So whose logic is this?

In a conversation, Person 1 mentions idea A.
In response, Person 2 mentions related idea B.
Therefore, person 2 believes A = B.

Obviously someone doesn't understand how conversations work...

I don't see any claim that juries can make laws. It looks like she's talking about jury nullification, which is actually a thing— when asked to consider a charge, a jury cannot be required to explain their verdict, which means that technically they can reach a verdict not based on the facts or law.

A jury considering a murder charge can't convict someone of heresy, nor can they make heresy a crime. However, they can convict the defendant of murder because they think he's a heretic, even if they know for a fact that he's not a murderer.

OK, I'm suffering from contact hypocrisy poisoning. :(

Anyway.

That white people are the devil.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe it literally, and frankly I can understand why he'd believe it figuratively. We've done some pretty nasty shit— enforcing economic disparity, profiling, discrimination, even murdering non-white people outright. And that's just since this morning.

Neither of those people have said that.

GP Chris described racial equality as "propaganda" here. The "nonsense and propaganda" line comes from a different post, but if you want to quibble over exact words you can dig it up yourself.

Bill Brooklyn endorsed the murder of black people in the Ferguson thread shortly after Michael Brown's death— he declared that the grand jury was right to no-bill Wilson because killing Michael Brown was legal by definition, regardless of what actually happened. (Questions of fact are not the domain of the grand jury; if it's even remotely possible that a crime has occurred, they are expected to indict and allow the facts to be resolved in court. Since Bill insisted he knows what a grand jury is and what its role is, that leaves only one possibility.)

In recent threads (possibly this thread; I'd have to check), Bill endorsed the idea that simply admitting that black people face discrimination is "white guilt." He has also declared that only people "ashamed to be white" would ever consider the idea that black people face discrimination, and he uses racial slurs openly even while treating the term "white privilege" as if it were a slur.

Although honestly, I have yet to hear of someone who wasn't a racist who used the term "white guilt" in earnest, so that alone should be halfway definitive.

Q.E.D.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Latin phrase. For the physical theory, see quantum electrodynamics. For other uses, see QED (disambiguation).

Q.E.D. is an initialism of the Latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum, originating from the Ancient Greek analogous hóper édei deîxai (ὅπερ ἔδει δεῖξαι), meaning "which had to be proven". The phrase is traditionally placed in its abbreviated form at the end of a mathematical proof or philosophical argument when what was specified in the enunciation—and in the setting-out—has been exactly restated as the conclusion of the demonstration.[1] The abbreviation thus signals the completion of the proof.

Etymology and early use

The phrase quod erat demonstrandum is a translation into Latin from the Greek ὅπερ ἔδει δεῖξαι (hoper edei deixai; abbreviated as ΟΕΔ). Translating from the Latin into English yields, "what was to be demonstrated"; however, translating the Greek phrase ὅπερ ἔδει δεῖξαι produces a slightly different meaning. Since the verb "δείκνυμι" also means to show or to prove,[2] a better translation from the Greek would read, "The very thing it was required to have shown."[1] The phrase was used by many early Greek mathematicians, including Euclid[3] and Archimedes.
Modern philosophy
Philippe van Lansberge's 1604 Triangulorum Geometrić used quod erat demonstrandum to conclude some proofs; others ended with phrases such as sigillatim deinceps demonstrabitur, magnitudo demonstranda est, and other variants.[4]

In the European Renaissance, scholars often wrote in Latin, and phrases such as Q.E.D. were often used to conclude proofs.
Spinoza's original text of Ethics, Part 1. Q.E.D. is used at the end of DEMONSTRATIO of PROPOSITIO III. in the right page.

Perhaps the most famous use of Q.E.D. in a philosophical argument is found in the Ethics of Baruch Spinoza, published posthumously in 1677. Written in Latin, it is considered by many to be Spinoza's magnum opus. The style and system of the book is, as Spinoza says, "demonstrated in geometrical order", with axioms and definitions followed by propositions. For Spinoza, this is a considerable improvement over René Descartes's writing style in the Meditations, which follows the form of a diary.[5]
QEF

There is another Latin phrase with a slightly different meaning, and less common in usage. Quod erat faciendum, originating from the Greek geometers' closing ὅπερ ἔδει ποιῆσαι (hoper edei poiēsai), meaning "which had to be done". Euclid used this phrase to close propositions which were not proofs of theorems, but constructions. For example, Euclid's first proposition shows how to construct an equilateral triangle given one side. It is usually shortened to QEF.
Equivalents in other languages

Q.E.D. has acquired many translations in various languages, including:

