ZoeZoeBee··on Elite colleges are making it easy for conservatives to dislike them
So short of not believing in a two state solution, with historical relevancy to back his belief, you've got nothing?

>I will never vote for Donald Trump because I stand with certain principles. I stand with small government and free markets and religious freedom and personal responsibility. Donald Trump stands against all of these things. He stands for Planned Parenthood and trade restrictions and targeting of political enemies and an anti-morality foreign policy and government domination of religion and nastiness toward women and tacit appeals to racism and unbounded personal power. I stand with the Constitution of theUnited States, and its embedded protection of my God-given rights through governmental checks and balances. Donald Trump does not. I stand with conservatism. Donald Trump stands against it. I stand with #NeverTrump. ---Ben Shapiro

FYI Scientific evidence does not support your belief on the side of nature vs nurture

I'd imagine he's discussing the endowments of said universities, which are earning billions of dollars a year

Curious which views of Shapiro's do you believe are extreme? Are you a person who believes gender is merely a social construct whereby the genetics of a person hold no bearing on their attributes?

Deportations took a dramatic downfall in his second term and most of the "deportations" took place at the border, not in the way you think they did https://www.ice.gov/removal-statistics/2016

Always love the reflexive downvoting on the site, when facts don't match your view of reality

ZoeZoeBee··on Facebook to Show Users Which Russian Propaganda They Followed
The disappointing part, despite saying

>“It is important that people understand how foreign actors tried to sow division and mistrust using Facebook before and after the 2016 US election,”

Facebook is not planning on showing the actual content of those pages, leaving it up to Congress to decide whether or not to show the content

ZoeZoeBee··on How many colours were there in a medieval rainbow?
I'm sorry but the "Indigo" GameCube is much closer to a strict definition of purple than it is darker blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameCube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple
ZoeZoeBee··on How many colours were there in a medieval rainbow?
Nintendo may have called the purple version of the Gamecube Indigo, but Indigo is a dark blue dye derived from a plant, unless you think your blue jeans match your GameCube

This picture from an article in 2015 on the site, https://www.instapainting.com/blog/company/2015/10/28/how-to... exemplifies the robotic like assembly line of some of these paintings.
ZoeZoeBee··on Appalachian miners reject retraining because they think coal will make comeback
Except that has nothing to do with why they voted as they did going back to before the 20th century as rural America has never been about today's Democratic ideals. The Miners and their Unions have been supportive of Democrats since before FDR.

Edit could the downvoter parked here show their face, literally five seconds after posting and you're downvoting have to assume you've gone down the thread downvoting everything, so just say hi

ZoeZoeBee··on Appalachian miners reject retraining because they think coal will make comeback
However you do realize that sanctuary cities, abortion, second amendment rights or any other wedge issue those in Appalachia did not stand with the Democratic party on and voted for their own interests when it came to employment

edit @CalChris Because your reading comprehension is not the best. They voted for their own economic interests by voting Democratic. You do realize in 2008 both of WVs Senators were Dems and so was their governor. Since the Depression the vast majority of West Virginia's Senate seats have been filled by Dems

ZoeZoeBee··on Appalachian miners reject retraining because they think coal will make comeback
>I'd try to consider it from their perspective, but I get confused by the part where they vote overwhelmingly Republican to protect their union jobs and government subsidies.

Ok, read the parent. Appalachian Miners do not vote overwhelmingly Republican to protect their union jobs and government subsidies. For the longest time they voted Democratic to Protect their Union Jobs and Government subsides until their jobs were no longer there.

Their jobs aren't coming back, that's a given, and the reaction to that was to stop voting for the people they thought would protect their way of living, only to see a shift over the last decade where their voice was completely drowned out in the Democratic party

ZoeZoeBee··on Appalachian miners reject retraining because they think coal will make comeback
Yep at the moment they do, and they will continue to, but that has nothing to do with the fact that historically those in the industry voted Democratic not Republican.

The lack of reality among some around here does amaze me

ZoeZoeBee··on Appalachian miners reject retraining because they think coal will make comeback
Perhaps you get confused about the long history of Appalachian Coal Miners voting solidly Democratic, 100 years of such, only to see their votes taken for granted and their livelihood disappear.

