Homicide dropped about the time DNA testing became prevalent.

My proposal: more dinners with everyone invited. legalize weed and prostitution. Have men sleep with hot women, and violence will go down.

The only change I would make to this is legalizing all drugs and improving our ability to rehabilitate people.

People need to spend more time outside and in nature, imo.

Smoking a doobie while hiking in the mountains would do everyone good.

Ummm, have you read Japanese history before? In the dawn of the last century, they were almost certainly the most violent major civilization on the planet.

This may shock some people, but I agree. Heard a great sermon yesterday during one of my best friend's daughter's baptism, and it talked about the Good Samaritan. The point of Christ's teachings were not really "love your neighbor as yourself", and then people would ask "who is my neighbor". The Samaritans at the time were hated by the Jews as much as the North Koreans hate America. The point of the Good Samaritan story was "who can I be a neighbor to". It's strong message of Christianity and what Christians should totally embrace.

Amen brother. I want to live in your world.

Unless I could divorce her almost immediately and take half her cash, there's almost no way you could get me to marry Beyonce, at least if she's as controlling as I think she is. Next to Will Smith's wife, she has to be the most insufferable narcissistic bitch in entertainment.

So Bernie Madoff should have no record? What about someone who swindled thousands of old people out of their life savings? What if someone burned your home down when you were away? They should have no record?

I hate to be the get off my lawn old guy ranting about social media, but I do think that the proliferation of social media plus a million different websites, radio shows, and cable shows has not resulted in a great exchange of info, but rather most people retreat to their own echo chamber to reinforce their feelings and get riled up about opposing viewpoints, cops, BLM, Trump, Hillary, etc, etc. TD, for all its foibles, is an exception to that as a healthy platform to debate and call each other out.

We should put whore houses, weed dispenseries and strip clubs right before gun stores on every road

That way if you want a gun, you gotta pass up all dem titties and joints before you make your purchase


FWIW: I would never make it to the gun shop

The materialism, competition, intense pressure, keeping up with the jonses , bullying, social media, shallow, glamor, and not enough talking.

Who makes more money , having fun, getting laid more, or more friends.

Multiculturalism has its drawbacks


This.

It's the drawback of having so many different and very unique cultures living in close proximity to one another.

Granted some cultures are more tolerant (and tolerable) than others, but that's all I'll say about that.

Has he done his time?

Anyone with a record who has paid their debt and not repeated or committed violent crimes should get a clean slate.

Add giving a good male role model in a young man's home would greatly help society.

That's some mighty white activities you picked there, baw.





I used to live on one of the last black blocks in Bayou St John. They cooked out with each other more often than I've seen when I've lived in all white neighborhoods. And I've lived in damn near every kind of neighborhoods except a barrio.

They actually helped me out regularly out on St Ann. I was friendly to everyone. I'd even let the small neighborhoods kids play on my drum kit. They looked out for me, and I did the same. While it was one of the sketchiest neighborhoods I've ever lived, that block had a strong community feel if you acted like part of it.

Just meeting and getting to know people that grew up in complete opposite cultural and economic situations can have small impact. And that's usually why bigots and SJWs, while polar opposite, are usually clueless, and don't know a damn thing they're screaming about.