There is no common formal English equivalent, though the end of a proof may be announced with a simple statement such as "this completes the proof", "as required", "hence proved", "ergo", or a similar locution. WWWWW or W5 - an abbreviation of "Which Was What Was Wanted" - has also been used. This is often considered to be more tongue-in-cheek than the usual Halmos symbol (see below) or Q.E.D.
Electronic forms
Main article: Tombstone (typography)

When typesetting was done by a compositor with letterpress printing, complex typography such as mathematics and foreign languages were called "penalty copy" (the author paid a "penalty" to have them typeset, as it was harder than plain text).[6] With the advent of systems such as LaTeX, mathematicians found their options more open, so there are several symbolic alternatives in use, either in the input, the output, or both. When creating TeX, Knuth provided the symbol ■ (solid black square), also called by mathematicians tombstone or Halmos symbol (after Paul Halmos, who pioneered its use as an equivalent of Q.E.D.). The tombstone is sometimes open: □ (hollow black square). Unicode explicitly provides the "End of proof" character U+220E (∎), but also offers ▮ (U+25AE, black vertical rectangle) and ‣ (U+2023, triangular bullet) as alternatives. Some authors have adopted variants of this notation with other symbols, such as two forward slashes (//), or simply some vertical white space, implying no further statements need to be made in the proof.[citation needed]
Modern humorous usage
Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections or articles. (December 2014)

Q.E.D. is sometimes jokingly claimed to abbreviate "quite easily done", or "Quit. Enough done."

In Joseph Heller's book Catch-22, the Chaplain, having been told to examine a forged letter allegedly signed by him (which he knew he didn't sign), verified that his name was in fact there. His investigator replied, "Then you wrote it. Q.E.D." The chaplain said he didn't write it and that it wasn't his handwriting, but the investigator's faulty logic caused him to point out, "Then you signed your name in somebody else's handwriting again."[7]

Thomas Dolby, in his 1988 song "Airhead", imagines a conversation with the titular young woman and says "quod erat demonstrandum, baby", to which she squeals the eager reply "ohhh, you speak French!"

Another potential English transliteration is in the movie Ice Princess. Michelle Trachtenberg's lead character Casey is a physics nerd who writes a paper on the physics of figure skating concluding she has shown passion for the topic, "QED," to which her best friend replies, "What has been Quite Easily Demonstrated?"

In the mid eighties, BBC ran a series called Q.E.D. which showed how certain things were made or put together.

Dannay and Lee, authors of the famous Ellery Queen mystery novels, often had their protagonist refer to his solving of the murder case as "Queen's Elementary Deduction".

In Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, the supervillain Owlman names the bomb that he intends to use to destroy the multiverse the "Quantum Eigenstate Device," which he abbreviates as "Q.E.D."

In the 1987 movie No Way Out, Will Patton's character Scott Pritchard, proved that Kevin Costner's character, Lt. Cmdr. Tom Farrell, was a double agent named 'Yuri', afterwards he said "quod erat demonstrandum".

In Call of Duty: Black Ops, a weapon is introduced in the final Zombies map Moon called a "Quantum Entanglement Device," also abbreviated as "Q.E.D.". This weapon has the potential to either help or harm the user in many different ways.

In the 1978 sci-fi radio comedy, and later in the TV and novel adaptations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Q.E.D." is referred to in the Guide's entry for the babel fish, when it is claimed that the babel fish is used as evidence for the non-existence of God.[8]

Well, if God said it, there's nothing more to discuss, is there?

That's Terrapin-speak for "I made it up."

But Chris just didn't bother to read your stupid comic.

He explicitly said that it was "nonsense and propaganda," and reiterated this statement several times.

As for Salaam believing that white people are the devil, that is what NOI actually believes. He has admitted to being NOI. He has also stated that white folks are the devil.

First of all, belonging to a group doesn't mean agreeing with everything that group says and does.

Second, either you or he have yet to clarify exactly what is meant by that statement— literally, it's absurd but figuratively it's perfectly understandable.

Saying it doesn't make it true.

Are you seriously going to endorse Dave's absurd suggestion that Egypt is blockading Gaza?

Her poor grasp of complex notions of constitutional law and criminal procedure does not put her in the same as category as chicagomotorman and Olog-Heil, the former being a racist retard and the latter being a severely mentally ill neo-Nazi.

Here's a quick guide to promises the army makes to you:

If it's not explicitly spelled out in your recruitment contract, it's a lie.
If you were drafted and don't have a recruitment contract, it's a lie.
If it is explicitly spelled out in your recruitment contract, it's probably a lie.
