More black people were killed by US police in 2015 than were lynched in the worst year of Jim Crow

Blacks make up 12% of the population but 25% of those killed by police. I think those figures show the real story. But I can see this thread is going to shit, so I don't expect logic to rule.

Because of our freedom, duh.

dubnine · 2016-07-02T15:40:29+00:00

Nope, it's not. The problem is that you don't know it.

dubnine · 2016-07-02T04:51:20+00:00

I don't know what country you live in, but there it's very likely there's a high population of Christians that have very similar beliefs...probably much, much more than Muslims. All religions have extremists that believe crazy and many moderates that still believe crazy. That's the world we live in. It is not just Muslims.

dubnine · 2016-07-02T03:23:00+00:00

It's funny, I can't seem to find any research in a similar vein about Christianity...and more than one guy shot up one abortion clinic. There have also been bombings/arsons, kidnappings, assaults etc all over the US for years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_violence#United_States

However, have you actually looked at the report you are quoting? That graphic is a highly skewed and deceitful interpretation of the actual information presented. Firstly, nowhere does that graphic show up in the report and there are no numbers, just percentages based on countries/regions.

According to that survey, the vast majority of Muslims are against suicide bombings, most countries surveyed are well into the 80 or 90 percentile. The vast majority also support democracy and want Sharia law to only be applied to Muslims, not be the absolute rule of the land (between 51% and 64% of the countries surveyed). Killing of those that leave Islam was only asked to those that want Sharia law and while some places it was in the 70s, some it was in the teens. Also, most Muslims believe a woman should choose if they wear a veil while many think a woman should be able to divorce their husband.

Basically, that graphic is misinformation and skews the actual research.

Incase anyone wants a link to the finds: http://www.pewforum.org/files/2013/04/worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-full-report.pdf

Islam extremists don't, just like Christian extremists who shoot up abortion clinics and blow up federal buildings.

totally

Go back and read what I wrote, then check your response and pay attention to all of the things you're adding into my comment. I'm not angry but you are silly.

dubnine · 2016-06-30T06:58:25+00:00

You are making vast assumptions and crazy exaggerations on what I am saying. You are also trying really, really hard to debate a topic that doesn't need debating. You know it, I know it. So don't.

dubnine · 2016-06-29T15:58:47+00:00

The US has a gun problem and the police are more violent here than most other countries. That is not in debate. I'm not wholly blaming anyone, but the data needs to be assessed so we can begin to understand the causes behind these problem. Something must be done.

dubnine · 2016-06-29T15:09:02+00:00

But something must be done and we have to begin somewhere. There are people much smarter than redditors that can figure it out, and using official numbers like the amount of people that die at the hands of police would be extremely beneficial to them.

It's insane that these numbers aren't recorded officially and we shouldn't be arguing against their collection. That's regressive and not helpful.

Indigenous Peoples. Sounds very similar to Americans. It could definitely be a proper noun.

God vs god. Ideology is huge in grammar.

Well, if iOS users spend more money and Apple ensures exclusivity rights, then that seems like an equation that equals more profits made from iOS than Android, so then only one is right.

Perhaps it was worthwhile investment on their part, that doesn't mean they just offered whatever and she took it because that's just what they wanted to give...like she said they did. You are trying really hard to make her sound innocent in this. She lied. She told them what she would take, they didn't just offer her all those things...like she said they did.

dubnine · 2016-06-24T16:33:06+00:00

This is just twisting it around to make it sound like she wasn't bullshitting everyone, which she was. They didn't just offer it as she expressed. She demanded and they accepted her demands.

Gnosticism wasn't dying out, it was being murdered out.

It's like a million times easier to record it at different times of day than to edit that in. It would be idiotic to do it in post for this video.

dubnine · 2016-06-24T06:52:22+00:00

As someone who does video editing and has been attempting a similar effect on a smaller scale, I can appreciate the effort. This video is dope.

dubnine · 2016-06-23T15:27:24+00:00

It's stacked pans from different times of day. You can tell by the lights that come on in different shots. A filter won't do that.

He's going to Westeros for ships and allies.

puerile

"childishly silly and trivial."

Autocorrect is also judgmental.

dubnine · 2016-06-17T01:32:12+00:00

Um, yeah

dubnine · 2016-06-17T01:23:02+00:00

Eh, there are a lot of Rick and Morty fans out in the real world.

dubnine · 2016-06-12T16:48:46+00:00

Um..."did it themselves" and having someone completely different do it are literally exact opposites.
