There was a great tv documentary that analysed the dna of english bigots. Only one was pure north european. The one that came up time and time again was mongolian. Lots of arabian too. One of the testees subsequently tried suing the show makers for ruining her purity.
Cool.

So they analyzed the race, bigotomia?

There are two ways to consider this, assuming that your information is accurate.  I think to a degree it is accurate.

1.  Islam accentuates these negatives in human behavior.
2.  To some degree, the human material that Islam works with is subpar.

Either 1 or 2 or both 1+2 could be at work.  Note that 2 can be hereditory or environment, for example we know a lack of iodine in North African countries has affected intelligence.

Seems there is something definitely peculiar about the current wave of "refugees," though.  Compared to past historical waves of refugees.  The US has seen them for five decades from Cuba, we have seen them from East Germany, and certainly from South Vietnam.

This is different, so let's not gloss over this fact with politically correct blather.
 OBAMA IS A SECRET MUSLIM i thinks... No proof of this..

3D-Printed Semi-Automatic Gun Is Simply Terrifying

Even if his plans did leak he doesn’t think untraceable semiautomatic weapons will be flooding the streets and flowing into the hands of criminals. “If you keep shooting, it’s going to fail,” he hold Wired. “That makes it not such a desired weapon for a criminal.”

So all you have to do is dodge bullets until the gun fails. Phew.

http://gizmodo.com/3d-printed-semi-automatic-gun-is-simply-terrifying-1756820431


This is not terrifying.

It is only an early stage in the adaptation of weapon technology to 3d printing.

3d printing requires re examination of basic concepts such as "what is a cartridge?"  "what is a barrel?"  "What is a firing mechanism?"

Bullets, for example, may be made with short integral barrels.  All barrels may be one use throwaway.  Etc.

The duplication of an existing firearm on a 3d printer is a waste of time.

Well said.  Very true wouldn't cost much to make a barrel every time depending on what use you were using the gun for.  1 shot barrels would be great for certain situations while say target practicing it would get pretty expensive and not much fun after the few shots.

As for safety that would depend on what you are trying to accomplish.

I would think that all rifle rounds would be out of the question.  as the high pressures  that they excert when fired.   But for smaller general round this could be easily accomplished.  I would fire a .22 threw a plastic barrel (maybe)   lol.  As for say a 50cal that would be obvious that it wouldn't work.  You would need a barrel with much greater strength.

If you are constructing a handgun styled gun.  you could essentially drill your own as long as you had a way to drill it.

But until printers are cheaper ill still to my BP guns with a replaced cylinder.  they come in all different sizes.  .22 9mm 40 45 45colt and just about everything in between.

I wouldn't touch a BP gun with a "replaced cylinder" without doing some engineering analysis on the metals and the powder.  Although as you not a 22 is trivial.  Generally, though, the BP guns are rather interesting.  BP is quite dangerous but the modern replacements are safer. 

Until you've loaded up a black powder gun like a 1847 Colt Walker, tamped the charge down, squeezed the balls in, covered them with wax, set the primers, and pointed that thing downrange, you simply can't appreciate what those guys in the 19th century went through to keep their families safe and put food on the table.

As for 3d printers, they are here now and their abilities are here now...

My hypothesis is that genes play a much more important role than race. In the image we see large amounts of people both black and white who have an iq lower than 100. However we must be sceptical. What year is this picture from? What source?

This is a bell curve showing results of studies comparing races and ethnic groups with IQ among U.S. test subjects show differences in average test scores (Reynolds et al. 1987)

However there may be bias due to people (value education, in some Asian families a bad grade is shame to the family), educational possibilities (in the US education is not free), drugs usage etc.  When we look at the number of people with an iq higher or equal to 130 this is pretty low in all races.

But, within the Asian countries there are vast differences. The average iq of South Korea is 106, Indonesia is 89 and Philippines 86. (IQ and the Wealth of Nations, 2002). That is to say, either education or genes play an enormous role. This means the Philippines (Asian) has about the same bell curve as the black curve, while the South Korean bell curve is much more similar to the asian curve.  This is why we could claim that genes play a much more important role than race.

The claim of picture four "These are not the same species" may be false, because a species is defined as the largest group of organisms (animals) where two individuals are capable of reproducing (sexual reproduction).

The other images are jokes and historical events, so no comment on those.



The Hispanic category actually upsets the apple cart, as it is not a "race," but is defined as a collection of about 800 some surnames.  Hispanics generally are mixed European and native american, but this varies wildly - all the way from pure native american to 50-75% spanish heritage.

I can't recall offhand studies of various North American Indians and IQ, but they would not be the same as the measurements of Mexican Indian tribes.  Probably.  Who knows.

Hmm... We were not comparing gun deaths but violent crime rates. And they were much higher in the USA than in European countries where strict gun control is applied.

Like how Violent Crime increased in the UK as a direct result of banning guns?

How do you explain this one?

http://www.gunfacts.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/GUNS-IN-OTHER-COUNTRIES-U.K.-Violent-Crime-and-Firearm-Ownership-Rates-Before-and-After-1997.png
That's easy to explain: the police changed the counting method.


I am so glad that we are counting less now.  Maybe we could change the rules again, and lower the counts even further?  It would be so nice to live in a nice world where guns meant less crime.  Isn't this true, if we make it seem like it's true?
9088  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your opinion of gun control? on: February 03, 2016, 01:12:30 PM
Which make me come back to my original point.... Where is Michael Moore lying?

It seems he's perfectly right no?

