@ Twyacht:
You're right, we just passed through. Perry showed us basicly the housing areas and one small grocery store where milk cost double of what it does here. (Everything cost double there.) My wife and I did walk on the Fringe area, which was easy to tell because there were no crowds, when it started to rain. An undercover cop tried to sell me weed and then we went into a local bar when it started to rain. No problems at all.
You posted about the sport style riots:
Usually no personal injuries, and no gunfire, except probably in Detroit which is proof positive of a failed Liberal Minority run city.
I think Hell Night in Detroit is an honored tradition of setting things on fire. I'd like to see a demographic of which ethnic group is most responsible.
I was there for this part and I saw that video posted here recently. Two things:
First its called "Devil's night"
and it goes on for three days. You should know thta it hit it's peak in the late eighties and has gone down every year since.
Second: I'd like to see the demographic, too. I bet you''d see a bigger percentage of Canadians and suburbanites than you expected. Pyromania is listed as being caused by young whilte males and I bet this demographic loves to sneek in and start their own fires with those caused by the fringe group inside the city.
If gunfire from a sproting event is proof of a failed liberal minroity run city what do you call those rural conservative cities where people neglegently shoot their guns on the fourth of july and new years eve? Myakka City, Sarsota, Arcadia, Decker -MI, Punta Gorda, Cleveland -TN. Mainly white people there.
Did we join roughly the same time? I think it might be.
I like how you say "Mostly responsible" and not completely repsonsible. We need to work on that. (That means my statements as well.)
I don't want a politically correct approach to discussion. I want better worderd discussions that properly communicate the issue at hand. Right now I am seeing a broad stroke approach.
facts are hard to argue with...
Yes. The fact is not all people of a city partake in the riot of that city. The fact that in a area that has a high percentage of minorities living ther, there will be a high percentage of minorities policing to keep the area safe to the best of their ability.
Did you know there are still 22 unsolved murders from the L.A. Riots?
Did you know there were 20 buried bodies of muder victims in the undeveloped area where my first house with my wife was? A white seerial killer proudly told the police exactly where to find them. Without his confession, those 20 murders would be unsloved too.
As for taking the high road and lurking through the posts. If you double check, you will see that there are many posts accusing minorities of causing problems and damn few praising them for their accomplishments.
I live in Literalville.
The "race baiters" like Sharpton and Jackson, Farrakhan, even BHO, whip a certain ethnic group into a state, and if the outcome is not satisfying for them,....They take to the streets....
That would be a generalization and wrong. The proper "Literal" way to say this would be "
certain faction of an ethnic group"
And that's where the problem is. Broad strokes and accusing generalizations when precise, thin line accuracies are needed to properly communicate the thought.
Or to put it this way: You need to tighten up your groupings when it comes to your communications cause your wide spread pattern is hitting everyone.
I've seen those other forums you've talked about. I've seen non-gun forums that make this place look down right PC when it comes to wording and pictures. I've also seen sites that are really strict when it comes to expressing yourself. (leverguns.com) I think we can step up our game and communicate better without becoming PC or superstrict.
Let's see if I can put this in another way to communicate this better.
Do you remmeber how Michael Bane called the ruger Rimfire Challenge the large end of the funnel? Well that's what I would like this site to be when it comes to people who own firearms, curious about firearms, or curious about the culture.
Right now it seems like we're at the halfway mark of the funnel. We're missing a good chunk of people who can add so much to our own experience.
When we generalize and misscommunicare, we narrow ourselves to the tiny end of the funnel where less opportunity for new experiences.
Where on this funnel do you want to be and how do we keep membership growing?
