I think people who act like punks are dumb. I took the leap that that have low IQ's. I could be wrong. If fact, I have to give people "props" who figure out how to get subsidized food, heat, free housing, free college education, and no-cost healthcare without working. It's not glamorous but it works. So while I only want to afford 2 children, other people can reproduce without an economic recourse because the government pays.

If you don't have to work in order to get by, then why pay attention in school? If you want something special, all you need to do it steal from someone else. That's the culture.

So the feel of a mixed race city is one of violence? It follows then that an all white city of the same size would be completely safe. Though you would never say that an all black city could be Pleasantville because blacks are violent folk.

Why is this crap tolerated on these boards? Especially from people who don't live or have never lived here? Especially someone from the mistake on the lake. Why are you even posting here???

Oh, I'm not talking about cushey barcalougers in some suburban enclave or a trendy 3-legged bar stool in some hipster uptown coffee shop. I'm talking about your low-life, plastic, mass-produced unimaginative good-for-nuthin food court piece of trash chair.

Many times these chairs launch themselves seemingly on their own in order to instigate even more hatred from the other side. Who will then throw their nearby chairs back in a kind of unnatural chair mixing that would seem to be the chairs' ultimate goal in starting these things in the first place.

Usually one or two alone won't pose a problem, but you get a dozen or so of these together and they just look to stir things up.

You're a genius! This only serves to prove my suspicion. It isn't the guest on the Jerry Springer show causing all the uproar, it's the chairs! They sure are sneaky. They make it look as if the guests are picking them up and throwing them at each other.

I have some chairs at home that i'm gonna keep a close eye on from now on.

I don't remember the profiles of the people arrested, but I think it's a safe assumption that they weren't black teenagers.

You bring up a great point. Thanks for the reminder.

Dude, Minneapolis and St. Paul need the suburbs more than the suburbs need Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is what it is.

Without the Suburbs, The Twin Cities would be just MPLS and STP. A nice little metro consisting of those two and a few inner-rings... It would be similar to an Indianapolis, Nashville, Milwaukee, Columbus, Austin, Cleveland.


So keep being a typical Minneapolitan that thinks the world revolves around them. You're a dense inner-city of 380,000 people. If people wanted to live there they would, but they don't, so the rest of the 3 million Twin Citians reside in Suburbs.

I'm pretty sure that if Mpls. or St. Paul did not exist, places like Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Eden Prairie etc. would still be forest and bean fields.
