    Are you in favor of a sugar tax in your city?

    I'm fine with a sugar tax on paper. The Seattle sugar tax was implemented by the mayor and city council (all elected officials). However, the implementation was not fair. The impact is felt disproportionately by the poor and minorities. The most obvious example is that the majority of Starbucks...

    Watch These Cops Beat Connor Castellani Until He Needs More Than 200 Stitches

    Even if the kid mouthed off (per the video), in an attempt to detain the individual (for a malicious mischief or disorderly conduct charge) use of force is not warranted in the manner shown per the video. I expect federal charges/doj lawsuit to follow if this is part of a systemic problem within...

    Question.

    In WA state a temporary license must be presented with the expired license (here the Dept. of Licensing punches a hole through the expired license upon renewal and you retain it). The policy is set by the WA Liquor Control Board (not specified in actual law), bars follow the policy so that they...

    Little Rock school district will now make teachers wear underwear

    I show up at work with a v-neck t-shirt and jeans with holes...who cares as long as I do a friggin awesome job for my employer. I think the admins are clearly focusing in the wrong area to improve student performance/academic excellence.

    Why Autumn’s murder wasn’t ‘news’

    I don't think you understand what viral media is...So you believe that Al Sharpton, President Obama (show some respect) and Jesse Jackson just constantly search for race bias in news media to then pontificate on. Or maybe the news media et al (Fox included) looks for a story with a narrative arc...

    PC Upgrading/Replacing

    I'm currently running a 3770k (@4.7 with an H80i cooler) with 16 gigs of ram (@2133) with a gtx670. Built it back in November and plan to keep it as is for a few years. From reading tomshardware the latest Haswell lineup is only 5-8% improvement which is completely negated if you're already...

    Shopkeeper in Zurich tells Oprah she can't afford a $38,000 handbag

    This thread is so sad. Kind of ashamed to be a white guy posting here after reading most of the comments.

    Shopkeeper in Zurich tells Oprah she can't afford a $38,000 handbag

    So, it's never about race? You should actually read up on Switzerland (they actually have a racism problem in their country).

    What are your five least favourite countries?

    1. Brazil - They are the most annoying gamers ever 2. France - Ever played a sport with a French dude, flop like crazy and way to much attitude for so little skill 3. Britain - Can't stand their accents and horrible tv production skills 4. Bulgaria - Just not into the name 5. Greece - I don't...

    License Plate Readers?

    Why limit data if it is lawful? Why not search later if there was a crime in that vicinity? You provide a set of criteria without actual reason.

    Confession: I have a problem with drinking...

    I enjoy an adult beverage more then I should. Whether I'm drinking away my feelings or out with a co-worker. I work 50-60 hours a week, cutting loose on the weekends actually helps me to perform better M-F. @Occam's Razor, google your own name in regards to such a convoluted hypothesis.

    License Plate Readers?

    You've never used a database...I've used similar programs (in the private industry), at this time storage is only getting cheaper. Data will never be erased and correlating data is getting easier. If you own a car, use a phone/laptop etc. you are tracked 24/7 whether you're at work (by your...

    Profiling? Or good police work?

    I don't view it as profiling. Seattle police already have a program where they mail known drug dealers and advise them that they are on a list of known criminals and that there is enough evidence to convict them of a crime. Instead of pressing charges they offer them an opportunity to change...

    Where were the Media When two Black Teens shot A White Baby in the Face Twice?
