Who has ever heard of the Alpha male?

BD66 comments on Jan 26, 2019:

It's more of an issue among men than it is among men and women. I'll give you a few examples: LeBron James is the Alpha male of the Los Angeles Lakers. Michael Jordan was the Alpha male of the Chicago Bulls. They are the ones who call the shots on the basketball court and tell their teammates what to do. It's also very important in the workplace. I worked as an engineer for many years in tech companies and you have two different flavors. The true alpha male who sets the deadlines and drives the workers to meet the deadlines. The "the alpha geek" who is not as aggressive as the alpha males but is widely acknowledged as the smartest guy in the room. A successful tech company must have alpha males and alpha geeks. From my own personal experience, most of the alpha males and alpha geeks I knew in the workplace had both career success and happy marriages.

It's a fine distinction really. Both agnostics and atheists don't believe the fairy tales of organized religions. Agnostics are the more rational ones. Here's an example. We aren't that far separated from mice evolutionarily. It would be relatively easy for a group of humans to raise multiple generations of mice and completely control their lives and keep the mice completely unaware that the humans are controlling every aspect of their lives. The agnostic mouse would say "I don't know if there is a higher being controlling my life or not, I'm just a little mouse, running around in a little cage, and that's too difficult a question to ponder. Unless I see evidence of that, I will reserve judgement" The atheist mouse would say "I can say with 100% certainty that my life is not being controlled by any form of higher being" The agnostic mouse would be right, and the atheist mouse would be wrong.

BD66 comments on Jan 21, 2019:

You are 100% correct. The two hour video shows the whole sordid affair. First the kids were harassed by one group of adults, the Black Hebrew Israelites (a hate group). Then Phillips and his group marched into the middle of them trying to intimidate them with their drums. The school was also negligent leaving the kids in the middle of such a volatile hostile environment without enough adult supervision or adult protection. That group of kids responded about as well as you could expect in that situation.

BD66 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

You should be upset about being deceived (AGAIN) by the leftist media. The kids from the Catholic school were in the middle of a school cheer when Nathan Phillips walked into their midst banging a drum. They were confused and thought the group was joining them. Then Nathan Phillips approached one boy after another banging his drum forcing them to move out of the way. He finally met a boy who would not move, and he stood and banged his drum near the boy's face for 2 minutes hoping to intimidate the boy. When he failed to intimidate the boy or to incite violence, he turned around and left. Nathan Philips has done the same thing on college campuses and he has incited violence in the past. Here's what really happened. Watch the videos and see for yourself. https://twitter.com/aclementswkrc/status/1086822521012473858?s=21=IwAR0FfcYCUNDlqLRIXaBdADgb0UuvaR3sdkTRwcmB_6BjQewr0blGNU1ga5Q

BD66 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

From reading the news stories and watching the videos, it appears the following happened. Nathan Phillips is a political activist who is strongly against Trump's policies. He was in DC to express his political feelings. The kids were in DC on a school trip, and (from their hats) are in favor of most of Trump's policies. Nathan Phillips approached the kids. He was walking towards one kid after another banging the drum in front of him forcing the kids to move out of the way. Watch the look on the kid's face at 0:20. The Native Americans with Phillips did not feel threatened by the kids in any way. Watch the video at 0:36 to 0:40. Every kid Nathan Phillips approached moved out of the way until he encountered one kid who would not. 0:54. Nathan Phillips was banging his drum in the kids face and singing very loudly into the kid's face in an attempt to intimidate him. Nathan Phillips had every opportunity to go around the kid, but he stood there for almost two minutes banging the drum in the kids face. The kids had every right to be on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial expressing their point of view. Nathan Phillips had every right to be on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial expressing his point of view. There is a small woman in the group with Nathan Phillips 2:23. She doesn't look the least bit scared or intimidated by the kids. She is the only person in the entire video who uses profanity. The kid had no obligation whatsoever to step aside. If Nathan Phillips had hit the kid with his drumstick that would have been assault and battery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH1L0RBIfu4

I doubt that kid will ever know what it's like to serve.

BD66 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

Watch the video. The old man is marching into the crowd banging the drum in front of him forcing the kids to get out of the way, until he encountered a kid who wouldn't be intimidated. He could have passed by the kid on the left or on the right, but he chose to stand there banging his drum closer and closer to the kid's face trying to get the kid to move out of his way. His sole intention is to intimidate the kid and make him move out of his way. Also, listen to the entire 3:44 video. I didn't hear a single "build that wall" from anyone there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH1L0RBIfu4

The best swimmers are almost all of European descent Watch an NFL game: You will find a whole lot more African Americans and Pacific Islanders than you should from their relative populations. Icelanders make up 0.005% of the world's population, but they have won 21.9% of the World's Strongest Man titles. If I said "Icelanders are the strongest demographic group on the planet", Would you get angry at me? Jews make up 0.2% of the world's population, but they have won 22.5% of the Nobel Prizes, and they make up a large portion of the faculty at elite universities. If I said "Ashkenazi Jews are the smartest demographic group on the planet." Would you get angry at me? Measurable differences across racial/ethnic/demographic groups leads to a lot of difficult problems. Do you base entrance criteria to elite universities solely on class rank and SAT scores, or do you set quotas for different racial/ethnic/demographic groups? Do you hire faculty at universities solely on academic achievement, or do you set quotas for different racial/ethnic/demographic groups?

BD66 comments on Jan 13, 2019:

There is a huge difference. Every church or religion can make it's own rules, but in the USA citizens can decide whether they want to be a member of the church or religion and follow those rules. "Rules" of the government are called laws. There are tax laws, drug laws, personal property laws, and immigration laws. If the overwhelming majority of people did not make a reasonable effort to follow those laws, there would be chaos. I think that you are correct with respect to Trump. When it was obvious that millions were breaking our immigration laws and the Democratic party was actually encouraging them to do so, many people believed it was important to elect someone who would enforce our immigration laws.
