What The Hell Is Going On?
"People who are able to do something well can do that thing for a living, while people who are not able to do anything that well make a living by teaching. (From George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman.)
This past week we witnessed a nation wide walk out of students for "gun control measures". This walk out was orchestrated by left wing groups and ideologue "educators". I wish they were honest. I wish they would come out and call for what they want, the total ban of firearms. But, honesty is not part of their make up.
One of the demands they did not make was to enforce existing gun laws. Or penalize those who break existing gun laws. But why would you do that when the former Attorney General of the United States of America was a Yuuge gun runner?
What would one of these students or "educators" think and feel if they were held up at gun point? Would they want the convicted felon jailed or playing basketball?
MILWAUKEE —Why should we take the students seriously when they cheer for law breakers? Why should we take educators seriously when they condone the Thug Lifestyle? Why are the students, educators and former teachers who run the WIAA cheering for a convicted felon who used a gun in the commission of a crime?
This month, Washington High School's star basketball player is headed to the state tournament, even though he pleaded guilty to felony armed robbery. According to the criminal complaint, Deontay Long and his friends robbed two people at gunpoint in an east-side neighborhood last summer before carjacking a woman. Police arrested them after they crashed her car into a building.
The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association governs more than 500 schools.
Its code of conduct explicitly prohibits the use of alcohol, tobacco or drugs, but the rule book says nothing about criminal conduct.
So what was the "Teachable Moment"> Teaching right from wrong? Teaching for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction? The teachable moment was

Just smoke out the gun- grabbers and get leaders on the Record.

Ugh.
I had one of the 'nice old ladies' of my congregation Wednesday night showing off pictures of her grandchildren taking part in the walkout and bragging about them.
Someone else tried to make a tangential point about it this morning and I asked if they'd given any thought to how many people would die if gun control like everyone know the progs want was attempted. I wasn't even specific about whether that was a threat of civil war or an observation about crime rates.
Suddenly it wasn't an important topic to discuss anymore.

Realistically, the "gun murder problem" in America is a black problem. Absent the black murder rate, America's per capita murder rate is lower than that of Belgium.
True story.
But the leftists never talk about cracking down on black criminality, or gun control in the ghetto, where most of the guns are probably illegal already.

KTYs school did a memorial "walkout" and explicitly claimed it had nothing to do with guns.
also they did a safety drill last week using run -hude-fight model
yesterday KTY said she and her classmates were discussing what to do if they ever did get an armed attacker.
I think the kids plan to have one kid on top of the shelf next to the door with a heavy jacket ready to jump the attacker if he comes thru the door while the rest of the class hit him with textbooks and chairs.

Speaking for myself, I don't. I point and laugh.
I really think some people are getting too worked up about the power of these kids and their fake protests. They might be firing up their base but they are also firing up those opposed to them.
We don't do drum circles or control the media so we don't get the wall to wall coverage but we aren't the ones eating Tide pods either.

Okay Cloyd Freud, defend MLK's dream:
At no time has a total, coordinated and fully adequate program been conceived. As a consequence, fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor. In addition to the absence of coordination and sufficiency, the programs of the past all have another common failing - they are indirect. Each seeks to solve poverty by first solving something else. I am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective - the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income.
Or were yuu just virtue-signalling, making a genuflection to some icon, in the hope he wouldn't get called on it? Perish that thought.

The "stop the school to prison flow!" makes no sense at all. Lefties are complaining about young criminals being forced into jails, and they argue that, left alone, many of those same criminals would be high school standouts. The Milwaukee story, to them, actually supports their argument, as crazy as that may seem to a rational human.

disproportionate impact of violent crime on poor neighborhoods. Young
children are killed by stray gang bullets, and young boys are forced
into being drug lookouts. Old ladies are assaulted walking home from
the store, and home invasions are a fact of life.
Square these thoughts? Not possible. And yet the left yammers on and on senselessly.

Cloyd Freud, the point I am trying to make is that King was a Marxist community-organiser first - he couched it as "ending poverty", regardless of how anyone got into poverty - and his speeches about racial equality were secondary to that. King was wholly uninterested in equal opportunity. He wanted equality of outcome.

Pastor in church today said a group of individials were going to participate in antigun protest this week. She also said that no guns would be brought in to the church. I think thats the last time i attend service . Its been the slow creep of activism in the church. Attendance is way down.

Every so often they are honest. Vox had a piece about how what was needed is total gun confiscation. NYT today has an opinion piece up about the same thing. They will claim nobody is calling for that to your face but they admit it at times.

