I understand your frustration. You do understand his brain isn’t fully formed until about 25, right?

It’s unfortunate this will follow him for the rest of his life.

I completely understand the 25 age for full formation. And thank you for saying you understand my frustration. Actually, it is my grief on behalf for someone that I’ve known for 25 years.

But, I think the point is… Parenting skills and instilling personal responsibility, morals and values in our children from a young age. That got lost somewhere and we need to get it back.

My post was about Afghanistan versus Chicago, why are you trying to move the goalposts to specific neighborhoods in Chicago?

Because that’s where the violence is happening.

Ok, I was talking about the violence in the country of Afghanistan and the city of Chicago, the metric the poster I was responding to set. But you want to talk about US soldiers in Afghanistan and people in a specific neighborhood in Chicago. That’s fine, but there’s no need to reference my post when you do.

In order to succeed. You must prepare yourself for life. Without parental guidance, this is nearly impossible. They are born into an environment where there is little hope for escape. Racism should be the last of their worries. Not the first.

I 110% agree and believe that a financial bonus for the parent if the child performs academically will engage the parent/parents. That was the intent.

The violence in Chicago is happening in a specific neighborhood.

Chicago should be its own state. Sanctioned city. It’s been heavily corrupt for over
100 years. Ironically enough, Bernie Sanders went to college in Chicago.
Chicago is heavily Liberal Democratic also. Is there a correlation there? corruptness, evilness, and immoralness, and Liberal Democrats, for over 100 years? I think so.

That claim has nothing at all to do with the poster’s claim that I disputed.

GIve us the rest of Cook County and it’s a deal…

Abracadabra · 2018-08-15T17:07:11.781Z

Democrats already have most of Cook county in general.

They do. I am now expanding my conditions to everything north of I-80.

Abracadabra · 2018-08-15T17:24:20.993Z

Cook country should be it’s own state. If it wasn’t in Illinois, we’d have a big chance that it would stop going to the corrupt Liberals, and start going to the Conservatives.

Cook county should have more restaurants

It’s a fact, not a claim. It is a dispute of your dispute.

It’s a claim, and an inane dispute since you changed the metric on both sides of the equation to make it.

Negative. It is a valid dispute. How many people have been killed in your neighborhood?

I’m not interested in your modified scenario.

I didn’t modify anything. To calculate the murder rate for this situation, you can’t use the total population of the city because it isn’t a city-wide issue. And then claim “Chicago” is “safe”.

The violence is concentrated.

Oh please. You changed, “Chicago is more dangerous than Afghanistan” to “One neighborhood in Chicago is more dangerous than Afghanistan” and tossed in an “Americans only” math to help try to make your case.

Like I said, I’m not interested in your modified scenario.
