Trayvon Martin Incident: Facts vs. Distortion

[pspr]

Quote from RCG Trader:

Oh no, I did go thru the conservative phase, never dreaming that they would go so far to the right as to attack an entire era of civil rights.

More dribble from the resident racist.

There is nothing wrong with civil rights. It's special rights that are the problem and one history will look back upon with disgust as it sees the abuse and loathing that it created. It will be an era that the U.S. looks back at as a lesson that equal rights cannot be attained through the use of special rights.

As others have pointed out, equal opportunity is the nobility that is America. Equal outcomes is the failure that is socialism in all its forms.

Quote from Eight:

all those guys' thinking is based on assumptions that, upon examination, can be viewed as very shakey indeed. Your thinking is based on an assumption that they "just have to be right".. You were rewarded in childhood for learning to regurgitate what the teacher/textbook told you so you feel good about your assumption that they "just have to be right".. That's about the extent of it all, that's why some of us consider the majority of "science" to be such a yawner.. Science has been so wrong so many times, there should be a course in that subject..

The go-to excuse for those too dense to appreciate what finer minds have accomplished over the course of time as they stand on the shoulders of those who came before them. We are where we are from the days of the Stone Age because of the ever increasing accuracy of scientific reason. If you disagree, then go live in a cave.

"Shaky?" Quantum physics agrees with observation. As Hawking reported, it has never failed a test, and it has been tested more than any other theory in science. As for evolution, only theist ideologues dispute its overwhelming scientific evidence.

Now go see about that cave.

You need to face the facts that the pressure for minorities has turned the issue of civil rights to civil wrongs.

Getting special rights (for minorities) is obvious to the rational observer.

It's a policy that is doomed to backfire with unintended consequences but then again it's not as if they don't deserve it.

Yeah. So, what's your point?

After the a-hole busts in and robs you, you catch him leaving, you should yell, "hey! you missed my ex wife's engagement ring" and when he turns to get it, double tap his ass.

Funny, I consider Jem to be the one with the upper hand on those threads.

That’s the thing.
You would.
Same as flat earthers, creationists do find their vulgar, dishonest and irrational non-argument compelling.

If someone broke into my home with me inside I would give them a verbal warning, once.

After that I'm going to use my Rem870 to see what they had for breakfast. Then I'll call the police and Stanley Carpet Cleaners and go back to whatever I was doing.

I wouldn't give any verbal warning. The security system would do that for me. I have a Sig 40 cal for the next stage, and I won't care what direction they're facing or what they're doing.

I live in Florida.

We have mostly wood floors downstairs. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
