  @coalize: Quetzal is incidentally quoting victimization rates but misreading the statistics. He reads the statistics as the case that blacks are slightly less victimized than whites, hence there are less criminals in the black community. What he is ignoring is that blacks only make up 12-14% of the population. This is a typical left-wing fantasy that everything in the world is and has to be 50% for blacks and 50% for everyone else.

  As the report itself reads: While blacks accounted for 13% of the U.S. population in 2005, they were victims in 15% of all nonfatal violent crimes and nearly half of all homicides.

  He's also misquoting me deliberately on various points to make his point.

  Institutional racism (race-based characteristics explicitly on the books to make decisions) no longer exists, Dems continued the welfare policies but rebranded them this time as a good thing for blacks, totally ignoring their backgrounds. That doesn't mean the welfare policies or the systems are currently racist or that Dems are racist for pursuing them, because the wording and activities surrounding them that applies to blacks has been removed. But the unintended consequences of welfare remain the same, not because welfare today is racist but because welfare in and of itself is still immoral. Their intentions have morphed and now the intent of the Dems continued reliance on the welfare state is to buy votes instead of a platform, like Biden said, if you don't vote for him, you ain't black.

  @Quetzal:

  There is plenty of research showing that intergenerational wage mobility is greatest with conservative men than more liberal leaning counterparts. This sociology research goes all the way back to the 60s. It also points out that extremism of any sort (whether it's religious or political) is associated with downward mobility.

  That doesn't mean everyone who votes Republican will suddenly have their kids become rich, but it's statistically a better chance that within 1 or 2 generations you are lifted out of poverty.

  The simple fact is that conservative values (dual parent households, get married and have a job before kids, take care of your parents and grandparents, don't be a criminal) are associated with much greater wealth generation indicators, it generates more income in a household and less instability if one income drops off and thus less reliance on crime to supplement income.

  This has nothing to do with your race by the way, sure, any minority group will have it more difficult because they are a minority group and thus need to do more to get out of whatever well they are in, but likewise, minority groups that are lawful (eg. immigrants and racial groups alike) will almost certainly have their kids do better vs minority groups that are illegally residing here and kids with parents that are criminals.

  As far as why Democrats suddenly started making inroads in the black community is pretty easy to find out: the kids growing up post-civil rights became reliant on government cheese. Democrats started giving out more and more handouts in an effort to destabilize black economies. Eventually all the racists died off but the policies remained. The policies Dems like FDR designed in the 40's and NYC and other cities and states as well were specifically coded to destroy Black communities, for example, NYC had a policy that if you took welfare checks and a black male was present in the residence during a random welfare check (which were targetted), welfare checks were discontinued - as a result you have less black males, both fathers and other role models in the house. Just like Planned Parenthood's original motivation was to reduce black babies being born, the motivation of welfare was to disrupt and reduce the black population.

  So yes, institutional racism existed until the late 60s and as a result, welfare policies were designed with a racist background. However the welfare never went away, the Dems simply rebranded them as 'good' and 'helping' and a generation of black people forgot the reason they were designed the way they are and is now wholly dependent on it. Breaking a dependence on free stuff is hard, even though FDR explicitly said that his policies were not intended to last, we have them, almost a hundred years later, in their original form and any politician that says he wants to get rid of Social Security and Welfare is committing political suicide.

  Jehovah’s Witnesses Reject Plasma Injections for COVID-19

  jehovah’s witnesses reject plasma injections for covid-19.

  https://www.newsintervention.com/jehovahs-witnesses-reject-plasma-injections-covid-19/.

  the jehovah’s witnesses have issues with modern medical information because this is seen as against the tenets of the religious faith.

  This is confusing, I thought individual 'parts' of the blood (eg. plasma) were allowed, but not whole blood. At least that was the case before I stopped carrying my "blood card" (about 15y before I left the JW). At that point, fractions were "medical technology developed specifically for JW" wholly allowed and not a 'conscience matter'.

  @TTWSYF: Abortion is a lot more nuanced of an issue. I personally don't support abortion except in the case of medical issues and that's where the grey part comes in, what percentage of risk are you willing to take for both yourself and the child and how much, if anything should we legislate.

  As a libertarian myself, I don't think we should legislate any of it, because the minute you do you run into the vagaries on both sides of the issue, that does mean it would be legal if one declares an unborn child not to be human, but that's a risk I'm willing to take to let government or a judge not ruin the life of those that effectively need it and those that don't want to do it at great risk to themselves.

  you @Finkelstein: I don't think you understand rioting. This is a kill-or-be-killed situation. Ask David Dorne, he was trying to protect his store, hoping an 'old black man' could talk to the 'adolescents' and inspire some wisdom about the actual racism and non-violent protests in the 60s. He got shot.

  And there are examples everywhere of police retreating and letting the citizens, often elderly, being beaten with 2x4's, stores and homes and buildings attacked with molotov cocktails, windows and cars smashed.

  These people aren't 12 year old shoplifting some Nike's. They are adults, making adult choices, they should learn to live with adult consequences. Antifa and BLM are anarchists, anarchism means the survival of the fittest.

  If the police won't help you, what recourse do you have in your own home when they come raping and looting and killing? This is real, both in Minnesota and in New York, the government is actually voting on defunding the police departments and it seems in Minneapolis they actually have a majority in city hall to push it through while in New York, the governor actually agrees with the rioters that his own police forces are bad.

  As far as Europeans: The Swiss are all well armed and have gun training in high schools. They have a reason and they are as a reason one of the richest nations in the world and maintained that status for hundreds of years.

  On gun laws: for some reason handguns require permits but rifles do not. In NY getting a handgun requires 9 months wait time, 5-7 character witnesses and an application to a judge. Rifles can be picked up as fast as they're shipped. A 9mm rifle is basically a handgun with a stock and a barrel but can be taken down to large pistol size.

  On assault weapons: all weapons are assault weapons, I have knives and batons, those are assault weapons too. There is no reason to have a full-automatic, lacks precision and gets out of control unless you have a fixed mount.

  Yes, America has lots of guns, but like Switzerland, it's a large area, there is no guarantee the cops can even drive to your house fast enough and as recently demonstrated, not an option if you live in a Democrat controlled area.

  For most roving bands of looters, a small cartridge is sufficient. It's not like a zombie movie, you shoot one or two and the rest will go running. That's the same with most criminals, the risk/reward is too high if someone starts shooting. That's why crime in high gun ownership areas is low and in liberal areas where guns are banned (Chicago, NY, CA) crime is very high.

  Drums and more bullets make the gun heavier and bulkier imho which in most cases you will need to hold a gun for a long time, not shoot it for a long time.

  my 87 year old dad called me for the first time in 16 years the other day .... just to chat.

  i was floored to say the least since he didn't even bother to call me when my mom died several years ago.

  he called again today to inquire how i felt about jehovah's witnesses.

  Your father is right, if you've been in the organization any time between the 80s and 2000s you have studied the apocalypse book and many other doomsday articles.

  The ending of the preaching work at the hand of the government was a prophecy that has now been fulfilled, the rest of the prophecy states that the "wild beast" (the UN) will attack religion (and Trump seems like the one to trigger that by defunding the UN or something like that) and then the great tribulation will start.

  The older JW have been hanging on to a lot of unfulfilled prophecy, even if they no longer teach them, many do remember them. It's another 1975 for many of the older ones I think.

  Leftism is a religion and JWs can't participate in this secular religion.

  Those that bend the knee for BLM/Antifa don't understand that it doesn't matter what you do, they're like King Geoffrey (GoT) in that way.
