Yeah, it does actually make the case for segregation. But I do think forced segregation is just as bad as forced integration. It should be allowed to happen naturally. When I was in middle school, starting in 7th grade, I got to experience first hand forced integration, including busing and...

You realize you've just compared an entire Country to a single Province, right? The US has no federal laws regarding insurance of unregulated motorists. You have to look at individual states for that, each of which can vary greatly.

I would remove "the after effects of" and go with what's left. Or, change it to "We're still dealing with the after effects of slavery." I think it will take a lot longer than another generation. For one, racism to a degree is hard coded in the DNA. It's a mechanism for the survival of the...

That looks eerily like someone in full body armor being hit with a brick while a cop in the background watches. "A successful person is one who can build a firm, solid foundation with the bricks others have thrown at them."

We already have a country with less free speech. Political correctness already affects how we think and thus how we speak. If someone is offended by something, it's often labeled as hate speech. Just the other day we had an Air Force General forced to resign for describing two officers in a...

There was no insult. If you beat your chest and talk like Rambo, you open yourself up to criticism. Fact is, most people panic when suddenly confronted, and things rarely go the way they envision it. But you're right, I don't know about your training and capabilities with a gun. So, just how...

Well, let's not so easily dismiss the fact that immediately after his initial shots at the terrorists with his pistol he was joined by several SWAT officers who also fired at the terrorists. They don't even yet know who fired the fatal shots. He and his family aren't living in their house like...

How do you feel about the name change from Memphis State? I hate it.

You don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel? Or the DOWN ARROW on the keyboard doesn't scroll?

There's really no point. Conclusions drawn from statistics are opinions. If I post something that states the opposite of what you believe the statistics to mean, you'll either dismiss it or find some fault with it. But when you see the raw statistics of the crime rates in poor back neighborhoods...

Yes, it could have. But it didn't.

It's not really about who posted what or keeping score, it's about the issues themselves. Posting silly memes and self-portraits doesn't really help, though.

Four tickets to that, please. No matter the outcome, it'll be entertaining. :D

People can look at statistics and draw whatever conclusions they like. I've seen facts that support blacks commit more crime and I've seen the same facts support just the opposite. As with any discussion of a complex issue, there are many facets that to be discussed.

Actually, what you said was, "...if someone tries to attack me with a brick they're gonna get shot." That's big talk and sounds good, and in an ideal world that's how it would happen. But you're just as likely to piss your pants and shoot yourself in the foot in a panic as you are to shoot an...

The question wasn't about what it's NOT. But thanks for playing.

Why do you suppose that is? There must be a reason.

And that's a day that I'm sure some Americans just can't wait for.

No one is saying the shooters should have escaped responsibility, either.

I wasn't talking about the Baltimore police in terms of abstract hypotheticals, I was talking about you specifically. With regard to the Baltimore police, how many police officers, in Baltimore or anywhere else, have been killed during a riot by deadly brick weapons in, say, the last 50 years?
