Causes of Crime

[Oerets]

From the outside of this argument of late an observer who reads these comments begins to wounder why the Race of persons is in the argument? Did I miss it's injection because I took the meaning of "Entitlement" as a general broad reaching all encompassing to the feeling of having earn or somehow the right to benefits. Thus leading to a propensity to commit crime.

One I disagree with because of my personal experiences. But then again I know "Christians" who feel "Entitled" because of this fact and feel God wants them to succeed and prosper. Then pull some dirty tricks to make it happen all in the name of being "Saved".

Or as it seems to me Race is being use to confuse the issue or to intimidate another. Much like when at times Israel is accused of abuse to Arabs, the attacker is accused of Antisemitism. When it was never the intention, just criticism of the countries actions.

Where do you get off telling people what they meant in a post? It seems to fit with your habit of sticking words in people's mouths and ascribing alternate, negative meanings to their posts. Give it a rest already.

Some excellent points, Barney.

Except, I believe the violence that takes place between Arabs and Israelis is at least partly, due to anti-Semitism. Radical Islamists will always refuse to share their space with non-Muslims.

Sometimes but not all the time. There are also Radical Israelis who feel the same towards the Arabs. It is a real mess that I see no end to as long as a mutual agreement is not made. Not my way or the highway. Both groups are a proud people and need to save face and sacrifices.

This might be a good place to start looking into the history of the mideast.

However that's irrelevant in this case as the two of you have chosen the morally repugnant position of endorsing Police brutality, thereby defeating yourselves before you even got started.

Nope, all my material is original.

I'm a talented son of a bitch.

You just can't stop making shit up. Show me one post where I endorsed police brutality.

Why?

You'll just deny it as always.
