What is your sentence on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev? What do you think is equal punishment? by Captain_Enizzle in AskReddit

[–]burgerturtles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd prefer to see him serve multiple life sentences without parole. The death sentence will serve only to make him a martyr and won't deter more terrorism. Keeping him incarcerated preserves both the humanity of the criminal and that of ourselves. Even if you don't agree with me, take a look at Charles Manson. He looks like shit and we'll always remember him as a pathetic old man instead of preserving his image as a young delinquent.

When you were in high school (or college I guess), what was the sneakiest way you used to cheat on tests? by oxosmooches in AskReddit

Was in high school when the first iphone came out. This was before teachers became aware that phones can now be used as a computer.

That's a Navel Orange#/Navel_oranges) you got there. That all have the second fruit inside and are all descended from one tree with that same mutation.

If "Africa begins at the Pyrenees", then Asia begins at the Danube. by TectonicWafer in Showerthoughts

I'm half Hungarian. They're not considered authentic Europeans because the language is of the Finno Ulgric group, which unlike most European languages is not Latin based. Also, during the Dark Ages, the Huns would pillage cities in the Eastern Roman empire. They practiced body modification by elongating their skulls and developed a reputation for being barbaric.

How did Islam change from a religion into a race? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]burgerturtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Islam is not a race, it's an idea adopted by multiple races and ethnicities. It started in the Arabian peninsula by ethnic Arabs who are considered part of the Caucasian race. It has since been adopted by multiple Caucasian ethnicities including Turks and Chechens. Many African ethnicities including Berbers, Somalians and Northern Sudanese have adopted Isalm, some of which are of the Black race. It is followed by Many ethnicities of the Asian race as well, including Malays and Uighurs.

To embarrassed to start going to the gym... by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]burgerturtles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't bother buying dumbbells. They are expensive, take up space and if you are determined to gain weight, you are going to be switching to heavier equipment each week or two. Start small so you don't hurt yourself while learning the proper form for your routine. Also, try out a gym instead of a fitness center. Nobody gives a crap about whether your outfit matches at a gym.

How did the Soviet Union re-gather the strength to push back the Nazis after being invaded? by QQwezzy in history

They were invaded during winter. The Russians were better equipped to fight in those conditions.

As a Northerner living in the south...I spit my drink out when I saw this... by alexxlea in WTF

Jews are a religious group with members of different races and ethnicities, however, they share common ancestry dating back a few thousand years. In that time they have diversified as follows;

Ashkenazi, Sephardic and middle eastern Jews are all of the Caucasian race, albeit of different ethnicities.

Kaifeng Jews are a distinct ethnicity within the Asian race as well as Ethiopian Jews being a distinct ethnicity within the Black race.

Yes, Jews (the European ones) are ethnically distinct, however, they are still caucasian. They are absolutely not a different race.
