    Institutional Racism

    None of this is evidence of institutional racism, it's 'suggested' or someone who clearly hates police officers opinion. Find me a video which shows a law being discussed which is intrinsically racist and I'll agree. Find me a policy or video of a majority of police forces who are unambiguously...

    Institutional Racism

    Again, jumping to false conclusions. I didn't say racism doesn't exist. I said where is the evidence for institutional racism? Isolated incidences of racism is not evidence of institutional racism.

    Institutional Racism

    Again, no evidence provided, just nebulous conclusions. Where is the evidence that the judicial system doesn't know that black lives matter?

    Institutional Racism

    Again, this is not the same thing, writing a letter to the police with an intent to kill an individual, is not the same as having a slight bias towards a name. Yes of course they do, thats exactly why the black lives matter movement is creating racism not fighting it. Having lack of a...

    Institutional Racism

    Many have looked, that's why they can't produce any evidence to suggest it exists. The west clearly has the lowest levels of racism and bigotry in the world, thats why we're the most multiculturally diverse regions on the planet. Is this an actual argument? There isn't a Jamaican Rastafarian...

    So who or what was your first comment aimed at?

    Institutional Racism

    Yes it's called association, its whats going to create institutional racism. This is not the same, you're asking someone to pick a candidate based on the information on a piece of paper in one case, and shouting with intent, directly at the individual at the centre of the rally with the other...

    The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

    The majority of the reason for people being wealthy and better off, is clearly being smarter and harder working, the effort you put into your education the higher your chances of prosperity. It seems that those who are doing the oppressing are currently those who are living in the more...

    The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

    Since the 1% issue is a problem all over the world, all removing the bias from it would do it shift all the points to the left relative to their current positions. The trend would remain the same.

    Institutional Racism

    You've made a false statement suggesting I can't see any racism, i didn't say racism doesn't exist, I said there is currently no credible evidence for institutional racism, so i'm not obliged to believe it exists. You haven't addressed my concern regarding institutional racism with any evidence...

    Institutional Racism

    It's not farfetched for the simple reason stated, you can't be racist to a noun. I didn't say there wasn't racism, I said there is currently no tangible evidence for institutional racism. If all you can do is tell me I'm racist, with no argument backing up my original concern, then it's a...

    Institutional Racism

    Yes agreed with George, you can't claim racism on this issue. You also can't claim racism on ethnic sounding names, for the simple fact that you can't be racist to a noun, people who are more alike with white sounding names just might prefer white sounding names as they're more familiar with...

    Institutional Racism

    What is institutional racism? It seems like this nebulous phrase has just come out of no where, and made a prodigious impact on the international stage in the last few years. If I where to define institutional racism it would be; 1) A law or policy in government which is intrinsically...

    The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

    Why would God create us and want to keep us poor? So you're born without a say in the matter, given a conscious, and have to live poor and spend your days worshipping him in order to increase your chances of going to heaven? It's far easier and more comfortable to live with wealth than to live...

    The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

    I have updated the graph, the US has been included as individual states and falls inline with the trend. I think it's obvious the reason for the trend in the graph, the more you worship and spend your time devoted to religious activities the less time you have to work and acquire luxuries...

    The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

    It clearly has. The more religious you are the more you worship. It would take you maybe 30 minutes to put that graph together with the data found here, The importance of religion by country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Importance_of_religion_by_country and, list of countries by GDP...

    The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

    If this were the case, you'd expect the persecutors to quickly start behaving as the true believers do, seeing as they'd be witnessing the true believers prosper. The US isn't an outlier, when you view it with respect to the individual states it falls in line with the normal trend. I don't...

    The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

    You'd expect to see a single outlier or a couple if there were nations with higher percentages of those worshipping the correct God. And the rest slumped at the bottom end of the horizontal axis.

    The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

    So it's ok to completely disbelieve, not worship at all, blasphmey, adultery, do all the things that tend to go against the teachings of many religions, as many atheists or agnostics etc tend to do. And God will award you for it with prosperity? From what you're saying you would expect the...

    The bringing of iniquity to those who hate God

    Exodus [20.5-6] 5: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6: And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and...
