BD66 comments on Jan 21, 2019:

I worked at a company that did it even worse. They had everyone sit at their desks, then announced someone's name over the PA system. That person was then to go to the director of engineering to be told he was laid off. The whole ordeal (with the public announcement of the next victim) lasted several hours.

So I've watched the video of the kids with the MAGA hats.

Here's the 2 hour video taken by the Black Hebrew Israelites: 1:07 They are taunting the Covington Catholic kids 1:12 Phillips and his group march into the middle of the kids attempting to intimidate them 1:17 Phillips and his group give up and the Black Hebrew Israelites start taunting the kids again. What's amazing is the the Black Hebrew Israelites and Phillips group actually thought it was a good idea recording themselves harassing and intimidating the group of kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVtYPRAjYY8

So I've watched the video of the kids with the MAGA hats.

BD66 comments on Jan 21, 2019:

You are 100% correct. The two hour video shows the whole sordid affair. First the kids were harassed by one group of adults, the Black Hebrew Israelites (a hate group). Then Phillips and his group marched into the middle of them trying to intimidate them with their drums. The school was also negligent leaving the kids in the middle of such a volatile hostile environment without enough adult supervision or adult protection. That group of kids responded about as well as you could expect in that situation.

BD66 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

Don't post it here, post it in the general politics section. These people have to realize that Nathan Phillips is an absolutely despicable individual. He approached a group of innocent young boys hoping to initiate a conflict. He bangs his drum in one of their faces after another to intimidate them. When one of them stands his ground, he turns around and leaves. He then made up a bunch of ridiculous lies slandering the boys. The news media ate it up.

Covington Catholic could expel students who taunted Native American man

BD66 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

You should be upset about being deceived (AGAIN) by the leftist media. The kids from the Catholic school were in the middle of a school cheer when Nathan Phillips walked into their midst banging a drum. They were confused and thought the group was joining them. Then Nathan Phillips approached one boy after another banging his drum forcing them to move out of the way. He finally met a boy who would not move, and he stood and banged his drum near the boy's face for 2 minutes hoping to intimidate the boy. When he failed to intimidate the boy or to incite violence, he turned around and left. Nathan Philips has done the same thing on college campuses and he has incited violence in the past. Here's what really happened. Watch the videos and see for yourself. https://twitter.com/aclementswkrc/status/1086822521012473858?s=21=IwAR0FfcYCUNDlqLRIXaBdADgb0UuvaR3sdkTRwcmB_6BjQewr0blGNU1ga5Q

BD66 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

From reading the news stories and watching the videos, it appears the following happened. Nathan Phillips is a political activist who is strongly against Trump's policies. He was in DC to express his political feelings. The kids were in DC on a school trip, and (from their hats) are in favor of most of Trump's policies. Nathan Phillips approached the kids. He was walking towards one kid after another banging the drum in front of him forcing the kids to move out of the way. Watch the look on the kid's face at 0:20. The Native Americans with Phillips did not feel threatened by the kids in any way. Watch the video at 0:36 to 0:40. Every kid Nathan Phillips approached moved out of the way until he encountered one kid who would not. 0:54. Nathan Phillips was banging his drum in the kids face and singing very loudly into the kid's face in an attempt to intimidate him. Nathan Phillips had every opportunity to go around the kid, but he stood there for almost two minutes banging the drum in the kids face. The kids had every right to be on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial expressing their point of view. Nathan Phillips had every right to be on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial expressing his point of view. There is a small woman in the group with Nathan Phillips 2:23. She doesn't look the least bit scared or intimidated by the kids. She is the only person in the entire video who uses profanity. The kid had no obligation whatsoever to step aside. If Nathan Phillips had hit the kid with his drumstick that would have been assault and battery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH1L0RBIfu4

I doubt that kid will ever know what it's like to serve.

BD66 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

Watch the video. The old man is marching into the crowd banging the drum in front of him forcing the kids to get out of the way, until he encountered a kid who wouldn't be intimidated. He could have passed by the kid on the left or on the right, but he chose to stand there banging his drum closer and closer to the kid's face trying to get the kid to move out of his way. His sole intention is to intimidate the kid and make him move out of his way. Also, listen to the entire 3:44 video. I didn't hear a single "build that wall" from anyone there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH1L0RBIfu4

BD66 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

I watched the video, but I don't get the context. Was this a planned organized march that was blocked by the group of kids? If so, the kids were in the wrong. Was this just two different groups who happened to be at the same place at the same time? If so, then the old man beating the drum close to the kid's face was in the wrong.

Do you believe every racial/ethnic/demographic group has the same average intelligence? If so, why do you believe that would be the case? Watch an Olympic Games: The best sprinters are almost all of West African descent. The best distance runners are almost all of North and East African descent. The best swimmers are almost all of European descent Watch an NFL game: You will find a whole lot more African Americans and Pacific Islanders than you should from their relative populations. Icelanders make up 0.005% of the world's population, but they have won 21.9% of the World's Strongest Man titles. If I said "Icelanders are the strongest demographic group on the planet", Would you get angry at me? Jews make up 0.2% of the world's population, but they have won 22.5% of the Nobel Prizes, and they make up a large portion of the faculty at elite universities. If I said "Ashkenazi Jews are the smartest demographic group on the planet." Would you get angry at me? Measurable differences across racial/ethnic/demographic groups leads to a lot of difficult problems. Do you base entrance criteria to elite universities solely on class rank and SAT scores, or do you set quotas for different racial/ethnic/demographic groups? Do you hire faculty at universities solely on academic achievement, or do you set quotas for different racial/ethnic/demographic groups?

