Why is it ok for Zimmerman to shoot Martin in defense, but not for Martin to attack a guy who is following him around the neighborhood?
I'm with you on the Zimmerman issue and Kinder being an idiot, but you know that attacking a guy and shooting in self-defense are two totally different issues. You can't just start wailing on somebody because you think they're a threat.
I don't know about you, but if somebody's following me around at night I'm assuming the worst and going off on him.
You can do that if you want, but that is assault, and also really dangerous and stupid.
Hey man if somebody's following me, it's not because they want an autograph.

I sometimes post BBC articles or things from the BPS but recently they have opened up their site/magazine/articles/research stuff to the public a lot more so now hopefully you will be able to view this one <.< http://digest.bps.org.uk/2014/10/other-people-can-tell-whether-your.html?utm_source=BPS_Lyris_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NewsletterSpoiler We can identify a surprising amount of information about each other from the briefest of glimpses - a process that psychologists call thin-slicing. In the latest study in this area, a group led by Nathaniel Lambert have explored whether we can watch a romantic couple interact and tell within minutes whether one of them is a cheat.
Fifty-one student participants (35 women) in a relationship answered survey questions about their own infidelities toward their current partner. They and their partner were then filmed for three to five minutes performing a drawing task, in which one person is blindfolded and the other guides them as to what to draw.
Six trained coders (one man) later watched these clips and answered questions about whether the study participant in each couple had shown romantic interest in another person; flirted or made advances toward another person; or had sex with someone else. Answers to these questions were averaged to create an overall cheating verdict.
The coders' cheating scores were correlated with the students' self confessed levels of infidelity (the beta coefficient was .32; the researchers described the effect size as "moderate"). Further analysis showed this association was not simply due to the coders judging the participants' social dominance, nor to them simply rating the male participants as more unfaithful on average. The researchers checked these possibilities because past research has linked social dominance with infidelity and because men are more often unfaithful than women.
Lambert's team think these results show we've evolved a radar for spotting cheaters, an ability they think will have helped our ancestors to thrive, given the "adverse consequences of infidelity". But what were the coders looking out for when they watched the videos?
A second study with 43 more undergrads was similar but this time the researchers also asked the coders to rate the participants' commitment and trustworthiness. Again, the coders' judgements of infidelity correlated with the students' own admissions of having been unfaithful. Moreover, the coders' judgments of infidelity were mediated by their verdicts about trustworthiness and commitment, so they seemed to be using inferences about these traits to inform their detection of cheating.
"Many people are interested in forming meaningful long-term romantic relationships and our research indicates that people may be internally programmed to identify inclinations that could be devastating to their relationship," the researchers said. "Specifically, objective coders identified cheaters, and thus individuals seeking a committed relationship may be well advised to listen to their intuition or at least think twice before committing to someone they suspect may be inclined to cheat."
Unfortunately, as well as being restricted to students and dating relationships, this research leaves many questions unanswered. We're given little information about the coders, nor the training they received. Also, although we're told the coders' cheating judgments correlated with the students' self-reported infidelity scores more than you'd expect if the coders were just guessing, it's not possible from the available data to establish the rate of false alarms - those times that the coders felt a participant was a cheater when in fact they were not. You can imagine real life accusations based on such false alarms could cause a lot of emotional damage. Finally, the study unfortunately tells us nothing about exactly what behavioural cues (such as body language and tone of voice) the coders were using to make their judgments about infidelity. The summary is that a study was conducted on whether ordinary people are able to detect infidelity between partners and they found a slight link that would indicate just that. However, this is the bit that requires highlighting - Unfortunately, as well as being restricted to students and dating relationships, this research leaves many questions unanswered.

So, thoughts on the subject? Anecdotal notes about times when you have seen this to be true? Or any criticisms of the study itself >.> And let me know if the link doesn't work <.<

He's right that a lot states should not have been allowed to join the EU though.
If it were comprised of, say, Britain, France, Germany, Benelux, the Netherlands and Scandinavia - with a smaller policy remit - it really wouldn't be a problem.
Benelux?

In the US and other western countries, being an atheist is only mildly unpopular. Being an atheist is other parts of the world will get you killed either by citizens or by the government.
Why this didn't stay in Serious, I don't know. This is a pretty serious topic. It takes some real balls to do something like that.
Well I was originally inclined to leave it there but as Door didn't actually add much to the OP and by his own admission meant to put this in the Flood... <.<
>Photoshop
>Serious
u srs?
Super srs, if Door had explained why he thought Atheists are the bravest people then it would have been fine in serious. As he didn't, it's been shuffled back to the flood >.>

And this gets to stay in serious why?
Actually, you have a good point.
I was waiting for OP to post something worthwhile and forgot about the thread.
I'm gonna be completely honest with you. I meant to post it in the Flood, but accidentally put it in Serious. I was gonna play it off like it was serious.

To answer Noelle, as it has been pointed out it's better to designate this place a shitposting zone rather than to let it clutter the forums as a hundred other threads <.<
A bit of an annoying descision, considering other "spam thread" ideas have been shot down before.
But, better late than never.
Might want to rename it though.
Hmm well I wouldn't say it's 100% officially good to go so far but it's at 30 pages and I don't see any of the other moderators having a problem with it. If things change then I'll let you all know <.<
It's official when I say it is, slut.

DID JEW NO
the second highest amount of sex change operations are performed in the islamic republic of iran
[citation needed]
Iran carries out more sex change operations than any other nation in the world except for Thailand. It is regarded as a cure for homosexuality, which is punishable by death under Iranian law. The government even provides up to half the cost for those needing financial assistance and a sex change is recognized on the birth certificate.[88]
Wot the actual frack
well it's better than just rounding up all the gays and stoning them
'ayy lmao let's cure you of your identity by chopping your dick off' Wot the actual frack
