I also forgot that it doesnt take into account if the person has several transgressions when is given jail time. I mean, its not all the time that you go to court just for one thing. Someone that is in court for battery might have multiple accounts of it and some other crimes mixed in. 1s 2nd and 3rd degree felonies included loads of different stuff.

The data is pretty bad. too simplistic, too generalistic.

I mean for example:


If you make this about race only. what kind of racist is this?
hates blacks on drug possesion and 2nd degree felony but not ones that drive w/o license...? In fact, driving without license she hates only whites?
I also dont know how they arrive to numbers of days, do they just sum them or they average? actually mousing over says number of charges, but not number of people, lacking.

It might not be a matter of hate, but bias. You can be biased against black people when it comes to drug crimes (giving them longer sentences), and be biased against white people when it comes to other kind of crimes.

It might not even be conscious. Say that a judge can give the sentence between 1 to 5 years of prison for a certain crime, He or she might not even realize that most of the time when it comes to black people his/her sentence is closer to five, while with white people is closer to one.

The thing is, stereotypes could be very well influencing how harsh the law can be to you. You talked about white people having longer sentences when it comes to driving without license, I don't think that is right either. No matter if you are black or white, that shouldn't affect how long you should stay in jail for a crime.

When I talk about this stuff I don't do it for people to look for someone to blame or punish, I think the best way to solve this kind of thing is to talk about ways to better the system in a way that is harder for this to happen.

I have a similar stance on quotas, I'm not all in favor for it, but I think that if someone put them in place they were probably trying to fix something. Say that the reason they put quotas is because black people end up studying in schools of lesser quality, if you fix that then nobody will be needing quotas. Let's say that because of cultural issues black people are less likely to go to the college, I think that the government can fix that too if they try it. Some believe that the US is a world leader, if it is so great, then it must be easy to give equal opportunity to every US-born citizen.

I like capitalism, but I think that it's important for everyone to have proper education so they can have at least a chance of succeeding on it.

That seems like a nice dude...

Seriously tho, do you guys really think that that dude is better than a feminazi?

At least feminazis pull their titties out.

depends, are you talking about the feminazi that call themselves feminist or talking about the feminists that are called feminazi (extremist vs egalitarian)?


Regardless, the guy is a retard.

I'm talking about the ones that scream at people(I have no problem with feminists), they pull their titties out too right?

About the guy, yeah I think so too, but I think he is also drunk(that doesn't make him less retard, just less restrained).

Drunk is the first think that came to my mind but I don't think you can get that angry and pumped and still feel drunk.

There is no egalitarianism in the feminist movement anymore.

Are feminists fighting against biased (anti-men) family courts, or are they part of those courts? Are feminists fighting for the rights of all those homeless men in the streets? Are feminists fighting for equal standards in military / police, or are they fighting to lower the standards, so that weaker females can get in? Where are the feminists fighting for more male teachers in education or daycare?

Stop perpetuating the lie that modern feminism has anything to do with equality. It doesn't, its all about female privilege. 3rd wave feminism is all extremist, even tho not all of them show boobs (thanks God!).

I see plenty of feminists that are still egalitarians. Maybe it's a Canada thing though...

I haven't seen any of them trying to lower the standards for army/police/firefighting, they have to do the exact same work as a man and they are fine with that.

Yes, family court has a real bias against men and it's an issue that will need to be tackled. Just like the false accusations of rape that can destroy someone's life (which is actually starting to get called out over here).
