| Topic | New rule in Australia: all sexual partners must say "yes" |
| s0nicfan 07/08/18 12:58:20 AM #30 | DifferentialEquation posted... The new law states, in effect, that if you want to have sex you must ask for it clearly, and then hear a verbal yes back, under new reforms announced by the New South Wales (NSW) government in Australia The sign language for "yes" is nodding with your fist at shoulder level, so as long as some guy doesn't confused her threatening to punch him with "yes" everyone is good. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

The police were completely unnecessary in this situation. He didn't record the video or post it online and make the claims of racism, so no he didn't do this to himself. I'm sure that if he thought calling the cops would have resulted in his name and face being posted across multiple front pages of major media sites, losing his job, and being kicked out his volunteer position he wouldn't have asked or called. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

From the same article you linked to: What I think likely happened is he asked her for ID as he does periodically as part of his HOA responsibility, most often to other white people (since it sounds like this place is almost exclusively white). She gave him an address, and he said that wasn't good enough (because an address without an ID doesn't prove anything). At that point she could have just pulled our her key card and gone in, but she didn't, and I don't think he blocked the door either. I think they both got testy, she accused him of racism, and he called the cops because she was making a scene. The cops showed up, she used her key card and the cop said that was going to have to be evidence enough for him, and then she ruined his life. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

The reality here is the guy as part of a HOA and at the request of another pool person asked for her ID. She refused to give him any form of identification, including the key card, so he called the cops. She recorded everything from when the cop shows up, and this guy is now plastered all over mainstream media and fired not only from the HOA, but according to the BBC from his actual job. The dude's life has now been irreparably wrecked, all because he asked for some identification. That's insane. CableZL posted... If simply using the key card to open the door was "perfect," then she never would have needed to show ID in the first place. Even after seeing that her key card worked and opened the door, he still wanted to see her ID. We DON'T KNOW what happened before she started recording, but there's no reason to believe he didn't also ask to see her key card and she refused, because that's what their actual dialogue says. An address isn't proof of membership, which is all he wanted. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

"Us people" think that because it's an extremely common psychological tactic used to change the argument so the responsible parties can avoid dealing with their faults. For example, the big push for using reusable bags at the shopping market made the environment a "personal responsibility" focus when a 1% decrease in Wal-Mart's pollution profile would have the same effect as the entire country foregoing plastic bags. Michelle Obama's health push started as a way to get kids eating less garbage, and junk food companies came in to "help" and turned it into getting out to exercise more. Sugar is the only item on nutrition labels without a % daily value because they were able to change the conversation to be about fat. In all these examples, people felt "I did something good" and moved on, completely forgetting that their original push was never addressed. People aren't very good at multitasking as a collective, so the more you focus on these low hanging fruits, the more you're guaranteeing that the root problem never gets addressed.

Look at what's causing people to hit other people and work towards reducing that. Maybe cell phone use penalties aren't high enough. Maybe we need louder crossing signals or more obvious crosswalks. I think generally you solve a problem by looking at the root cause. Every collision prevented is a person guaranteed not to die. Redesigning car hoods only reduces the likelihood of people dying when hit... but they're still being hit, and they're still dying (just at a reduced rate). EDIT: Balrog0 posted... The way that you reduce the number of pedestrians being hit requires redesigning streets and laws regulating the streets Oh no, it's certainly harder. I didn't mean to imply that was the easier solution if that's how you read it.

A bunch of people decided neoptism was a problem, a massive wave of articles tried to shift the blame to "harassment" and both sides doubled down. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

If they were spread out even a little bit they would have only lost a couple and Poe's gamble would have been seen as a major victory. Plot contrivance was required to make him look like an idiot. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| s0nicfan 07/05/18 6:36:11 PM #4 | To become citizens, the service members need an honorable service designation, which can come after even just a few days at boot camp. But the recently discharged service members have had their basic training delayed, so they cant be naturalized. So the 40 people the AP has identified are recruits that haven't even gone through basic training yet, and the Army is claiming they're security risks due to family abroad. The ones the AP interviewed were from Pakistan and Iran. This isn't veterans, reservists, or even active duty soldiers. This isn't great, but it also isn't nearly as bad as the title suggests. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
