On a whim I typed in Blockbuster ripoff and poof!! Tons of sites popped up . 100's of people with the same gripe as mine most even worse. Just think of the millions of dollars they are making off us!! Screw them!
Netflix...I think it's called is an online video store that you can rent as many videos as you want and keep them for months for just 20 dollars a month. They send you a big envelope to send them back...No shipping charge. I heard Blockbuster is planning to compete with them soon on this....They just lost my business forever!!

I think what you are talking about is genetic makeup.
Here is an example of what i was talking about.
Generalized Characteristics of Serial Murderers
serial murderers kill three or more victims, each on separate occasions. Unlike mss and spree types, serial killers usually select a certain type of victim who fulfills a role in the killer's fantasies. There are cooling-off periods between serial murders, which are usually better planned than mass or spree killings. Some serial killers (e.g., Ted Bundy) travel continually and murder in several locations; others (e.g., Wayne Williams, the man convicted of killing children in Atlanta, FL) are geographically stable and kill within the same area. The "Unabomber&" (Theodore Kaczynski), who apparently remained in one place but chose victims from different parts of the country for his carefully constructed mail bombs, reflected an unusual combination of serial killer characteristics.
Because they plan their murders, often travel long distances between their crimes, kill for idiosyncratic reasons, and frequently wait months between killings, serial murderers are difficult to apprehend. However, social scientists have gained some knowledge about these criminals, who may number as many as 100 in the United States alone. In general they are white males, aged 25 - 34, of at least average intelligence, and often with charming personalities. Many were illegitimate and experienced abuse as children. They tend to select vulneralbe victims of some specific type who gratify their need to control people. They prefer to kill with hands-on methods such as strangulation and stabbing. They are often preoccupied with sadistic fantasies involving domination and control of their victims; these -

, that proves that crime is an equal employment opportunity.
It also proves that certain ethnic groups choose this "opportunity"
but I'm not sure that going to jail is "characteristic" of black and latino cultures. It may be a harsh reality, but I also think they are victim to their surroundings and circumstances. I think you'd find an alarming co-relation to uneducation and poor living conditions in all the stats you provided.
Don't you think that character (characteristics)is something you develop by way of enviorment and influence?

You have to admit some ethic groups have certain charactisitcs.
Care to expound on that Lucy? Very curious as to your thoughts....
In 1994, one in three black men between the ages of 20-29 were in prison, jail, on probation or on parole. In 1995, 47% of state and federal inmates were black, the largest group behind bars. Black men were 7 times more likely than white men to be in prison. In 1993, Asians, Pacific Islanders, American Indians, and Alaskan natives made up 2% of prison population. Native Americans are 10 times more likely than whites to be imprisoned. Latinos are the fastest growing group behind bars. Between 1985 and 1995 Latinos jumped from 10% of all state and federal inmates to 18%. In 1993, whites made up 74% of the general population, but only 36% of federal and state prison inmates. In 1970, there were 5,600 women in federal and state prisons. By 1996 there were 75,000. 60% of that population are black and Latina. In 1993, the overall incarceration rate for juveniles was 221 per 1000,000; for Latino youth it was 481 per 100,000; and for black youth it was 810 per 100,000.

Micheal Jackson was born black and he is no longer black!
Whats wrong with telling eachother your ethic group....aren't you suppose to be proud of your heritage?
You have to admit some ethic groups have certain charactisitcs.
Why is it okay for blacks to make whitey jokes?? I see this all the time on these black comedy shows.

Spousal Abuse Thoughts
by DakotaRed ini have been having an ongoing discussion with a friend about spousal abuse.
she has come to accept and believe that i have never hit a woman in my life, but feels that i am a rarity.
i contend that i am not, that although too many men still hit their wives, they are in the minority.

The majority of men do not hit women.
I knew a woman that gave herself a black eye and told the cops her hubby did it ....he went to jail.
If a woman hits a man and leaves a mark she goes to jail also...so yes it is abuse when a woman hits a man.
When either sex hits ...they are insecure and controlling....not to mention childish.