When America-hating European loudmouths berate the US for our level of violence, they assume it's caused by Trump voters. I always point out that it's mostly Democrats shooting Democrats, because Democrats have poor impulse control.

This.
European ignorance about America is boundless, although they think they're desperately well-informed (although compared to Americans' knowledge of Europe, they are).
Probably not a European in a thousand is aware that lynchings in the South were perpetrated by Democrats on Republicans (as blacks uniformly were, at the time), or that the lynching capital of the US is ... NYC.

My argument is "why should I donate my scheduled time off to consort with the criminals and thugs and felons that they hire to do weekend, unskilled, cleanup work?

But despite their flaws (many, in some cases) you can still find good things in their words, and through that reach people through cracks in their armor. If you say 'we have to treat people based on who they are, not what group they belong to" and all they hear is "racist racist white supremacist"
But if you quote MLK, it gets past that block in their brain.

Churches need to stay out of politics period as a body. Individual Christians, fine, but the church needs to focus on the souls and righteousness of the people in their community, not hot button political issues.
Add Mandela to that.
Mandela was a bit more blatantly evil and has basically nothing quotable or good to use. His only virtue was opposing an evil regime, but that's the bare minimum of what humanity is supposed to do, you get no extra credit there.

Also, this is why everything in a law has to be very strictly and carefully specified. They can say, as they are doing "yeah, we don't tolerate drugs and hate speech and stuff like that, but no one said anything at all about Armed Robbery, so that's cool."

Think of it. The popular mean girls, the beauties, the top cliques, along with their weenie boyfriends, are all in and the pressure must be awfully high to join in on beating down the Nazis.
Speaking out against it would take an act of courage most kids could not muster, and it could result in shoutdowns and even violence.

And the purpose, of course, will be to confiscate guns from law-abiding suburbanites and rural residents.
It's not as if they are going to go door to door in Englewood and Austin in Chicago confiscating guns from the gangbangers.
If Trump wanted to expose the hypocrisy of the gun-grabbers, propose using a firearm in the commission of a violent felony a Federal crime, with a five year minimum prison sentence.
The blue cities would scream, because violent criminals are part of the Democrat's political base in those cities.

Regarding the 56 year old having his gun's confiscated under Fla. new law, you need to read the documentation by police that was submitted and used by the judge in Fla to order not just his guns confiscated, but his involuntary commitment.
I will link the SunSentinal piece that describes in detail the guy's behavioral history. The police were called on him this latest time when he turned off the main electric breaker to his condo complex because he claimed he was being shocked by electricity. When police interviewed him at his condo, he had all sorts of claims, not the least of which was that President Obama really had died years ago , but had come back to kill children, etc.
Oh,, and he's being targeted by the FBI and his neighbor who can "shape shift" and looks like Osama Bin Ladin.
I'm glad the guy is being evaluated and weapons have been removed before he randomly killed someone.

100 The public schools culture must be hell for kids that oppose this."
And that's why home schooling is growing, and that's why private schools are becoming so widespread. In much of the country now it's probably child abuse for a white parent to allow their children to attend a public school. (I suppose in the all white states like Vermont and Oregon they're not too bad)
It probably would surprise people to know that the public school system in Dallas, Texas (DISD) is 97% black and hispanic. Same thing in most every big city school district in the southern half of the country.

"We're further away from Martin Luther King Jr's ideal than ever before, at least in my lifetime.
Posted by: Cloyd Freud"
With all due respect conservatives should stop lionizing MLK. They played that game with JFK for 30 years because he was assassinated and helped contribute to the cult surrounding him and his family and have done the same with MLK. He gave good, inspirational speeches, that is it. I have no doubt if MLK had not been assassinated he would have turned as hard left as Rev Jackson or Sharpton. Just look at his widow and children and their shenanigans who for the most part became Dem tools.He now has his own holiday which get far more importance than Presidents day and my kids spend more class time on MLK than all the Founding Fathers combined. I refuse to give him any more homage or acknowledge his ideals.

And for pity's sake, DON'T even ask the real question: Why is this the first generation that can't be trusted with firearms?
Everything a crazy shooter does is merely a violent rendering of what THE ENTIRE generation suffers from:
1.) Extreme narcissism.
2.) Inability to think ahead.
3.) Excessive emotion.
4.) Ability to shut off reality and view things as a movie or a game.
5.) Blaming others.
In fact, their whole argument of "We want guns to be un-invented and made to vanish forever!" exhibits all these traits.
They handle the gun debate the same way the shooter handled his dealings with others.

