Blacks are more likely than whites to be the victims of murder...but they're also more likely commit murder.

Also, most whites are killed by whites, and most blacks are killed by blacks.

For those remaining murders that are interracial, the black-on-white rate is higher than the white-on-black rate.

but the story really isn't "kill whitey".

judging from the letters in Salon, anyway.

just wondering

it's certainly something that could be the same sort of selector for men as beauty is for women.

Specialtown may be just the place for you.

I grew up believing

God keeps his eye on us all

And he used to lean upon me

As I pledged allegiance to the wall

oh the humanity

this was to counteract the sensation of houses and tall buildings falling in on me.

but I'm ok now.

compulsive driving while drunk is antisocial, criminal behavior.

I come here just for this kind of stuff.

Women who commit crimes are shown to be victims of broader societal failures; men who commit crimes are usually just presented as case studies of the patriarchy in action.

perhaps the parable of the grasshopper and the squirrel is in order here.

How would you feel about acting like a real reporter for a change by actually debating the issues?

Joan Walsh is not a reporter...and if she were, a "real reporter" doesn't engage in debate anyway...they just report the occurrence of events.

But maybe I'm wrong here. Shouldn't we all be praying at the altar of this imbecile and awaiting her next enlightened post?

Yes, you're wrong. Walsh is a commentator, not a reporter...and if you don't like her commentary that's your problem.

Joan Walsh is clearly not an imbecile.

of course they're going to oppose reforms.

from readers like you...it's all about basic fairness.

it looks like grass but it's just plastic.

One bad apple does not constitute a conspiracy.

I am not Steve Fox

I am not "bilco"

I am not Klytus

my god, who am I?

I bow only to Klaatu.

I personally don't have a serta but to each his own.

regular or extra-crispy

it's Invasion USA.

but then she got busy with something else.

She takes orders from the Robot Brain.

go right to the Robot Brain...call it a homo or whatever.

Even if you are Charles Krauthammer, I think you should cite yourself in your posts here.

he's old

It seems far removed from the Robot Brain.

well ok they're better than all of the posts.

A lot of people are emotionally invested in the status quo, even if they don't really benefit from it.

It works for auto insurance. Of course there's a big difference between a $75 monthly car insurance payment and an $800 monthly health insurance payment. Costs have to be contained...and the health insurance industry treats their huge profits as non-negotiable. Which is a bigger problem than raving about "Obamacare" and socialism lite-lite-lite.

problems just go away if you ignore them...or if you go to the beach, or whatever.

Maybe problems are solved by writing. Maybe problems are solved by tuna. Or problems are not solved, or are partially solved and then reoccur.

Maybe problems are caused by tiny evil fairies on meth. Be sure to mention drugs in your letter to give yourself addiction "cred".

What was the question again?

The nuns taught the precise block printing technique and hit you with rulers.

until she found out I wasn't gay.

which makes him one of the dopes.

are deeply conflicted about the choice between material guarantees and personal responsibility, and it shows in the person they elected president.

have so much money and influence that the idea of "customer satisfaction" as a moderating force seems almost quaint.

kook!

-in the shower

-during sex

-at the DMV

-whenever there is a darkie president

just a little socialism for the big companies we work for, please.

a death squad, maybe? Nah, that could never happen...

so we might want to take his fertilizer advice with a grain of salt.

people kill people...with guns

Why can't the whole world be cute and cheap and special?

I will be wondering about that tonight.

Jefferson knew this when he wrote:

The Tree of Liberty is watered by a large garden hose, although fiberglass-reinforced rubberized plastic has yet to be invented.

that money is for alcohol and junk food.

it's too late to save me...get out of this thread before it's too late for you!!!

gubmint = BAD

company boss-man = GOOD

but I don't see what wearing a gun brings to the discussion...besides the idea that you're willing to kill your opponents.

If I remember correctly, the problem is the off-topic 9/11 stuff.

everybody's in the CIA now...except you.

the towelheads did 9/11: "It Changes Everything"

the government did 9/11: "It Changes Everything"

my PDA is an Instinct, not an iPhone...so I can't even participate in Apple cultism.

I just spend hour after hour on weekends at Starbucks, sorting junkmail, reading Salon, and checking the weather.

My mom was not abusive but when I was a lot younger I blamed her for preventing me from sleeping with a certain woman. And so I disliked her for quite a while. Unlike you, my feelings were not entirely justified. But they were my feelings.

Finally, I got over it...and getting over it is the only thing that's really going to help you feel better.

Perhaps she felt that an inept dildo would be a better fit with the letters section.
