The internet fears a newer, more terrible forced token racial-diversity oriented Jar Jar Binks type chracter. Mainstream media erupts in a cacaphony over whether the reaction alone is racist.

Plot unknown, faggotry reigns supreme.

This. At the beginning of episode IV Luke and apparently his friends were considering going to an Imperial Academy to become pilots.

Stormtroopers are different heights, have different voices, etc. Some of them may be clones, but it seems that the clones were phased out over a few decades.

I'm just a Muslim man, mayne. The Quran says that divisions among people are bad.

You first said the Koran with certainty, then you are going off into some ancient he said she said bullshit that I personally don't believe. You have your mind made up already so anything I say will come off as bullshit to you so I'll just wrap it up here.
the content is really dull and I feel you are twisting it to fit your world view. I bet you don't even know how Hadith works or which ones are considered "authentic". If it just begins with "a companion said" without giving a name of that person or the other person who heard and recorded it most Sunnis don't even recognize it.
I guess everyone had different beliefs, but you don't need all of that bullshit when you know it all, right?

And if Zoroaster existed before Persia was Persia what were the people called? Definitely not Arabs, that's for fucking sure, but I bet we all look alike to you.

Either way, it's always fun to have white people try and educate me on how backwards we are, it's been real, I still love you Angus.

So if you are just Muslim and don't care much about the Hadiths (which both Sunni and Shia do) then you'd be like a nondenominational Christian. One who just goes "yeah Jesus man, crosses n shit, get saved son". Hah.

You would maybe like Sufism if you want to get serious about your practice. Maybe.

I do have this to say. Sunni and Shia are the loudest and largest Muslim groups. They speak for most Muslims, aside from ones such as yourself which, you are really just casuals.

>which ones are considered "authentic".

The one which explains the Aisha thing in greater detail is considered completely authentic, only second to the Koran in authenticity. Both Sunni and Shia agree on this, which is a further testament of authenticity. They disagree on conclusions from these Hadiths though.

>And if Zoroaster existed before Persia was Persia what were the people called?

There was no single The People. Some were Babylonian, Canaanite, even earlier civilizations than those. Later Sumeria is a candidate. There were many, many people and cultures touched by Zoroaster and in Iran is where it probably held on the longest, as it suffered much destruction in the Middle Ages due to the spread of Islam primarily. Islam ended Zoroastrianism being the National religion of Iran long ago, it is now only a minority.

AHHHH NGE philosophy don't they make a ton of wacky youtube videos on the illuminati and black egyptians building the pyramids with their now oppressed mindpowers?

Or am I confusing the Five-Percent Nation with someone else?

According to scholars, including Michael Muhammad Knight who has authored the books The Five Percenters and Why I Am a Five Percenter, the Five-Percent Nation is founded and rooted within race equality ideology. As Knight also explained in an essay for Vice, "The first lesson I learned from the Five Percent was simple: Fuck white people. Seriously, 'White people are devils.'"[25] He was quoted in the post as saying, "Whiteness is weak and wicked and inferior — basically just an errant child who needs to be corrected."

^ Don't tell me you buy into that shit. I mean really you want to talk racism and persecution at me, look no further than the mirror, check yourself before you wreck yourself and as Jesus said remove the log within your own eye before grasping the splinter in your brother's.

>What if I were to tell you Iranians or Persians as they were once known are the most genetically pure Indo-European people and "white" is a shitty social construct stemming from colonialism.

Indo-European contradicts the whole 'genetically pure' thing. Either you are European or you're sort of European or you aren't. Genetic purity is in itself farcical, as it always boils down to a combined lineage of parentage and purity is only useful when ascertaining descendant from a specific paternal line (example; why Sunni are obsessed with Mohammad's bloodline because muh Mahdi, pls refer to recent hitching of Raghad Hussein's granddaughter recently for what will most certainly be a future trail of blood and bullshit).

Wasn't there a time when the Irish weren't technically considered "white"?
I definitely wouldn't call my self a %5er but that isn't the pseudo-egyptian shit, that is something else but I think it is funny and interesting. There is also a form of Christianity from a little further south that says Jesus already came back as a slave in Florida who escaped and preached gospel while helping other slaves escape and rebel before being executed by white people. There was also an Elian Gonzalez cult for a while. People can be nutty.
I don't hate white people, I'm half white and use my mom's last name to get jobs easier. Honestly I believe in God and Islam is the closest to my personal experiences as I can find in religion, so it's easier to just say I'm Muslim rather than get into a big discussion about the semantics of beliefs. Most people just want to live their lives to the best capacity no matter what race they are. Most of my friends are a bunch of candle worshiping Catholics. You opened the pandoras box of racism with the whole Pakis aren't "actual" Asians thing. You can't have your cake and eat it too, stop crying. This is a thread about the UK banning porn, why the fuck are we having this conversation here.

