Fisting isn't passe here yet?

Texas
 

OK, but if you follow the river you'll end up with a less "compact" district. The problem being that you can't have districts that both are compact and follow existing geographical features and political boundaries. Those goals are in tension.

I would rather take the subjective balancing out of the process entirely. I recognize that this produces apparent arbitrariness, but if we can live with gerrymandered districts, we can handle it.

I like guns.

The Cause of Poverty
 

I think it's awful that whites are so stigmatized by the unfair advantages they're born with in this country. Everyone understands that whites are born with more money, and do not have to face the prejudice that others have to face. For whites who make it to college or graduate school, people are all too willing to attribute their success to the leg up they had, instead of their innate ability or hard work. After all, whites are overrepresented because the playing field is not level. The stigma that results for successful whites is truly unjust. We ought to address the many disadvantages that minorities face, if only so that so many whites will not be stigmatized.

The Cause of Poverty
 

It is interesting that you think such a backlash against whites exists. I have never seen any example of it nor have I seen any studies to support it. Clearly you must be privy to studies I am not, and your personal experiences have been much different than mine.

I have been exposed to many studies that demonstrate the results of racial quotas instituted in many different countries including the United States. Without exception, these studies show that these programs have not addressed the problems they were created to address but have considerably altered people’s perception of the minority groups they were intended to help (including the perception among the minority groups of their own competence).

Would you be willing to share some of these studies you have been lucky enough to be exposed to that demonstrate that privileged groups in different societies that have experienced non-meritorious advancement among its members have been subject to a growing perception in the general population that the members of such privileged group are less competent in their chosen professions.

Or is it possible that such unmeritorious advantages enjoyed by such groups have been subtler than overt public government instituted quotas and preferences, and consequently the backlash you describe is less likely to exist?

You may like guns, but does your enjoyment of guns trump my desire not to be caught in the crossfire of armor piercing high caliber automatic rifle rounds?

Total Failure in Iraq.......
 

You liberals were correct. I really have to hand it to you. The invasion of Iraq was a complete waste of resources because Iraq has turned into a hell hole quagmire with no hope of ever turning into a democracy, or experiencing peace and prosperity. The risk was just not worth it because there was a hundred percent chance of failure.

Unlike the conservatives you were able to look into the future and see exactly what was going to happen. It was really stupid of conservatives to think that Arabs would ever embrace democracy. Just like we knew democracy would never work in Japan and Germany, we now know it won't work in Iraq.

Now that was a good show, wasn't it Hank ole boy. And that Elly May - Whew-eee! You should post a picture or something. You know, change the subject.

Hank, you are one clever guy!

Because I like you so much, though, let me let you in on a little secret that those of us who have been here, oh, a month or two have generally picked up.

Stop taking the bait. Because it's hard to resist dangling it in front of you when you do.

I'm sure I confused you, with that story about getting shot while running away from the battle. But you don't have to run away. Just play dead.

I know you're smart, so I'm sure you would have gotten this eventually.

I suppose that depends on who has more votes in the legislature.

In this episode we find out how the Hillbillies got to Beverly Hills. Jed Clampett's swamp, we find out, is loaded with oil. When a wildcatter discovers the huge pool, Jed sells his land to the O.K. Oil Company and, at the urging of cousin Pearl, moves his family to a 35 room mansion in Beverly Hills, California.



Let me help you out, boy.
More Here! We can just let all the people read all the episodes there, so you and I don't have to go back and forth with a couple hundred episodes.

Right, Jed? I think they all get the picture.

But I have to hand it to you. That was clever. Oh, and good job resisting that there bait.

GGG- you should know when to say when.
 

It's not bait, really. I like having fights, and I don't mind being stupid. Enjoy!
