I believe the actual data is from more a larger pool than 25 white on black. In the blog post by the researchers which is link embedded in Frontline's story "http://blog.metrotrends.org/2012/03/stand-…"

From the blog-post by the researchers Frontline is talking about (the link is embedded in the Frontline story): "we searched the SHR data for cases that matched all the facts of the Martin case (including ages and races). Out of 70,000 cases, we find that the homicides similar to the Martin case occurred just 23…

Note: Sorry I thought I was replying to someone else noticing the odd data instead I double posted to yours Ergo

Read the blog post by the researcher it's linked to, I think the Article is turning the 23 killing with similar age / race to Martin / Zimmerman into 25 (This was from a pool of over 73,000, bot the 43,000 the article mentions) and saying it's the total of all white on black killings. I think the data may show only…

I read the link on the frontline page to the researchers blog post on the matter and in the blog post Roman and Downey state "cases that matched all the facts of the Martin case (including ages and races). Out of 70,000 cases, we find that the homicides similar to the Martin case occurred just 23 times in five years"…

How can you prove that the higher IQ scores were because of their genetics and not a culture which puts a greater emphasis on education? Do adopted Ashkenazi jews still score a standard deviation higher?

Guess I was lucky, I had to call Paypal last week about a phishy sounding email and the whole experience took less than 10 minutes.

I would never say there is any love between humans and Orcas (I'm not even much of a fan) nor would I consider their morality "human" but Tilikum exists in a environment where he lives symbiotically with humans and should be aware of his actions being negative. His violent actions work against his own interests (or…

That's a very anthropocentic argument. I believe that once a species has reached a point where they exist in complex social structures, makes use of language and passes on knowledge to others forming a culture they must have the capabilities to realize the consequences of their actions. I think that you do not have…

I would wait until they can recreate his healing factor. Instead of having tools tear through your flesh every time you want to use them might I suggest a swiss army knife?

BS, clown babies don't have souls

Why do people think you can take a animal from it's species before it's been properly cultured, raise it in a cage, and somehow it will grow up to be normal? Tilikum is a murderer; he is intelligent enough to understand that he's killed and should have been put down years ago. Not his fault mind you, he was…

Just did a little research on the case (and the lawyer) it looks like Perez got his sentence knocked down to 2-years, makes me feel a little better....

This made me sick to my stomach

It would probably stay dry... but I wouldn't smoke it.

One of my favorite series. Still have no idea why they didn't bring Zangeki no Reginleiv to the US, my all time favorite game. For those of you who haven't played it's like EDF except it used the wii-motion plus and you would take on hordes of giant trolls, slicing their limbs off using swords with 60 meter ranges…

So I created a new burner just to throw this out there: As a animator I see no problem in the skeleton / faces / physics needed to include female players. The hair is a entirely different story, if you want to have a polished feel you would need good hair and hair is a challenge, the movements are complex and take a…
