No Soccer - Bad / No School - Catastrophic!

Say, for instance, your child's history teacher said this before a lesson. It's just not useful.
Actually it is good for a history teacher or someone else to point out which countries are crap holes. You can use that to compare and contrast why certain cultures do much better than others. The rule of law comes to mind. Why certain types of political systems lead to terrible corruption, etc.

Much better than looking at some crappy countries and then listen to the teacher tell my kids all cultures are equal or just as good as each other, when we know that is not the case. There is a reason 3rd world countries are 3rd world. And there is a reason why countries move into 1st world status. Pretending it is different does nobody any good.
 
What about the early irish immigrants? They came over here as indentured servants didnt they?
Very true and very different analysis. It tripped me out, when I looked on the slave roles and saw Irish indentured servants.
I have even been uncomfortable with how I have seen Irish and Polish folk treated relatively recently in the UK.
 
Get off the fence it's a clear and simple issue. At some point be a parent and take a stand...should kids be in school or not?
If it were all about me as a parent, it would be easy.

My kids have the skills and home support to work independently. Pure virtual works just fine, for us.

It does not work out so great for everyone else.

Which puts me back on the fence. Nice view, but a little precarious.
 
This is bad. What’s your point?

Where do you think the oppressive system failed them? White karate teacher didn't do his job? I never heard a "kiai" when that feral, black punk's shoe struck the white toddler in the head. That said, do you think Al Sharpton will have a comment? LeBron will pay for the girl's college?

Scots too. That's the problem with being white these days. How does one know if the white dude their looking at with hatred is the whitey that is Irish, Scottish or an elitist first class snob and will get off the boat before the kids and woman if the boat is sinking. There lies the issue Dre. We all have been treated like sh*t if your not an elitist born into wealth. Just the kind of leader to lead those off the boat too. Loser!!!! I'm not sure how much the coal workers on the bottom of the titanic got paid but it sure wasnt much I hear. But hell, it was job I guess.

Hard to say. Ask me that after about 20 years of equality and I’ll answer your question. If I were to answer now, my answer would be pure speculation and conjecture and that ain’t helpful.

Being equal and having the opportunity to be equal are different things. If we're going by "content of their character"... seems that's regressing.
 
Bruno's parents came with education and $500. That was late 60s and $500 is more than zero. Dad of 4, how much is $500 in todays times? I will say some people came here without their willingness to come. That sucks and need's to be in the discussion.
About $4000.

Enough for a weeks groceries, a cheap used car and the deposit on a cheap apartment. That's about it.

Yeah, his point is a bit BS or just blatant broad brush. The Irish, esp. the Catholics, that came over as indentured servants were uneducated and piss poor. The very large numbers, again mostly Catholic, who came over from the late 1840s fleeing the famine in Ireland and through the next few decades were also pretty uneducated and piss poor. The Irish did clearly encounter prejudice and discrimination with the infamous, "No Irish Need Apply", tag line in documented records from the 1840s through to the last known in 1909.

The Protestant Irish tended to be better educated and had some means. The only "advantage" the Irish had was in being white, which allowed them to assimilate quicker. It still took a couple of generations.

Desert Hound! Please read your post out loud and just listen to what your saying!!

I once had a crim professor tell me the death penalty didn't serve as a good deterrent for committing murders. I raised my hand and told him I could think of at least ONE person that would be deterred. He made me leave for the day. Fucking libtard.

I did. Sounded as honest as the first time through.

You don't think 3rd world countries are in that state due to culture, political systems, etc?

Or you like to pretend differently?

Start with Somalia for instance. Contrast and compare with the US. If that is too close to home, compare and contrast with lets say Italy.

Start with how they treat women, gays, religious minorities. You go first.

Here's some more tripping for you, from 1976, The Black Irish of Monserrat.

Or how it began in the late 1600s, To Hell or Barbados
 
Still waiting for a comment on this, Dre. You think this is a system problem? Their great, great, great, great grandfather was a slave?


Dumb ass bitch had it coming. Why is she hanging out in the hood with known hoodrats? She should know only bad things happen in the hood. Does she not watch the news. She put herself in that position. Plus she was moving when they were shouting at her "stop resisting," "stop resisting." As for the kid, why is the kid "obstructing" a beat down. Kid deserved a beat down for "obstruction of hood justice."