West Virginia, despite being as far from Cosmopolitan as you can get has been a Democratic stronghold until the last election cycle

ZoeZoeBee··on Company gives non-smokers six days holiday to compensate for cigarette breaks
>Twenty rats in each exposure group were exposed to the smoke seven hours a day for 21 days. The method of exposure was ‘‘head only’’, meaning that the rats were placed head first in snug fitting plastic tubes with a screened head portion that projected into a duct through which the smoky air flowed.

Try the same with car exhaust and see how it goes

ZoeZoeBee··on Angular 5.0.0
Hasn't been the case for months
ZoeZoeBee··on Angular 5.0.0
Interesting considering Angular 3 was never in existence, they switched to Semver specifically avoiding vs 3 because of the move to an rxjs based router.
ZoeZoeBee··on Dead People Mysteriously Support the FCC's Attack on Net Neutrality
Because we live in a Federated Republic of States not a direct Democracy, and the nation you decide to live in was explicitly set up to be governed in a way where a few large states (Virginia at that time) did not have a stranglehold on power over the rest.

>Muck like its peers, though, Facebook plans to stress to U.S. lawmakers that the activity represents only a fraction of what happens daily on its site. Russian-generated disinformation during the election amounted to four-thousandths (0.004) of one percent of content in the News Feed, according to a source familiar with the company’s findings.
ZoeZoeBee··on ESPN Can’t Afford Monday Night Football Any More
Here we have a glaring example of the issue. You use feelings instead of data to make your point, the problem is your anecdotal assertions are not backed up by reality. 90% of those killed by police were armed.

So far this year 15 African Americans have been killed while unarmed to 21 White Americans and the numbers are similar for the previous years where data is available

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shoo...

[ Edited Below Rate Limited Reply ]

It is about Ratios WillyOnWheels except police aren't killing a bunch of people for no apparent reason, so ratios will never be one to one based on racial data alone.

More than 90% of police homicide victims were armed, the vast majority of them were during the commission of a crime.

Do we want to go over violent crime stats and how that relates to the likelihood you will be killed by police.

It is your half-assed attempt to apply normative statistics to a non-normative issue that shines a light upon your ignorance and all who parrot the same statement without ever delving into the data

Of course the numbers are irrefutable, so down vote away

ZoeZoeBee··on ESPN Can’t Afford Monday Night Football Any More
It might have something to do with the fact that only 6% of Police Shootings involved an unarmed individual, and every year more white people are killed by police than African Americans. People would be more empathetic to the players supposed grievance if statistics backed them up

Umm no. NFL took in 15 Billion in 2015, 2/3 of the revenue came from TV, new stadiums over the last 20 years have totaled only $15 Billion of which almost half was financed by tax payers[0].

NFL will not weather well a continued hit to ratings, which were down 8% last year and dropping again this year

>If Google, Facebook et al wanted to make amends for biasing the election.

Since when has Google wanted to make amends for biasing the election? Aren't we quick to forget Eric Schmidt was all in on attempting to bias the election in the direction he wanted. Timshel/THE GROUNDWORK are and were nothing more than tools for the DNC to manipulate the electorate

ZoeZoeBee··on The Looming Decline of the Public Research University
I'm not certain which small colleges you are describing, but nationwide small colleges are getting hammered and will continue to do so based on demographic trends.

ZoeZoeBee··on Houston homeowners unaware that reservoir neighbourhoods are designed to flood
(May 31, 2016) The trouble with living in a swamp: Houston floods explained

>The worst rain the city remembered fell in 1929, and a worse one struck in 1935. Buffalo Bayou rose up to the second story in parts of downtown. Buildings collapsed. Swaths of city were destroyed.

>Talbott has a simple solution: allocate $26 billion, more than a fifth of the state's 2015 budget, mostly to buy property adjacent to the waterways, bulldoze and expand the canals. That amount of money, he said, could get all of Houston prepared to weather a city-wide, once-in-a-century storm.
