Cameron gets to see IDS and Gideon on a daily basis. If he didn't like seeing tits daily that would be unbearable.

Jedit posted:Apparently Manchester Town Hall want to ban pro-Palestine protests on King Street because they're anti-Semitic. Why did I have to come home for a weekend? I work in town and honestly when the protestors have been shouting "gas the Jews" and putting graffiti and banging windows of shops that are just near an Israeli owned shop then even I think they might have gone a bit far. I know Jewish people who are scared to even go into the city centre at the moment.

People should hate on the Israeli government due to all the civilians they've bombed maimed and killed but yeah, that stuff is definitely beyond the pale. Even beyond the fact that you're scaring the daylight out of people who have as little responsibility with what's going on in Israel than the average UK citizen has for the Iraq war it also harms the cause they say they are fighting for immensely. Bah. Anyway, I just came across this gem from Osborne, I don't remember it being shared here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...revolution.html He is commissioning studies to make the City ready for the forthcoming cryptocurrency revolution...

Oh for gently caress's sake, we're employing polygraphs now.The Guardian posted:Lie detector tests monitoring the behaviour of released sex offenders across England and Wales have begun this week, amid calls for the technology to be used more widely in police investigations. Oh but that's not all... The Guardian posted:Grubin said he has received expressions of interest from other police forces who are interested in lie detectors for investigations and held discussions with those who think it could be useful in the pre-employment screening of those who work with children. Let paedogeddon commence... Is everyone involved in this a credulous fool? Thankfully it seems not...but they're being ignored. The Guardian posted:Many scientists are sceptical about the effectiveness of polygraph testing. Dr Síle Lane, campaign director at Sense About Science, condemned the introduction of lie detectors. "They are not accurate," she said. "They have been shown time and time again not to be able to detect lies. If they work at all it is as a deterrent effect. It's because someone has been told an untruth that they work. Still, we've let the charlatans into our criminal justice system...

It also doesn't help that Israel considers every Jew in the world (apart from the black ones) a rightful citizen of Israel and they just haven't returned home yet. It's hardly surprising that Jews worldwide are being held accountable for Israel's actions when Israel goes out of its way to conflate Jewish person and Israeli. Disgusting and counterproductive, but hardly surprising.

HortonNash posted:Oh for gently caress's sake, we're employing polygraphs now. Oh please, they're not called "lie detectors" for nothing  I agree though they are terrible. Don't they just measure things like heart rate and sweatiness? i.e. markers of anxiety or nervousness rather than lies. It's great that this time last year some guy got jailed for selling sticks on a box as a bomb detector to 3rd world countries, and now our judicary want to use a similarly lovely technology (perhaps even worse since there's a shred of legitimacy to polygraphs).

You can fool a polygraph 100% of the time by biting your tongue hard before you answer a question. They are literally on the same plane as reading the stars or reading tea leaves.

winegums posted:Don't they just measure things like heart rate and sweatiness? i.e. markers of anxiety or nervousness rather than lies. Heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, skin conductivity (sweatiness) are the main ones measured, but they also put sensors under your bum to make sure you're not clenching your anus (a trick to deceive the examiner is to clench your anal sphincter hard). It's all down to the interpretation of the traces by the examiner, and that's entirely subjective and two different examiners will often disagree. It's a big ol' scam.

Penn and Teller are two huge lolbertarians but they did a pretty good episode of Bullshit on polygraphs. They are entirely bullshit and virtually all usable information usually comes from the post and pre test interviews as the entire procedure is designed to worry and scare people into having a frank conversation with the bullshit peddler doing the test. They have been inadmissible in courts for quite some time and for good reason.

Collective punishment, whether done by artillery lobbed into Gaza or a brick through the window of a schmutter shop, is not okay. Like "is an actual war crime if done by a state" levels of not okay - and one would hope Israel of all nations would be aware of the problems of collective punishment but there you go. You can't justify violence against Jewish people simply because they are Jewish (which is the situation I was referring to) without putting yourself in some very, very unpleasant company.

It's hardly surprising that Jews worldwide are being held accountable for Israel's actions when Israel goes out of its way to conflate Jewish person and Israeli. Disgusting and counterproductive, but hardly surprising. I've spent time in Israel and the racial politics within it are insane even before we get to the non-Jewish population. It's almost wrong to call it apartheid because that was a much simpler two-tier system. A white Christian has an easier time than a Falasha or Mizrahi.
