    - Justice Rachel Dratch. -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 13:14
  - Do you believe that demographics a person identifies with have an impact on their viewpoints and opinions? - Fuzzy Aug 5, 13:03 32
    - and.... scene! -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 13:08 1
      - I felt like I missed my mark and didn't really express the emotion needed. Can we re-do? (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 13:13
    - [deleted] 5
      - I think I phrased my comment poorly, Let me try again. - Fuzzy Aug 5, 13:20 4
        
        I think your observation in the third paragraph is mistaken - znufrii Aug 5, 13:26
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Ok, thanks for explaining that. - Fuzzy Aug 5, 13:39
        
        I think all people have influencing backgrounds. Any sitting judge at any level makes a deliberate effort to overcome the influences from their past - landbeck Aug 5, 13:30
    - sure it does, but why should that standard not apply to old white guys as well? - znufrii Aug 5, 13:06
    - So all those old white dudes can't vote on anything related to minorties? - amoxy Aug 5, 13:06 15
      - Yeah, that's not what I said at all. I said it impacts their opinions. - Fuzzy Aug 5, 13:12 14
        
        FWIW, I didn't think you were implying that. But the responses were pointing out the fact that even if it does, it applies to all people. - musubi Aug 5, 13:19
        
        why isn't it what you said. - Mel Profit Aug 5, 13:17 7
        
        "Please note that I don't think this is in any way limited to women or gays. I think it is human nature." - Fuzzy Aug 5, 13:23 6
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        No, you're right. I wouldn't have made that comment. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 5, 13:43
        
        Speaking of taking it personally... -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 5, 13:28 2
        
        "I'm arbitrarily going to legislate against you to score political points with bigots. Don't take it personally." -- nm - David Aug 5, 13:31
        
        [deleted]
        
        so why is it brought up at all? -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 13:25
        
        from the backboards, the post was meant as a dig at Jim's Facebook thread earlier with one of his "crazy" friends - JaxSean Aug 5, 13:14
        
        [deleted]
        
        the point is that it's a double standard of reasoning that's only ever applied to minorities. -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 13:13 2
        
        Absolutely. - Fuzzy Aug 5, 13:29 1
        
        I'm not sure who you're talking about here. There's widespread agreement in this thread that upbringing has an impact on people's decisions -- nm - Roger More Aug 5, 13:32
    - Of course a person's identity affects their opinions. Why, though, is that question only asked when a person is a minority? - musubi Aug 5, 13:06 3
      - This is particularly noteworthy given the percentage discrepancies with the death penalty. -- nm - David Aug 5, 13:22 1
        
        [deleted]
      - because the constitution was written by a bunch of old white guys, and therefore can only be correctly interpreted by a bunch of old white guys. -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 13:11
    - Strangely, this argument is is never as prominent when it is old white guys making the decisions -- nm - Roger More Aug 5, 13:05
    - but where does one stop? -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 13:04 1
      - Judgebot 9000 -- nm - chuckles Aug 5, 13:05
  - or gays, just to be on the safe side... -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 12:56 5
    - hech why no anything involving humans? - Danedukenuuk Aug 5, 13:05
    - and Jewish too, so that precludes any judgements on religion, right? -- nm - decline Aug 5, 13:00 3
      - and if we start a rumor that she has a long-lost black ancestor, she'll have to resuce herself from race issues, too! -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 13:01 1
        
        Kagan: "My cousin's cousin is married to a black guy." Tea Party: "That's a dealbreaker, lady. DQ." (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 13:04

- Expect conservations groups to fight the demolition of the WorldPort - ty97 Aug 5, 14:16
I probably should place my pre-order for Halo:Reach -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 12:47 37
- What's the best deal out there? Amazon? Walmart? GameStop? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 5, 12:53 13
  - I don't know. I was hoping someone else had already researched this for me -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 12:54 10
    - I know Amazon has a $20 Video Game credit with purchase, and I think Walmart had a $20 gift card. Not sure about GameStop. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 5, 12:56 9
      - Gamestop has a $20 credit online only as well, plus a few in-game "bonuses." -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 5, 13:00 4
        
        Uh, isn't the Target deal this good? - Spawn Aug 5, 13:02 3
        
        I don't see anything online at Target.com about any kind of bonus. -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 5, 13:12 2
        
        It was in store. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 13:30 1
        
        Ah. Please let me know. Because we have a 10% off coupon so I'll use that if it's a $20 gift card bonus. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 5, 13:35
      - correction: Bonus $20 Walmart.com eGift Card. -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 5, 12:57
      - yeah, I'm at Amazon right now. The $20 credit sounds tempting -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 12:57 2
        
        This is probably where I'll end up getting it from. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 5, 13:12 1
        
        Me too. -- nm - Krusty Aug 5, 13:22
  - Target! - Spawn Aug 5, 12:53 1
    - They *never* have decent deals. It's rather frustrating, as a loyal Target shopper. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 5, 12:55
- The girl on whom I'm developing a Shakepearean crush is one of you Halo freaks. nm - Dignan Aug 5, 12:49 14
  - I think this makes your Freddie Prinze Jr. -- nm - Max Aug 5, 12:52
  - that sounds cool - you should have her join up with our group and we'll talk up your good qualities -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 12:51 4
    - "He's really done a great job at getting that beastiality fetish under control." (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 12:54 1
      - "Dignan read book." -- nm - Max Aug 5, 12:54
    - Totally. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 12:52
    - *radio silence* -- nm - chuckles Aug 5, 12:52
  - You realize that means that groiny has already tbaged her, right? -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 12:50 3
    - What's the female equivalent of a teabag? nm - Dignan Aug 5, 12:53 2
      - this -- (link) - Max Aug 5, 12:57 [youtube]
      - I was gonna go with flower, but curtain works. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 12:55
  - like romeo and juliet shakespeare? - chuckles Aug 5, 12:50 3
    - I think he means like one of the cross-dressing comedies -- nm - Roger More Aug 5, 12:52 1
      - i wonder how the religious right feels about those? -- nm - Andie Aug 5, 12:59
    - We take recreational hemlock. nm - Dignan Aug 5, 12:51
- How long do you think I'll have to wait to buy it if I don't pre-order, two weeks? More? -- nm - Krusty Aug 5, 12:48 7
  - You get stuff for pre-ordering, though. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 12:53 4
    - Good point. I should try and put $5-$10 a week towards it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 5, 12:55 3
      - Targets was you pay $1 now and get to buy the game at release and get a $20 gift card, or some such. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 12:57 2
        
        I'm checking a few places now and Amazon seems like a good deal. Gamestop's is okay but I don't usually buy games from them online. -- nm - Krusty Aug 5, 13:15 1
        
        That is kinda why I like Target's (IIRC). -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 13:31
  - Hopefully not, because you live in civilization. But I live in an area where Wal-mart never brings in enough new releases -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 12:52 1
    - True and that sucks. -- nm - Krusty Aug 5, 12:54
talk talk talk -- nm - budice Aug 5, 12:47 1
