Where do you draw the line???

[David Floyd]

Across the line:

Regulating guns
Regulating orivate business outside of anti-fraud laws
Funding any social services
Funding foreign aid
Banning drugs
Banning any other victimless crime as well (gambling, prostitution, etc.)
Coercion

And things of that nature.

You gotta love those people who are either arrogant or rich enough to think that they'll never need social services, and therefore they can be done away with...

David, were you too slow to get the point of the exercise? In your genereal ideoology what are some ideas that are too far out? For instance, personal ownership of atomic bombs?

[KrazyHorse]

He's okay with that.

Any of the excesses of communism that you want to mention are basically not cool with me. Race-based affiramtive action is also out.

It's reading thread like this that really reminds me how different the political map is over there... As an European I find the very notion of branding feminists as liberals as, well, hillarious.

Me, I draw the line at people who think their own pet religion/ideology should be state-sponsored - be it the American moral majority, the Islamites, the feminists, the commies or whatever other do-gooder who wants the state to force their collectivist horse manure on me.

[KrazyHorse]

You're missing the point too.

When race-based police murders and race-based enforcement of the drug laws are gone, I will agree with you.

Dave, note that this caveat eliminates you from participating in the discussion.

Excuse me, I was just wondering if you could let me know what propoganda medium you subscribe to? I'd love to pick up a copy. I could use a few more laughs.

orange, the rebuttal to this claim , me thinks , is a simple 'two wrongs don't make a right' , I think.

We should only hope that that caveat eliminates him from participating in any discussion .

to quote Human Rights Watch:

Our research shows that blacks comprise 62.7 percent and whites 36.7 percent of all drug offenders admitted to state prison, even though federal surveys and other data detailed in this report show clearly that this racial disparity bears scant relation to racial differences in drug offending. There are, for example, five times more white drug users than black. Relative to population, black men are admitted to state prison on drug charges at a rate that is 13.4 times greater than that of white men. In large part because of the extraordinary racial disparities in incarceration for drug offenses, blacks are incarcerated for all offenses at 8.2 times the rate of whites. One in every 20 black men over the age of 18 in the United States is in state or federal prison, compared to one in 180 white men.


So you see, law enforcement in the United States is, as it always has been, biased against people who are not white. The letter of the law may make no distiction between the 'races', but the police, while enforcing the law (selectively) do. Drug use is just as rampant amoung whites in America as it is amoung blakcs; but the police in white neighborhoods don't stop and frisk people for no reason as they do in minority neighborhoods. And when drugs are found on whites the police just tell the offenders to throw the drugs into the bush or into the garbage.

In synopsis, when the playing field is level, we can terminate affirmative action.

Thank You.

Police forces are largest in the cities. Cities are dominated by minority groups, including African Americans.
