It's actually more like all poor males between the ages of 14-24. The vast majority of crime is committed by poor male youth regardless of race.

Bones - I read it correctly. Just added an element to the equation.

eg: Those with Williams Syndrome are more prone to being raped as stated.

Therefore, those with Williams Syndrome AND a proclivity towards rape/murder/robbery, etc. now have a legal reason to argue that they should be forgiven for their crimes.

They just need some way to identify the target-rich environment on which to prey.

"It wasn't my fault. I'm genetically flawed."

On the flip side, perhaps requesting a brain scan of a potential date will reveal their sexual/racial/gender tendencies as it pertains to "ease of access." A National Database should be in the works soon.

Millions will be spent researching this. Hurrah!

There's still no legal defense against assaulting/raping someone here. Whether or not you discriminated against a person you attack doesn't make a difference, unless you're trying to say that William's syndrome should be classified as a mental disorder and a would-be rapist use it as part of an insanity defense. You should know that those who take the guilty by reason of insanity route rarely win whether or not they do have mental problems, our justice system currently likes to just warehouse those with mental problems right in with "normal" criminals because mental asylums have largely been deinstitutionalized and there are no where else to put baddies, crazy or not.

They coincide with server resets. And since they're changing the buyin structure either Tues or Weds my guess is they chose to do the change tomorrow morning and are running turbos to make sure all the tournaments are done by then.

Hate crimes carry a much heavier sentence in most states than does normal crime as they are considered a Federal offense.

And yes, they are going to try to classify this "genetic anomaly" as a mental disorder in order to avoid the death penalty or get a lighter sentence.

If Williams Syndrome sufferers cannot discriminate between race, then it opens up a whole new hunting ground for lawyers. I would expect that studies identifying kids of a very young age being incapable of correctly identifying political alignment of subjects or the subject's current medical condition to be forthcoming.

Brain scans ftw.

yea this is why i asked lol


and checking mttc - it looks like the last normal update was the first tuesday of the month. gonna try and not miss the may turbo night.

anyone know details/speculation on ftp turbo night?
04-12-2010 , 10:44 PM
I think stars had turbo night last Tuesday.(edit: oops just reread ur post)

I think stars might update every other Tuesday? or is it monthly?

It would be nice if there was a way we could find out before the day.

The link I posted suggests they are much more likely to be victims of violent crimes. I don't even understand why it would occur to you to add that element.

Bones - Just trying to point out how ludicrous the study was. Nth degree of the original purpose of the exercise imo.

I doubt that there has ever been a psych study done anywhere that didn't benefit the worst of society in the eyes of the law.

Unrelated:

him: Because...I can't tell you...but I'll buy you something.
me: Ok fine but srsly wtf can't you tell me?
him: Ok ok ok you know Tracy Jordan's meat machine on 30 rock? Well go google kfc's double down



Suck it Jamie Oliver

That's so gross but I want it.

Sadly, no Double Downs in Canada.
04-13-2010 , 12:38 AM
I had a double down earlier. It was pretty tasty. But in the OOT thread people seem to think they're just ok. My guess is it depends on how much you like chicken breast.
04-13-2010 , 12:45 AM
My god I need to try a double down right now.

lol @ Kvaughan... I bet I can guess who it was... does his name start with a D and rhyme with weasel?

...


Anybody have any tips for psychologically calming themselves down (i.e. remaining level headed) during a soul crushing DS? Any help is much appreciated

Yep, you go it. I figure I would spite call him on the bubble next time I get a chance to or slow-roll him back if possible, but I want something more soul crushing than that.

Don't look at HEM would be my advice. Every time I do it, it tilts me further.
04-13-2010 , 02:19 AM
That thing looks disgusting. No way I would eat a double chicken-n-cheese sandwich wrapped in bacon from KFC

It's funny you mention this... I hear this nearly every time I'm in a drive-through [from the car in front of me], and it is certainly tilting. I find it to be very rude...

It goes something like this:
"Yah. Ummm... I need a double cheeseburger with extra pickles. Gimme a large fry with that too..."

"Gimme?" Ugh. I hate that.

In a somewhat non-related note, lately I am really frustrated with the way the majority of idiots treat people in the service industry. I am not in the industry myself, however my roommate is, and I hear the stories day in and day out, of just pure azzholes out there. I don't understand where the manners went. Slobs.
04-13-2010 , 02:36 AM
I'm always quite polite but people who work in fast food are, on the whole, the dumbest ****ing people on the planet. I'd say 60% of the time my order is correct and I probably get the most basic thing possible. I can't even imagine the conversion rate for people who order more than one item or get condiments.

Not that it's an excuse to treat people poorly of course.
04-13-2010 , 02:57 AM
This is also true. I can handle a screw up, provided whoever effed it up is cool about it. I'm not about to lose my shiyat because someone forgot the cheese on my burger, but it can be frustrating.
I feel like that whole 'customer is always right' thing has devolved from a practical theory to run your business by, to a license for every bastard out there to act like a jerk. My roommate manages a pizza place, and it seems that he has a new story every week of someone calling with a delivery order and throwing a fit when he asks for a phone number.
