"IHOPs Should Stay Open All Night So We Can Get Some Pancakes Act"

At 3am, an open IHOP should be considered a necessity for national security.

My biggest 3 am crisis involved babies not sleeping. Let's see congress deal with that!

(Although, they could get their bills read at that time, since they don't have anything else to do.)

Racial Bias Clouds Ability To Feel Others' Pain

When people witness or imagine the pain of another person, their nervous system responds in essentially the same way it would if they were feeling that pain themselves. Now, researchers reporting online on May 27th in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, have new evidence to show that that kind of empathy is diminished when people (black or white) who hold racial biases see that pain is being inflicted on those of another race.

The good news is that people continue to respond with empathy when pain is inflicted on people who don't fit into any preconceived racial category—in this case, those who appear to have violet-colored skin.

"This is quite important because it suggests that humans tend to empathize by default unless prejudice is at play," said Salvatore Maria Aglioti of Sapienza Università di Roma.

He lost the election in 2008...then he got teabagged by JD Hayworth and had to become a teabagger to keep his former VP's endorsement. On NPR yesterday, one of the political commentators actually referred to him as being "afraid" of losing his primary (7 point difference now). It'll be interesting to see him respond to accusations of being 'afraid' (even if they're true).

re: #38 darthstar

It's a good thing McCain's power is only limited to denying whatever position he held before 2008 on a given issue.

It's so hard for me to even care about McCain anymore. Occasionally I get this little pause of "man, that guy ran for president?"

Put in the Pages a link to the NatGeo page with images from their special airing tonight on the Horizons disaster.

When one looks at this photo and realize how big that structure is that is burning and collapsing... then the magnitude of this industrial "accident" hits home. I suspect the NatGeo special will make more tangible the horror that the dead 11 went through.

Might have to wait 1000 years. Jamaica has one of the worst laws in the Western Hemisphere impacting GLBTs:

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) rights in Jamaica are dominated by the prohibition of sexual acts between men. Sexual acts between women are legal, by virtue of the absence of any reference to them in law. Sexual acts between men are punishable with up to ten years jail. Jamaica has been called by human-rights groups as the most homophobic place on earth.

Doesn't look like. Although I'm sure they're more lenient towards tourists if not outright ignore them. Here's some of the statutes:

Criminal Code

Jamaican criminal code prohibits sex between men, as is the case in much of the English-speaking Caribbean. Article 76 of the Offences Against the Person Act states:

Whosoever shall be convicted of the abominable crime of buggery, committed either with mankind or with any animal, shall be liable to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for a term not exceeding ten years.

Article 77 adds:

Whosoever shall attempt to commit the said abominable crime, or shall be guilty of any assault with intent to commit the same, or of any indecent assault upon any male person, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and being convicted thereof, shall be liable to be imprisoned for a term not exceeding seven years, with or without hard labour.

Article 79 further states:

Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or is a party to the commission of, or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with another male person, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and being convicted thereof shall be liable at the discretion of the court to be imprisoned for a term not exceeding two years, with or without hard labour.

But getting the embed code from you tube and into the embed code box in the Pages submit form is tricky. Somehow, the embed code gets truncated or altered. It's over my head I got no code skillz myself. I dropped the code into word then re copied it. Dunno why that works either.

Actually it is just the opposite. And I'm not staking a claim - just my point of view. I could be wrong. I could be persuaded otherwise. I am very familiar with substance abuse in America. I know it is not gong away easy; neither is the crime associated with it.

Drug dealers have power. They won't give that up just because the drugs dry up. They'll find something else to do to maintain their station.

re: #131 Racer X

Actually it is just the opposite. And I'm not staking a claim - just my point of view. I could be wrong. I could be persuaded otherwise. I am very familiar with substance abuse in America. I know it is not gong away easy; neither is the crime associated with it.

I'm familiar with substance abuse in America too! All I'm saying is that if there were less of an illegal drug market in America, that there's less motivation for organized crime to sell and smuggle drugs.

And if there's less motivation for that, fewer people will be killed over selling and smuggling drugs.

Seems pretty simple to me.

Not that there's downsides to that policy, but if the street price of illegal drugs goes down, the crime associated with the production and smuggling of them also goes down.

re: #135 wrenchwench

I agree.

Would you suggest legalization of marijuana? I do. So does Vicente Fox, the previous president of Mexico, and so does half of El Paso's city council, and several other smart people.

that would include me

YES

They've been trying to curb drug use by attempting to make users feel guilty through ad campaigns for decades now. They even tried attaching marijuana use to terrorist organizations.

Didn't work.

Not buying it.

Everyone has a choice in life. Some choose to buy and use drugs, some choose to distribute drugs. Make a different choice if life is getting you down.

This town has a lot of unemployed people, and some of them are growing pot to get by.

The "different choice" is living on the street.

