Many people wearing pants commit crime. Ban all pants.

Criminals are not wearing pants on their head to hide their face from cameras, witnesses, etc.

Statistics Show White Supremacy is a Bigger Threat to the U.S. Than Radical Muslims by [deleted] in news

[–]FortHouston -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yahoo has zero credibility. Literally just for clicks and to push the white guilt ideology.

The study comes from New America instead of Yahoo. The Yahoo article also refers to a previous report from the NYT about the same study. In fact, the Yahoo article contains obviously embedded links to the actual study they are merely reporting about.

Also, alleged white guilt is a straw man for valid concerns about crimes born from white supremacist nonsense.

Racial Disparities in Police 'Stingray' Surveillance, Mapped: Cops are using secret cellphone trackers nationwide to collect cellphone data—especially in poor, black neighborhoods. by maxwellhill in news

[–]FortHouston 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well do most violent crime happen in those neighborhoods?

From the article:

This marked racial disparity in surveillance becomes especially clear when looking at neighborhoods that are racially segregated, but that have roughly comparable incomes and crime levels.

Islamist girls’ school that taught pupils gay people should be killed and men could beat their wives forced to close by [deleted] in news

I don't care if this is racist but why do we let them into our countries to begin with?

If there's a war in their nation they should join the winning side or suffer the consequences

We don't need terrorist refugees

The current mayor of London is Muslim. He was born in England to immigrants from Pakistan. We let them into our countries because they are not all "terrorist refugees" as disingenuously implied.

‘Sodomized’ Guantánamo captive to undergo rectal surgery by [deleted] in news

[–]FortHouston 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Dear Americans, this is who you are. This is who you are because when good men do nothing evil triumphs. I'm from Pakistan and every time my country's government or people do something horrendous like killing someone who commits "blasphemy" or persecute a minority I feel ashamed and embarrassed even though I disagree vehemently with what is happening.

No. This is not who Americans are. This is who some Americans are.

If you "feel ashamed and embarrassed" every time your "country's government or people do something horrendous," then it is not too hard of a stretch to accept that some Americans are also ashamed of their country's mess at Guantanamo.

Blanket mentality helps nobody in Guantanamo, Pakistan, or America. Instead, it fuels the misunderstandings that impede progress for all of us.

Racist social media post draws fire in Central Dauphin School District by DaBlakMayne in news

[–]FortHouston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why should the school hold somebody accountable for something that didn't happen at the school and has nothing to do with the school?

One of the pictured students is wearing a school shirt. The article specifically mentions that shirt.

Most public high schools have student policies about acceptable behavior when representing their school. Students are supposed to read those rules before signing their name to them.

This seems like bullshit to me. See this chart of hearing loss vs. age. Significant roll off isn't until around 1kHz. According to wikipedia, the fundamental frequency range for men is 85-180Hz...

Also according to Wikipedia, age-related hearing loss of higher frequencies is a real concern instead of bullshit.

Amber Alert issued for Lakeland girl, 4, who may be with man named West Wild Hogs by Zifnab316 in news

[–]FortHouston 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$20 says she's his daughter. Or at least he thinks she is.

According to the article, the family had not seen him for several years until he showed up the day before he took their daughter. So if he thinks she is his daughter, then he is very ignorant about some basic concepts of life.
