  1. So I am looking for a cheap pay as you go/ no contract cell phone plan, any recommendations? I'm also wondering if anyone has found any companies with more freedomainradio like values?
  2. outside of class time, i think would play a important part of class if neccicary. i mean, if someone is taking a literary class on a 1000 page novel, is it good use of class time to read the novel in class?
  3. sure my picture of homework is that it's guided study though rather that totally self directed study? it's not the student trying to pick the best method to learn, but taking guidance from a expert into a learning process.
  4. maybe there has to be a context to what the homework is if someone wants to become a journalist, i would think a homework assignment where a person does journalism would fit the goal of learning the craft of journalism?
  5. i mean for the topic to be about the dangers of running from police, or others whose job it is to detain or otherwise control a situation. police get more violent when people don't comply, but this is mainly a problem when they are being the aggressors. i think i would expect a person on the defending side to get more violent if a aggressor chose to resist the defence. sometimes cops are on the aggressive side, and sometimes they aren't. what were the rules of driving on that road, since where i am there are drivers licenses required for public roads, and not stopping for a red light would be considered a traffic violation of that drivers license? for our drivers license, its stop at red lights, and not stop at red lights unless there are no cars about to cross. with the information the cop had at the time, he could think you were the aggressor and he was the defender. now if there was a way to communicate circumstances, then maybe people are more clear, and the cop goes in front and goes to the scene as well and can change all the lights to green with you following him? it seems there could be situations where lack of information can cause perceptions that a cop is being a aggressor, when the cops perceives he is being a defender.
  6. so does the private security force no longer have the right to detain people that flee the property that the property owners pay the security force to protect? so say a police unit was reduced to the rights that people could delegate to the unit and those rights only. won't they still have to right to detain people that flee if there is some reasonable reason to try and detain the person that fled? just looking at, 99% of police encounters don't end with someone dying, or getting hurt, but the percentage goes up a lot when people flee from the police. would it be that the way to get away from crimes in a world where rights were just delegated would be simply to flee onto someone else s property? take all the arbitary edits out of the equation, and just looking at procedure to detain people, i think that would make it simply that there is a danger to try and resist detainment. after a detainment, people can then look at if rights were violated by the detainment, but i think detainment is something that can be within delegated rights.
  7. so how different would a private security officer be? is a private security officer taught to just let people get away with theft, murder, rape ( lets just say these are three things police are taught to chase people down for)?
  8. would state welfare also lower labor costs artificially ( at least for some)? i mean if people are getting paid 10$ an hour by their employee, and then getting 5$ an hour in welfare, hasn't the welfare just drove down how much the person would charge the employer for that persons labor? but then put in something like companies immigrating new people to drive up supply and drive labor costs down. that would make any countries immigration policy that does not allow a company to do that artificially raising labor costs. i think the state manipulates labor costs in both ways as political favors as for teens with and jobs, i think there are teens/families out there taking welfare instead of jobs. so is it that they can't get the jobs, or that they don't search for the jobs because of welfare factors?even in families where the family is middle class or above, is there a entitlement mentality that these teens are having that is putting them as better than having to search for or perform such jobs and thus go unemployed rather than have a job?
  9. wouldn't there always be interest in technology even without any laws on labor costs?
  10. i don't think it can be a one side ishue, people have to build trust and try and work on getting over fears. http://www.npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/2014/12/05/368545491/civil-rights-attorney-on-how-she-built-trust-with-police this interview talks about building trust
  11. so if the parents are abusing the child, and the child throws a tamtrum demanding not to be abused, after peacefully asking the parent to stop the abuse failed, should the parents give into the childs demands or keep on abusing the child?
  12. why would it not be involuntary/voluntary manslaughter to choke hold someone and kill them after the person has given up like the video of the death shows? say the cop thought self defence, does it seem reasonable that he needed to continue the hold for so long? did people think the man said "i can't breathe", yet continued to resist or be a threat?
  13. i'm not sure if that 10 rules completly answers it, with cases of people following those rules and still being victims of police. of course if someone is looking for 100% even in that video, there were police abusing their powers no matter how the person reacted.
  14. there are women that propose to men
  15. for this we could even look at the kkk and driving state jim crow laws and black codes. within that there is state authority combating federal authority. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/general-article/grant-kkk/ hell, this pbs article says what the kkk did worked as far as getting kkk goals, like getting rid of republican party influence by terrorizing and murdering blacks and republicans. but it also might be a case of trying to disrupt a governments authority leading to a increased government authority. maybe the federal government took a bigger role by fighting states that fought the federal government and with the kkk's fight against the federal government in this ferguson case, people that wanted the cop out of the police department got it when the guy resigned due to being scared by the threats on him and the police.
  16. so say violence is more effective than nonviolence then you would look at, is it more effective to be violent against the police, to change the police, or to be more violent against your own communities small business to change the police. now a soldier refusing to fight is a peaceful protest, and fragging the officers would be violent protest, so we would look at if the fragging officers made the biggest difference.
  17. so say there are issues such as " we want police to wear body cameras and police cars to have cameras" " we want police to use non lethal force when possible" " we want police that humanize civilians and don't think they need to use lethal force on some civilians faster than other civilians" then we would look at peaceful protests, and how they affected government change, so if we have 3 months of peaceful protests and nothing, then peaceful protests arent so effective, than a day of looting and burning if that looting and burning causes government change. but say the peaceful protests had a government start looking into how to make these changes, start looking for which body cameras to use, and how to use them, and write up procedures and trainings for police officers, a proccess that will take some months with due diligence. then a violent protest comes along because the changes have not happend yet, then the ishue gets more talked about, and when the changes happend quicker after the police department has done it's research, people give the violent riots the credit. so for credit on peaceful protests vs looting, i think we would have to look at the initiation of when the change happend, and if the violent protests made the change come faster, and if that faster change was for PR.
  18. http://www.democracynow.org/2014/12/1/dehumanizing_the_black_lives_of_america i thought this was a interesting interview where Dyson gives his perspective that police forces are demonizing people and that it's leading to more lethal force than alternatives.
  19. what does a black community have to do with a guy that robbed a store and tried to kill a cop? i mean is hermann cain getting this same treatment? he is black. the perception of most blacks is that they are not criminals like the guy that robbed a store and tried to kill the cop. just like the perception that most whites arent criminals either.
  20. is there some list of jean companies views on gun control out there or something, if companies must choose one or loose market share?
  21. but few african americans loot or have their pants low, so saying the african american community loots and has their pants low seems like saying the european american community is a bunch of methhead inbreeds
  22. tea-bagging half boiling water sounded even worse than dry firing from that article. child support payments are getting huge, so maybe that alone makes it worth it. 40%, i don't know how many families with a father, a mother, and children would spend 40% of that income on the child.
  23. "the african american community" what is that supposed to mean?
  24. dry firing, if that can work, would also help prevent std's and lower cleaning bills.
  25. what pills are on the market, and what are their side effects?
