Your own figures prove you wrong.

Whites and Hispanics combined into a single demographic comprise 80% of the US population (63.75 and 16.3% respectively).  Blacks are 12.2%. These figures are according to the 2010 Census.

65.1% of the rapes (charged) were committed by 80% of the population.

32.5% of the rapes were committed by 12.2% of the population.

Your insinuation that Whites are more likely to commit rape simply does not stand up to scrutiny.

You really should read the information in your links before you try to use it to support your arguments.

I have some personal experience (as a law student) that suggests to me that if you're black and poor you're more likely to be charged with something. If that's true then it casts doubt on any conclusions you could reach from your numbers.

My brother is a social worker who has worked at the Cook County Jail for many years and just retired as a federal probation officer. He has said that the number one most significant variable in terms of someone who is likely to commit a violent crime is abuse or neglect as a child. Abuse and neglect occur more often in impoverished environments.

I understand that you're enmeshed in your ideology and that you don't believe that there is such a thing as impoverished environments. I know you have a very small mind, and no imagination, and you think everyone who is impoverished is at fault for being impoverished. You think everyone can be Rambo, as you imagine yourself to be.

But that's not true. We don't have a Manifest Destiny on an unlimited frontier anymore, and haven't had that for well over 100 years. 91.5% of our nation's GDP is generated from metropolitan areas and your nostalgic vision of how things were or should be is irrational and impossible. Tough shit for you doesn't work. It can't work.

LOL.  I'll bet your negro friends are all named "Imaginary."

No. I'm not at all like you.

How miserable are you going to be after President Obama wins in November?

Tell me tell me tell me tell me. Don't leave out a single detail. I want to know how much you're going to suffer.

Uh, oh... an appeal to authority. You had better watch it or John will be demanding that you produce your transcripts to prove you were ever a law student.

If that's true then it casts doubt on any conclusions you could reach from your numbers.

Uh, no, it doesn't. The figures reflect the demographics of people charged. Didn't they teach you in law school the difference between being charged with a crime and actually committing a crime?

Probation officer, not a criminologist... 'Nuff said.

Abuse and neglect occur more often in impoverished environments.

That is probably true.

I understand that you're enmeshed in your ideology and that you don't believe that there is such a thing as impoverished environments.

You don't understand nearly as much as you would like to believe you do.

I know you have a very small mind, and no imagination, and you think everyone who is impoverished is at fault for being impoverished. You think everyone can be Rambo, as you imagine yourself to be.

Yeah, whatever.

But that's not true. We don't have a Manifest Destiny on an unlimited frontier anymore, and haven't had that for well over 100 years. 91.5% of our nation's GDP is generated from metropolitan areas and your nostalgic vision of how things were or should be is irrational and impossible.

So, tell me Carnac, the Magnificent, what is my "vision of how things were or should be"?

This should be good.

He's not going to win.  Do you want to know why?

Because the Middle East is Jimmy Cartering him with the hostages and he doesn't know what to do.  Liberals never know what to do.

The end.

Maybe if Obama released all of their terrorists, they would release all of our terrorists?

I'm sure he will bow down to...well, to someone...if he hasn't already done so.

Would you respect an Irabian who couldn't protect their own citizens?

No, of course you wouldn't

Nor do the Irabians respect our "leader" who can't protect our own citizens.

*spits*

An Iranian toy maker has responded to US requests to return a downed RQ-170 spy drone by sending President Barack Obama a bright pink model of the plane.

Miniature versions of the aircraft, which was paraded on state television after it was downed near the Afghan border - will hit the shelves of toy stores throughout the Republic on February 1.

The manufacturer, Aaye Art Group, has held a special model back for Mr Obama, however, in response to a request that Tehran return the unmanned aircraft.

"We wanted Mr Obama himself to have these toys and know that Iranians don't leave anyone's requests unanswered.

"We made the 'RQ' in pink as it is Mr Obama's favourite colour and we will send it to him via the Swiss embassy," said the head of the cultural department, Seyyed Saeed Hassan-Pour.

"We decided to show that we can deal with this issue in a very friendly and peaceful manner and put it in the playful hands of the children of Iran to pursue a 'soft war' with Mr Obama and the US.

"This was the aim of producing this aircraft," said Mr Hassan-Pour.

The toy will compete with its American counterparts after Iranian morality police cracked down on the sale of Barbie dolls and other toys to protect the public from what they call "pernicious western culture eroding Islamic values".

Iran has refused to return the real drone, instead insisting the US stop all incursions over Iranian airspace.

The end.

President Obama has opened up a 17 point approval rating difference over Romney in terms of foreign policy. President Obama has been killing terrorists and re balancing our forces appropriately, while you mopes do nothing but whine and try to sabotage our nation.

Really? You have to try to resurrect your smear job on Carter?

Please tell me how you're going to suffer. Why won't you tell me how miserable you are going to be?

Shit hook, the correlation between impoverished environments and violent criminal acts is not just probably true. It is well-documented.

As for my brother he has a degree in psychology and a masters in social work, along with 35 years working in the field. He knows way more about the subject than you, as I know way more about the law and about economics than you. Of course you recklessly shoot your mouth off anyway.

As for your vision, Carnac has nothing to do with it. I have studied you carefully over the years and you have stated your vision of individualism, telling me it's alive and well in your rural environment. You have also expressed your hostility toward urban environments.

It may be, but it's definitely on life support by those urban environments you detest, unless perhaps in North Korea.
