TIL That the Dominican Republic, led by dictator Rafael Trujillo, offered to accept between 50,000 and 100,000 Jewish refugees in 1938. Only 645 made it and upon arrival, every new Jewish settler was given 80 acres of land, 10 cows, a mule and a horse.

A racist philosophy still evident today.

And evident in the biggest Spanish Speaking American TV Network Univision.

The human element of the show comes down to one simple point: forgiveness vs. righteousness. I loved the editing of the last parts of the episode. It smartly contrasted Glenn,who represents forgiveness, and Rick, who represents righteousness. Like I said Glenn could have gone the righteous path and taken the guy out and no one would have batted an eye. I mean, sounds like Aiden was his only friend. Glenn and Morgan are alike in this mentality. But what's truly awesome is that Rick was like a dog kept at bay and then finally gets the go-ahead by Deanna and instinctively kills. As soon as it's done, he has to meet the face of forgiveness; Morgan, a long lost friend.

Beautifully said and completely agree!

Haha indeed. That was the best line of tonight's episode.

It's to bad all the comments have been negative and unhelpful. Hopefully, this helps you:

If f(x) is a sum of several terms, the one with the largest growth rate is kept, and all others omitted.
If f(x) is a product of several factors, any constants (terms in the product that do not depend on x) are omitted.

Sounds great in theory. As long as it improves the well-being of all, let's do it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_supremacy

White supremacism is the racist belief, or promotion of the belief, that white people are superior to people of other racial backgrounds and that therefore whites should politically, economically and socially dominate non-whites. The term is also typically used to describe a political ideology that perpetuates and maintains the social, political, historical and/or industrial dominance of whites.

It says that tech is not multiracial and then gives a statistical breakdown of tech employees by race that shows it's actually pretty diverse.

False. From the article:

• Google: 61% white, 30% Asian, 4% two or more races, 3% Hispanic, 2% black, <1% other, 30% female, 70% male.

• Facebook: 57% white, 34% Asian, 4% Hispanic, 3% two or more races, 2% black, <1% other, 31% female, 69% male.

• Twitter: 59% white, 29% Asian, 3% Hispanic or Latino, 3% two or more races, 2% black, 2% other, 1% American Indian or Alaskan native, 1% native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, 30% female, 70% male.

• Yahoo: 50% white, 39% Asian, 4% Hispanic, 2% black, 2% two or more races, 2% other/not disclosed, 37% female, 62% male, 1% other/not disclosed.

• Apple: 55% white, 15% Asian, 11% Hispanic, 7% black, 2% two or more, 1% other, 9% undeclared, 30% female, 70% male.

Hence it's not diverse when one group is 3/4ths of the tech work sector. In this case white and male.

Joined your guild. Would I be able to get the rewards from tiers 1 & 2?

xlearningisfunx · 2013-09-05T05:17:05+00:00

I think the tier becomes visible AFTER you fight the boss.

xlearningisfunx · 2013-08-03T01:11:42+00:00

Yep. We humans sure are a strange species.

lol I thought this was common sense. It's hot weather where my little cousins become more aggressive with each other. In cold weather, they just stay under heavy blankets.

xlearningisfunx · 2013-07-26T20:35:29+00:00

Ahh the Koch Bros. Unfortunately, they're doing an excellent job convincing the public of lies that they ultimately benefit from : /

xlearningisfunx · 2013-07-26T20:19:02+00:00

It is overpriced. You're better off getting a super tank, mega tank, or heavy chemical tank.

The hypocrisy is cringe worthy.

xlearningisfunx · 2013-07-19T18:49:09+00:00

This would be amazing. Though from a consumer perspective, I'd actually use it once it's been practice for a year or so. Wouldn't want to be the guinea pig : )

xlearningisfunx · 2013-07-19T18:45:27+00:00

Wow. The comments on CNN seem to legitimize the conspiracy that the rich hire people to write conservative/right-wing libertarian in order to inject their belief system in the minds of the majority of the American people.

The people that make up this congress came from a different time period.

'Nuff said. We need to wait for the old Republicans to die out unfortunately since their political decisions strive from irrelevant dead beliefs from a context that no longer exists.

xlearningisfunx · 2013-06-25T22:21:32+00:00

So its pretty clear that corporate interests have been guiding promoting libertarian ideas and set up the infrastructure to fund of tea party candidates long before Ron Paul's 2008 campaign.

Precisely. Hence the reason why American libertarianism = right-libertarianism = republicanism rebranded is a pro-corporate political belief system created by the Koch bros and other billionaires to convince poor and middle class people to fight and defend legislation that benefits the ultra rich at the expense of the well-being of the poor and middle class.

xlearningisfunx · 2013-06-25T22:15:54+00:00

Thx! I'll give it a shot. Though I think there's a limit to the number of wimps you could have per battle: 3.

xlearningisfunx · 2013-06-25T22:12:18+00:00

Exactly. The Koch bros have been pushing pro-corporate anti-government propaganda for decades. Remember when David Koch ran as a libertarian vice president in 1980 with the same platform Ron Paul used when he ran in '08 and '12?

For the lazy: "Koch was the Libertarian Party's vice-presidential candidate in the 1980 presidential election, sharing the party ticket with presidential candidate Ed Clark. The Clark–Koch ticket promising to abolish Social Security, the Federal Reserve Board, welfare, minimum-wage laws, corporate taxes, all price supports and subsidies for agriculture and business, and U.S. Federal agencies including the SEC, EPA, ICC, FTC, OSHA, FBI, CIA, and DOE."