Woodrow Wilson was not a good president, and his actions during WWI were at times tyrannical, but he was not a devil. The only issue on which his intent was malign was race, as his embrace of D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation helped accelerate the growth of the Ku Klux Klan.

I did a complete remodel on an IHOP kitchen back in...uhh...1980 or so?

After pulling all the line equipment out and kneeling in all the 3/4 inch thick rancid grease on the floor hidden behind and underneath them I swore I would never eat in an IHOP again.

So far I have kept that promise, but then again it is kinda hard to eat in almost any restaurant that you have actually worked in the kitchen of. My advice, don't become an electrician or a plumber if you want to eat out a lot without knowing the conditions your food is prepared under. :p

I see now they've expanded into junk-history. Social justice is an ancient concept.

Here's an example from the Federalist Papers more relevant to American history:

The Same Subject Continued: Concerning Dangers from Dissensions Between the States
For the Independent Journal.
Author: Alexander Hamilton
To the People of the State of New York:

SNIP

Laws in violation of private contracts, as they amount to aggressions on the rights of those States whose citizens are injured by them, may be considered as another probable source of hostility. We are not authorized to expect that a more liberal or more equitable spirit would preside over the legislations of the individual States hereafter, if unrestrained by any additional checks, than we have heretofore seen in too many instances disgracing their several codes. We have observed the disposition to retaliation excited in Connecticut in consequence of the enormities perpetrated by the Legislature of Rhode Island; and we reasonably infer that, in similar cases, under other circumstances, a war, not of PARCHMENT, but of the sword, would chastise such atrocious breaches of moral obligation and social justice.

re: #235 albusteve

The local nerdy talk radio show I used to listen to, they always had hydroponics gardening store ads on their show. :D

Every time I get really busy with work, I come back here after a day or two and read the thread headings.

So the Nazis, who were apparently leftists, were now also teh gay according to the brilliant sort of mind that would replace Thomas Jefferson with John Calvin.

I wonder what will happen when they find out that Calvin was French...

They will re-write that history too no doubt. I am sure that if there were no coming warming, in the year 2100 Calvin would be a Texan, fighting at teh Alamo.

But back to the real Nazis. The real no-Godwin historical Nazis.

The central Nazi message was to convince the average German that he was an oppressed victim in his own nation, while simultaneously pumping them up as a master race with a destiny.

There are only certain ways that you can convince the majority that they are victims in their own nation. The Nazis did them all. It is with these points of convergence that people should be very afraid of the very real parallels.

First off, if you are telling people that they are rightful supermen who are better loved than others, the only way that such ubermenschen can be in the dire straits they are is if they were betrayed from within and without. You have to sell many enemies and conspiracy theories everywhere.

1. The government is not loyal to you.

2. The government no longer cares for the values of your nation.

3. Your society's morals have crumbled. The Nazis murdered gay people as well as Jews. In fact, homosexuals were amongst the first groups targeted for murder.

4. As an extension of three, vulnerable groups are quickly identified as the source of those problems. Jews, Gays, Immigrants were all people who were historically marginalized in Germany. They were the first targets.

5. Extreme xeno-phobia needs to be pumped up. Not only does this fire jingoistic rage, which is then something to use as a wedge issue, but it targets the most vulnerable of all groups, recent immigrants. After all, they surely are not real Americans (I'm sorry, we are talking about Germany)

6. Constant references to a mythical synthesis of a shining Germany that never was... The goal of the master race needs to be the full flowering of cultural superiority. For the Germans, of course it was some mix of Wagner and the might of Prussia.

7. This fits well with an alliance with German industry who will fuel the transformation from powerless to "taking it all back." As such German industry funded a massive and sustained media push to get the Nazi message out. It gave a disproportionate voice to the growing craziness and legitimized for public speech what would have been counted as madness earlier.

8. Communists and socialists were everywhere according to the Nazis. Spreading fear of them was a very useful way to keep the angry and disenfranchised riled up. But the real key of it was convincing the middle class that they would lose everything unless drastic measures were taken.

9. The Nazis were not above spreading the most vile lies or whining pitiably. They saw themselves early on as martyrs for a sacred cause. Everyone was out to get the Germans, and as the only "Real Germans," they thought they would take whatever means necessary. Rewriting history and burning books and silencing intellectuals was an early goal of theirs.

10. The Nazis were first and foremost a populist movement. Part of their largest selling point was that they were just average Germans - but with the courage to be everything a German should be - not some whiny gay or socialist or minority professor type of loose morals.

11. They had all sorts of this will fix everything economic theories that in the end of the day favored the industrialists.

Look at the above list and think of Fox, and the messages it and Rush and Beck and Palin and Paul spread. Replace Wagner and the cult of Bismark with a certain view of Christianity and a cult of the Cowboy. Hating gays is the same. replace Jews with blacks and browns.
