Or perhaps seeing the world in a black and white left-right spectrum is simplistic and does not capture the entirety of what people believe? Food for thought.

Political lean colors ideology and how one see's the world. Food for thought.

The purpose of this polls choices were to isolate variables, for my own purposes. They were not intended to assuage you-as a libertarian you can no doubt dig it.

My political lean is not left or right because I reject such a spectrum as truly meaningful. Perhaps include an option "not left or right" instead of not American. I am not taking personal offense, merely pointing out your method is problematic. Given responses by other posters, I am not alone on that point. If you want a truly accurate poll, you need to include options for everyone.

Furthermore, can you even provide a definition of what "left" or "right" actually means? That too can differ per person.

Libertarianism is its own spectrum, its interesting that you reject this one. I will continue to pick poll options as I see fit and you are free to do what you'd like.

Not sure what you are trying to say. You are free to make polls however you want...but I am free to point out why your way of doings things is wrong/inaccurate/annoying.

Yep.
That would be the start of getting an education. the free part that so many people still don't take advantage of.

2 seconds on google would have elucidated.

If growing up in a single parent household you have a 6x greater chance of being in poverty, this is even worse in minorities, and blacks have a near 80% born out of wedlock incidence.

You really aren't getting this, are you? There are two phenomenon which have a relationship. One leads to another. You need to demonstrate which causes which!! You keep saying being in a single parent home leads to poverty, but it is poverty which leads to single parent homes. I don't know how to make this in clearer. I can say correlation doesn't equal causation. Does that help you? I am really at a loss about how to help you to understand this basic point....

So that would be implying that only poor people have unprotected sex with a partner, who, in most likelihood, will walk out at the first sign of pregnancy. That is very interesting.

:doh Are you implying, that only people who have unprotected sex with a partner, are poor? No, ok. I will move onto something valuable then....

I beg to differ. You have the right to protest anything and also, there is no proof that he is a wanna cop-killer. In fact, the vast amount of evidence begs to the contrary.

"A Punk Is a Hunk"

They are only pretending to think that he is innocent; it plays well with the ignorant and illogical media publicizing this. They actually admire the punk for trying to kill that cop. Any civilized person would pick another imaginary victim when what the thughuggers' claim about Brown might have some truth in it. They would wait and see. Now the mob has even seen the crime become more plausible and it just excites their bloodlust more.

Those Who Destroy Language Destroy Thought

I don't expect to be on here long, but I suggest that someone put up a grammar thread on the Non-Political Forums, especially in Academia, which is responsible for these grammatical monstrosities. Then, instead of being Off-Topic here, I could quote your poorly structured statement there. If you write, "I don't deny that," it is the same as saying "I admit that...acts of racism against Blacks don't exist"!

Data, Media, Bacteria, Criteria All Misused by the Paid Media You've Been Tricked Into Respecting

Phenomena. Phenomenon is singular, so you can't write "two phenomenon" and expect any intelligent person to respect your thinking. Also, it is phony grammar. You want to sound educated without trying to educate yourself on the irregular plurals. Don't follow the babblers and scribblers in the media. They are no-talent class-climbers who have no right to their positions.

I didn't know we have so little time to Edit Post here. I meant that the Thughuggers may be jumping to conclusions and convict the cop just because he is alive and Brown is dead.

I doubt its a direct causal connection but the correlation is enough for medicine. I hold that to a higher standard than politics. And no, I dont have to demonstrate that-all I need to do is show that the liberal war on poverty has only succeeded in making minorities dependent on a political party. Orwell knew.

But condoms cost 6 bucks! If everything was given for free there would be no unprotected sex or divorce, or even poverty.

Thats the liberal view, apparently.

yup, and lets not forget this was a cop unaware and merely wanting a person out of the middle of the street, a person who moments before appeared to have committed assault and robbery stealing swisher sweets according to the evidence. This person had a highly exerted catecholamine ("adrenalin") release ( perhaps thinking "I just pulled off a robbery!" and then "cops got me!" as they approached) so he was amped up and likely looking fierce (big guy).

The cop would have been shocked by the response of this big angry person and when the kid refused to comply he defended himself-the cop's saying the person reached into the car, trying to get the gun and at one point GOT it, there was an accidental discharge (from the struggle). Then the dearly departed backs off, starts verbally taunting the cop, and when the cop defends himself shooting him a mere 3 feet away (and in the front, NOT the back as if this thug running off. The cop has apparently stated that he also appeared to be on drugs- Id say possibly the type he may have been stealing swisher sweets to make blunts with.

And the only first hand witness is his robber partner who gives a story assuming facts not in evidence. This has even less merit and more myth than the Trayvon Martin case-in that one the facts of the case were disregarded and our "balanced" media fueled a narrative for ratings. The media is doing the same now-hoping to milk this.

Obama wants this to be high visibility to distract from the election and world events and to energize the left. This sort of "outrage" really helps democrat party fundraising, especially before such an unpromising looking mid term.

It's most likely both ways. Single parent families promote child poverty, which promotes single parent families, and around and around it goes. The way to break the cycle is to marry before having babies.

He has a valid point. And we can include the white kids who feel the need to riot and loot after any city's sports team wins a championship.

The rioting has nothing to do with the police action and one man but rather an opportunity to loot and trash the city you live in. It is like taking a crap in your own bed.
So now the city you live in has less stores and less chance of anyone wanting to invest in bringing a business into your city.

His best line was asking the Black Panthers where were they when the little girl was killed by a stray bullet while riding her tricycle in her front yard .

Yep.

It's a very tasteless exploitation of a kid's murder imo.

But, we can't neglect that there are many in Ferguson making their efforts to repel looters and other such hoodlums from local businesses and shops.
