Paying a porn star to shut up about an affair is not a crime.


Just because they rank among the bottom in the US means nothing. Someone has to be #50. When compared to world standards, Oklahoma and Louisiana kids are some of the best educated in the world.


WRONG. Where did you get this idea?


Actually....they just want pay raises. The walkout has nothing to do with kids. If they cared about the kids, the teachers would go back to school and teach them basic math, reading, and writing.


right....cause we're just inventing connections out of thin air now.


So?


Really? Who said that? Are you saying that legislators made a conscious choice to put people in prison rather than educate them? Why would they do that? Money? Do you have any idea how much more expensive it is to incarcerate someone rather than educate them?


Source?


This illustrates that you're a nincompoop.


With no bias in your heart at all right?


Did you pass?


I'm pretty sure proclaiming "Yay drugs" while getting a drug test qualifies you as the stupidest person I've encountered in 2018 thus far. Last year I saw a store clerk watch a customer's debit card get declined by two point-of-sale devices and an ATM machine. Then the clerk said "i'll take a check". That store clerk was the winner for 2017. But you are well on yoru way to topping that. BTW, that store clerk was in a state that ranks #2 in education...go figure!


That's actually not a bad thing. Inequality (and it's related symptom...crime) is a consequence of prosperity.


You master debater you!


here's a fun experiment. Could you afford to live in Amsterdam?


Millions?? Where are you getting this number?


There's that number again. I think you would be shocked to learn that TRUTH is that the number of people in federal prison who's worst crime is drug possession/use is less than 300.

LESS THAN 300!!!!!!!!


How? And btw......why do you keep referring to "Trump supporters". Do you mean me? I'm not a "Trump Supporter". Im an independent thinker who supports reason, fairness, and truth. Sometimes that overlaps with Trump's policies, and sometimes it doesn't.

Having sex with a porn star 12 years ago is not a crime. Bank fraud and wire fraud is though. If I have an attorney, that doesn't mean bank fraud and wire fraud laws no longer apply to us.

"The attorney-client privilege has always included a “crime-fraud exception,”"

Higher incarceration rates among high school drop outs. Why do you think better education would increase crime, is what I'm curious about? That's where you're gonna demand a source because what I said was too absurd to believe?

It's nice you're a stickler for truth. Do you demand the same fact checking from far right sources? Like Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones? These pundits are basically the main sources of information for OUR PRESIDENT. It's a well known fact, he watches at minimum a lot of Fox and Friends, and he invited Sean Hannity to Mar-a-lago. He calls Lou Dobbs for advice on public policy. He thanked Alex Jones shortly after being elected. These are Trump's most trusted sources of information basically in regards to media.

Are they the equivalent to Walter Cronkite in your opinon, I mean do you just buy whatever bullshit they sell you hook line and sinker, because they're the gold standard for "truth" in your opinion? Trump believes they're the gold standard for truth in this country. Remember Pizzagate? How about NASA running child sex rings in colonies on Mars? Came out of Alex Jones mouth, MUST BE TRUE, unlike say, high school dropouts commiting more crime than educated people. Yea that whole high school drop outs committing more crime than PHD holders, that's where your bullshit detector goes off, right?

As for the drug test, the only thing that matters is if I pass, heroin, crack, coke, weed, I don't do any of that shit. I drink alcohol on the weekends during my off time but that's about it, and a perfectly legal substance at that so long as it's not mixed with driving. What are you implying, she's gonna tamper with my pee? I pee clean, I can ask to be tested at a different facility. You're basically implying she'll commit a crime against me because she doesn't like my views on the War on Drugs.

As for the Baby Boomer comment, I own a book called "A Generation of Sociopaths", and it draws on many parallels where basically the Baby Boomers just utterly fucked this country over for future generations, to shore themselves up for the here and now, for example, Chinese debt financed tax cuts. Or super high incarceration rates mainly hits younger Americans than Americans in their 60's and 70's, her generation isn't getting fucked by high incarceration rates. It's a good read. Why I had to mention she was a Baby Boomer. In general I don't trust Baby Boomers, I think they make very questionable decisions in regards to public policy, or just as an entire voting bloc.

" When compared to world standards, Oklahoma and Louisiana kids are some of the best educated in the world."

I read this sentence as "Compared to 3rd world shitholes, Oklahoma and Lousiana kids are some of the best educated in the 3rd world".

I have seen this argument used a lot. That because our education standards are better in our shittiest most poverty stricken states than the Democratic Republic of the Congo, therefore we have GREAT education.

30th in Math and 19th in Science. We have large blocs of citizens who don't even understand basic climate science, believe in angels, and think the world was created 6,000 years ago, humans and dinosaurs were both around at the same time. The idea that the earth is flat is pretty popular in this country too for that matter.

Edit: As for the War on Drugs, it's been being waged for 50 years almost. So yes, it has incarcerated literally millions of Americans throughout it's entire span.

Right now we got about 400,000 Americans in prison on drug offenses. And it's been going on for almost 50 years, that easily could mean millions have been incarcerated under our drug laws.
