OK, but what do you suggest - we just write these kids off and never give them a chance? Sure, having 2 great parents is ideal, but these kids need help. You can't just say "oh, well - too bad their parents suck"

We tried everything. For decades. It didn't work. At some point you have to face reality.

and now we have just admitted that our country has a permanent caste system and is NOT egalitarian.

No caste system. If you want to rise out of the ghetto, you can. If you want to stay there, you can do that too.

you understand nothing about sociology

that's great - but it also means our certain destruction, too. It's a symbiotic relationship

I suggest you don't put too much stock in social science either. The core concepts and ideas are always changing.

And that's a choice we can make if we want to

what about numbers? Because statistics also show that your "you can get out if you want it bad enough" line is complete bullshit.

you've just proven that you don't understand statistics at all.

Sure, the one in a million person can get out of the ghetto. But the odds are HEAVILY stacked against this scenario. Even when these kids do EVERYTHING right, it is very hard to climb up the ladder.

The Post did several articles not too long ago on this. Look it up.

I'd like to encounter this "lot" of respectful atheists. Even within this thread people have been very insulting to believers. As a Christian, all I ask is that you give the same respect that you'd want for yourself.

Oh you poor poor Christian. I don't agree with insulting anyone's religion, but I don't think you get it because you are a member of the majority religion. How would you feel if your money started to read "In Batman we Trust", or if every town you drove through had at least three Batman Churches, but only one Christian church every 200 miles? What if you were considered rude for saying that Batman's birthday shouldn't be a Federal Holiday? What if you didn't want your children to have to say "One Nation, Under Batman, Indivisible" in school? What if the story of Batman ended with him being blown up with a grenade and everyone wore little grenades around their necks? What if you had to swear into court on the first Batman comic?
What if you knew, for a fact, that people would elect anyone who believed anything about Batman, but would never elect you because you didn't belong to any of the Batman sects?

Yeah, like that. That is what makes some atheists rude. Because we are swimming in it and can barely breathe. But I would never be rude to you, and I would never play the victim like the Christians do.

Oh please get over it

How are you 'barely breathing' exactly. No snark

We have gone too far with our acceptance of extreme body types. Especially in children. It's understandable if you're 40 and work 70 hrs a week. But 14? get your fat ass on a treadmill

The fact that they didn't seem to act fascinated and enthralled about the pardoning of a turkey, and that one wore a miniskirt that day seems to upset a lot of people.

Their dad (The President) was dressed formally, they should take a hint from that that they're not exactly going to the mall

Can you not use the emoticons properly?

I thought Obama ruined it already? Conservatives don't "do" consistency, I suppose.
