    Could that back fire? There are cases where humans judge taking no action because it avoids costs as inherently better than taking action to bring in profit even when others in gen…

    Is there any similar writeups of the fishing glitch where you get the fisherman to sit on the tree and then go fishing? That's one of the two I found as a kid. The other gave me so…

    Being on a jury gave me the opposite experience. The guy who slept through parts of the trial was given as equal a say as those who stayed awake and the topic of them sleeping was …

    The problem? Because those actions are discrimination. Using discrimination to fight discrimination largely targets the under privileged members of the privileged groups. It's basi…

    The second half of your last sentence is the key to the issue, IMO. People calling things racist, and yet those who agree with the things being called racist seeing those name call…

    So the Best Buy employees were in possession of child abuse material and even used it to make profit? Sounds like they should be charged for abusing children. Merely viewing it or …

    Or they thought she was guaranteed to win and wanted to have this mattered handled much quietly once the election was over.

    I bet Trump supporters are happy nothing bad about Trump was leaked and no foreign news networks ran ant hit pieces on Trump. He probably would have lost if that had happen. /s Bes…

    During my time in college I took multiple ethics and related classes and in my opinion they aren't worth the paper I printed class assignments on. None of these answer practical is…

    The problem is finding which point was wrong. What behavior was done here that should be discouraged or banned by society? People don't like the outcome, but where should the gover…

    Because you want people to pay for something they don't see any benefit for. It's like trying to get a company to invest in better security, except harder because there is little i…

    Yeah, such a better system. Even set up a bit coin address where they have to pay about $25 to get in to prove intent (along with visiting the site and then logging in).

    And how many charged with child molestation will have the police raid their homes and check their computers? How many will end up only being charged with child porn to spare the ac…

    Yes, what about that. The only way the FBI is justified is if we ignore that. And if we are choosing to ignore it to justify the FBI's actions then why not do it here for the great…

    I don't buy it for a second. Instead, I think that those who use but don't physically touch an actual child are so unlikely to get caught, the numbers are horribly biased. To give …

    I have to disagree with the list. How we discriminate can't be put in a list because it is different for different issues. For one example, consider that the legal system discrimin…

    They may also get better at hiding their bias. May not even be conscious but as a side effect of blatant bias being called out while hidden bias is not. It would also be harder to …

    Even 'just the facts' Is broken because one cannot tell if all facts were given or if only certain facts were given designed to create some view. For example, given two studies tha…

    As does Hillary. Well maybe not all of those, but she clearly incites sexism.

    1. Men are more likely to end up in prison in the US. By a really large amount. That seems to be a very misleading way of reporting statistics that is sexist. 2. One sexist system …

    So when Hillary wants to help women, who already get vastly lower prison sentences than men, get even lower prison sentences... what do we call that? The people who support diversi…

    I know a Hispanic girl who says all lives matter. She is fed up with how the common narative is that only Blacks are people of color. Is she ignorant? And before someone says I'm s…

    So by Marcos own logic does anyone who support Hillary support slut shaming 12 year old girls who have been raped?
