You are correct. But his is a role model to his community, and making statements like that, especially the last part, it surely under minds the killing of white by blacks.

By focusing on just the racial aspect, the discussion becomes about whether Michael Brown’s death—or that of the other three unarmed black men who were killed by police in the U.S. within that month—is about discrimination or about police justification. Then we’ll argue about whether there isn’t just as much black-against-white racism in the U.S. as there is white-against-black. (Yes, there is. But, in general, white-against-black economically impacts the future of the black community. Black-against-white has almost no measurable social impact.) - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Finally, your federal government has decided to help build the long awaited border fence...in Ukraine. More than $400,000 has been allocated for razor wire to -- quote -- "defend the newly imposed borders between Ukraine's mainland and the Crimean Peninsula and to strengthen Ukraine's eastern border." That spending is not sitting well with some. One lawmaker tweeted -- quote -- "So Obama can give money to Ukraine to build a border fence...but can't find the money to do that here? #Unacceptable."

So I guess white parents should have "The Talk" as well. Did this outrage you Big Girl...   [Hidden Content]

Well, If it means anything other than FOOD....I'd have to agree with the tax. If you don't have money, one shouldn't be purchasing "toys" (unnecessary) items anyway.    That's part of the problem, people aren't "ENTITLED" to a certain level of life, just life itself. But this has been discussed many times on other threads....the battle of those who believe in entitlements and those who don't. OR is it...the argument of what one should be ENTITLED to.

[Hidden Content]   Sports in schools, what's the main purpose anyway?   A) Athletic Scholarship B ) School Pride C) Keep kids off the streets and in school D)_____________(other)       A) Most if not all (other than football) are earned in a "club" or "select" atmosphere anyway B ) IMO the most reasonable purpose because in most cases (other than football) it's watered down competition anyway, so it really serves no other purpose. C) This is a parenting issue and could be a topic of it's own (schools shouldn't be babysitters before, during, or after school) D) To give a person the highlight of their life, when i played ____ (fill in the blank) in high school, i was this, or I was that, and I made the All _____(fill in the blank) team....I was good man.   Moving in the direction public school intermural sports would not be a bad thing....wanna play...PAY! It's not a "right" , they don't "deserve" the opportunity, HS sports shouldn't be the highlight of your life.   What about the "poor" kids? Well, they exist in "club" or "select" sports already....fundraisers and/or sponsors pay for them to play....I would know (15 years in select sports...softball) Several kids (almost like my own) that would otherwise not have been able to attend college, have gotten scholarships, including from our select organization.   And before I get bashed - my kid is a Div I athlete....honor student. Nothing HS sports contributed to that. Did she enjoy it...absolutely! Did she learn things other than or different than her club/select program? Sure, but that's not where she got seen by her college coaches.   Point being, her personal work ethics (academics and athletics) is what gained her, her opportunity, along with exposure outside of HS sports....   Are HS sports really needed? (leave emotions out of the equations) 

I should have read better the first time...."consumption tax" as in FOOD. That already isn't taxed. So, I assume TVC meant to leave it that way....if that's the case I agree, it should remain un-taxed.

Just curious. Why is this unfair? Taxes paid would be relative to your spending abilities.

I think you missed the point. The point being made is that democrats treat blacks more "unfairly" than the GOP...but you continue to blindly support the party of racism and sexism - DEMOCRATS.   I remember not to long ago a similar article showing the Dems also discriminate against women more than the GOP...go figure!

in 2009 the company I worked for went out of business (Engineering $100K plus per yr income) For 2 years until things picked back up (I went from office to hot and cold being outside) I mowed grass...pulled weeds...landscaped..built fences, etc...cut the cable...cell phones...sold extra cars and toys to make ends meet.....YES...work is out there if you want to EARN your way.   Unless there is truly ..TRULY a disability OR senior citizen....I DESPISE welfare recipients.....

By what standards? The standards that were set by electing this president? The answer is more than qualified, since the president has been set, or in other words, the bar lowered, he is MORE than qualified.   Having said that, NO, I do not think so, IMO. I like him, I like his credentials. His education, work ethic, family value, etc....but not qualified to run this country....but hey, that hasn't stopped some people from getting elected.

