That is not a tenet of evolutionary theory. Morality has nothing to do with evolution, except where it would provide an advantage or disadvantage to survival and reproduction. Jim |

I'm wondering when we'll see people (ARFCOMmers?) sitting outside of city limits with some .50BMG's picking off individual criminal scum on behalf of the police.

The typical "shoot 'em all" and "seek and destroy" team responses aside....
What is most realistically gonna be the solution (or lack thereof) for the wild animals on the loose in N.O.? Will the .gov ignore and hope it goes away? Will or .mil have to go in and treat it like a warzone? It seems like N.O. is seriously on its way (if not already there) to becoming a third world crime hole. |

michaelj1978: you're acting like an ass. That was only racist if that's what you wanted to see. The comparisons are obvious, for example, mob rule, firepower and attacking the legal authority. Another thing that's obvious is that you are a provocateur, rather than a discussion partner. |

If one has never been taught / enlightened with regards to their "concience" (read: moral compass), do they still benefit from it? What I'm asking is: If you have never been taught right from wrong, or that 'a little voice in your head' makes you feel guilty if you do a bad thing, do you still realize your "concience"? In that case, would one even have what you percieve to be your concience? |

Hmmmmm. I wonder how the ROPers in Iraq are seeing this?
One possibility: "If they can't gain control of one fairly compact, admitedly waterlogged city in their heartland against a few thousand loosely co-ordinated (to be generous) thugs, dont't you think we can hang on here 10k miles away? This country is beginning to look foolish- not a good thing for the self-proclaimed "World's Remaining Superpower." |

"All units IRENE, I say again IRENE"

Of the 2 million prisoners in the United States, 50% of them are black.
Of the 200 million people in the US, 12 million are black. That means 10% of the entire black population is in jail. That means black's are 500%+ more likely to commit crime then any other race. Statistics, Statistics. They are also the poorest people in the country if you compare races. Is it something to do with black people? Or just a fluke in statistics and has nothing to do with being black? I will lean towards it having to do with being black. |
|
Oh, you've done it now. You've gone and posted FACTS that support unpopular ideas!
Being right won't make you popular with apologists and the politically correct. But... FUCK the apologists and the politically correct! My county is 12 percent black. My county jail is 80 percent black. YES, THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE AND ITS ROOTS ARE RACIAL! CJ |
|
yes but according to most if you belive this then you must be racist.... |

Can you give a morally compelling reason why not? "it's just not right" is not good enough. WHY is it not right? And the answer to that question must not only be sound, it must be a compelling reason, a reason that forces other folks to accept it. You may well decide that robbing raping and killing is not right for you, and you may even have nice reasons why. But do those reasons impose themselves on your neighbor? Would you like them to? What if your neighbor decides that robbing and killing you IS right for him or is in HIS best interests, what moral right do you have to tell him that it's wrong? Our culture has foolishly adopted a reletivistic moral system that says "don't impose YOUR morality on ME" We now see that played out in the extreme in NOLA. Two basic philosophical questions are being asked and answered: 1. what is right and wrong? 2. who has the authority to enforce the answers to #1? If the individual decides, then thre will be many different and conflicting systems, and there is no compelling reason for one person to accept the moral system of someone else, EXCEPT THROUGH FORCE. But if there is a God who decides the rules himself, and will judge each individual for his actions, we then have a universal, transcendent (not based on man or his ideas) standard moral system and a compelling reason to obey it. Imagine the kind of order and harmony a society would have if there was no question about what the rules were or that there was a real good reason for you to obey them. Apart from a Creator, the only moral systems we have are ones created by people, and therefore they differ, and are probably flawed because people are inherently selfish. And because people are "equal" there is no way to determine which system is "right, superior, or better", and also no compelling reason for person A to accept the authority of person B to impose their moral system on everyone else. No, bibles dropped in will not stop the violence, because these folks have lived under this false philosophy all of their lives, and to suggest that that is my solution is plain stupid. Have we sown the seeds that we're reaping? |

That you McUZI? |

Your an idiot. How about they just shoot the people who are posing a threat. Not walking/running down the damn street. |

I'll say it agian, you cannot segregate "religion" from the other areas of life and treat it as a separate and autonomous consideration. It affects every other area of a person's philosophy, including morality. whoops double tap. I have an intermittent wireless connection... sorry |

You Kidding? You seen how much gasoline is? |

Why do I always see the same thing. Watts,LA riots,New Orleans,Basket Ball Championship |
|
|

|

You mean other than its how you want, and exepct, other people to treat you if you were in their shoes? Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. That is not a uniquely Judeo-Christian philosophy... |

I don't beleive in god and I would never do the things that are going on in NO. I am a law abiding citizen and I respect peoples property, I dont need god to be a good person and I never will. You need a crutch fine have at it. |

This is happenning because the long arm of the law has been disabled. This same thing would happen in any major city where they hesitated to crack down and impose law and order in a rapid fashion. |

It is not a racial issue, it is a cultural issue. It is the ghetto or thug mentality that is the true enemy here. |

this is NOT a racial issue. You won't find black folks in Paris more prone to crime or riots or whatever.
This is an American ghetto CULTURE issue, which happens to encompass predominantly black folks. The welfare state has almost entirely undercut and destroyed the black family, ruined it's male leadership (both personal in terms of family and general in terms of culture). and created a whole culture of people who are economic and political parasites- they live off the labor and enterprise of others. And the culture is growing... Back to the religion thing, it's not a separate issue: The Bible says if a man will not (not cannot) work, then he should not eat. But we decided that the Bible was wrong and that we had a better idea... Have we sown the seeds we're reaping? |

You are right on the money |
|

Nobody does care. And if the people (no matter what "type") of NO keep acting like they are, nobody will care enough to donate any money, either. |

That should read: "Of the 290 Million people in the U.S., 12% are black." There are around 35 Million black people in the U.S. |

He would liquidate the thugs and make sure the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port was rockin' and rollin'. Fuck looters. Fuck PC. It's time for national survival. |

These people have already lost the opportunity to drive away and their homes/businesses are destroyed. That means they need to seek high ground, they need to find food/water, and they shouldn't leave their weapons behind. I am not saying that all these people are innocent or anything like that, but just having a weapon doesn't make them criminal either. How the hell do you have a curfew when you have no home to go to. |

Isn't this like the weather man saying a forty percent chance of rain,doesn't that mean there is a 60 percent chance it won't rain? So by your own statistics by saying 10 percent of the whole black American people are in prison,does that not also mean that 90 percent are just hard working good old American joes?? Get your ducks in a row!!!!! I'm all for thinking that 90 percent of the black Americans are glad that the ten percenters are there!!! Bob |

They are black and white. Scum of the earth. dreg of society. Let darwin take over. Whos cares if the majority are black? I don't. The more dead morons there are, the better.

This is the result of decades of liberalism. |

All kidding aside. Gas shortages get worse, prices keep going up. How much longer will it be before we see fights in the gas lines, tempers running short, and god forbid, people killing each other because they cut in the gas lines. Every day we are just *this* close to anarchy. Times like this make me really appreciate what I have. |

You should have stopped there. |

If he had left religion out of it, it would have been a perfect post. |
