Rioting in St Louis

[Polish Leppy 22]

And you don't know about the inner city and sound like a bitter old guy who's afraid of changing anything.

Went to high school in a city. Went to college in a huge city. Lived in huge city. And I'm 29.

Keep trying.

So we're still working with the premise that sex ed in inner city schools is inferior to sex ed in suburban/ rural schools? And that's the problem? Stunning.

It honestly is though, inner city schools suck compared to suburban school's at about everything.

Well some dude's like it raw. Hence why better sex-ed and less welfare for increasing children should occur, but that's a different argument.

I'm pretty sure you meant this to be flippant in a semi-comical way. But I do think that it highlights a problem that is growing in ALL neighborhoods, it seems:

Life is very rarely about what we LIKE. Life is way more often about what is RIGHT. We don't always like what is right. But that's no excuse to just abandon making every effort to do what is right.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

I don't believe it. I do not believe that there is a single able-minded teenager in this country that doesn't know that sex is where babies come from. There's no way. If you have ANY ONE OF; a radio, billboards, television, a single friend, a sibling, a borderline functioning parent, or education through even 7th grade, you know where babies come from.

I was just gonna say...google. Kids now know everything about everything well before high school.

Every case is different. There is nothing in this case directly tied to any others. The cops aren't the only ones to lie. There are several different stories by several different people. And forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'd bet you haven't 'seen' any young men gunned down by cops. You get your fact thru the media and chose what to believe. You close your mind off to only what you want to believe. Then you argue your opinion as facts to other guys on a message board who don't agree. Then accuse them of being racist.

All of the outspoken witnesses have the same general story, and the forensics don't change anything. People here wwee more or just as willing to clear the shooter and if not, not say police brutality isn't an epidemic.

Yeah its true, at the end of the day its on the individual. However there should be more than sex-ed classes when it comes to children. Finance classes and just real stories would probably help as well.

Sex ed is sex ed. It's the same damn thing! You really gonna sit there and tell me that suburban schools are far superior in teaching sex ed and inner city teachers stand up there dumbfounded and kids learn nothing?!? Really?

Certain things shouldn't be just left for the teachers to educate. What about the parents?

 

[autry_denson]

Your posts are embarrassing. Are you saying sex ed is worse in inner city schools? And condoms are only sold to white people? Or handed out at clinics to whites only?

What world do you live in? Seriously, dude.

the angry, oppressed white men of IE out in full force tonight - aka the lowest common denominator, united with their newfound comrade from Alabama... funny shit

since justice seems unlikely tonight, not sure what to hope for. anger is justified, hopefully it doesn't translate into too much violence on either side, minimal brutality, minimal forcible oppression.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

This only gives the police a chance to be more brutal. A lack of justice here hurts all victims, just like the lack of justice for Crawford and Hunt. Police have justified themselves for their shootings and violations of the First Amendment.

All of the "outspoken" so-called witnesses are cop-haters just like you. That's WHY they're outspoken.

Cute that you'd reference the right to peaceable assembly... ahem, #NoJusticeNoPeace amirite?

 

[West Coast Domer]

Blaming social media 7 times??? Lol

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I hate it when people are shot unarmed by the people who are supposed to protect and serve. I hate it that Darrien Hunt won't be there with his family on Thanksgiving and that John Crawford's daughter won't have a father.

Outstanding post. Solid contribution.

They are peacefully assembling and they have for over 99% of the time.

Grand Jury made up of 3 blacks and 8 whites decisions not to charge Officer Wilson for murder. This Grand Jury was formed prior to the shooting.

 

[calvegas04]

just said he is innocent

 

[West Coast Domer]

Didn't even have to watch this jackass. This decision shouldn't shock anyone.

And that is a failure of "the system", or of "the family"? I would be willing to bet that, if you had this kind of data; the one thing that almost all of those who rose above their birth surroundings to become successful had in common would be a close, stable, engaged family.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

just said he is innocent

No he said no indictment.

Sad day for our Justice system!

Wow. Great contribution. Although... technically, you ae hanging out with us as well. Enjoy.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

It's frankly a joke. It's fun until the cops decide your children are hunting season as well. RIP Michael.

 

[wizards8507]

Not many fans of the Fifth Amendment around here or on twitter, eh?

Please don't call us comrades. We're not filthy communists.

 

[calvegas04]

hope the national guard is ready, looks like it will be a long night

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I wish Darrien Hunt had this much attention as well. Explain that one guys. Explain why Hunt is a "thug" or whatever your new n word is.

 

[West Coast Domer]

This guy is a clown.

Some of us are trying to have a real discussion about the issue........... in the spirit of Thanksgiving........ the kids' table is in the basement. Be careful on the stairs.
