Wow, no wonder you go on and on without proving a point, your agenda won't allow that.
I left you not with a statement, but a question. Answer it, don't ask me to answer it and/or your questions.
The causes are moot. I want to know why these problems manifest themselves in Democrat strongholds. They do, and that's irrefutable as you've shown. I'm just asking why it's that way.

Hypothesis are not facts. Any HS student who passed Freshman Science should know this. What's your excuse for having be taught it as an adult?

Originally posted by Slip Stream View PostThe fact is it's a different party now regardless of it's historical origins. Do you get that?
Originally posted by Slip Stream View PostWhat you don't seem to get is that people support causes that best represent them in the here and now not during the era of slavery? Do you understand that?
If you're going to be smug, it's best to it when you're winning the debate, not when you're stooping to insults, obfuscation, and fallacy.

■ Inner-city poverty is the unanticipated consequence of public policy that was intended to alleviate social problems but has, in fact, caused them to worsen in some respects.

■ Inner-city poverty reflects an endogenous growth deficit that results from low levels of entrepreneurship and access to capital, especially among minority populations.
Yes...but the problem isn't so much a lack of access to capital. Rather, the problem is barriers to entry...like having to start out by paying your workers a Government imposed minimum wage, instead of just paying them whatever the heck you want [or can afford] until your business grows. Just one of the many barriers.
See...if the starting point is that you have to have 1 million dollars to do X, Y, Z...majority of it being compliance costs, then the problem isn't lack of access to capital, the problem is all the Government created hurdles.
Inner-city poverty results from migration processes that simultaneously remove the middle-class and successful members of the community, thereby reducing social capital, while bringing in new, poorer populations whose competition in the labor market drives down wages and employment chances of residents.
One-Capppy's anecdotal observation. The vast majority of jobs in big cities are Fluff jobs. If you have no skills or aren't credentialed to your eyeballs...all you will get is the odd security job, restaurant job, call center or service sector fake job in general.
All the real goods producing jobs are outside of the cities. As a matter of fact, I was in Nashville just a while back and a few bums asked me for a dollar and I told them, that they're mass hiring at a manufacturing plant in Gallatin, Tn about 30 mins outside of nashville. The bum wasn't interested. Poor ppl with no skills have no business living in a big city where the cost of living is inflated in the first place. If they have access to the internet, they should be looking for labor jobs outside of cities, not in the cities. They can move just like anybody else, and go live in a cheaper town with lower rents and cost of living...as long as they're willing to leave behind the Big City social program tit which keeps them voting Democrat in every election. It's called free movement of labor and ppl.
We are all individuals and should take some self-responsibility, using our intelligence [if we have any] instead of playing the perpetual victim cardLast edited by One_Tycoon; 12-18-2015, 06:26 PM.

A lot of the problems in inner cities emanate from the ridiculous, and racially biased war on drugs.
Some more facts on the war on drugs here:

"The causes are moot," oh is that right? You're more interested in a region that votes Democratic than why it's impoverished and oppressed? I agree they're Democratically controlled, but why would identifying them as such supersede the real economic and social pain they're feeling? I don't really see what you're getting at? What you're arguing is what I've already admitted, I'm digging down to the causes to perhaps connect them to voter behavior and why they became that stronghold. But this seems to pass right over your head, like one of the clouds your brain is floating away on. Bye, bye brain....

Originally posted by 1bad65 View PostInsults and name-calling are the antics of children and those of low intellect. They also show one has conceded the debate. Please, comport yourself as an adult in the future. I know you're trying to duck my question, but please, act like a grown up. I am, and thus you should be able to as well. Right?
Originally posted by 1bad65 View PostI've heard that DNC talking point many times, yes. That doesn't make it true, however. Are the Reps now calling for slavery or the Jim Crow laws to return? If not, you have no point.
The underlined was my point.
Originally posted by 1bad65 View PostObviously I do, as I addressed that with facts and then asked you a question in light of said facts. That question is the one you are now ducking.

There hasn't been a debate dude, just me flogging an Ostrich with it's head, balls and anus buried in the sand.Last edited by Slip Stream; 12-21-2015, 09:05 PM.

I expect Trump's poll numbers will fall after he loses Iowa to Ted Cruz and New Hampshire to Chris Christie. Carson has been plummeting for the last month or so. The race should then come down to Cruz and Rubio. The quality of the debates should improve dramatically when we get down to 4 or 5 people on the stage. That's all there should be now, since there's only 4 in double digits, nobody else above 5%. Let the rest fight it out at the kiddie table with Lindsay Graham.
NBC/WSJ poll has Trump at 27, Cruz at 22. Nobody is talking about it.

He just wrote this about his own party: http://www.politico.com/magazine/sto...o-obama-213448
