EvilMonkey Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 OK, I read an interview of Lorne Michaels from Sat Night Live where he said they make fun of Republicans because they have more of a sense of humor. According to him, republicans are more likely to laugh with the skits than Dems are, who he said tend to take everything personal. Thinking about the humor angle, I heard on the radio this morning that several Democratic groups are REALLY pissed at AshleyMadison.com due to a billboard that makes fun of a few Democrats. Here is the billboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the billboard. I have friends and relatives that range from very, very far left to very, very far right. I have had five liberals de-friend me on Facebook for disagreeing with them (mostly on abortion). I have never had a single conservative de-friend me, despite many disagreements on gay marriage, taxes and the government shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 http://dailycaller.com/2014/02/19/chicago-.../#ixzz2tnqEJHEs The Chicago Police Department wants to take predicting and preventing crimes from a bold sci-fi concept to a scary law-enforcement reality. Chicago is leading the way in funding and innovation to develop the most advanced predictive analytical system yet, which uses advanced algorithms to compile a list of individuals most likely to commit a crime. “This [program] will become a national best practice,” CPD Commander Jonathan Lewin told The Verge. “This will inform police departments around the country and around the world on how best to utilize predictive policing to solve problems. This is about saving lives.” The department database records phoned incidents and locations where crimes occur frequently to create maps of the city that highlight “hotspots” for criminal activity. It also keeps track of everyone arrested or convicted of a crime, and employs a formula to identify the 400 most dangerous people in the city. Algorithms go beyond incorporating past violent behaviors to predict future criminals — they also track relationships with other violent offenders, and use a social networking theory to identify potential targets and add them to the “heat list.” The program has grown in part from a grant of $2 million dollars from the National Institute of Justice, which handed out millions to police departments in 2009 to build crime predictive programs. “These are persons who the model has determined are those most likely to be involved in a shooting or homicide, with probabilities that are hundreds of times that of an ordinary citizen,” NIJ representative Joan LaRocca said. Part of the program includes sending officers to warn potential violators that they are being watched, and to stay out of trouble. Though a full report on the program won’t be published until 2016, concerns over privacy and profiling are already being raised. lol, I liked this comment: "Headline in 5 years: Chicago's crime predicting computers are racist."

Jenksismyhero Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Not really sure where to put this since we've had multiple capital punishment debates in various threads: http://gawker.com/a-letter-from-ray-jasper...3598/@tcraggs22 At first I thought, damn, that's a well written letter (considering the source anyway). I thought he had some decent points. And I actually did start to feel "empathy" for him since he was allegedly just a part of a group that committed a robbery where someone ended up dead and he was the only one to get the death penalty. And thennnnnnn, I read up on the guy and found out the real truth. The part where he planned the whole murder ahead of time. The part where he slit the guys throat, but didn't deliver the mortal wound...his fellow robbers stabbed the guy instead of letting him bleed out. The part where he himself had no empathy, sympathy or remorse for what he did, instead telling the jury that the other men in his group murdered the guy, not him. So yeah. f*** that guy. Have fun burning in hell buddy. Edited March 4, 2014 by Jenksismybitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkey Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Only in America can a guy donate $100 million dollars to build a hospital and be protested by the very people it will help, and employ. Why? Because he is an evil Republican!!!!! I fully expect that all these nurses will refuse jobs in the new space on principle, as well as refusing care should they ever require its services. http://freebeacon.com/blog/koch-brother-do...t-not-a-parody/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I love how f***ed up their logic is: "This is a temporary increase, we just need the money to last us a few years!" "You can't take it away! How are we ever going to raise another 4 billion? We absolutely need that revenue to survive!" edit: it also sickens me that every time a Democrat in this state wants to increase a tax, implement a new tax, or keep a tax from being repealed, it's ALWAYS labeled as a revenue generator for education. It is such a bold face lie that moronic citizens of Illinois continue to eat up. Remember how the lottery and gambling were going to fund education in the state forever and always?

StrangeSox Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Illinois' budget is pretty thoroughly f***ed for a lot of reasons, so they sort of do need that revenue to survive if you don't want huge cuts in a lot of services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
