Crime rates and voting

[Kidlicious]

Or D) Create a more cohesive society so they don't get produced in such high rates in the first place.

Hence, Kid, it is related. People who live with crime more closely are more likely to see this, and hence vote not-Repugnant.

Hmm..... Do they actually have a more cohesive society? Because then, according to your theory, their crime rate would not be so high. Don't forget, we aren't talking about just black on white crime. We are including all crime. What does cohesiveness have to do with a black person stealing from another black person?

Why do counties with high crime rates vote democrat, and counties with low crime rates vote republican? It can't just be criminals voting for democrats. In fact many of them are felons, so they can't vote. The rest probably don't vote either.

So if republicans are tough on crime why don't the victims of crime vote for them. Instead, people who are less likely to be victims of crime DO vote for them.

Republicans preach hard work, education, and faith in God.

Democrats preach free handouts from the government and atheism.

Criminals are godless leeches. Henceforth they are Democrats.

Their mindset is concerned with race. To them fighting crime is racism. To conservatives fighting crime is just good for everyone, ... except the criminal.

Black/White wasn't in my thinking. Basically, if a person feels like a valued member of the community, they're less likely to turn to crime. If they're treated like sh!t, they act like sh!t.

Now if we can only get Al Sharpton and Jay Z to tell young black men that they are valued members of the community unless they become criminals.

A chance at a job with a reasonable minimum wage would be a start.

And stop telling them that nobody thinks that you are worth anything unless you get paid $15/hr for flipping burgers. Do you see where I'm going with this?

[ricketyclik]

No. Do tell.

[Kidlicious]

No. Do tell.

Who tells young black men that they are not valued? It's not conservatives. In red counties they are told that they will be treated just like everyone else. You are valued for what you produce.

The biggest problem is the family, then the media, then the schools. They need to be taught to be grateful for any job, contributing to society. "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."-JFK

Anyone devoting their time to a job deserves a living wage.

And, like I said, I wasn't talking about Black/White. You are.

People don't always get what they deserve. That has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
