    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    Yes I did, and I'm wondering if you did. The article outright admitted that the stats showed that, per contact/arrest, whites get shot more than blacks (that is, the thing I claimed); the article I linked used that as a launching point to make a different claim. Using a point that contradicts...

    No. Just remember, though, he's the most watched news-anchor in the U.S. My ideas are downright commie compared to mainstream America, where the most popular news anchor reads the 14 words and promotes "Protocols of the Elders of Zion". This site has wondered recently why more conservatives...

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    I'm far from the first person to point out the deaths-per-contact rate is skewed heavily towards whites. Even leftist pro-BLM articles mention it: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/06/11/opinion/statistical-paradox-police-killings/ It's such a well-known fact, I'm surprised there's any debate...

    I didn't say per-person. I said in total and per-contact (that is, per arrest). A lot more black people get arrested per capita.

    If that were the case, we'd see the whites rising up and rioting across the nation. They get killed by cops at a higher rate, both in total and per-contact than blacks (that's right! Contrary to what your TV tells you, a white guy is significantly more likely to be killed by police when being...

    To love something is to hate and fear that which threatens it. "Operating from love rather than fear" isn't operating from love at all. It's operating from sentimentality.

    You're behind the times, the word "racist" lost its power in 2015. Besides, according to the left, every white is by definition racist anyways, so of course I am -- and so are most of the people participating in this thread, I'd guess.

    Then you're completely unfamiliar of what "black and white citizens coming together to demand justice and an end to systemic and brutal racism" looks like. Google "Reginald Denny". Or "Destruction of Koreatown". Or even watch what happened in Minneapolis recently. I mean, sure, most of our...

    I didn't say there were no black canadians, but being roughly 4% black is very different than being roughly 13% black. Y'all don't have the "once per decade, but becoming more common" racial riots that move in waves and destroy cities/beat random whites to death for being white/get in open...

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Canada is 73% white, and 45% of the rest is Asian. That is such a huge difference from what the U.S. has to deal with, where 13% of our population is demanding that the 60% group give all of their money to them and allow themselves to be raped and murdered...

    Personally, I'd like the police to be armed enough to deal with hostage or active shooter situations, but that's just me. Yeah, maybe all of that hippie shit works in a very homogeneous country where people share a culture and a history, but the U.S. isn't that. The way NY was cleaned up in...

    Given that just the appearance of weakness was enough to cause that much of a spike, I'm sure that actual weakness will work out wonderfully for them!

    It's only a recent development that open hot-wars between world powers have become rare. We're in a weird blip right now -- throughout most of history, you had to keep your military power ready to go, or your neighbors would be there to take your land and enslave you. A dip in American...

    Unpopular opinions on gear

    Philip McKnight said some negative stuff about the Chapman Ghost Fret that he reviewed. It was couched in "well... it's what you'd expect for a $400 guitar" kind of language, but he made it pretty clear that he wasn't impressed with it overall.

    You are aware that "former Soviet territory" extends well into Poland, right? The US used to spend on defense internationally for its own benefit. The USSR fell 30 years ago; at this point, the US funding the defense of countries in Europe and North Africa is mostly a case of "the divorce...

    They'll have to do something, that's for sure. I mean, Ukraine couldn't even protect their claims to Crimea with half-hearted support from NATO -- if the U.S. stops defending Europe entirely, how long do you think it takes for the T-14s to roll across Ukraine, Poland, and Finland? This would...

    Whether or not you benefit from the Trump tax policy is more dependent on where you live than how much you make. If you're in a state with high sales and property taxes, you benefit; if you're in a state with state income tax, you end up worse. The reason for this is that the old tax code...

    Chugging open power chords is actually one of the most useful things someone can do in a demo, IMO. Everything sounds the same when playing widdly widdly leads; big, held chords and palm-mutes are where you really hear what something sounds like.

    Do Mesa V30s mix with emi swamps/govnors???

    TBH, this is exactly why I like the V30 more than the Governor.

    Diezel VHX knows when its been profiled

    My guess is along these lines as well. Even if they're not planning on entering this market themselves, it's basically the best market research imaginable -- being able to find what sounds from the amp are the most desired has to be some kind of wet dream for an amplifier engineer.