Extremist Israeli Rabbi Dov Lior's Controversial Calls for Destruction of Gaza by Angus Cremmlewill - Sun, 30 Nov 2014 20:18:36 EST ID:07HBIn0t No.128364 Ignore Report Reply Quick Reply

"An Israeli right-wing rabbi has legitimised the destruction of Gaza "so that the south [of Israel] should no longer suffer".

Dov Lior, a Zionist religious leader and chief rabbi of the West Bank's illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba, wrote in a religious ruling that according to the Torah Jews in the time of warfare may use "deterrent measures to exterminate the enemy".

The attacked nation "is permitted to punish the enemy population with whatever measures it deems proper, like blocking supplies or electricity," Lior wrote, according to Haaretz. "It may bomb the entire area based on the judgment of the war minister and not wantonly put soldiers at risk."

"The defence minister may even order the destruction of Gaza so that the south should no longer suffer, and to prevent harm to members of our people who have long been suffering from the enemies surrounding us," he wrote.

The old rabbi is not new to similar controversy. In June 2011, he was arrested by Israeli police on suspicion of inciting violence for endorsing a religious book, the King's Torah, which justifies Jews' killings of non-Jews including babies.

He stated in September 2011 that Arabs are "evil camel riders" . On one occasion, he stated that Jewish women should not use sperm donated by a non-jewish man as "Gentile sperm leads to barbaric offspring".

Two years ago, Lior compared US president Barack Obama to Haman, an enemy of the Jewish people in the Book of Esther and labelled him a "kushi" of the West - a derogatory term used to describe people of African descent.

The rabbi branded the Europeans as "Nazi collaborators" and called for a rise in West Bank's illegal settlements "to eradicate the jungle".

Are police not supposed to be held to a higher standard of conduct than the average citizen, when on duty at least?

Not once in my post, nor ever, did I indict all cops, nor classify them all in one way or another. It's just that they're (supposedly) a regulated agency of the state. So any problems, say a lack of proper training in stressful situations or a corrupt and unfair justice system, can be addressed by changing policy. The problems that lead to high crime in poor and poor minority neighborhoods are much bigger and the solutions are much more complex. So, we can go on and on slinging mud and race baiting, or we can talk about how to make police more responsible stewards of the public trust and at least minimize the parts they play in these incidents.

By Boer Deng and Dahlia Lithwick

"Just before he surrendered himself to the county police for killing his in-laws, Scott Panetti dressed himself in a business suit. His head was shaved, with patches of hair still clinging to the spots he had missed. Sgt. Ranahan Iron Horse—an auditory hallucination—had made him do it. Panetti later called Sarge to testify to that effect at his 1995 trial, at which he represented himself.

>Panetti, whose schizophrenia has been documented for 30 years, cannot distinguish fact from delusion. On Dec. 3, Texas plans to execute him. He believes he is being put to death because the state of Texas, in cahoots with the devil, wants to prevent him from preaching the Gospel.

Opposition to executing the insane dates back centuries. As the English jurist Sir Edward Coke wrote in 1680: “When a mad man is executed,” it is “against Law and of extream inhumanity … and can be no example to others.”

Or as Justice Thurgood Marshall wrote centuries later in Ford v. Wainwright:

[T]his Court is compelled to conclude that the Eighth Amendment prohibits a State from carrying out a sentence of death upon a prisoner who is insane. Whether its aim be to protect the condemned from fear and pain without comfort of understanding, or to protect the dignity of society itself from the barbarity of exacting mindless vengeance, the restriction finds enforcement in the Eighth Amendment.

At every turn, it seems that some system failed Panetti, whether it was the mental health system, the courts, the prison system, or the political branches. It is almost incomprehensible that Texas is about to go through with the execution, but the failures, feints, technicalities, and errors chronicled below have created a situation in which a man with three decades of profound mental illness will be sent to the death chamber.

Honestly?

Maybe. In the heat of the moment.

But thinking about it calmly?

Absolutely fucking not. Of course not. He's mentally ill. I'd be angrier at the failure of the health services to keep this hypothetical person from becoming a danger to society.

Blaming a mentally ill person for their actions because it satisfies your emotional need to punish someone is nothing more than sadism. It's a disgusting way to think.

> North Korea has issued a cryptic response after being questioned about whether it is responsible for a cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment, telling the BBC to simply “wait and see.”

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/12/03/business/media/sony-is-again-target-of-hackers.html

> On Pastebin, hackers released on Monday evening what they said were “tens of terabytes” worth of internal Sony data. The post — titled “Gift of G.O.P.” — included links to various archives that appeared to contain Sony employees’ passwords, Social Security numbers, salaries and performance reviews. (The password to open many of the files was “diespe123” (presumably an abridgment of “Die Sony Pictures Entertainment”). The studio has offered to enroll employees in a fraud protection program.

