• Welcome to OGBoards 10.0, keep in mind that we will be making LOTS of changes to smooth out the experience here and make it as close as possible functionally to the old software, but feel free to drop suggestions or requests in the Tech Support subforum!

I'll just leave this here....

When you guys are ready to talk solutions (and actually listen), please advise. Until then, rest assured that racists like Michelle Obama are shouldering your share of the load.
 
Thanks for your genuine attempts at advancing racial discourse today jhmd! So close!
 
When you are ready to understand the concept of context I'd be happy to not take you up on that offer.

Please help me find the context that would excuse us from concern about what the First Lady is concerned about. When 70% of children in a community are born into single parent homes, we probably should stop shooting the messenger. In no context should that be deemed a tolerable nuisance. Let's fix things together and not worry about whose idea it was. What would it hurt?

So does she have a point, or not?
 
Michelle better watch herself with those comments or she's headed straight to the Bill Cosby Uncle Tom doghouse

Is that the context of this? I also am not watching the video at work.

Great, what's your plan? Let's start there.

But you are not ready to talk solutions, and neither is Paul Ryan.

Of course I am. Have been for quite some time, but it's hardly up to me to for people to follow the open secrets of not engaging in self-destructive behaviors to at least keep yourself in the game. That should be the easiest thing for people to agree on, and not doing it grinds every other remedy to a halt.

And yet when you propose it you are a racist. Or trolling. Or the First Lady.

Solid foundation. So what's your plan exactly?

I think we've been over this close to 10,000 times, but finishing your free public education (in your control), not starting your family until you get married (ditto) and working the best job you can (also mostly in your control at the entry level) is the single best way to avoid poverty statistically. People who do those things set themselves up for the best course in life. Our current system actually disincentivizes this behavior, and we're not even allowed to talk about it. Witness Paul Ryan. I'd like to do more than talk about it. I'd like to fix it by reversing the incentives so that we still begin rewarding working poor people with more aggressive EITCs and caps the time people can stay on long-term unemployment. It's not just by far the most logical and proven thing to do, but it's also the most humane.
 
Our current system does not disincenvitize that behavior.

The most humane? Interesting.
 
And if people don't comply?

The difference here that you fail to grasp is that the First Lady backs up her admonishments with her advocation of real-world economic solutions that would create opportunity for these folks, while you and Paul Ryan double-down on economic ideas that have proven to only worsen their plight while simultaneously blaming them. So your admonishments ring hollow, dig?

Bill Maher was just trolling his panel and you are eating it up.
