    The United States is barely in the top 10 when it comes to upward mobility. Try again.

    I hate myself for joining in, but....

    Who gets to decide what is "hate speech?" You clearly think you can judge what is or isn't. And my guess is almost everyone on here would disagree with where you draw that line. So, once we all agree to throw free speech out, who gets to be the decider? Be careful, you might not like how it ends up.

    Some might decide your "insights" are hate speech.

    Jihadis on youtube aren't the same as people making music. It isn't the same as people advocating the idea of white nationalism either.

    Honestly, I don't care. I'd rather be safe than sorry, and definitely stop being held hostage by low IQ opinions. It's a real world thing, you can rant and rave on the internet all you want, but as far as real world people who ensure the livelihoods of others and appreciate community, I am in the majority. It just amazes me how many people don't get it.. really no different to thinking having a couple of guns will protect you from the government.

    They all lead to innocent people dying, no matter how your twisted mind tries to justify it.

    Yes, hip hop does lead to death...

    Just like this art piece led to people dying from trying to get crows to fly out of their ass. It was a tragic time in Renaissance Europe. If only he had been censored.

    90%-95% of violent crime is committed by males. You can pretend there is no correlation but anyone without extreme biased can see there is a connection that isn’t leading to progress.

    At this point we need to do something about males in our culture? At what point will we hold men accountable?

    You should run for office on a platform of eliminating the 1st Amendment and see just how much of a majority you're in.

    Certain cultures do do that, and the stats show it. Pandering to hate speech to seem super liberal and down with ain't helpin anyone out. What about the quote in the first post, do you have thoughts on that? You try too hard to be cool, I prefer to spend my time and effort saving lives. It's a simple place to start.

    The stats show that males do that. It is the males that commit almost all of the violent crimes. You need to take responsibility and start taking action to correct the problem with males. Quit trying to pass the buck.

    Let's save lives by doing something about all of the males committing these violent crimes.

    I am getting at the root of the problem and the statistics support my position. The issue isn’t AA males, the problem is all males. Until this basic premise is accepted, we cannot have a discussion on solving the problem. I’m interested in real solutions.

    I would like to argue that you're wrong, but the stats don't lie.

    Clinging to the past isn't how politics is going to go in the future. Me being overrun by special interest groups isn't happening. Saying whatever I need to say to be liked while doing nothing like Obama isn't happening. Being an economy only vigilante like Trump isn't happening (people feel the effects of unsustainable activities first hand). It all comes back to bite you. The situation in 2019 is vastly different than the late 18th century-- policies have to show that. People have no choice but to wisen up and know what's good for them instead of living on hope and prayers. I speak for the majority when I say I want all forms of violent crime to go down. For that to happen, authority has to be respected... hate videos/propaganda/social media accounts used for recruitment don't prove anything. The kindness has been exploited for too long and strong measures have to be taken.

    What are your thoughts about jihadi's on youtube? Can disillusioned teenage boys can make the differentiations you make?

    What irony. You’re busy pumping out low IQ opinions like an East Texas gusher back in the day.

    Yeah I have no problem whatsoever with the most abhorrent, disgusting, vile things being spread on social media or media as long as kids are protected from it by their guardians.

    What I do have a problem with is:

    1) Extreme concentrations of the ability to distribute media.
    2) Media platforms stripped of dislike functions.
    3) Media entities not paying the public to publish.

    It's because new media has treated us as products instead of clients that people are stupidly starting to treat themselves as products of information rather than recipients of information. What people do is not a product of what they watch, that's their choice.

    I found this video of male culture glorifying violence, gambling, and crime. Another example of males glorifying violence. unbelievable. Just listen to those lyrics. No wonder males think violent crime is the answer to problems.

    I guess you don't like facts. I wasn't advocating where I or anyone else should live. I was pointing out that the upward mobility in the United States, contrary to what you were implying, is not tops in the world.
