The argument is that the test might be curved in a way that it favors whites, if I'm not mistaken. This sort of thing isn't new.

.. ITs more to it then that if they won the case in the SUPREME COURT..

This is ridiculous...

There are a few hundred positions available...

There are 26,000 applicants...

6,000 of those not hired are African American...

Did they just ignore the other 19,xxx also not hired that are not African American...?

And they say the cutoff score of 89% is racially biased? What is there argument in court, that African Americans are not smart enough to score an 89%?

If Chicago has to pay anything I am going to be pissed.

[QUOTE="clubsammich91"]Apparently this article has hit a little too close to home for some people here. I agree with what the author says about video gaming needing to grow up as a storytelling medium and how it will never do that when there are people that obsess over pixels. The piracy thing was spot on too. GreySeal9

I thought it was great that they didn't answer all the questions. Everyone here has this little thing called an imagination, I advise you use it. We'll never know what the light was at the center of the island, that's the point. It's like the light inside Marsellus Wallace's briefcase in Pulp Fiction; a plot device that lets you the viewer fill in the blank with whatever you want.

It's all the DMT from the pineal gland in your brain.

It's at least a little comforting to know that most of the people in this church are just members of Fred Phelps's huge family(He's got 13 kids, 57 grand kids and 7 great grand kids).
