Hmmm,
Looks somewhat like a carrot, which makes member 11095207 the nibbling rabbit.

Welcome to Codeproject!
We hope you will enjoy your visits here, but there are some simple rules you need to follow:
1) No spam. Since your username looks like a domain-without-the-".com"-bit it's possible that you signed up to see if you could spread links for free. If you do, you will be shut down in short order and kicked off the site. (The CP community is pretty good about that - they know that this site exists only because of advertising, and that spam reduces the value of the site to advertisers. We want this place to survive, so we kick spammers off quickly, and little or none of their actual spam gets through to be seen by Google or anyone else.)
2) Post in the right place: there are forums for discussions of various subjects: Discussion Boards[^], a Quick Answers area: Ask A Question[^], and articles on just about every development subject know to coders: Artciles Site Map[^]. Any member can post a message, ask a question, write an article, or use code you find here (subject to licence conditions - if any - which are spelled out with the code).
3) No abuse, no flame wars, no swearing, no trolling, ... you get the idea.
Have a look around, talk to people, enjoy yourself!

Don't be that surprised... that kind of news probably don't reach the other side of the ocean  
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Now I'm more confused. I googled belarus and an article came up about protests that look like protests everywhere else in the world.
How hard is it to just put a few words down to explain your post?

Because it is not really allowed to do it here (political ...). I simply tried to push some thought for the people fighting for their rights there.
And a little disappointed that you had to google that news
On the other hand, pleased that you googled this and now you know what I meant

Actually, I still don't. A large percent of people protesting in the US are idiots and are in the wrong so some would claim they are fighting for their rights when in fact they are not. So, no, I have no idea what is the story in Belarus.
Everything could be solved if people would stop being idiots. Simple.

 Let's wait after the elections in US
[Edit]
Wait in case the previous fart wins again. Still I trust the Americans who haven't had brain damage.
And that was now probably too political and will cost me my account.
So I say goodbye  but it was worth it

I'm sorry, what?
You call people protesting for equal treatment under the law "idiots"?
Well, the says everything I need to know about you.

And now _please_ stop both. The only thing I wanted to do with my initinal post was to think of the people in Belarus who have to suffer a lot for their protests

First off, most people protesting are not protesting for that. And secondly, yes, because the law already treats them as equals. Point me to one law that does not. Just one. Any one? I'll wait.

You might want to actually talk to protesters.

It's not the laws that are different, it's the application of them that is.
Why are Black people 5 times more likely to be stopped without cause than a white person? Why are the same number of Black people shot and killed by cops as White people, but only make up 13% of the population? Why are Black people 6 times more likely to be convicted compared to White people committing the same crimes? Why are Black people sentenced to 20% more prison time than Whites in the same situations?
But yeah, you keep living in your little bubble.

That's not a statistic that can be tracked. Is it true? Who knows.
Dave Kreskowiak wrote: Why are the same number of Black people shot and killed by cops as White people,
Your stats are wrong. The same amount of unarmed Hispanics are killed by cops every year as are blacks but can you name even one of them? Almost double the amount of unarmed white people are killed by cops every year but can you name even one of them?
Dave Kreskowiak wrote: Why are Black people 6 times more likely to be convicted compared to White people committing the same crimes?
Why? Because a judge sees a black person and automatically thinks guilty? I think you are projecting here. And this is another statistic that cannot be tracked. If they committed the crime then they get sentenced or have better lawyers or whatever it is. But it's not a nation of judges who are all racist. That's the only way your narrative can stand, is to say that nearly all judges are racist. You really think that?
Dave Kreskowiak wrote: Why are Black people sentenced to 20% more prison time than Whites in the same situations?
Because every judge in the nation including the black ones are racists against blacks. Of course.
You are projecting way too much here. Have a good day. And find some accurate stats.
You should look into culture and poverty and that will open up a whole new meaning to your stats.

I don't smoke. I talk to my neighbor on one side of me that were attending the protests in Detroit and then the two cops, from two different departments, I live next to.

Well, the FBI, United States Sentencing Commission, NAACP, University of Michigan Law School, National Criminal Justice Reference Service, Pew Research, and many others, would disagree with you.
I'm not projecting anything at all. I just read the stats and reports from the above pages, among others.

It's all over the news here in Europe. Demonstrations against corruption and violence by police and security services. Especially after another fixed election to keep the incumbent president in power.

I am not saying you are wrong but it is hard for me to believe that statement outright because in the US, our corrupt media will print that exact headline if a certain someone gets reelected. I don't know what the media is like in other countries but our media is so corrupt and full of lies that when someone posts something from the news it's hard to take it serious.

My statement was a generalisation of things written by different journalists, most of whom I know to be reasonably trustworthy. It is also echoed by politicians across Europe. And just as in the US there are elements of the media here that I never listen to, knowing that they are biased at the very least.

I had a discussion with a mate yesterday who's definitely an A type and all business. He can't stand a conversation where someone beats around the bush and things became extremely tense after a few poor choices of words from me. well - I thought they were excellently chosen. He begged to differ in no uncertain terms.
It turns out, after we'd both put the brakes on the conversation and did a real-time collaborative debug session on our conversation (how does the world survive without us developers making life logical??) that the issue was one of humour. Specifically, he doesn't get Aussie humour. At all.
Do you find conversations with those from a different culture a bit of a mine field? I honestly thought that with all of us interacting with half a dozen cultures over the course of our daily lives we'd mostly be over this issue by now, but the specific issue of humour seems to be something that I need to absolutely avoid for certain audiences. I'd get away with talking about sex, religion and politics better than I would cracking a joke in some cases.
cheers