BD66 comments on Jan 13, 2019:

There is a huge difference. Every church or religion can make it's own rules, but in the USA citizens can decide whether they want to be a member of the church or religion and follow those rules. "Rules" of the government are called laws. There are tax laws, drug laws, personal property laws, and immigration laws. If the overwhelming majority of people did not make a reasonable effort to follow those laws, there would be chaos. I think that you are correct with respect to Trump. When it was obvious that millions were breaking our immigration laws and the Democratic party was actually encouraging them to do so, many people believed it was important to elect someone who would enforce our immigration laws.

Yeah... You gotta be careful who you let come into country!

I'm a libertarian small-government guy. I've seen the federal and state governments do so many stupid things that the less power they have the better. For example. Carter's grain embargo of the Soviet Union cut my dad's income by 70% and bankrupted hundreds of thousands of farmers. I worked for government contractors from 1987 through 1999, and the waste was staggering. I could go on for days, but just one story. I had just finished an introduction to digital circuits class, then I went to work for Hughes Aircraft Company as a college intern. They said "We want you to build a parallel processing computer" I gave it my best shot, spent about $500,000 of Uncle Sam's money, then went back to college 8 months later and the project died. I built spy stuff for Uncle Sam for 3 years. I learned enough doing that to know that the people in power in DC don't give a damn about the constitutional rights of US Citizens. I've been audited by the IRS twice. Same story, when you put small people in positions of power they will attempt to abuse that power. The first audit was no problem but still cost me $1100 to pay a CPA to represent me. During the second audit, they said I owed $28,000. After a year of fighting with the IRS, I went in and settled and wrote them a check for $1500. The supervisor there said "You seem like a nice person, but I hope your name never comes up in an audit again" Apart from my own personal experiences, the 20th Century provides numerous social science experiments where large powerful collectivist governments are a disaster: West Germany vs. East Germany. South Korea vs. North Korea Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore vs. Communist China The Democrats are the ones that want to take us down the road to a large powerful collectivist government, so when it matters, I vote Republicans because they are the lessor of 2 evils. When it doesn't matter, I cast symbolic votes for Libertarian party candidates.

Trump hints at firing Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. THE CHAIRMAN IS DOING HIS JOB STUPID!

BD66 comments on Dec 22, 2018:

Trump's biggest mistake is hiring Jerome Powell: Our National Debt has grown from 5,674 Billion September 2000 to 21,516 Billion In September 2018. That's a growth rate of 7.8% per year averaged over Republican Presidents and Democratic Presidents and over Republican Congresses and Democratic Congresses. If our GDP does not grow faster than our national debt, we will with 100% certainty go bankrupt as a country and experience what those in Venezuela are experiencing today. Our GDP has grown from 10319 B in September 2000 to 20660 B in September 2018. That's a growth rate of 3.9% per year averaged over 18 years. It's almost exactly half the growth rate of our debt. Bernanke and Yellen did their part to keep the economy growing. Trump and the Republican Congress spurred on growth with the help of the tax cut. Then Trump appointed that damned fool Jerome Powell to head the Federal Reserve. Powell inherited a roaring economy and a bull market, and he has raised interest rates 4 times this year in order to slow down the economy. He said at the news conference that (after his 4 rate hikes) they are projecting a growth rate of 2.5% next year. So the economy is growing at 2.5%, and the debt is growing at 7.8%. It doesn't take a genius to figure out we are headed for bankruptcy.

Welcome Scott. I had enough science background to realize that most Old Testament stories had to be nonsense. For example the Universe was created in 13,000,000,000 years, not 6 days.

Other than Agnostic, what social networks do you use and like?

What's amazing is that the Santa Claus story is much more plausible than the story of a being that created a universe with 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars knocked up a teenage Jewish girl, then entered Earth in human form ~2000 years ago. Adults don't believe the Santa Claus story, but they do believe the Jesus story.

Seems to me that firing tear gas over the wall into Mexico is an act of war! What do you think?

There are a lot of similarities to the way Poland started WWII.

What's your stance on Roe vs Wade?

Pro-choice up until the baby could make it on its own (~24 weeks). After that I'm pro-life because killing the baby when it could survive on its own outside the womb is almost murder.

What will historians 2000 years from now regard as a barbaric practice of the 21st century that we ...

Probably killing animals to eat their muscles. We have the technology today to grow muscles in a test tube. It will likely be cost-effective and cheaper than growing the entire animal very soon (relative to 2000 years).

The stock market is collapsing like in 2008, but the media doesn't want to tell you.

There is a big difference. In 2008, there was a lot of bad debt out there. In 2018, there isn't so much bad debt, it's just that the Federal Reserve is hiking interest rates so fast that those that borrowed money are being forced to sell. The forced selling is what is killing the market. Jerome Powell has been Trump's biggest mistake.

I would watch this so hard.

I realized the Bigfoot thing was impossible after about 1 season of that show. The big guy (don't remember his name), said "Deer are the favorite food of Squatches". At that point I realized that for the past 50 years, 10 million deer hunters are out in the woods looking for deer. If bigfoots are out there looking for the same deer, there would be many, many deer hunter/bigfoot encounters, but there are none.

Is it possible to have a deep intimate relationship, as an atheist, with a catholic person?

It's working for me right now. My girlfriend of 11 months got up and went to mass while I slept in.
