Why I hate Right Wing Christians
#27
RE: Why I hate Right Wing Christians
So the system ate my post.

Anyway I think we've been unintentionally red-herring-ing each-other here. I'll just give a last quick run down and then I'm done. 

1. "Regressive College Students": You seem to just be restating your position and providing no evidence; so just going to move on.

2. SCOTUS: You again restated your position and ignored my reply. Seeing as how I don't see any "big stink" being raised anywhere that I can find on the right about the SCOTUS decisions I sighted I'd wager your in the minority republican view on this, not the majority in which you claim. But, it's just a wager, so moving on...

3. "destruction of the family": I understand the talking point. You wrong on this. Here is why:


Quote:Blaming single parents for violence has long been a dog whistle talking point of the family values set, since the phrase "single parents" actually means "single mothers," and "single mothers" means "poor women." But now, it seems that some new data from Washington, DC is challenging that long-held assertion... — over the last 20 years, the murder rate in the District has dropped 75%, while the percentage of single mothers has remained steady.

Rather, it's more likely that (as I alluded to) poverty is to blame: 


Quote:Starting from the 1970s, studies in the US pointed more and more at the link between unemployment, poverty and crime. After that other connections with income level, time spent at school, quality of neighborhood and education were revealed as well. Fresh research from the UK even indicates that economic cycles may affect variations in property and violent crimes. 


But most importantly, what reveals the unmistakable connection between poverty and crime is that they’re both geographically concentrated - in a strikingly consistent way. In other words, where you find poverty is also where you find crime. Of course this doesn't include "softer" crimes such as corruption which causes massive damage to people's lives but in a more indirect type of violence. - See more at: http://www.poverties.org/poverty-and-cri...FDiOv.dpuf



As for welfare being some kind of trap to poverty, sure there may be some percent like the previous poster where this is true. But by and large this is not true:


Quote:And here is where the evidence undercuts conservative attacks on welfare. The data shows decisively that the problem is not laziness at all, but a lack of job openings.There are still three jobseekers for every job opening. In the dark days following the 2008 recession, that ratio was as high asseven people for every job opening.. Surely there are still people who would rather claim welfare than try to work, but with so few jobs available, these people don't make a real difference. Trying to nudge them off welfare won't expand the supply of jobs. It would increase the number of people looking for a job — and remember, there are already not enough jobs for those seeking employment.

All that aside I don't think your here to argue a point, just to share your opinion. That's fine. After all studies show that facts don't change minds. 

That's all I got. Have a good one and welcome to the forums. Good day!
