  • I actually am very well acquainted with this. I did data analysis for the corrections system for almost a decade. Worked with universities, and other government offices, and bodies, on this subject, and it’s surrounding subjects. I honestly know more about this than almost anyone who’s profession never crossed into studying and analyzing this subject.

    This is not the place to be having an academic conversation on the material conditions that drive poverty, and centuries of intentional disenfranchisement, and how those result in criminal behavior, problems with education, recidivism, impulse control, calculated violence, and the endless other factors that play into this situation, many we are just starting realize even are factors. I haven’t worked in it in about 10 years, so I am currently out of date outside of jaunts to update specific things when stuff like this comes up.

    if you would like I can recommend some reading though.



  • Most of the indiscriminate terrorist style mass shootings are white christian males, age 18-35, the majority of the criminal activity related (eg drug sales) is from black men age 18-30. Most of the gun deaths are from suicide, which is largely white men, but still high for black men.

    Most preventable child deaths in the US are from guns, however the vast majority from accidental gun discharge, not violence.







  • I mean we have had it out of the horse’s mouth he has committed war crimes, like firing mortars on crowds of people, and getting caught, having the mortar firing platform taken away, and then rigging a rocket launcher to continue firing mortars on people. Again, this is a war crime he admits to committing, getting caught, then working around the penalty to continue committing war crimes. This should have been more than enough to kick his ass out of the running.

    I guess allegation from white people are much more serious than war crimes committed against Afghani’s.

    Platner has said himself that he has committed multiple war crimes. This includes firing mortars at crowds of random Afghans, getting caught, having the the firing platforms taken away, then modifying other rocket firing systems to continue firing mortars onto crowds of people. This is just one of the horrific things he himself has said he has done. He never deserved to be a candidate.



  • and that was not what I claimed. The claim is that evidence shows it promotes cancerous development, it is not a complete carcinogen. So, you are addressing something that isn’t there.

    The claim I was addressing said it was as safe as caffeine, but evidence shows it promotes cancerous development, which is not being a carcinogen in and of its self, where as evidence is demonstrating caffeine can actually help to prevent cancer. Also, you are completely glossing over the deleterious effects on organs that aren’t cancer.
