My supposed privilege score is 1080. Questions: What is the point of talking about "privilege"? What is the goal in telling people that they are "privileged"? How is someone who earns a High School Diploma or College Degree "privileged"?

Perhaps you should check your understanding of my posts. I never said I was cautious of blacks. I will be cautious of people who dress like thugs regardless of their race.

I'm not living my life worried that some black person is going to attack me. If, in the course of living my life, I come into contact with a person who, by my estimation, appears confrontational or aggressive, I will, in that situation, act with due caution. Will you?

You could argue that that is the case, but consider also that there is already a natural disincentive in place to prevent employees from blowing the whistle: If their whistle-blowing leads to the closure of the station, they will be out of a job anyway. If the whistle-blowing leads to fines that...

There is no such thing as a disaster plan? Really? I guess backing up our data off-site is a waste right? If there is a disaster in our Data Center we should just say, "oh well it was a disaster. There was nothing we could have done." Let's ignore the fact that we've used such measures to...

Whether I could decipher your position or not is irrelevant. That I had to decipher your position is the point.

What is it about the quotes you posted that addresses what I posted?

It is irrelevant what the subsidiary argued. The case was not decided on their "right to lie." They have no right to distort the truth in their news broadcasts. The FCC rules clearly state that they will investigate claims of such distortion where the claimant can provide actual evidence of...

Interesting reading. I wish I had the time to spend going through the math to really understand it all. The big standout from all of the articles is the word "if." There were a lot of "what if this" and "if we assume this..." All of the sources seem to agree that there will be job losses as...

Have you considered signing up for some reading comprehension courses at your local community college? If you like, I can help you search for some that will fit your schedule. Your source as well as the Wikipedia article both state "This doctrine grew out of concern that because of the large...

I followed them fine. You avoided answering directly as hard as you could. Instead you gave gibberish and indirect answers. Which, I've noticed, is common for you.

Sounds a lot like you are a fool. As though NOT using your brain was somehow a virtue. In your business do you analyze risk before you act or do you rely on luck? Do you have a disaster recovery plan in place? Do you think ahead at all?

My mind is not numb. I am not immobilized by fear. I choose to knowingly assess the risks and rewards for a certain course of action rather than blindly trusting everything will work out right for me.

Just imagine never wearing a seatbelt or motorcycle helmet. Just imagine cars never including airbags. Just imagine not even pausing before walking out into traffic. Just imagine no fire alarms or fire sprinkler systems in any buildings. Just imagine never making a backup of your important data...

Caution is not fear. I'm certainly no dare devil, but I don't walk around shaking in my boots either. I can't imagine throwing caution to the wind and ignoring any potential source of danger just because I might be wrong and it might not actually be dangerous at all. If it makes you feel...