> On Nov. 24, just as Sony employees were settling into their work day, the hacking group took over many of the studio’s internal systems. Some screens included images of a menacing red skeleton with the warning, “If you don’t obey us, we’ll release data shown below to the world.”

> Why Sony? Although the studio is exploring multiple explanations, one theory involves North Korea. This Christmas, Sony plans to release “The Interview,” an R-rated comedy about two American journalists who are recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency to kill Mr. Kim. A spokesman for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry called the film — apparently after seeing a trailer — “the most undisguised terrorism and a war action.” The spokesman added that the film would invite “a strong and merciless countermeasure.”

I don't doubt Sony was hacked, I just doubt NK was behind it. Sony has been hacked before, and Sony have done a lot to earn the ire of a lot of different people.

even if they could which i doubt why would they announce it
its not like any other country does
if youre not a major power you want to appear strong but not so strong youre a threat to the rest of the world (though to their respective leaders that is the ultimate goal)

the element of surprise is not to be underestimated
certain technologies are not easy to hide and testing for one means testing for all


Chris Rock on racism: ‘White people were crazy — now they’re not as crazy’ by Priscilla Masslepedge - Mon, 01 Dec 2014 16:03:30 EST ID:HmLiC83m No.128390 Ignore Report Reply Quick Reply

>Rock, who is promoting his upcoming film, Top Five, told New Yorker columnist Frank Rich that he would love to cover the Ferguson protests as a journalist – but he would use a white reporter as a stand-in to ask only white people racially charged questions.

>“Just white people,” Rock said. “We know how black people feel about Ferguson – outraged, upset, cheated by the system, all these things. Michael Moore has no problem getting (outrageous statements) because he looks like them, but the problem is the press accepts racism. It has never dug into it.”

>“To say Obama is progress is saying that he’s the first black person that is qualified to be president,” Rock said. “That’s not black progress — that’s white progress. There’s been black people qualified to be president for hundreds of years.”

>“You know, my kids are smart, educated, beautiful, polite children,” Rock said. “There have been smart, educated, beautiful, polite black children for hundreds of years. The advantage that my children have is that my children are encountering the nicest white people that America has ever produced. Let’s hope America keeps producing nicer white people.”

>“Yeah, it’s unfair that you can get judged by something you didn’t do, but it’s also unfair that you can inherit money that you didn’t work for,” he said.

It's actually very profound and I'm disapointed most people don't seem to understand his point.

His point is equal right and racism and progress are defined from a white mans perspective.

It shouldn't even need to be a topic. A couple centuries ago we were brutally enslaving minorities and now we're not doing so as explicitly and callously as we were before. Better but I mean - still no there ya know?

w.e idc really I feel like shit's beyond that. i'm white but I was born in latin america and grew up in poverty and my colour of my skin determined only the nature of my nick names. that's as far as it went. at the end of the day in that neighborhood among my peers we were poor and were facing the same struggles and it wasn't about black and white and brown but about those who had and those who had not.

well yeah, i agree with you, in a capitalistic society and thinking about it through a capitalistic perspective, but it's a good point to illustrate why in my opinion capitalism is largely flawed.

i definitely agree that people should be able to provide for future generations through their work but thats not always necessarily the case. just because you dont have millions or billions of dollars racked up doesn't mean you didn't put in an uncountable number of hours of work for future generations.

Working to ensure a better future for our children? Admirable.

Working to ensure a better future just for YOUR children? That's fucked up. We should celebrate true altruism.

>it wasn't about black and white and brown but about those who had and those who had not.

That's the ultimate point that people miss in these discussions. It's class, rich vs poor, not black vs brown vs white. While the latter may be a part of the equation, it's not the whole thing. Solving the larger, underlying class issues would serve to lessen or negate the racial components to a large degree. Making those issues more a matter of education than radical solutions.

i think the entire argument is moot because as most will agree the system is skewed and does not in fact reward hard work and innovation unless you work hard and innovate ways to exploit others

if that was legitimately and fairly earned (and no that does not simply mean through legal means) then yeah at least some portion should be passed down

however even still that money should be taxed progressively to ensure that the descendants are actually benefiting society in some way if they want to retain extreme wealth (thats why the rich are rich right? engines of the economy and all that).....because anything else is a detriment to EVERYONE else

lets face it sometimes even in a completely fair system some people will draw the short end of the genetic stick and its not at all beneficial to have some half retarded sociopath with enough funding to destabilize entire nations

concentration is the very thing that needs to be avoided
its like blood do you want all your blood to concentrate all in one place?
or do you want it to cycle freely throughout your entire body providing you with all that sweet sweet oxygen?
the choice is yours but one of them involves brain damage and then death

Man, if the world doesnt collapse on itself this generation, next generation is gonna get to live out all my space exploration fantasies. Lame. Here's hoping some alien race or at the very least humans themselves bestow us with the technology to enhance our vitality and lifespan tenfold so I can at least hope to live out my Han Solo/Star-Lord comic book dreams.
