Just as you make excuses for the underclass ghetto dwellers. Why do the rich need an excuse to spend their own money?

Now you've moved from excusing the rich for their crimes to flat out lying. Where? where did I excuse anyone. Continue to show your ignorance. Poor thing.

I have not made any excuse for anyone, crime is wrong period, it just happens to be much higher in poor communities. Sometimes, I wonder about your perception of things.

My response to you was, you should have just left it at "yes it happens and it is wrong".

Once you included "but" you were making an excuse using zip code and income level for crime. A victim doesn't care if the person is rich or poor. You then decided to turn it personal. Yes perception is everything, crime is crime no matter the zip code, income level or who's in office at the time

I'm afraid to ask you what you think we should do about the poor children - who have no say or power in their lives - but who go to be hungry every night?
Nope he is right. In America being poor is really a lifestyle choice. If you graduate from high school, have your first kid when you are 18 and older and married you have a 2% chance of being poor.

Poor Black communities. There are numerous places in this country that are poor and have low rates of crime. El Paso, TX comes to mind for example.

It was about drug use, which in my eyes is not a crime, and if people who earn their own money want to waste it on drugs, so be it. People who are dependent on the welfare system taking drugs, are using public money to support their habit. It is wrong because they are freeloading.

He's been saying the same thing for months. Funny how saying it point blank is now considered to have been 'misspeaking.'
