That's the point: making those who work for minimum wage a little richer.

As opposed to all those responsible males for whom taxpayers are expected to foot the bill for their Viagra, Cialis and penis pumps.

It's all Obama's fault.

You're equivocating again. You claim that white privilege doesn't exist, and to support your argument you come up with this fact that [only] 54% of negroes graduate from high school. Ergo, it's not white privilege that blocks their way forward and up; it's their [low] graduation rate. You've...

You haven't tied it into the thread until you give it value. Backing away by saying that the answer is "complicated" is no answer at all. Let me put it another way: assuming that you believe that the percentage is "low", why is it so low? This just in: There ya go. I knew Doh would weigh in...

And why is it 54% rather than some other number?

Why Is Congress AWOL? Since June, President Obama has sent five notices to Congress on Iraq, in compliance with the terms of the War Powers Resolution. Each details a U.S. military action: the several hundred advisers deployed, the humanitarian airdrops for stranded Yazidis, the 500-pound bombs...

And what does this mean?

And where were you in '62? You prefer the conservative approach? to bomb Moscow? That'll work. I suspect that God will be pretty pissed-off at what those who believe have done to what he created for them. I doubt he'll be too eager to bestow rewards. But why not hasten the end by making things...

The California State Senate gave final legislative approval on Thursday to a bill that would require certain replica guns to be painted bright colors or made transparent to prevent police from confusing toy guns for real weapons. The bill, which passed the Democratic-led chamber by 22-12, was...

What happens when it wins? What is Uber? A paragon of free market efficiency and technological innovation serving the greater convenience and comfort of the general public? Or living proof for why capitalist societies require regulation? It is testimony to the ceaseless striving of Uber that...

Nothing new to report here (see the last few posts above). If you're in, stay in (it's been 200 NQ pts now; 100 ES pts).

You're providing a whole new meaning to right-wing paranoia. You're suggesting that all these reports from all these people from all over the country for all these years are just manufactured in order to advance some sort of agenda. Like the loonies that think the UN wants to take over the...

So first you want me to provide one experience. Now you want me to provide an experience that happens to me over and over again? What are you smoking?

Your brief rest seems to have re-energized you. But aside from that, it does seem to me that what a woman chooses to do with her body and the choices she makes with regard to reproduction, including the choice not to, are entirely hers to make and none of the business of any man in the...

They'd be surprised to hear that. And this is the Politics and Religion Forum, not a trading forum. If you don't know where you are, perhaps you'd be less distracted upstairs. By the way, how come you deleted your post about hate crimes? I enjoyed that one.

And how would any "experience" that I relate not be anecdotal? How would I be able to prove that it actually happened? Again, you're just looking for ways to rationalize your own beliefs. Continue ranting if you like, but that's all it amounts to.

Actually there were quite a few privileged whites who were able either to buy commissions for themselves in order to stay out of the fighting or buy their way out of serving altogether. As for Africa, you've heard of the Boer Wars, right (pre-WW1)? The participation of the Belgian Congo in WW1...

Dr. Terrell Strayhorn, a brilliant, Black Ohio State University professor, recently opened the Educational Testing Service and Children’s Defense Fund co-sponsored symposium on Advancing Success for Black Men in College by sharing a question his 14-year-old son asked him: Why did he get in...

Tell you what. Why don't you revisit this thread you began, then tell me again about this meaningful dialog you want to have? As for examples, there are dozens if not hundreds of examples in the posts I've made. If that's not enough for you, too bad (my providing "one" would not likely provide...
