him saying that there’s no valid reason to point to asians as successful.

Same question to you paul. If white privilege is a big deal, such a big determining factor in future success, why aren’t whites the most prosperous race? Why are asians more prosperous than whites? am i wrong if i say it’s because having solid parents and making good decisions, is much more important than the skin color you were born with? i do t know if i’ve ever heard a democrat willing to admit it, they just dance around it.

So he didn't answer in the way you wanted so you needed to call him a j******?

he denied there’s a valid point.

i asked you the same, absurdly simple question, you couldn’t bring yourself to answer it

how flimsy are your beliefs, that you’re stopped dead in your tracks by a question that a child would ask. you guys go on and on about white privilege, when asians are more prosperous.

i asked pete why that is, and he insulted me for asking. i asked you why that is, and you dodged.

hilarious.

Why do I need to answer any questions? I wasn't involved in the discussion.

I'm just trying to figure out why you need to go ballistic all the time and insult people when you don't get a response in the manor you want. Similiar to the post I just quoted.

Who said you have to do anything?

But it's revealing, that you refuse to answer, yet I have shown a willingness to answer any question you'd ask. It's a luxury one can afford when one is honest, not enslaved by one ideology or the other, and has actually put some thought into why one believes what they believe.

I'm not going ballistic. But the most obvious and likely reason that you won't answer, is that you know the answer, but you hate it. You're not stupid.

I'll leave it here one last time, in case my question wasn't clear.

The left talks a ton about white privilege. Yet despite this so called genetic privilege, people of every race who have solid parents and make good choices and work hard, do well. People of every race who have a chaotic single mother and no dad, who don't work hard and make terrible choices, tend to struggle. Asians, who have the lowest rates of fatherlessness and the highest levels of education, are the most prosperous, even though they are not white. This is reality, because ________________".

Answer it, ignore it, insult me for asking, it doesn't matter, because whichever of those 3 choices you make, say nothing about me.

I didn't read it other to see you call Pete a jackass and couldn't figure out why you needed to resort to insults. I feel no need to respond to or read every post here.

I'm not going ballistic. Calling people Jackasses when their response isn't what you want is going ballistic. It is not the response a sane normal adult makes. But the most obvious and likely reason that you won't answer, is that you know the answer, but you hate it. You're not stupid. as I said above I feel no need to respond to or read every post here

Jeesh...

"It doesn't reveal anything. I wasn't involved in the discussion"

You chose to insert yourself, when you scolded me for insulting Pete, after not caring that he had insulted me first, again everything is OK when dems do it...

Some people (no liberals here, not one) think it's interesting to ask questions and see the answers, and also to answer other peoples questions. It's often considered one good way to learn. I've learned plenty from you and Spence and Rockhound and Wayne. But you guys, when someone makes a different argument, the fingers go right into the ears.

The guys here who are actually in the middle, have asked me repeatedly, why I bother. There is no answer. None.

That is funny because I have been told that multiple times.

Question about the person(s) who are "actually in the middle". Are they really in the middle and how would we know that or do they just post occasionally to mock and insult others w/o taking a position? Scott and SeaDangles (I doubt it was them) never really took positions, they just mocked and insulted others.

Do you really think I'd ever classify Scott and Dangles as being in the middle? Really?

I'm not a compulsive liar, nor an idiot, Paul. I'm a right winger, but not constant liar or a dummy.

There are guys here whose posts don't give an inclination that they are way off center.

But calling someone a "retard" for pointing out a study from the Brookings Institute, is OK...gotcha.

Insults, like everything else, only bother you when republicans do it. It's virtuous and noble when you do it.

So you want to limit the insults to what you deem appropriate? Here is a suggestion - don't insult others and then you will have the high road.
