But yea it's strange when people compete over how dangerous/shitty/violent their cities are
IIRC the US is the murder capital of the industrialized world by far... but it's far from something I'm proud of. If we could stop having 600 murders a year in Chicago I think that would be nice.
Which is why I‘m attributing the blame to the Institution of the us government, which indeed has a responsibility to ,, pull people out of the holes they‘ve dug.
And yes, Native Americans, raised in a terrible situation the government has put them in, have struggled to better their situations. That doesn’t mean the government shouldn’t be taking responsibility for a situation they created but never fixed.
Also, could someone explain what affirmative action is exactly? I‘ve opposed it under the impression it forces colleges to accept a minimum of black kids regardless of if there‘s more deserving white kids.
Affirmative Action is a set of policies that give private businesses tax incentives for contracting or hiring people from historically oppressed groups.
For example, if there are two equally-qualified candidates for an open position, and one of them is say, an ethnic minority, the government may offer the employer a modest tax break to hire the minority candidate.
The policy aims to override the prejudices of employers who have historically disenfranchised some groups from gainful employment by appealing to their pocketbook.
Unless a business is contracting with the federal government, it is completely voluntary policy. The government is not forcing employers to hire minorities or unqualified people.
It's not strange really because it's interesting, London, for example, has seen the murder rate drop from around 300 a year to 100 a year in the last 30 years due to gentrification. South America and South African (where I visit regularly) with always be more dangerous than most other industrialised places. Countries where foreigners are rarely seen like Somalia and Nigeria (where I lived for a while are a particular danger for non-natives). Americans like to make out they are tough because they have a lot of loonies and no gun control. Yes, it makes America dangerous anyone can get a gun on any street corner. But most Americans don't have a passport and when they are involved in military conflicts outnumber and outmatch the opponents so the risk is minimised (this is true for Britain in military conflicts also). So the point I am making still stands being in a war zone with air support and a military machine, isn't necessarily a choice for everyone in Education and doesn't necessarily make you Rambo either. I have some lovely Americans working for me, some ex-military, it doesn't mean I don't tell them I think western military interference from the US and Europe isn't the biggest problem to stability, it created most of the problems we face now. And as to how this started, I think someone accused people posting against the military of being armchair warriors, I find it funny when people who have either had a platoon behind them or never visited dangerous places, try and belittle those who live in them and try to show every day not every westerner is a bigoted fool and do so at their own risk.
It doesn't mean our government uses race an excuse to pass over others though in order to fix it lol. Not up for debate, racism doesn't defeat racism.
Then whining about slavery and shit wouldn't work as much.

That's all well and good, I just want to make sure you're crystal clear about one thing here: there is nothing tougher or more noble about having more knife attacks than gun attacks. And no Steve, you aren't some military bad ass because you challenge people to go meet up in the Sudan or whatever silly shit you spew. When you did that you sounded *exactly* like a keyboard warrior.

Only to you boy and people like you, as I say my offer is open. Come meet me in Africa, I'm game, I'll show you the real world off a keyboard. No keyboard warrior here, just a solid offer. Come and tell Muslims what you think of them in their country, you're brave. Offer is open to any of you, give me your emails and I'll sort it out. You will have to pay for your flights and I suggest you get insurance, most Americans I know pretend to be Canadians in places like the Sudan btw and most of them are quite tough guys. Just a thought.
Send me the money and I'll be on the next flight out. always up for a nice vacation.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.

Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.

You're trying way too hard lol. This is what a keyboard warrior does.

What the f*ck did you just f*cking say about me, you little b*tch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in guerrilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the f*ck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my f*cking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, f*cker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re f*cking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your f*cking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re f*cking dead, kiddo.
DDM is, at this very moment, personally surfing atop a missile shaped like an american eagle heading for Steve's general direction.
