Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason


To prevent people from having to think for themselves?

They do help ignorant people rationalize their preconceived notions and judgments...so that's good. We wouldn't want those people to actually think. Probably do more damage than good.

Use common sense. Alarm clocks without a battery require a plug for power. You can see the plug in the picture.

No power, no beep.

Any other questions?

No silly, those preconceived notions and judgements exist because there is some truth to the stereotypes.

the kid said he tossed it together in like 20 minutes which to me implied that he knew it wasn't really a big deal to make.

are y'all really building a conspiracy around him using the word invention instead of something else like modded clock?

I agree.

There is a degree of truth in every stereotype.

However, extrapolating that degree of truth over an entire population is lazy and ignorant. And that is what 90% of this board does in every situation.

A cop thread is a GREAT example!

If you want some very low grade superficial thought processes to govern your world, then sure they do.

If you want be anhtnjng far removed from an apes half cousin or a brute, maybe some higher level thought and concept analysis and some understanding of more complex socio-economic, religious, and psychological concepts might help you move away from the jungle your thoughts and stereotypes failed to migrate from

More low grade thought analysis.

Read a book.

I bet you white racism may have played a minor part in the genesis of it.

Or you an just continue the whole cognitive dissonance game that conveniently supports and protects your sensibilities

If Obama cheated on Michelle with a goat humpers wife their illegitimate love child would have looked like this kid.

Meanwhile cops and soldiers are dying everyday and nothing from the White House.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that if a muslim kid brings a box into school that clearly resembles a bomb and ignores requests to put it away, people will be suspicious? It's called deductive reasoning. You should try it sometime.

Again, there is almost no way you aren't trolling with this craziness.

I have no idea why everyone goes full retard with this

the thing was definitely trolling, but he shouldn't have been arrested, it should have been treated like all the other zero tolerance cases with an suspension
