And yet we have so many extreme conservatives who advocate for businesses being able to pay employees the very lowest amount of money they can, fighting against minimum wage and labor laws, and also saying that the individual applying for the job actually has negotiation power
Please name those "many extreme conservatives" who advocate for businesses paying employees the lowest amount they can, et al. You've been brainwashed by Democrap propaganda.
How about the 10 Most Dangerous Cities in the US....
1. Flint, MI
2. Detroit, MI
3. Oakland, CA
4. St. Louis, MO
5. Memphis, TN
6. Stockton, CA
7. Birmingham, AL
8. New Haven, CT
9. Baltimore, MD
10. Cleveland, OH
What do all these cities have in common? They are run by Democrats.
I'm ain't mad at you. It takes time to digest information that seems contrary to what you've been led to believe. Here ... you may like this. It's science! How can you dispute or argue with science!
And just because I'm sharing some information with you doesn't mean that I'm an, "angry, liberal, black man" .... what's that old saying ... "anything you see in me, you see in yourself"?
All it just means I'm too aware to believe in that puke you've been swallowing all these years. It's 2013 folks.... time to do some evolving.
Thank Goddess that everyone won't see things exactly like I do or believe in everything I do. Like I say... everything Conservative or Republican ain't wrong. But if you're unable to discuss like an adult ... if all you can do is oppose and throw names around ... well ... then that's the kind of "conversation" third graders have. "... you... you have snot on yer nose ... ... so thar!" I'm bored ... tired of hearing the same old retarded stuff.
C'mon folks. I'm American too. (By the way, none of you red blooded patriots have come forth with when you signed in an served...) I have faith in both my country and my countrymen and women. I'm saying we can do better than just be led like sheep to slaughter.
Tell you what... let me share with you how Europeans were able to become world leaders. No... it's genetics and not shame stuff. Quite interesting. Told by a blond haired, blue eyed guy with two Ph.D.'s:
Yeah, in 2003 they were almost at 0.2% of the US gun homicide rate for that year. Poor defenseless buggers.
(It's not "violent crime", it's "gun crime". Including dumbass wanna-be gangstas gang members being stopped with their pathetic assortment of WWII relics.)
I dunno about the gun issue.
Yeah ... it can be said that there are too many guns in the U.S. -- but since it's written into the Constitution, one could argue that it's a part of the culture by now and since money drives, I don't see it changing any time soon.
Plus, people are so paranoid now.
Americans are constantly told they should fear this or that... stock market crashes, their President, their neighbors, their neighbors children, their neighbors, their neighbor's dogs, car salesmen, food, sex, love, lovers ... it's insane. But look at even this short list... sorry to sound like I'm beating a dead horse.. but it's Attachment issues again.
When we're raised in ways that stunt inner self-resiliency, people feel weaker, more vulnerable, and seek to "self-sooth" with things that will reassure them. (Everything from sex to guns.)
I don't think it's an "all or nothing" thing.
How can we compare an aging, rural community where most folks have guns to protect the chickens from coyotes .. to inner city Chicago?
Wait ... maybe we can.
There may be less violence in most rural areas because ... there's less population density.
That video I posted on Social Engineering called, " Human Resources" states that they KNOW that "designed crowded conditions cause, "designed aggression" and "designed frustration."
It's so easy to sit back and say... "oh, it's the government's fault" or some other easy answer.
"If they only put prayer back in schools, we'd all be singing Kumbya..."
"Without guns, no one would die..."
But while there's few guns in Japan... they're cutting and stabbing they hell outta each other with knives and swords! Swords.
A quick pill for coughing won't cure asthma.
It's who we are.
How we raise children ... the way we allow our egos to be massaged.
The problem is us-- not an object.
I don't like these facts! Give me some other facts!
Ummm...ok. Nice cherry pick. . What "facts" am I in denial of? I have been very concise is explaining why I dispute this statistical list, which you decided to omit, in order to make this statement fit your quip. The "facts"am are, that NV only has TWO places that can be considered "urban". Obviously, the bulk of my states population resides in these. Vegas, and Reno/Sparks, which can also include Carson City, since the proximity is so close. Vegas, certainly, has crime issues, that I readily acknowledge. It's a septic tank, actually. Reno/Sparks/Carson does to. But, nowhere near Vegas. There is still a goodly number of people who live in the outlying areas of the Reno/Sparks metro. Fernely, Fallon, Yerington, and a few other, sizable bedroom communities. All of these are quiet, layed back and friendly areas. Crime is VERY low, and is mostly drug use based. The Reno area, itself, is hardly a pit of mayhem. Compared to Sacremento, it's a farm town. We, here in the Northern part of NV, consider Vegas to be an invasive extension of CA, specifically LA and it's corresponding, violent crime, is is a reflection on that. Consequently, yes, I resent my state being listed like this, because of Vegas, and its CA infection.
I feel no obligation, whatsoever, to accept these "facts"you insinuate I am in denial of. I love my state, and having it run down by someone who resides in the state that has spread its disease to us, also causes some resentment.
LMAO...NV is #2 huh? How can a whole state be judged by ONE metro area? 95% of the bad crime happens in Vegas. Where, btw, CCW laws are more restrictive than they are here in the North. NV is a huge state, mostly very rural, and we are more dangerous, because of Vegas, than Il is because of Chicago? I'm noy buying in. BS alert.
Yeah, but don't about 95% of the people in Nevada live in and around Las Vegas? Coyotes, mustangs, cows, and sagebrush don't count.

Dane_in_LA .... finally an adult! :)
.... what's that old saying ... "anything you see in me, you see in yourself"?
... so thar!" I'm bored ... tired of hearing the same old retarded stuff.
