..and in other news

Yeah, I agree with this, and it's why I didn't take issue with a lot of the conservative backlash to things like the idiotic Bud Light campaign (and I may not have purchased much Bud Light since).

But I'm not seeing it here. This is "can't we all get along" corporate gobbledygook. Is anyone really offended?

I have an alternate theory. Websites like Outkick are concerned they won't sustain their growth levels (and over time may lose viewers) as wokeism falls apart, and are going to increasingly try to manufacture outrage on things that are largely innocuous. Like Breitbart in 2016, Trump's 2024 election probably the Waterloo for the right's cultural vanguard.
This is all a REPEAT of The Peter Principal book !
 
Soros shouldn’t be getting the Prez Medal of Freedom for being a Dem hack, and progressive prosecutors are bad.

But homicides stats continue to be horribly misunderstood by the public. For example, what percentage of Rs would know that I live in a far more dangerous city than NYC from a perspective of murders? Probably a low number.

Has nothing to do with Dem cities. As cities get older, and bigger, they develop problems. Has nothing to do with politics. Highest crime cities and states are Red. Next stupid theory.

You drive through a small red county going 8 mph over the speed limit and you are getting pulled over and getting a ticket. Rob the local CVS and you are going to get arrested.

Go to a big blue city and do the same thing and nothing happens. No crime recorded. Heck, I can drive 30 over and I’m not getting pulled over unless I get in an accident. Even then, a police officer probably isn’t coming.

I learned this when I was 16 and my Dad talked to me about driving through small towns in Central Illinois. It’s true to this day. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows this. It impacts the data significantly.

Any Landman fans on here? Pretty entertaining show imo. My neighbor owns a 35,000 acre shale oil development in south TX. He has not watched the show yet.

I've owned several Diesel mv's, back when diesel was cheaper than gas. Great cars very little maintenance issues.
Range was good, my Excursion would go from Atlantic Ocean to Columbus Ohio on one tank (That's over 600 miles !)

Here we go AGAIN on his murder rate thoughts that are estimates. I estimate he needs drugs to calm down in his dangerous residence.

Your driving license is not a right, abuse it and lose it.

Enforcement of MV laws is usually something that is low on the totem pole in an Officer's tour, depending on the census of the Dept in square miles and the individual Officer's interest in MV laws, and most especially the crime rates. The NJSP act as both local law enforcement and Interstate and Toll roads in NJ. Troopers on Toll roads could be responsible for as much as 100 miles or as little as 10 depending on # of patrols or traffic conditions.....or.....you could be assigned to a local county of over 50-60 square miles.

You have very little chance of being stopped and ticketed either way.

Are you feeling lucky today ? Some States gain significant revenue for tickets: Speeding fine, Court costs, DL surcharge for DL renewal, MV insurance rates. All for getting to Grannies 10 minutes earlier !

So simple and so wrong that I actually chuckled when I read your post. Thanks.

Well, ya, you’re an idiot.

Drive 10 mph over the limit in Wyoming, and you’re getting a ticket. They have nothing to do and go after minor crime. Go an hour and a half south to Denver and you will never, ever get pulled over for a similar crime.

If people don’t think blue cities allow people to get away with more than small red towns, they aren’t willing to have a real conversation. Everyone who has lived in both urban and rural areas understands this.

Public marijuana use is another easy example. People aren’t getting arrested for smoking weed in public in big cities. Try that in a small town and you are getting arrested.
 
Boeing has 2 things going against it. Wokeness and no other realistic competition in the US. That’s how they make a crappy Starliner that strands a couple of astronauts at the ISS. They need to eliminate the DEI and stick to making big old jet airliners that have been thoroughly tested for mistakes prior to unleashing them into the market.

We cannot have the suicidal empathy that Europe has for migrants. Disgusting and shameful what they have allowed to happen.

First, continental Europe is currently more restrictive on immigrants than the US. Europe has mostly decided the immigration project from 2015-17 has failed.

Second, this story is actually from a decade back (but the conduct at issue was committed even earlier).

Third, there are real questions about where you want migrants from on a cultural level. Almost everyone involved in the bad conduct here was Pakistani (Muslim) in origin. Immigrants from Central America are not like immigrants from Muslim Asia and North Africa, even tho both tend to be poor and less skilled. I am personally quite skeptical of much immigration from the belt of Islam across Central Asia and North Africa.

Fourth, Elon Musk takes a lot of you for suckers. A week ago MAGA was mad at him for supporting H-1B. Now he’s recycling a story from years ago to go after less skilled immigrants, all the better it’s not demonizing anyone in the US. What a great move by him.

I never ever thought the right had such idiots that they’d be so blind to constant manipulation by a handful of leaders, but then again with the changes in our politics maybe they didn’t used to have them.

If stuff like this is ignored, it will happen again. We have seen how the left has suicidal empathy, and it needs to get under control.

Only an idiot would think this stopped over a decade ago. Head in the sand. I know your position though. Child exploitation isn’t bad, only murder. Heck, you consider a lot of the children being exploited, prostitutes. Same position the Pakistani men had. Gross.

Patrick I’m sorry you about whatever has gone wrong in your life.

I admit it … I’m not interested in fake debates over real sex crimes in England that happened 15 or so years ago. So Elon can suck up to MAGA and distract from his recent aspostasies.

I’ve added you to my mute list to save time. I tried because I thought you might listen. But nah … few do.

Dtrain79 out!
 
I am not sure what to think about this one. Enjoy the thread, gentlemen.

My Sister self examined a lump, delayed 6 months for examination for her Daughter's wedding !
Cancer, radical and chemo. Bone cancer 7 years later.
Same Daughter with cancer, radicals and chemo. Same results.

Have your females checked yearly ! Her 3 Daughters ? Semi-annual !

I am guessing we would prefer Central America as you pointe out. With that said, we are seeing incidents of rape/ murder from that area. Probably not as large of a problem as the Muslim Asia or N Africa, but any indication it could become a problem should be met with swift legislation to combat any potential problem. I believe your new party disagrees.

I believe that they are uncovering some instances of cover ups of migrant rape in Europe. If this is the case, do we know how big the problem is.

It is kinda like the Biden Admin bushing the crime numbers and correcting them years later. Who really knows what the truth is?
