How can they teach the kids right from wrong ever since the demagogues rule America?Quote:

As for being middle class, the vast majority of Americans are not middle-class but working class.
Regardless of "class" it is the responsibility of the parents to have kids when they can afford to, and educate them and teach them right from wrong. Humanity.
Black (mostly single) parents have failed to do this more than other ethnic groups.

The average worker works harder and longer hours every year, but his or her wage grows slower, if at all, than the costs of living. Living expenses are growing so rapidly because of the excessive greed for profits. The taxes they pay are used by the government not to improve their situation, but to subsidize the rich. They hear about personal responsibility in a free market economy, but can behold that the rules of capitalism only apply to them, and it's not the market who decides who makes a profit, but the elite themselves and their government. Profits are privatized and transfered abroad to avoid taxes, losses socialized. The myths of opportunity are just that, myths. The poor remain poor. That is were crime offers a shortcut to wealth.
Must rankle with you that all those "criminals" that live in your midst will be Dem voters in 2016.

Honest people have to have the right and the ability to fight back against these punks.

You like to skirt uncomfortable - for you - issues, don't you Rick.
Thank you for sorting this out. You are excluded on both accounts, honesty and ability.Quote:

You are mixing two different topics.
Yes, wages are declining. Yes, working conditions in the US are bad. Yes, only a small percentage benefit in today´s society.
But what does this have to do with parents raising their sons and daughters, mentoring them, raising them to attempt to be honest, and treat others as they wish to be treated.
Being poor does not mean a parent should not teach their kids some values and how to respect others.
You say crime is a short cut to wealth. It is not. Look at the average robbery, mugging, and burglary. How much wealth is gained. Very little.
I have lived in poverty areas in other countries and children were very poor, yet respectful and had social skills.
So disarm the hood.Quote:

That's downright appalling- and yes, it does feed into crime. In the hood, the criminal lifestyle does beckon as an alternative to the miserable life you will get from the only jobs available. I can see why many choose it.Quote:

By deciding which values are important to them, and then living by those standards, they have become extremely successful.Quote:

Condition any people at an early age that they can't be competitive on their own due to some unseen evil power holding them back, and then get them used to accepting government subsidies in everything from college admissions, to landing jobs.
The EEO and Affirmative Action instead of making the people they are supposed to help, self-reliant and self-confident has only succeeded in making those people totally reliant on governement "give mes".
All adults have to chose whether they will become criminals (and there are rich criminals as well as poor) or decent, honest people.

What is this supposed to mean? If you raise a rationale point or issue, I will respond to it. But many of your posts seem to be nothing but childish, personal attacks.Quote:

In the video that prompted me to start this thread, how did being poor motive this man to brutally beat this woman, who posed no threat to him? He could have easily tied her up, and then ransacked the place (that's what a professional would have done).
He just brutalized her because he wanted to, and, to me, that kind of behaviour has to be stopped, not rationalized.
How does being poor make people want to shoot little children?
I was raised in a housing project, and went to school wearing clothes that didn't fit, and sometimes didn't have lucnh money. I got into alot of fights growing up and has a younger adult, but I always had a reason.
I've never wanted to hurt a child or rape a woman, or just randomly attack some stranger.

I think we'd need to go back to native American days to find out. The problem isn't wealth per se, it is wealth distribution- and it's effect on consumption patterns, domestic investment, employment, household savings etc. If two working parents cannot support a family, you have to question the sustainability of the US' first world status.Quote:

Some lowlife (skinny, caucasion) was robbing a store, when a large man (also caucasion) came up behind him and grabbed him in a full nelson, and then body-slammed him facedown onto the floor. Hopefully, the would-be robber learned something the court system apparently hadn't taught him.
One for the good guys!

In the case of Zimbabwe you shouldn't point to the differences, but similarities. There are people starving in the US, without access to clean water, and dying because they couldn't afford healthcare and treatment. Like in the US, crime rates are outrageous in Zimbabwe.Quote:

It would be expensive, but the benefits for society and the many individuals who don't become victims are obvious.
The system doesn't allow it. Government enterprises musn't compete with for profit corporations. If you agree that profit must remain the top priority, you simply have to put up with crime and other grievances.
WTF? Are you sure they are "extremely smart"Quote:

I actually like some Jews, you see? Marx, Lassalle, Luxemburg. Capitalism has been a monumental failure, and the most murderous ideology in history. More than 350 million people killed in wars and genocides since the early 1800s, and is has grown ever more depraved. No doubt that it's going to crash since it depends on economic growth not sustainable with the limited resources of the planet. Questions?