106 Regarding the 56 year old having his gun's confiscated under Fla. new law, you need to read the documentation by police that was submitted and used by the judge in Fla to order not just his guns confiscated, but his involuntary commitment. "
Thanks for that, Jen. Involuntary Commitment is a very hard thing to do these days, and I knew this guy had to have been displaying a lot of seriously whacked out behavior in order fo that to happen to him.
and yes, I believe that people who are Barking Mad (as the English say) should not be allowed to keep weapons. I lived near an older man once who had shot out a lot of his windows from the inside and put carboard up to cover them. (even the second story windows) He told people he was going to teach those people who kept looking through his windows a lesson. I wondered if there really were people doing that to him, and then a relative of his admitted to me once that he had said that the people who bothered him the most were green men who were 2 feet tall. That who he kept trying to shoot, each time he saw their green grinning faces in his windows.
Fortunately for all of us, he's dead now. But that guy should not have been allowed to keep his gun.

A couple of my grandkids are involved in a research study of reading and comprehension. Not sure of the product. But they have to read something then answer some questions about what they read. They're each making a couple hundred bucks apiece.
Did I mention that they're reading and comprehension is two grade levels over their age?
Did I mention they're home-schooled*? No walk-out for them. Their Mom would kick their butts.
* While a generic term, it involves some limited classroom with other students in a religious facility, Internet based programs, purchased paper based systems, home instruction, some AP special programs, trips to library, and some stuff I forget. The home-school 'network' of Moms, and talented people who contribute their time and energy for home-schooled students, is pretty incredible.
The mockery of home-schooled kids by the leftists is humorous to me. It only shows their ignorance.
Vouchers would help my daughter out. We give what we can to support her efforts. But she still pays school taxes on top of her personal outlays.

Mandela actually took that to heart pretty literally. The African National Congress is a terrorist group that won. He was thrown in jail not because of racism but because he was the leader of a terrorist organization that was bombing, killing, burning, and destroying people and places. They didn't target military areas or government, they targeted people. It was textbook terrorism.
Mandela claims he had a change of heart when in prison but who knows? By the time he got out, the regime had changed.

A thought from the theme Gorilla Gumdrop was on in the last thread - if you want to work to make a real change, don't try to come up with some big legislative fix, that won't work in the long run. (any win we get there can be reversed or neutralized) If you want to work to change the country, then work to support private education and home schooling, and work to slowly defund and limit public education and the University system. That's where the worst rot is.

He claimed that students were having trouble understanding what it was like to be offended.
The School Board did nothing. If you are tired of this corruption of our educational system, run for your BoE or support a conservative candidate for such positions (a veteran would be a good choice to support or draft into running).

Real change is having lots of babies, raising them very well outside the leftist indoctrination system, and them having lots of babies and doing the same. In 2-3 generations, the nation would totally change. Its a slow plan, but easily doable. If people would do it.

Jay that movie is pretty dang sick. Got this central casting German professor justifying the killing of the handicapped and saying it as being merciful to them since they aren't really alive just existing. It uses plenty of imagery of the feeble minded/retarded to push this point. And the movie ends with an impassioned plea from the professor that if he was one of those unfortunates, of course he ain't as he's really smart and all, well he wouldn't want to live that way.

Real change is having lots of babies, raising them very well outside the
leftist indoctrination system, and them having lots of babies and doing
the same. In 2-3 generations, the nation would totally change. Its a
slow plan, but easily doable. If people would do it.

The nutrition advice for the past 30 years? Low fat diets? Brains need fat.
The advancement of the human brain from size X to size 1.5X occurred after mankind figured out how to track down and kill animals. Fat animals with well marbled meat.
But if Michelle Obama had her way the kids would all be eating lettuce.

144 Jay that movie is pretty dang sick. Got this central casting German professor justifying the killing of the handicapped and saying it as being merciful to them since they aren't really alive just existing. It uses plenty of imagery of the feeble minded/retarded to push this point. And the movie ends with an impassioned plea from the professor that if he was one of those unfortunates, of course he ain't as he's really smart and all, well he wouldn't want to live that way.

Gun control is about control it sure in the fuck isn't about lives, crime, or safety. As many lives are saved with guns that are taken with them; CCW licencees are the most law abiding citizens. The vast majority of gun owners are safe with their weapons; swimming pools and cars cause more deaths than guns.

