And yet you keep responding.... the irony of that fact is lost on no one.

the dock worker was just doing his job and never makes physical contact with the first white gentleman. Funny how if these whites are so badazz... that they need six to take on the one older black man. A bit cowardly.

And like a good little internet forum poster.. you think that giving an explanation is exactly the same as condoning it. By your logic, If I explain why the demand for beer goes down as price goes up... I have a vendetta against those who drink beer. Well, on the bright side its a good thing that you are not a lawyer or an analyst who have to rely on more than warm and fuzzy feelings.

could you be any less objective?

Keep it up... the more you respond, the more you back up my initial assertion.

saying that all pedophiles are liberal or conservative shows that you know nothing about that despicable subset of the population

As the saying goes, "Give them enough rope".

The pontoon boat and its white owners/users were definitely at fault in this case. This does not condone the violence but they provoked it without a doubt. They could have moved their pontoon boat easily and went about their day but did not for a pretty obvious reason.

The title of the thread tells you all that you need to know about the OP. "Far Left".. hyperbole is the tool of those who do not have the intellect to understand complexity, nuance, etc.

Do you know why you only see riots in big cities? Numbers.. nothing else. In a given place, only 1 in maybe 500 is going to attend a riot. if you have a town of 2,000.. that leaves you with 4 people rioting. And everyone in the town knows who the four rioters are. Also, in a town of 2,000 (for example)... a riot is going to have no tangible impact on the nation/world.

Biased folks like those on this forum would have you believe that gay parades happen every day in every town. Also, they are the most adamantly heterosexual but yet they talk about penises and blowjobs vastly more than anyone else. I wonder why that is?

If and when I see someone who is not 100 lbs... I simply go about my business. Lots of other things that I could be critical of in others and myself. However, unlike others on here, I do not claim to be perfect.

I have no issue with this result. It should be just as easy/hard to undo a law as it is to institute it.

I have gambled $7 since coming to Reno in June 2010. I can't fathom why someone would want to spend the incredible amounts of time in a smoke-filled casino playing penny slots. 125K in losses plus 210K in losses is roughly 335K. Each play most likely cost 45 to 90 cents (it was penny slots after all). So quick estimate.. 335K attempts or plays in the span of 365 days. Just under 1,000 per day.

It depends on how you view.. piece by piece or in the macro (result). You could do the same with gambling.. You focus on one data point.. they won $1000 but if you look at the bigger picture and the person also lost $2500 for a net loss of $1500. On an unrelated note.. did a tax return years ago where the lady had $125,000 in gambling winnings. Sounds great. But then she had $210,000 in losses. All of this was done on penny slots at one casino.

the costs (negative aspects of slavery) far outweighed the benefits (skills gained). Its like saying that a rape victim should focus on the minimal benefits.. ability to endure trauma, and not the overall outcome.

But with politicos and the intellectual lazy.. you have to keep it simple. Two choices. One all bad and one all good. No room for context, nuance, or reality. This makes it simple for them to comprehend... for us or against us.

Interesting factoid that I came across today... the states with the highest unemployment insurance exhaustion rate (where the claimant uses up all of their benefits)... 1. alabama 9. Florida and 12. Arkansas. Hmmm... On the other end 51. Idaho 50. Utah and 33, Nevada

in today's musical selection.. here is one that most likely no one on here has heard of

probably because the data uses only the statutory city and not suburbs aka Metropolitan statistical area. it is details like that that make politicos like R10 all sorts of flustered.

Hmmm.. this contradicts your whole thread.

Going off into left field again... So the point is that FOX NEWS does not do the primary research. They get their data from the Census, BEA, BLS, etc... much like Statista does. I hate to tell you but the raw data is not red or blue/conservative or liberal.

And you think FOXNEWS does not just redistribute stuff that comes from the Census? Oh.. get this, Statista does the same. They get their data from the Census... Hmmm.. so it seems as if a republican says 2+2 = 4.. it is untouchable gospel but anybody else says 2 + 2 = 4... it is a lie. As for my moving to FL, no chance. It is not about politics. It is climate. I do not like humidity, bugs, and inclement weather.

Saying that there was benefit to slavery is like telling a child abuse/rape victim that a benefit of their trauma is that they learned to overcome adversity. Yes, being a child abuse victim hardens you and gives you thicker skin but would you choose it if given the choice... No

I am rooting for Colombia and/or Jamaica. Only because it would be cool to see smaller/less affluent nations have a moment in the sun.
