  1. This was your claim: Again, I am not asking "how", I am asking "why". So cows produce milk for any reason but the point which takes my attention is why we also need to drink milk. You cant deny our need for milk and milk products. We would have been adapted to live without drinking milk but we didnt, we need it especially for our daily calcium needs and its the only product that can provide from.
  2. http://www.metronews.ca/news/toronto/2014/01/09/canadas-most-wanted-fugitive-to-be-tried-in-china-for-murder.html In this case, China agreed to try him for murder but they would not return him to Canada to face justice here.
  3. Australia has an Extradition Treaty in place but it has not yet been ratified, as far as I know.
  4. Humans needing milk is a myth that has long been debunked. Calcium is available from many other sources and milk can in fact increase obesity rates, anemia, and lactose intolerance. http://www.livescience.com/49551-should-kids-drink-milk.html
  5. I'm still waiting to hear about all these feminists who were offended by his visit as you have suggested.
  6. Exactly. Check out this: https://www.statnews.com/2016/04/26/chinese-sell-modified-fentanyl/
  7. I suspect she's preparing for the debate.
  8. Sorry Tim. I provided analysis and studies that you choose to ignore. I'm done with you.
  9. Right. And you wonder why I don't respond. Right. And you wonder why I don't respond.
  10. Probably because your responses have been addressed by others much better than I could put into words.
  11. And you have chosen to completely ignore the studies and analysis that I have linked to. But of course that is up to you. I can only present the info. You can digest it anyway you want.
  12. This link will help to explain the myth that: (if anyone wants to bother to read it) “The police often say that the police are where the crime is as a way to suggest that the reason that they are more violent in certain communities is because they have to be there because the communities are more violent,” DeRay Mckesson, a member of Campaign Zero’s planning team and one of the most prominent voices in the Black Lives Matter movement, told The Huffington Post. “We wanted to see how the data matched to that suggestion, and what we saw is that it doesn’t.” “It just reminds us that the police are choosing to be violent in communities,” he added." “This myth that people have created that community violence is the cause of police violence is absolutely false,” said Brittany Packnett, another member of Campaign Zero’s planning team, who also sat on Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon’s (D) Ferguson Commission. “This is an issue of policy, of accountability and of culture inside of departments.”
  13. I see you didn't read the link.
  14. In 2015, Washington Post created a real-time database to track fatal police shootings: "As of Sunday, 1,502 people have been shot and killed by on-duty police officers since Jan. 1, 2015. Of them, 732 were white, and 381 were black (and 382 were of another or unknown race)." "But as data scientists and policing experts often note, comparing how many or how often white people are killed by police to how many or how often black people are killed by the police is statistically dubious unless you first adjust for population." "According to the most recent census data, there are nearly 160 million more white people in America than there are black people. White people make up roughly 62 percent of the U.S. population but only about 49 percent of those who are killed by police officers. African Americans, however, account for 24 percent of those fatally shot and killed by the police despite being just 13 percent of the U.S. population. As The Post noted in a new analysis published last week, that means black Americans are 2.5 times as likely as white Americans to be shot and killed by police officers." "U.S. police officers have shot and killed the exact same number of unarmed white people as they have unarmed black people: 50 each. But because the white population is approximately five times larger than the black population, that means unarmed black Americans were five times as likely as unarmed white Americans to be shot and killed by a police officer." "The study also sought to answer whether officers were more likely to shoot and kill someone who is unarmed if the shooting happened to occur in a high-crime area. They concluded that is not the case." “The only thing that was significant in predicting whether someone shot and killed by police was unarmed was whether or not they were black,” said Justin Nix, a criminal-justice researcher at the University of Louisville and one of the report’s authors, said in April. “Crime variables did not matter in terms of predicting whether the person killed was unarmed.” “This just bolsters our confidence that there is some sort of implicit bias going on,” Nix said. “Officers are perceiving a greater threat when encountered by unarmed black citizens.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/07/11/arent-more-white-people-than-black-people-killed-by-police-yes-but-no/?utm_term=.ad6c463bbf53
  15. Besides trivializing the plight innocent displaced by war, Trump's flippant tweet gets the math wrong. The risk of being killed by a refugee has been credibly estimated as 1 in 3.6 billion per year. The Washington Post says this number of Skittles would fill one and a half Olympic swimming pools.

    1. ?Impact

      ?Impact

      Donald can afford a bowl of skittles that big.

  16. What other feminists have felt let down besides the one previously mentioned?
  17. But argus is so concerned about women's rights in the Middle East.
  18. Deporting 11,000,000 isn't going to happen. You know it and I know it. And no jobs will be saved.
  19. You didn't address my post. If you are going to quote it at least address it.
  20. I don't find anything about these videos funny. Am I missing something?
  21. Then you are naive. Identity theft starts with the smallest information available. If I were you I would not broadcast such personal information online.
  22. Well yea I did a few posts back if you bothered to read it.
  23. So this is where the under educated comes in. They believe that this will happen and that it will save them jobs. It's not gonna happen
  24. You probably shouldn't quote your student #. You should delete it or the mods should.
  25. Yes but try and tell that to Trump supporters. They refuse to hear any of it.
