However, there is an enormous propensity for those gene poor (females) in poor urban environments to have multiple children with multiple fathers. The fatherless rate in Detroit, for example, is simply insane.

That was my bad! A quick search on google on the subject of unwed mothers will shock anyone, by the way. Most of the numbers are presented in percentages but when you see the actual figures...well, it is really frightening.

benjoshua wrote in Former Thoughts or OT Chit-Chat Thread:I went to see the Star Trek movie, Into Darkness last night, and it was very good. It was not too long or too short, the acting was good, and the pace was constant. The bad guy is really evil, and all the characters you want to see are mostly like you want them. The only semi-negative is that Captain Kirk's head is really big. The movie hardly allows you to breathe. I have heard that some people think the plot is thin, but I thought it was fine. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. And the strange thing is, you leave the theater thinking, "That movie was just a glorified commercial for all the upcoming Star Trek movies!" I recommend you see it, even if you are not a Star Trek fan, but especially if you are. EDIT: Ah! One more thing; I have heard you do not want to see the 3D version. I saw the 2D version and enjoyed it just fine.

Here are some of them (not in order of best to worst):<snipped>I've also seen a few that were not worth watching in 3D, one of the worst was Dredd. I didn't like the way it was done.The hardware you use and the settings are important factors to getting the best 3D output.

However I didn't feel the 3D depth in IM3 <shrugs>.And I'm assuming that if you had the money for a 3D flat screen television you could have a better experience?
Police in Stockholm called in reinforcements on Friday after youths set cars and a school ablaze in a fifth night of rioting, the worst to hit Sweden for years.Pupils at a primary school in Kista - an IT hub that is home to the likes of telecoms equipment maker Ericsson and the Swedish office of Microsoft - arrived to find the inside of the small red wooden building had been completely burnt out.While Thursday was slightly calmer than the four nights before, about 30 cars were torched and eight people, mostly in their early 20s, were detained, police said.In a country with a reputation for openness, tolerance and a model welfare state, the rioting has exposed a fault-line between a well-off majority and a minority - often young people with immigrant backgrounds - who are poorly educated, cannot find work and feel pushed to the edge of society.
