Seems as though you are the one who forgot what you were arguing. The question was why black on black crime is the highest. You said it was because of the drug war. In this very post you state that whites sell drugs too. So you basically just contradicted yourself. Good job!The risk. It’s illegal and dangerous. Hence the only ones willing to take the risk are those at the bottom of the ladder with the least to lose. This is completely obvious. How many of the drug dealers that you know came from middle class backgrounds? Very few. What are you even trying to argue here? Lots of poor whites selling drugs in rural America.
If a guy named Screwduke and one named Duke4life can have a civil conversation and even like each other's posts, does that mean there's hope for libs and conservatives to play nice on here?I dont think this is the thing to put your foot down when it comes to spending. But at the same time I completely get what he's doing. He knows he's going to get a ton of backlash from this but he is sticking to his principles, which is one of the reasons Im a big fan of his.
There have been a few things that he has gone against the grain and voted no on, because of this reason. His entire thing is all about getting spending in check, whether he thinks it is good spending or not, he doesn't want to add any new spending until we fix our out of control spending that we currently have.
So ya a part of me wants to say, if there is a time to check your principles its on this. But the other part of me thinks, this is the kind of mindset we need if we ever have a chance to fix our spending. So hard for me to get too up in arms about a guy sticking to his principles.
Agreed. I don't think Trump plays 4D chess either. I just think when he does or says something stupid, the democrats do something even more ignorant in response. Such fine shape American politics is in.Haha honestly they just suck at being politicians
I dont think Trump is playing 4D chess when everyone else is just playing checkers. I think Trump puts his foot in his mouth from time to time, but the rest of the people are beyond capable of doing anything without putting their foot in their own mouth, then shooting their foot. Then Trump is at least smart enough to spin just enough to take advantage of their mistakes.
Imo the best thing about his presidency is hes unmasked what a pos all these ppl are on both sides as well as the media.Agreed. I don't think Trump plays 4D chess either. I just think when he does or says something stupid, the democrats do something even more ignorant in response. Such fine shape American politics is in.
Bullshit. We give each other hell on here but we don't do what you did and you know it. You crossed the line and you should apologize.Just trying to fit in. Hate is the default mode around here.
You don’t understand, they want to take the profits from men’s soccer and give it to women’s soccer to make it fair.You know what will happen when you force soccer to pay women as much as men? You'll have no more women's soccer because it will go bankrupt. Players are paid based on the amount of money they are bringing in. Women don't draw as much of a viewership, therefor their monetary value isn't as high. But go ahead and force them to pay more. They will just do away with women's teams and then we can laugh at what you caused.
Damnit you are right. My bad. It totally slipped my mind there for a moment that liberals are the party of thieves. Oopsie.You don’t understand, they want to take the profits from men’s soccer and give it to women’s soccer to make it fair.
He says he wants it paid for first...meaning he wants spending cut elsewhere first bc we will be paying for it for the next 70/80 years and to do it without raising taxesI am having a hard time understanding why Rand Paul did what he did today. I can't imagine anyone being that cruel. Get his ass out.
Willy has spent years establishing himself as the resident comedian. Everyone knows not to take him seriously. No one else gets away with it, including conservatives. You responded to someone who was being serious, telling a personal story. Of course you don't see the difference because as a liberal, the part of your brain that processes self awareness is either damaged or has never developed.Hard pass. Most of Willy's posts tonight or any night are worse than what I said. But y'all gotta run to the mods and cry about it. Rightwing snowflakes can't handle a liberal with balls.
As explained in the original post, the difference in violence is population density. If you took all the meth cookers in Missouri and dumped them in a single neighborhood you'd have chaos. If you took all the bangers in Chicago and spread them out from West Virginia to Tennessee they wouldn't be shooting each other over who's corner it was to sell on, they'd be doing business. The demographic for crime is desperate people, not white or black. Rural dealers just have far fewer people around, which means less competition, security risks, and collateral damage. All of which adds up to far fewer deaths for the exact same business.Seems as though you are the one who forgot what you were arguing. The question was why black on black crime is the highest. You said it was because of the drug war. In this very post you state that whites sell drugs too. So you basically just contradicted yourself. Good job!
So it's only black people dealing drugs in the inner cities, no white people?As explained in the original post, the difference in violence is population density.

