I've heard this said of Fox "News", but never of CNN.



This had me WTF. The neighborhood where I grew up was predominantly black. They shot off fireworks and guns on New Years. The neighborhood I live in as an adult is primarily white, there were guns and fireworks going off. My family (which consists of immigrated from Mexico, 1st and 2nd gen adults and children) has been known to light fireworks.

I don't understand why they felt the need to point out that one particular ethnic group blows shit up when others do the same as well.

Whoever wrote that shit is bad.
40 million are hispanic, millions more(millions more than 40 million?!) are in the united states illegally.

lol wtf.

Yeah that's even more WTF.
Fireworks happen the world over, and have absolutely nothing to do with ethnic/racial identity. Hell, it was the Chinese who started that shit thousands of years ago.

I'm as white as can be, a European mutt, and absolutely love setting off fireworks.
Based on the map site posted in the Census map thread, where I live is 97% white.
LOTS of fireworks on 4th of July.
And New Years. And at least two other holidays throughout the year.

They must be learning this stuff from Hispanics on TV, it's the only explanation.
:awe:

Haven't they ever lived through a severe thunderstorm with some hefty lightning strikes? Or a tornado?

You know, I wonder if it has anything to do with the polar reversal.
There's already been multiple small pockets of polar reversal, as the field is slowly growing a little more instable. :)

NO, then we would have dead birds all over the world, this was just in that town.

[Why I'm doing this, I don't know.]

Do you have any clue WTF you are talking about?
Do you even know what the polar reversal actually means?
Do you know how it will happen? For that matter, do you know how it is already happening at this very moment? You do know, for that matter, that it is very slow, and pockets of instability will occur throughout the world, in a fairly random process, for an unpredictable amount of time, before it finally just flops on us, and then goes through another period of instability before it stabilizes all backwards on us..... .... right?

Just checking, because if you're not trolling, you really need to just go to google and do some learning. If you're trolling, then fuck off; if you're not, then I'm not doing the work for you.

To help in your research, it should be made known that there have already been multiple pockets of reverse polarity. It doesn't happen at once, it doesn't happen in a fluid motion. In the time of instability, it just sort of goes crazy for a little awhile, until it settles into its new rhythm.


With that said, I have no idea how any of this actually will impact any animals that tap into the geomagnetic field; theories discuss the impact it will have on migratory behavior, but mankind has never experienced a polar reversal, so it's all fairly new. Yet on that note, it's not a crapshooter theory, because the evidence is popping up all around us that readily supports the discoveries of yesteryear.
