    Professional journalists are educated....not all members of this forum are....if you catch my drift. [​IMG]

    To be fair, misunderstanding the English language isn't just on foreigners. It could be a matter of education or "learning difficulties".

    there is a fine line between being educated and propagandizes
    and with this batch of so called professional journalist we have floating around today with their bias, partisanship, agenda driven, false narrative creating and lack of journalistic ethics
    they weren't educated they were propagandized

    It's not that fine a line. Pretty clear to educated, intelligent and sane Americans.

    The sad truth is, most of our "media" is just tabloid BS. Why? Because media is a business and those that give people what they want most, make the most profits. Ever see minorities complain "there aren't enough movies about us!!!"? Is it because Hollywood is corrupt and bigoted? No, well at least not bigoted racially, genderly or anything else except to make a ton of ****ing money. That's what it's all about, just like Trump hiring foreigners over Americans, it's about the money. Nothing else.

    You can tell who they see as the most dangerous.

    Civility is not a Moral Absolute -- It's a Social Compact. And When Your Counter-Party in this Compact Ignores His End of the Deal, You are Acting Justifiably When You Ignore Your Obligations Under the Torn-Up Contract As Well.

    Conservatives need not fear because they are the ones who support the 2nd amendment. It's the left who would be fighting unarmed.

    He was not president at the time, he was a private citizen. Anything more current?

    That's because socialism is a bad idea, and bad ideas must be enacted by force.

    They always seem to forget that it is the Constitution our loyalties lie with, not the government.

    Of course, what he fails to recognize, is that 70% of Baltimore is black, including the police officers, judge, prosecutor and jury.

    I dunno how much the good outweigh the bad. When an entire police station is in on it, to hunt down black people like the Jim Crow era is still alive... it's hard to believe they are the only ones doing it like that in the US. That lack of confidence in how police are treating black people in the US, that's all on the hands on the police. I don't recall a lot of them being fired for say killing unarmed people for no real reason.... while a city is stuck with multi millions settlements all the time. It doesn't add up. And the credit is due where it's due.

    lol. Right. You first wanted to know where I lived. And now you don't give a damn.
    At no point were you able to point out how my alleged poor language skills caused errors here.
    All we got is you distracting with personal attacks.

    Dude, 49% of the Baltimore PD are minorities. I doubt they condone racism. http://www.governing.com/gov-data/s...cer-demographics-minority-representation.html

    Additionally, most intelligent and educated Americans know that Maryland was with the North during the Civil War. Not a bastion of Jim Crow laws.


    A false statement, but feel free to produce any quotes where I asked where you lived. When you can't, will you admit to not understanding English or will you apologize for making false accusations?

    You are off your rocker Max. Your knowledge is zero.

    The New York Times denounced Baltimore's racism as “the most pronounced ‘Jim Crow’ measure on record.”

    You were home schooled, no?
    How on earth can you claim to be all that American, and be that utterly ignorant? lol

    It's you who claimed one thing, but your source said something else.
    It's you who asked me something I already responded to.
    It's you who put up a meme with crooked English.
    Just saying.

    Then why do you respond to my posts, Deni?

    Many Northern cities are racist.

    So you equate corruption with racism? Interesting.

    You've had several chances and still can't produce a single quote where I asked where you live. Are you honest enough to admit you made a mistake? Questioning whether or not English is a person's native language, and obviously it's not yours, is not asking them where they live. People who are fluent in English understand that point.

    Coming from a person who thinks Maryland had nothing to do with Jim Crow? lol
    And the point was,.. if cops in general are trustworthy. Remember?

    You didn't ask. You assumed it based on my supposedly bad English skills.
    Where you're skills about US history and language isn't really the stuff of envy.
    You want me to source it? Your memory seems to be like a sieve.

    Socialism promotes Big Government, and for humanity Big Government is cancer. Socialism always promotes the cult of the state.
    Marx, Engels and Lenin provide a very good definition of the state:

    “... Secondly, the state is a special force for suppression.’ Engels gives this splendid and extremely profound definition here with the utmost clarity.” "The State and Revolution", VI Lenin, Penguin, 1992, Lenin, pp. 17, 18..

    The bigger the government the deadlier the force for suppression.

    He really should. The outcome could have much different and unhinged liberals might get a lesson they need to learn in short order.

    I would have got up out of my chair, followed him, and knocked him out with one punch. But then I would have been hauled off to jail.

    He handled it better than I would have.

    Yeah well. The US is all about not having a big government. And indeed, financially it's doing great. And in return,.. affordable health care is just hardly there in the US. And the poor in the US, are just rock bottom begging for money poor in the US. Lots of previously hard working veterans are among them. You don't see that in socialistic northern Europe.

    Most Americans have always been exceptionally anti-government.
    The COTUS is anti-government, which is why almost all Americans remain very attached to their Constitution.

    "But the most important effect of the frontier has been in the promotion of democracy here and in Europe. As has been indicated, the frontier is productive of individualism. Complex society is precipitated by the wilderness into a kind of primitive organization based on the family. The tendency is anti-social. It produces antipathy to control, and particularly to any direct control. The tax-gatherer is viewed as a representative of oppression. Prof. Osgood, in an able article,46 has pointed out that the frontier conditions prevalent in the colonies are important factors in the explanation of the American Revolution, where individual liberty was sometimes confused with absence of all effective government."

    McConnell was apparently threatened by a mob this morning shouting "We know where you live!"