Nah probably not. Oh well.
If you can find a place where they isolate poor urban white drug violence and poor urban black drug violence I'd love to see the statistics. You're arguing that young black men shoot each other why then? Just cause they enjoy it?So it's only black people dealing drugs in the inner cities, no white people?
Just a daily reminder..let's revisit AOC's reason for not letting Amazon in:
"If we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest those $3 billion in our district ourselves, if we wanted to," she said in February. "We could hire out more teachers. We can fix our subways. We can put a lot of people to work for that money, if we wanted to."
In other words, she doesnt understand how tax incentives work. She doesnt understand the 3 billion only exists if Amazon is there bc of the tax collected. It's not just a magical 3 billion laying around.
This is why socialists are idiots and cant be taken serious. They dont understand reality
I'm arguing that there is a culture problem that needs to be addressed within the black community, particularly in urban areas. Blacks can and have walked away from that life style and become successful. I disagree with a lot of the drug war, but it's not the cause of black on black violence. Gang violence has a lot more to it than just drugs being illegal.If you can find a place where they isolate poor urban white drug violence and poor urban black drug violence I'd love to see the statistics. You're arguing that young black men shoot each other why then? Cause they enjoy it?
In real life, I've said it since around 2014. But, it's whateverYoure late on this. There have been multiple TED talks about this and trying to make this point.
Trump is out here with a bunch of fake blondes behind him, cheering on his elementary rants. SMH. This is how he won in 2016. A bunch of morons who spend too much time on Facebook. Those people still exist, which is why he’ll win again in 2020. Lowbrow “conservative women” who vote how their daddy and husband votes.
People can vote however they want. That’s all fine and dandy.
Dumbass white girls who “follow orders” are the worst though. So predictable and easy to manipulate. Especially in the south. You’re probably married to one, my bros.
You probably open their passenger-side truck door, don’t you? At the nicest Rafferty’s in town. Then guide them back in, as you hold your doggy bag of shitty leftovers. Wow.
Don’t get pissy, my bros. Just accept it. You are the simplest of simpletons. LMAO!!!
We have had plenty of good economies the last 30 years but nothing I would call booming. Clinton came close but we all know now it was just a bubble waiting to pop. ..
Who is raping and killing children and babies. You seriously like hurting children and condemn consensual sex? You are a pervert and a criminal. You lefties have lost your minds.Who paid a porn star not to say he cheated on his 3rd wife
False, your postings suggest otherwise. Your lying does too.You lost that bet
That's racist of him to post.So it's only black people dealing drugs in the inner cities, no white people?
Hate, just pure evil hate.If you can find a place where they isolate poor urban white drug violence and poor urban black drug violence I'd love to see the statistics. You're arguing that young black men shoot each other why then? Just cause they enjoy it?
I'm posting this again bc it's so great. Dont get me wrong, AOC will still win unless she gets primaried bc this district would vote for a trash can as long as there is a D beside it. However, airhead cant debate and only pretend shes a victim and call everyone racist and sexist when shes asked a tough question. She'll actually have to show her brain can compute, and since it cant just make herself look like a bigger fool even if she wins.
I am having a hard time understanding

What about propane & charcoal grills????And you thought they were going to stop with dirty coal.
Berkeley becomes first U.S. city to ban natural gas in new homes

"It's an enormous issue," Harrison told The Chronicle. "We need to really tackle this. When we think about pollution and climate change issues, we tend to think about factories and cars, but all buildings are producing greenhouse gas."
The city will include commercial buildings and larger residential structures as the state moves to develop regulations for those, officials said.
The ordinance allocates $273,341(good work if you can find it) per year for a two-year staff position in the Building and Safety Division within the city's Department of Planning and Development. The employee will be responsible for implementing the ban.
Mayor Jesse Arregun called the ordinance innovative and groundbreaking.
"I'm really proud to be on this City Council to adopt this groundbreaking ordinance. ... We know that the climate crisis is deepening and is having cataclysmic impacts," he said at the meeting. "Warmer temperatures and the year-round fire season the melting of the polar ice caps, growing sea level rise, all these conditions prove that we are in real trouble and that we have to take bold action now."
There goes the one voice of color. Dam. And are people supposed to vote for the person with the most "color"?I'm posting this again bc it's so great.
