We will send our deserving criminals (only those convicted) up to Toronto and Ottawa so that you can hug them. This will help our northern neighbor score full marks in the area of diversity. How many do each of you want to harbor in your house. Or perhaps you could get your lord mayor to request a transfer of a few hundred thousand of these felons as a humanitarian gesture. What do you say Laddies ?? Maybe they can loot the Eaton Center or the Banff Springs hotel with impunity or they could go on a frosty skate on the Rideau Canal.

Ignorance isn't something you should be proud of William.

An estimated 28.5 percent of black men, 16.0 percent of Hispanic men and 4.4 percent of white men can be expected to serve a state or federal prison term.

WHY?

Very good question.

Easy knee jerk answer: black men and hispanic men are natural criminals.

Complex answer based on research: Black men and Hispanic men are more often poor because of institutional racism. They are less likely to be able to access a good lawyer, there is an inbuilt prejudice in the system, they are more likely to be falsely accussed. They are more likely to end up in crime because it is harder for them to get a job, good education etc etc etc. All the lovely things that go with prejudice and racism.

I once had a argument with someone here who used to post, who was quite ignorant and bigoted about race and the issues surrounding it. Because of his experience as a US citizen he believed that because most of the ghettos and bad areas in America were filled with black people and hispanics that there was something fundamentally wrong with those people and they deserved it.

Obviously he had never heard of places like Glasgow, or Belfast which have ghettos filled with white people and all the problems one associates with the black ghettos in the US.

Poverty, lack of opportunity, lack of access to law and so on.

Of course this brings us to your "slackers" argument.

Why is it Obama's fault if people are unemployed? Surely the high unemployment rate is just because people are "slackers". Obama doesn't have to do anything to fix the problem. Those lazy poor people just need to get on their bikes and go find a job.

I think that you will find that it is in proportion to those committing the crimes, offenses and felonies. It's not because of any implied prejudice.

The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world, so it seems that William believes Americans are the worst people on Earth and deserve to be imprisoned.

I shall be charitable and attribute it to the quality of the water he must be drinking.

He must have been joking. There is no way he could come out with something like that and be serious.

I'd be wary of this one too as the US incarcerates a disproportionate number of blacks and the poor.

What's a slacker/leech? Google-video or youtube "free obama money." You'll find several specific examples there.

Why are most of those videos uploaded by a youtube user with the handle "greatguyintx"?

Not me.

OK, here's a definition of "slacker/leech" to work with. How about a person who refuses to be a productive member of society? How about a person who refuses to earn what he/she consumes? How about a person who has a sense of entitlement to other people's money with out doing anything to earn it? How about a person who refuses to recognize their field of expertise has an excess of other people who have their same field of expertise and refuses to find a field where there is a shortage of laborers and do what it takes to become an expert in a new field? How about a person who blames their ancestry on their current predicament? How about a person who feels their efforts are worth more than what someone else is willing to pay and therefore refuses to do anything and would rather continue collecting unemployment?

Is that enough of a definition? No? Then I don't know what your looking for.

Try giving me a definition of someone who is NOT a slacker/leech and then maybe we can work from there.

I truly care for all producers/slackers/leeches, sincerely,

Guy the Great!

Here's a bipartisan definition: the more you can post to S@H forums, the more you are slacking.
How's that?
Everybody happy?

Es99, your correct observation is not germane to my comment.

Gary, you made a valid point on who is a leech when you talked about the incarcerated felon. Society gives them food, shelter and clothing. I see a big disconnect when someone who is not incarcerated and does not have the opportunity to earn such is denied the three basics.

I'd be wary of this one too as the US incarcerates a disproportionate number of blacks and the poor. The justice is system is flawed and they are locking up far too many people.

Nope. He is talking about how Your Dear Leader has to go. And at 96 years old, and still with a Mind Like A Steel Trap, I would take His Advice.

Vote Your Dear Leader aka Makes U.S. ILL out of office.

I do not disagree in principal. Almost everyone has something they can offer to benefit society. Not all of those benefits translate easily into cash income. That is why I am using the definition of leech that I have posted.
