Trump Has A Mandate

[ok doser]

...I lived in Canada for many years and it was freezing cold there for 7, sometimes 8 months out of the year........

:freak:


where did you live?

nunavut?


northwest territories?



i live between ottawa and kingston (roughly) and we're not that bad

i noticed you haven't addressed my "i'd hire ben carson to do brain surgery..."

I'm of the opinion that any real Christian would have not voted. You voted for a smut peddler that owns casinos and strip clubs, that's an adulterer, on his third or fourth wife. There's nothing Christian about lending your support to that. Donald Trump living openly and unrepentant in this filth and makes money from it would not have been permitted to be in the Church if Paul was still on the earth. But he's good to run the country? Give me a break.

Yeah, those real Christians just sit back judging other people while ignoring their own faults. If you're going to judge, then judge righteously....not as the pharisees did. Trump was not seeking an eldership in any church. Are you suggesting Paul would not allow such a horrible sinner to walk through a church door? Hypocrite!

Um, because the person in question is eminently qualified for the job? If you're going to dismiss a black person from the position simply because you think he's likely unable to swim then that's as racist as it is ignorant, though of course the two usually go hand in hand.

Who said the person in question is imminently qualified for the job? Do you know for a fact that he can swim?

 

[ClimateSanity]

You're a prejudiced racist and you don't even know it.

Prove that I'm racist or prejudiced. I have two hours . Please do not respond to anyone but me for the next two hours. That is a disgusting thing to charge me with.

I split time between Toronto and Thunder Bay, :idunno: . Even Toronto had chilly nights generally from the last of September to mid April. I also grew up in the southern US, though. My ideal of freezing cold is probably far different than yours, but probably not the stereotypical person of african descent, if you believe that stereotype.

 

[glorydaz]

Actually, it does make you racist. You just stereotyped a bunch of races. Let's see how you explain why you wouldn't hire a black lifeguard.

Blacks have denser bones.

Well nobody, I said 'eminently' qualified and for most positions of employment you have to be able to show that you display at least some relevant skills for the job. For a lifeguard then being able to swim is one of the most essential requirements, so why would you presume a black man wouldn't be qualified?

Changing the subject I see. Racist doesn't mean "I think everyone of X race is bad at everything". It means you assume someone has particular abilities or lack thereof based on their skin color.

Skin color is simply the amount of melanin in your skin. It doesn't necessarily correlate with ancestry composition. And as far as DNA is concerned there's far more genetic diversity in all of Africa than all of Europe. That means as a general rule, two black people are more different from each other at the genetic level than they are from you. That also means there's no real genetic basis for "race" at all.

And that means there's no genetic basis for stereotypes about them based on skin pigmentation. Obviously there are things that actually have to do with skin pigmentation like resistance to sunburn and vitamin D synthesis.

 

[Quincy]

Also, why would anyone apply for a position of lifeguard if they can't actually swim?

:freak:

Maybe CS just thinks that a black man would go for such a job as a joke?

:idunno:

I'm white (mostly) and I can't swim. I also loathe the idea of being a lifeguard, regardless. I dislike the sun, tanning lotions and slow motion running along the beach. /end of debate :chuckle:

I don't presume it. I just base my decision to hire on statistics unless the person has a proven ability to swim.

Maybe he just understands there are actual differences between the races....just as there are between the sexes.

 

[ok doser]

I did actually.

well, the one in my initial scenario couldn't

so there

 

[Town Heretic]

Give us a few, outside of the cosmetic.

Why presume at all? Why not just ask the pertinent questions and for the requisite references? Why assume anything?

:idunno:

So, in your mind, only qualified people ever apply for jobs . Have you always been qualified to do all the skills listed on a job description when you applied?

Mrs Clinton is at 62.2, even counting the illegal aliens in California. Trump about 62.9. This was counted weeks ago, the grapes are just getting more sour.

You know for a fact that all black applicants for a life guard position are imminently for the job? How would you know this?

 

[glorydaz]

It's because blacks have heavier bones and they know it. You don't see many black swimmers or lifeguards for the simple reason that it's harder for them to perform what needs to be done in competition and life saving. They are physically equipped for jumping, though, and they make a lot of money in basketball because of that. We each have our gifts.

 

[ok doser]

statistically speaking, blacks are less likely to be good swimmers, they are more likely to have IQ scores lower than whites (who are more likely to have IQ scores lower than asians), they are more likely to have higher concentrations of fast-twitch muscle fibers, higher bone density, higher frequencies of certain diseases (sickle cell, htn..)

Don't believe it. Look it up. I've been a water safety instructor for years. Bone density, amount of fat, more flexible tendons. There are differences in the races.
