"Social scientists, and I use the term 'scientist' very lightly here, tend to only want to consider the facts that don't hurt people's feelings"

Or perhaps those things you call facts simply aren't actual facts.

That's your opinion, sure...

Why should the other Muslim nations give a shit?

There's such an obvious power imbalance between Israel and Palestine. Palestinians will keep attacking out of pure spite because there's absolutely nothing they can do to change the situation.

"They could stop firing the rockets" you say.

But yeah. Like that's going to happen. The "country" is so fractioned that there's no central control over these acts. Who is going to make them stop? Heck, even if some central authority managed to make the attacks stop somehow there'd still be armed independent groups active and I'm fairly sure they'd keep on firing rockets.

Israeli retaliation will only kill more people, and that will make even more people hate Israel. It's a never ending spiral of hate, and the only realistic way for this to end is for Israel to calm down.

That's because corporations are parasites shopping for employees on a global market, but fraction the markets for their own products deliberately to counter precisely the thing they themselves are doing.

The only currently know cultural toxin is conservatism.

THAC0 was excessively complex because of how it interacted with AC.

A bonus to X is something that lowers it?

So a -2 penalty to a stat increases it?

What's wrong with the spell slots table?

Your second paragraph follows from your first. Alas, the first one does not follow from reality.

Yes. That's what I was getting at in my original post. The fact that despite the evidence that exists, they ignore it because it contradicts their beliefs.

It's really quite fascinating.

(i'm the anon you're replying to)

I agree entirely.

People who write "would of" instead of "would have" should be shot, though.

Because what we see is always accurate and never coloured by our own beliefs.

Google is probably not an accurate representation of that employment market considering that it seems to me to be exactly the company that would make deliberate attempts to hire for diversity.

Anyway. While the amount of whites seems fairly accurately representative of america as a whole, the proportions of non-whites is interesting.

White (72%)
African American (12%)
Asian American (5%)

Asians are grossly overrepresented and african americans are very underrepresented.

Wait.

Are you seriously arguing that Boko Haram is representative of the ideology of Islam?

And at the same time you seem to imply that nazism was hijacked by radicals?

That seems fairly accurate.

If you look at it, christianity seems designed for a society where everyone feels like shit and is oppressed, while priests tell you that everything will be better once you're dead (as long as you made sure not to have fun in this life, then you go to hell)

It seems to be the kind of religion ideally suited for a super authoritarian society.

Scientific experts (marketers and psychologist) are already making decisions for you. You just not aware.
