    Ah, so you disagree with the spirit of the statement then and agree that it's not a serious problem given the almost non existent rate in which it occurs?

    You can only be intellectually dishonest for so long before you get boxed in by questions that make you tell the truth.

    Is it really that hard for you to accept that someone can make a post without inserting a value judgment?

    I mean, I know that is basically all you do around here, but not everybody acts like you. (Thank God)

    That's a nice dodge of the question, but you aren't going to get off that easy, either answer the question or the assumption will be that you are ashamed of your answer.

    Bobby is exactly right in this sense

    Even if all the police shootings that make the news are legitimate civil rights violations, it's a distraction from the real problems of crime among young black men.

    Moreso we are desensitized to the real problems and there is no outrage when a young black man kills a Hispanic woman in front of her son during a robbery while both are working at the Subway on Broadway and 45.

    Or a black baby is killed during a stupid argument among young blacks at an apartment complex


    Both incidents in Houston over the past two years

    I don't owe you anything. I said absolutely nothing regarding the perceived frequency or severity of the problem of police misbehavior. Normally I would offer my opinion, but based on how ideologically possessed you are and unwilling to have discussions in good faith I see no reason to give you the time of day. The only person who should be ashamed or embarrassed in this thread is you. You should admit you made a mistake. It won't kill you.

    By continuing to dodge the question, you've made it clear that I didn't make a mistake at all, I called you out and instead of being honest about your stance you went the route of being intellectually dishonest. I understand that you are in a tough spot, if you answer the question honestly you end up admitting that I had a point, if you lie, you'll get called on it later. You'd have been better off just being intellectually honest from the start.

    I wouldn't go that far, while Donny was clearly being dishonest, he wasn't outright lying. We'll see if he progresses to outright lying or if he just eventually admits to the truth.

    People give too many ****s about what Trump is or isn't rather than doing the dirty work to fix the system underneath.

    This country is made for its president.