I watched a movie last night in which the speaker called for youth to be peace-loving, for the eradication of all class distinctions, and equal treatment for everyone regardless of their class of origin.
The movie was "Triumph of the Will."
There's a reason the left finds that movie so compelling and terrifying. Because it hits all their buttons, it says all the stuff they say and the way they say it.
Because the voices in that film and their approach are the same voices and approach the left has today. Same type of people, same template. Some are worse than others like that ghastly abortionist, and some are more aware of the final solution than others, but that was true in Nazi Germany as well.
There's been a myth built up of the Nazi where they all were identical in their ideology, all knew everything that was going on, all were in on it, all agreed on everything, and all had the same goals. They didn't. The main thing they all agreed on was Germany needs to be strong in revenge for what was done to them, and Hitler is the greatest leader to get them there. Beyond that, they had all sorts of reasoning and understandings and goals. Some were in direct conflict with each other.

At the public high school in my small, rural town in East Tennessee the junior History teacher took the American flag and stomped on it to use an "object lesson"
That wouldn't have made me offended, it would have made me think the guy was infantile and possibly demented. Everyone alive knows what its like to be offended, its something you learn early on as a child: the world does not always match what you wish or hope it to be. People do things you find awful.
It used to be understood that when you took offense, that was on you and your response because nobody can mind control you. Its one of the key components of Alcoholics Anonymous recovery for the people in the life of an alcoholic: your response to them is what makes you act that way, break that pattern and stop responding.
Now if someone does something you consider offensive, then they are the offender who must change. Because the cardinal rule is never make anyone feel bad.

Seems as if public schools would be desirous of improving results. Not endorsing the efforts of the disruptive child.

Though I admit it's hard to keep track or perspective when the new, shocking lows for the authoritarians ruining America keep coming and coming.
I saw there was push-back and even internal "resistance" (principals mandating things like going to the auditorium for 17 minutes, basically neutering/trivializing the entire thing) in some places.

It isn't a black problem, because there are a great many black folk who are law abiding citizens, middle class or higher, quite good citizens. Painting them with this broad brush is simply racist. In some areas of the country, mine for instance, we don't have a ghetto culture of blacks.
OTOH, the black ghetto culture IS the issue, and that would be approximately 1/4 of the black folk in this country. Then there are the successful black folk who glamorize ghetto culture and, while seeming to claim it, don't live it at all, and then there are the wiggers, who are a worthless class of white trash.
But saying that it's a black problem is really quite inaccurate and unfair, IMO.

I had a co-worker tell me that "white people" had ruined things for his "Aztec ancestors." I asked him if he was referring to the campaigns Cortez carried out on behalf of the Spanish monarchy. He said yes. I then asked him if he was truly pining for the days of cannibalism, bashing babies brains out on rocks, ripping 14 year-olds limb from limb, painting primitive altars with their blood, and using their entrails like party favors. I told him I didn't believe that butchering children would guarantee a good corn crop, and suggested he read "The Conquest of New Spain" by Bernal Diaz del Castillo.

First, thanks for the accusation of racism. I appreciate it.
Second, your argument is hopelessly feeble. To see why, replace "black" with "male," and "racist" with "sexist."
My statement was not categorical; it was statistical. Allow me to elaborate: it does not refer to every goddamned person in the group, nor was it intended to. It refers to the relative incidence of the problem in that group.
In support of my contention, I give you the CDC stats: the leading cause of death among black males 15-35 is murder, by other black males.
Racist?

At the risk of sounding rather mean-spirited, I'm fine characterizing it as a black problem without any further distinction because:
1. the black community as a whole has proven to be completely opposed to holding any black people accountable for their actions (for a concrete example, consider polling data on OJ);
2. any discussion of the obvious problems within the poor black community results in being branded a racist, not least by the black community as a whole;
3. the black community is so committed to to the far Democratic left that it de facto opposes all conservative causes and candidates.

There is a rather large group of white folk who commit crimes. Does that make you a criminal? Why don't you turn that around, like you tried to do with the sexist/racist trick?
I'm not calling anybody here names. I'm not trying to start a fight. But as the mom of a racial minority, I find it difficult to listen while an entire population of decent Americans is painted with the criminal brush.

Pastor in church today said a group of individials were going to participate in antigun protest this week. She also said that no guns would be brought in to the church. I think thats the last time i attend service . Its been the slow creep of activism in the church. Attendance is way down.
Posted by: Madxmom at March 18, 2018 02:22 PM
That tears me up. Today we were called on to pray for all those in service and for an end to violence. Then again, we're a bunch of bitter clingers. Our young pastor is very old-school. I noticed today that most of the young families have 3-4 kids, which seems huuuuge compared to the libs with one or just "fur babies". There was a little girl with Downs Syndrome, too.
BTW Our local high school students scheduled a walk-out/17minutes of silence. The principal told teachers not to comment on it, pro or con, but to keep teaching.
The administrators attended to make sure students returned to class afterwards and the local police attended.
The usual kids left and the usual ones stayed. The FFA members and the hunters had clearly talked to their parents; they stayed in class.