If Ben is seriously unqualified having run an entire medical department at one of the top hospitals in the country for many years....then yes, you are correct, running the neighborhood picnic for a few short years is seriously unqualified...I agree with you!

Along this same line of discussion a question was asked of me (even with research) it was very difficult to answer, but here goes.   What is the difference in an abortion (within the legal trimester) and a person causing the death to the unborn child during the same time frame of legal abortion?   In other words why is one legal and the other potentially charged with murder of the unborn?   In my limited findings, in short, (California law) it was stated that the definition of when life began was defined differently between the 2 senerios...made no sense to me.

So you agree with prostitution and polygamy? Bingo, so let us be who we want to be Christians who don't believe in abortion and don't want to pay for it.

Troops told to refrain from eating, drinking in front of Muslims [Hidden Content]

Why is it when a Christian "QUESTIONS" someone it's always called "judging"? Isn't it also judgmental to call someone judgmental?

That is the KEY word, it's you people who make it about THIS president (or race).   With that said, just because one person (president) screwed up doesn't mean it's ok. Y'all like to defend fast and furious on the same basis, Bush did it. Yes he did, but HE recognized it was a fail operation and terminated it himself. Why on earth would your savior try the same failed operation? Then to take these failures to a whole new level of FAILURE!

Not the people, the sin! When will the NON believers learn the difference. Or is it they know the difference, it just isn't to their advantage to acknowledge it...

Wrong again, for a "so called" educated person you sure aren't very bright.   Fact is, the law is based on a value (currently $11,000) not year of the vehicle. Even with that the states have the flexibility to adjust that or even discard it from the formula in which deems a family eligible.   "Aligning Food Stamp Policy to TANF-MOE-funded Assistance Programs . States may now use in the Food Stamp Program the method for valuing vehicles that the state has established under a TANF/MOE-funded cash or non-cash assistance program[1] so long as it is not more restrictive than federal food stamp rules. For example, Alabama, Ohio, Kansas, Utah, and Maryland are among the states that exclude the value of all vehicles in its TANF cash assistance programs."   [Hidden Content]

OBAMA: MUSLIMS BUILT 'THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR NATION'   [Hidden Content]   There's not much wonder why we are losing our American values (as stated in another thread) I do believe that Judeo Christian built the very fabric of our nation.

It's rather amazing that the "race" topics have 10 times or more dialogue than this topic....the reason however is quite simple....one directs blame to others, while the other demands accountability. One finds excuses to fail, the other finds means to succeed. One turns out free loaders, the other turns out productive citizens. One votes Republican, the other votes democrat. OH, and one last note....One drives nice cars that they pay for themselves, the other drives nice cars others pay for... :D   And to respond to another comment I can not find in regards to their being people driving on "22's" in the trailer parks also....no no...trailer park folks use tire sizes, not rim sizes....so they will driving on 35's  :D

But they can take over the processing to allow the border patrol to be able to do the job they should be doing....patrolling the border. SO, in essence yes, they can!

The best post you have ever posted.....   I would add one thing to this....severe punishment (fines, loss of drivers license, and/or any other state or federal assisance, including prison if multiple offenses) to those who hire the illegals

I provided simple math to "show" (If not prove my point) Yet you simply say "hog wash".  Please at least provide an opinion as to WHAT WOULD  WORK.   Please do not say....nothing. Any sane person can see that SOMETHING needs to be done, whether we can all agree on what that is or not.

Obama's "lack of leadership" is costing at minimum $30M/mo you don't whine about that. Must be more of that low information stuff!   50,000 (illegals) X $20/day = $1,000,000/day $1,000,000 x 30 (days) = $30,000,000/mo   With 50K  ILLEGAL ALIENS and it were to only cost $20 per day per ILLEGAL, to house, feed, and medicate (see how low my $20 per day figure is) not even counting the salaries, electric bills, gas bill, etc..that would be $1M per DAY..($30M per month)...which is Obama's "leadership plan" AND GROWING....but you want to complain about $12M per MONTH that would ultimately lower the cost if we can stop/slow down/or even return them.
