http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-41398193 Seven people were arrested in Egypt after pictures of them holding up a rainbow flag at a Mashrou' Leila concert went viral. Gonna make their US shows over the next couple of weeks interesting. The last time they toured in the US it was right after the Miami club shooting.

His point is that it limited the power of slave owning states, rather than giving them a 1:1 count for slaves. In other words, paradoxically, the less that slaves counted toward the population of a state (and therefore their number of seats in Congress), the less power slave states had.

NUKES CURE NORKS posted:There is literally no situation where saying this is a valid opinion. Alright, I'll explain it for you then. Slaves are property. They have to rights to vote whatsoever. The only way they will be freed from slavery as a whole is if slavery is outlawed. This can happen via state law or federal law. The states in which they are enslaved are run primarily by slave owners, so there's no chance in hell they're going to decide to outlaw slavery on the state level. We're making a constitution to form a federal government and we're going to assign each state representation (which equals power) according to their population. Obviously all of the free people who are going to live under this government are going to be represented, and of course they would naturally want to be fully represented. But what are you going to do about all these people who are slaves and have no right to vote? They're human so technically they're part of the population, but they will under no circumstances be allowed to vote. Are you going to A) count them all as a full person which will give a ton of power to the slave states that can only be used by the portion of the population allowed to vote, which is slave owners. This means that slave states are going to have significantly more voting power per actual voter than free states(this is what the slave states wanted in real life) Or B) not count them as people at all which will make the free and slave state voters be evenly proportioned to their populations? (this is what the free states wanted in real life) Which, as a person who wants to see slavery abolished, do you pick? Two Finger posted:Hmmm yes a better solution below This is the correct choice but we have to form a government first.

Godholio posted:No it's not, and the reason was already posted. It limited the power of the slave states. Right, exactly. Cosby (the South) wants to rape (get representation for slaves), reasonable people (the North) say he shouldn't be raping at all (no representation for slaves), and the compromise is that he gets to rape some (slaves get partial representation). The absurdity of the position is that the South wanted representation for their property in the first place. Don't forget that the option wasn't just full representation and 3/5ths, the other side of the argument was no representation at all.

bird cooch posted:Why in the gently caress do fast-food places store credit card numbers? Why does anyone? Attackers usually compromise the point of sale systems themselves. If the card is swiped, the number, expiration date, CVV2, and account holder name are all readable in plaintext before being encrypted and sent to the bank for authorization. Think of it like a keylogger on your computer. If a chip is used, this information is encrypted between the card and the PoS, but mag strip systems are still widely in use at more than half of all US retailers.

Knowledge is knowing what the 3/5ths compromise was for and how it was a true compromise on several abhorrent things that tried to help. Wisdom is saying 'it was bad' and leaving it alone.