And I'm seeing a HUGE problem with the fact that more or less anyone can sell firearms and bullets to more or less anybody Oo

What is the huge problem other than you knee jerk conditioning to associate guns with violence? Do you think that way every time you see a knife or do you think ham sandwich? Just because you have never had a ham sandwich doesn't make the knife only for violence.

I'm no longer arguing with you dude, you're just ignoring the parts of my speech that are troublesome for you.

Wanna know what I think is a problem? I think there is a huge correlation between gun freedom and the incredible high violent crimes rate of your country. And I see no really good point in gun liberty as you're not protected from anything, neither banks nor rapes. Again I brought to you stats making those points.


You were never debating me, you were just stringing together a bunch of logical fallacies and opinions. You are just mad because I dissected each and every one of them and proved how full of shit you are using the science of language - logic. You should learn it.

Who the fuck are you some cheese munching Frenchman thousands of miles away in his own personal French Caliphate to tell Americans that they get no protection from guns just because you object to them? BTW the premise behind "your stats" was flawed, and I explained in detail why in previous posts even if you are too willfully ignorant to read it.


Damn how can I be more precise than that...
My claim was that gun control helps to prevent violent crimes and that gun freedom doesn't help to fight crimes.
My evidence is that 28/28 EU nation have less violent crimes than USA, and the vast majority (26/28) have less rapes.
Show me the "logical fallacy" here. And I'm trying to debate with you but you don't give a fuck about my arguments and don't explain yours. I'm still waiting for your evidence that USA is "incredibly has more diversity than EU".

Who am I? Well, I don't know, maybe just a Bitcointalk user who came on a thread called "what's your OPINION on gun control" and who decided to share his OPINION on gun control and is supporting his claim with statistical proofs that EU countries are less violents than USA and BELIEVE it's linked to gun control.

You want an absolute proof? That's impossible! The only way to actually prove it would be to instaure gun control in half of the USA and to see if it changes anything...
You're correct in one small part, the OP is asking for opinions.  But the only way to actually prove this out would be to make guns reasonably available to Europe and see if it changes anything...

We all know now that the 7/11 attacks were conjured up by Israel and the US and they needed a reason to get into Afghanistan and other Muslim countries. Because this news was spread throughout the world in seconds ppl believed it and it became stuck in their hearts.

My friend, the 7/11 conspiracy goes much deeper than you could imagine. If you read further and continue thinking for yourself, you will learn that Afhanistan and other Muslim countries were actually not invaded by Israel and the US as blowback for 7/11. All the news coverage about such invasions over the past 15 years have been transparent lies. In fact, Afghanistan and other Muslim countries conjured up such false flag invasions as a reason to send millions of "refugees" to Western lands. Why? Like all Muslims, the motives are of absolute purity: to finally bring peace to the Western lands -- the kind of peace that can only come from the acceptance of Islam. As has been known from the time of prophet Mohammed, true peace can only come when everyone proclaims the truth of Islam, and that those who deny this truth are silenced through the sword.

Thanks for speaking out and helping dispell the myths about 7/11. Major Bloomberg tried to keep this information quiet by restricted the size of Slurpees, but thanks to people like you, truth will escape.

So if a person is not Muslim, then that person is not a peaceful person?
Peace cannot exist without Islam?
Accept true peace through Islam or be silenced by the sword?!

Oh My God...

Well, think about where all this leads - if you believe that you cannot dispute the "facts" you are told, and you cannot dare to think for yourself.

The Evil Jews and the Great Satan did 9/11!  Those horrible, horrible people.  We must fight such Evil!  Terrorist attackers are heroes!  We must support Hezbollah, Al Queda, Hamas, and ISIS!  We are going to Heavan!  We must fight the Infidels!

That's where it leads.  It leads to a justification of terror attacks.  Propaganda is used to bend populations in directions useful for the warmongers.  And they are using it on Muslims every day, across the world.

I'm a libertarian and not a socialist, but Bernie seems to be a wise and honest man. I don't see any changes for him to replace Hillary.
It's a shame that money makes presidents in the US.

Only to the extent that the vote is close.  In such cases the Democrats use fraud to edge the count over in their direction. 

As have just happened in Iowa.

Quote
Hillary and her mouthpieces have kept pushing the line that none of this information was “marked” classified when it appeared in her personal emails

Quote
The official, who was not authorized to speak on the record and was limited in discussing the contents because of their highly classified nature, was referring to the 22 “TOP SECRET” emails that the State Department announced Friday it could not release in any form, even with entire sections redacted.

Quote
Today FoxNews has reported that those twenty-two Top Secret emails included “operational intelligence” that involves espionage sources and methods, adding that lives have been put at risk by Hillary’s mishandling of this information.

Quote
At a minimum, valuable covers have been blown, careers have been ruined, and lives have been put at serious risk.

Quote
The total now stands at over 1580 Clinton emails containing classified information

Quote
And what about those 30,000 emails that Ms. Clinton had deleted? “I’ll spend the rest of my career trying to figure out what classified information was in those,” stated an exasperated Pentagon counterintelligence official, “everybody is mad as hell right now.” “The worst part,” the counterspy added,” is that Moscow and Beijing have that information but the Intelligence Community maybe never will.”

Should she go to prison?  Maybe not.  Maybe she could cut a deal.  Or maybe cut a deal for some easy time, you know. 

So who could she rat on?  Might have some interesting things to tell us about what runs what, behind the scenes.

If I were you I'd be right at the Canadian border on election night ready to run across if he wins. The borders will be closed before the night is out. Make sure your papers are in order.
The border will be closed in anticipation of illegal Mexicans, having prospered from a move North, figguring on moving Norther.