I didn't try to do it. I did it. And it's not a trick. I was trying to bring out how exactly the same argument could be made re males, and it too would have validity.
You have sharpened my point by making it refer to ALL members of the group. That was not the expressed or implied import of my statement.

"Methamphetamine is primarily a white problem."

TCN, I don't think anyone here believes all [insert demographic group here] are criminals or whatever. But if we can never generalize from statistics, then statistics are relatively useless. We all understand that what is generally true is not universally true.
The criminals versus deplorables comparison is inapt, I think. We have murder statistics and can accurately make certain demographic claims about murderers and their victims. We can't do anything of the sort with "deplorable," which is just an insilt.

False. Sorry. Not buying it.
In this country, I'm fairly certain that a person is only responsible for their own crimes. Any number of folk here object mightily when leftists divide people up by race, or by sex, or by whatever metric, and for good reason. Saying that meth is a white problem is not accurate. Yes, most meth users are white. That doesn't make it a white problem, any more than saying that most rapists are white men, so rape is a white man problem. If you accept those statements, then clearly, as a white man, you must be a rapist. It is false, on the face of it.
Can't we be better than the leftist fools who use statistics falsely to paint us as knuckle-dragging idiots clinging to our guns and Bibles because we are too stupid to see how wonder life will be once we are all sorted into our categories and nobody ever says anything we don't agree with?
So, no, I don't buy it that saying that something is a black problem does not paint all blacks with the same brush, just as I don't buy it that saying that something is a white male problem makes all white males rapists.
It's sloppy, and dishonest, and solves exactly nothing.
But let's pursue your logic.
"Violence is primarily a male problem."
True? Or false? Sexist?
"Methamphetamine is primarily a white problem."
True? Or false? Racist?
"Terrorism is primarily a Muslim problem."
True? Or false? Racist/ Islamophobic/ whatever?

False. Sorry. Not buying it.
In this country, I'm fairly certain that a person is only responsible for their own crimes. Any number of folk here object mightily when leftists divide people up by race, or by sex, or by whatever metric, and for good reason. Saying that meth is a white problem is not accurate. Yes, most meth users are white. That doesn't make it a white problem, any more than saying that most rapists are white men, so rape is a white man problem. If you accept those statements, then clearly, as a white man, you must be a rapist. It is false, on the face of it.

We cut the cord in Dec. Went w/ Roku & Hulu so we could get FNC & FBNC. However we went over our usage w/ Comcast. You get 2 free months of overages, used them up.
We are being more careful about usage, but in a few days I have to decide whether to go back to Dish, which is on a $5/month hold or stick w/ the new setup. Even w/ overages the new setup will save ca. $25 a month. The incentive to go back is Dish will give us a discount for a year if we do.
So it all depends on the discount they offer. Is that clear as mud, LOL?

If you get a Roku stick you can get Fox News, but they are all rebroadcasts.
So you can't watch in real time unless you also have the cable box.
Posted by: navybrat at March 18, 2018 03:46
Get Roku and add Hulu you can get it live. Cost $40 month, better than Dish's $105 or so. Just watch out for data usage overages.

In a world of properly limited police resources, it's best to recognize where to put them to use.

The kid can play basketball so as far as the world of education goes (or indeed the wider world) he can do as he will damn well please.
Schools (especially HS and college) view themselves as sports training academies first. So if you are good at a sport, nothing bad can happen to you. Any other student would have been thrown out promptly. It pays to be an athlete-student.

I'm in IT and have been for nearly 40 years. I don't get upset when someone characterizes us as unsocial nerds, even though it's far from true for me. Because, sadly, I recognize it's general truth.

I read that in Australia, with their supposed gun ban, only about 25% of all guns have been turned in since 1996.
Over 20 years, still three-fourths of the guns still in the bottom of Australian rivers and lakes.
Oh, and crimes on people have increased in double digits.
Could there be a link? yes, of course, TRUMP. Because in the 1990's, Trump probably visited Australia. Case closed!

People rip on California, but for sheer concentrated insanity on a per capita basis, I think it's tough to beat Minnesota.

Mexico to Minnesota is over a Thousand Miles.
California is just a step over the freshly manicured Nanzi grass lawn.
So you make an important point.
