Can you explore more than just your bridge yet?

Not at present, but they are planning on it in the future, so I'll keep the heads up on that.

Nice Cowlick :D

What?

Anywho, yeah technobabble would be fun but since I see an enormous amount of people who don't know how to look at the basic galactic map function or even use google or the STO Wiki page to find things out, I doubt they'd understand anything about the secondary gyromagnetic relays emitting a post-thermionic feedback loop which is destabilizing the structural integrity field. They just wanna see pretty splosions n junk.

oh god

Why is it that all the popular series'/movies take place in high school.
HSM1-3 was a hit with dumbass middle school girls.(I laughed out loud when i heard they were making a third one)
and other highschool related shows/movies are also popular.
and actual highschool is the exact opposite of the movies

I was pissed off when they turned Dragon Ball into some stupid assed Teeny High School drama thing. forget Hollywood, right up their collective asses.

It's better to wait than be late.

If there was some circumstance that prevented you from arriving to class on time, that may be excuseable, but most school students are late because they were doing something like talking to a friend, cell phone, or getting food which all are inexcusable. Since you never specified why you cut it so close, I can assume it's the latter inexcusable things that you were doing. So just take it with some salt and grow some balls and write the paper, not like they cane you or anything.

It's five sentences and five lines. Judging from Rughuggers's posts before he will have no problem reading that much (I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem with that huge essay either since he's read through bigger posts before).

I can't speak for you of course. If that post was too long for you, start here and come back when you're ready:

Nope read the whole thing and I can see the point of a lot of your merits, but elections are a whole different matter altogether since the President is elected by the electoral college and not the popular vote which is the people of the US. The president is elected by the state determined representatives based off of a census that is incomplete or in all effects inaccurate because people die every day (about an average of 6171) people that's one person every 14 seconds. It is also been presented that a lot of these deaths are still counted in every election which would make those statistics grossly inaccurate. Just look up New York Voting scams. Statistics, as you said may be true, but they can also be altered to spread a lie. Close to what you are talking about, but still true none the less. This is a reason I don't place complete faith in statistical data. Because you do not know the credibility of the people taking it. People have been known to embellish census data to gain a little extra income to their towns or reversal, reduce amounts of taxes paid.

tl;dr: statistics is only reliable to a 100% degree when done personally and 100% of your target surveyed respond. And even then they can lie about their status which I'm sure some people do or even make a mistake which is also known to happen. So it's not to be taken for granted.

First you say that they don't make less money, now you say they don't work as hard.

You're switching stories solely to avoid accepting the truth. Don't know how many times I have to say this, but working hard in America doesn't guarantee anything. The American dream died with Reagan.

Don't work as hard = less pay. Or at least that's what seems to be reflected on every job performance review I've ever had when that was an issue. I know a few times I didn't get my full promotional bonus because of areas I needed to improve on while others got the full thing. So yeah, I got paid less for lazy work.

The explanations are fully related and aren't dodging anything.

The proof is complete. I don't know why you refuse to allow yourself to be convinced of the facts. You're really asking for a poll of all 320 million people in this country, instead of an evenly distributed percentage. Every scientist accepts this kind of raw data. It's a representative value, and is not diminished by the fact it's not the whole.

My point is that minorities are simply poorer in America because if its history if discriminatory laws. To say that they are poor for other reasons is simply tribal.

To say any other reason is tribal is extremely closed minded. I don't doubt the fact that that's how it used to be. But with all the charities and other such fundraisers run for every minority cause out there, you can't say they're poor for anything. They simply don't need that much money to pay for schooling with the United Bro college fund. Or you don't need to worry about getting a job if you're native and apply at a casino. Want to work in a Chinese restaurant? Not if you're Japanese, but that's their problem. But nowadays most minorities get their so called lower paying jobs how? By pulling out the race card. "I'll sue you if you don't hire me because I'm black. That's tribal" Then they get the job and wonder why they're not paid as much as people who actually know what they are doing.

I don't deny that there are actual qualified people out there of minority status, but the majority of them are the whiners who are never happy no matter what you shove in their faces to make them smile. It's an endless cycle of Gimmie gimmie gimmie by those who know how to manipulate the system. And I'm pretty sure you know it too.

You completely disregarded what I said. Segregation policies from the 60s are what caused most blacks and Hispanics to have a lower income.

Your reasoning is that they are poor because they are lazy and won't work for themselves. They want to be leeches, abusing welfare. Given the fact that it is the blacks and Hispanics who are poor you are saying that blacks and Hispanics are lazy and a burden on hard working people.

That's pretty much the definition of racism.

shut up monday

No, you are wrong once again. I denounce the proof because it is incomplete. you wouldn't accept that BS if it dealt with one of your wholesome evolutionist science stuff. Incomplete is incomplete. And you only assume that it's only the blacks and other minorities that live through that. Well I will enlighten you Mr. 15 year old wonder of all knowledge. I lived off of welfare and food stamps and not once did I care to improve my situation so long as the state was paying for me. I was one of those lazy unmotivated people I was talking about. Am I black> Nope. Am I native american? Nope? Am I Asian? Partly, but not enough to be not called caucasion. How can I be tribal against myself?

You can stop right there. You don't know what it's like on that side of the fence. Just mow your green lawn and play your exks bawks that mommy and daddy bought for you.

You're in denial about the fact of income disparity.

And that makes me tribal how? People are poor because they have a piss poor attitude and accept where they're at and don't get off their asses to improve it so long as they get welfare or food stamps. Why work when everything's given to you?

Of course not everyone fills out the census. The point is that it's a fair representation of the country because a percentage of people fill it out everywhere. It's not like everyone in NYC fills it out while the rest of the country doesn't. There's a percentage of people who do it that stays pretty much the same wherever you go.

You are genuinely tribal.

Yeah, I'm tribal because I feel everyone makes their own destiny despite their color or creed. I'm tribal because I don't put all my faith into an incomplete study. I'm tribal just because you say so. That makes it all clear to me now. Oh how I have sinned =p

They conquered the land.  When you conquer land, it's yours.

So then the native americans have no right to bitch to the US. Gotcha.

Also the US census is inaccurate because not everyone fills those papers out. There is no way that the Census bureau can keep track of 100% of the people in the US at one time. That's impossible. Flawed results based of incomplete data does not equal statistical fact.

Oh yeah, we pretty much took 1/3 of Mexico in the 1800s.  In Mexico city there is a museum.  At that museum they show a map of Mexico then, and now.  The tour guide will tell everyone, "This is the land America stole from us"

We did steal there land.  It wouldn't be right if Mexico wasn't aloud here.. But I am speaking the facts, IMO Mexicans are loving annoying.

Ah but the mexicans (aka historically Spaniards who stole that land themselves from the native Mayans) were not indigenous. They have no real claim to anything. lol
