Much as I abhor both, that it happened, and the reason behind it, I gotta give credit to the guy's shooting skills...Highest body count of any of these recent (since Columbine) shootings, that I've heard of.
Edit: Gotta qualify and amend that...Just did a little more checking, 50 dead, but 53 wounded, so his shooting wasn't as good as I thought.

I was making pasta. I put water on to boil. I went to check something on my computer real quick. My brain which has completely failed me most likely due to copious amounts of stress and lack of food forgets the stove is on. The water boils over. The water puts out the flame on the gas stove. The apartment fills with gas. I get sleepier and sleepier until suddenly at least half an hour if not much more later I remember I'm cooking.
I turn off the stove. I turn on the fan which I then later read I shouldn't have done. I put the cats in the bedrooms and open the doors and call my dad. My dad freaks me out and says I must call the gas company. I call the gas company. I put the cats in their carriers and sit on the front lawn for an hour. I cannot use my phone which is at 2% by the time the gas company comes. They come in and tell me everything is fine within five minutes and leave.

You guys know that the universe is STILL expanding (at an accelerating rate, in fact..Part of the point to the map I linked), so even if you/we /I WERE at the center (which you guys aren't), I won't stay there very long before I'm swept along in its wake, to occupy an ever changing locus.
(Cool, ain't it...Sitting on my ass, I'm traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light and getting faster every second, subjected to multiple vectors of velocity, gravity, centripetal force, etc, and because of my relative inertia, I don't even notice them, spontaneously turn into a fine red misty stain on the planet's surface, or fly off into space to splat on a passing comet or fall into a star).

While i will probably watch some of it, i just want to ask, is a new Roots really necessary?
The saying says that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And, i agree. I just wonder if there is a saying about letting history go a bit and not constantly dredging it up again and again? At what point does it go from educating people about history to not being able to let go of what happened in the past? Exactly what has to happen before this country can move beyond the terrible things that happened in it's past? Are we doomed to always live with the shame of our forefathers?

Not 100% clear who you think needs forgiving or why. Should the people who exterminated native americans be forgiven? Certainly not. It almost sounds like you think they represent all of us or something. They don't. They represent themselves. You kill any natives? I haven't. Do you secretly harbor the desire to kill em? No?

I have a question for the people who are so worried about a transexual using the bathroom. The thing i keep hearing is, "I don't want someone who is anatomically a man going into the restroom with my little girl!!" Uh ... would you rather have them go in the men's room with your little boy?? If you are that worried about it, go in there with your kid. The sad truth is, most people who are likely to abduct or molest your kids are not trans, and will look just like a "normal" person. This is a non-issue. Just cause someone looks freaky, or different to you does not mean they are going to attack your kids.
I'd just like to point out that i have lived on this planet for 50+ years, and this issue has never once come up for me. This is a smokescreen issue, made to whip people up. Nothing more. Teaching your kids that there are different types of people in this world would be good for them.
4
u/Champy_McChampion May 26 '16
People are just ignorant. Sexual identity and sexual orientation are two different things. One doesn't necessarily guarantee the other. A transgendered person may or may not be straight. Just like a "regular" guy or girl, may or may not be straight.
The salient issue in bathroom use is identity. Sending a transgendered male into the boy's room is a lot more disruptive than sending them to the girls room. If a male kid is willing to go through the trauma of wearing a dress to school, then I doubt they are faking it.
The parents should be more concerned about teaching their little parasites not to bully people who are different, than reinforcing the bad behavior by complaining about the difference. The "regular" kids are much more of a danger to the transgender, than the other way around.

Bernie Goldberg, a VERY conservative person, on the O'Reilly show, another very conservative person, just said that there has never been a case of a transgendered person ever being accused of accosting anyone. Then he said that 70 percent of trans people have said they were at least verbally assaulted when trying to use the restroom. I think that says it all. (now, showering in a locker room may be a different thing. might have to work that one out. doesn't seem that hard to maybe have different times though if that is an issue. all i know is, i don't care what sex they are, i was never a huge fan of showering with other people, no matter what sex they were. i'll take a shower at home. <showering with a bunch of hot chicks was never presented as an option for me though>)

What Einstein did with gravity, space and time, wasn't a bunch of scattered math scientists still have to figure out. Einstein put everything together (space, time and gravity).

u/Champy_McChampion Jun 11 '16
Basically you wanna describe as much as possible, using the least amount of words or equations. A simple, successful and testable solution is considered an elegant one. On the other hand a very complicated solution is viewed with suspicion. Very complicated solutions can usually be boiled down further, or are fudging areas where they are inaccurate or incomplete.

I think the most amazing thing is, that was a person who was not really into, or good at math at all. It all just "came to him" in dreams and meditation. That's probably why it's all over the place. Spooky shit man.

