49.6% = Non-Hispanic White
50.4% = EVERYTHING else

How the fuck is that a minority?

Thats the equivalent of saying Christians are a mintority of the all world religions, because they only make up a third of the world population.

Most biased and misleading news post I have read in a while.

That's true, but I think it's relevant to people who care about `themselves, ie. non-hispanic whites` and everybody who's not a non-hispanic white. For them they are now a minority.

Yeah that's what I meant, either way I still think it's quite interesting that over half the births arn't non-hispanic whites now. Well I'm not sure about the backgrounds in USA or how long different cultures have been there, but in the UK i would be surprised if white were under 50%.

It is still totally false information.
You cannot consider a minority when comparing to "everything else".

I am a minority because I am a male in the 20-29 age bracket and there are more people in the 30-100 age bracket.
I am also a minority because I am white, and there are more ants on the earth than white people...

i would be surprised if white were under 50%.

64.4% of children born in England and Wales in 2005 were recorded as White British

Latest figures are not released yet (due between July 2012 - July 2013), these figures have probably dropped to a little under 50% with my guess.

To be fair to the situation, as far fetched as it sounds, it does happen.
One parent thinks child is with the other and vice versa.

Although, common sense says you should never assume such event and check

Lol, doesn't look like he `accidentally` drove into the van, but he has the right to after the guy smashed his window.

[Drofder2004]

Ice Cream vans have stricts laws, and clearly these laws were being broken - especially smashing the guys window

Yeah that line is retarded.

I have a good relationship with a family, they have small kids and one of their kids (10 years old) also plays this 'game'. It's unavoidable that you have such chat on such a service tbh.

Many felt the move to mute conversations was unnecessary.

One tweeted: "Habbo Hotel has always been full of paedophiles. Avoiding them was part of the game."

That quote is fucking amazing haha.

Mr Kogan told the BBC his customers were very happy and he had received a lot of praise for his efforts.

wat?

[Drofder2004]

A company can assigna web team 6 months to come up with a brilliant website, 3 months of that time will be spent on 'how to make IE7 work'.
The tax concept is brilliant, it doesn't stop you from getting a customers order, but if they want to avoid paying a fee they must upgrade. The more people that upgrade the more time and effort can be spent on modern design principles and we can leave IE7 to rot.
