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.

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…

Democrats already have most of Cook county in general.

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

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.

Why is this so hard for you?

Enjoy the rest of your day, Sneak.

Are you denying that the area of Chicago in which this violence takes place is more dangerous than Afghanistan?