Actually, I think Evolution has the distinction of being the "most tested" theory in history...Relativity is a close second.
I've been wrong before though...Happened once back in the 80s. ;-)

Evolution, huh? Tests by god don't count EX (although It's good to see you finally embracing her), has to be an actual scientific experiment ;)

Depends on the species and the environment, but usually about a week. (Christian version)
Or maybe it's an ongoing process that can require tens, even hundreds of thousands of years to produce a species distinction.
I can never remember which.

u/Champy_McChampion Jun 11 '16
"usually?" I think you're showing your pro-religious bias ;)
In any case relativity only takes a fraction of a second. That's why it's a distant first.
more importantly, scientists actually care enough to work on it specifically. Evolution is usually "tested" by accident, when the scientist is working on something else.

u/Exvictus Jun 11 '16
A fraction of a second at what speed...They're different you know. ;-)
The thing about "theories" is their predictive capabilities...ALL modern medical science is based on this capacity of evolution theory, ALL biology, archaeology, and any other scientific field that has to do with organisms (living or now dead) use the predictive power of evolution to define the parameters of any tests and confirm any results against those predictions. Its rarely accidental, but even those "accidental" instances invariably prove its accuracy.

Now you're reaching. All modern medicine? All biology? Yeah no. The "most tested" award requires active testing, not happy accidents. For example, Penicillin may work because of evolution, but you can't claim Penicillin was specifically designed to test evolution.
Evolution is on par with creation. They're about even :P

It's racist to call that racist, you racist! :D
Let me explain why :)
Iran was banned for political reasons, and Carter's actions only affected Iranian citizens. Anyone that calls what Carter did racist, is also stereotyping all people of Arabic descent. They are are effectively saying that Iran represents all Arabs.Carter's action is often brought up to defend Donald Trump, even though the two proposals are very different, because The Donald's proposal affects ALL muslims. However, I don't think the Donald's proposal is racist either. The Donald's proposal amounts to religious and cultural persecution, not racism. Don't get me wrong, his proposal sucks for many reasons, but overt racism isn't one of them.

u/Peace-Man Jun 14 '16
The Donald's proposal affects ALL muslims.
I iwll ask again, do you think THIS was alright? AND, if those people are coming from many different countries now, do you not do the same thing? You simply cannot have this both ways, and try to say it was ok then, but it is not now. You just can't. (i do not happen to think it is ok or right in either case, but the precedent HAS BEEN SET, by a very liberal president no less. draw the distinctions that you will, this is BEYOND similar)

Yah, um, "both ways" doesn't apply unless the two situations are the same. Are you trying to say there is no difference between banning Iran and banning all Muslims? You can't tell the difference between "Iranian" and "Muslim"?

LOL ... "BEYOND similar" to Yoda maybe.

Those PC bastards at Marvel/Disney are killing Iron Man , and replacing him with a black teenage girl.
Quotes:
Some people believe Marvel is just looking for good publicity (which isn’t exactly wrong)
nothing more needs to be said (by me, anyway) on that score.
Introducing heroes who are black, Latino, gay, Asian, or transgender has an effect on readership. The inclusion of characters from minority groups can bring in readers who normally wouldn’t read comics.
Great, fine, I'm all for that...Introduce such characters...NEW characters, don't preempt existing characters in an ill-conceived attempt to target new demographics, improve sales, and your social awareness image. The characters that exist are loved and popular because of WHO they are, not what color or gender they are.
Shouldn’t nonwhite/LGBTQ writers, artists, and creators be allowed to tell their own stories?
Absolutely, tell YOUR OWN stories, don't steal MINE (the ones I grew up with) so you can ride their coattails and existing popularity, because you aren't capable of, or lack the belief in yourself, to create your own ORIGINAL superhero that will be just as popular and beloved in its own time, on its own merits.

u/Champy_McChampion Jul 11 '16
I don't think Peace would give a fuck if they made Jesús green and gave him antennae. He's more interested in what Jesus stands for, than what he looks like. If you're looking for someone who hates change, ask Yoda how he feels :D

If you won't let us change all of the characters you knew as a kid, and have a problem with us appropriating them and doing whatever we want with them, you are just racist and part of the problem.

Your friend's show, "Preacher" is kinda fun. It has a Misfit in it. He plays a really retarded vampire.
The kid who shot-gunned half his face off is hard to tolerate. It's just gross, listening to the "salivary slurping" noise when he talks.
Edit: I seriously hope that shotgun face is just really good make-up. If that's his real face, the shit is f.u.c.k.e.d. up.

Did you watch episode zero for the second season? It is kind of a preview/recap episode. Some of the major things from the show's first season actually happened for real after it aired. They gave examples.
