Study finds minorities more likely to be paddled

Take a sociology class. It's a freshman college course. 3 credit hours a week. Maybe read some books.

And it's not about leftist. It's about things that make sense.

By the by, the Free Market has never existed. It's Utopian rhetoric to grant further power to the ruling class.

LOL! Yes, it is about leftists because leftist utopian ideas have destroyed the black community. I understand you have class envy and, as usual, you use the class warfare card. As for a sociology class, your comment is so typical of arrogant, white guilt ridden leftists. Leftists think they're smarter than everyone else but, in reality, they're not smarter than anybody. Simply examine the results where of their extreme leftism in places like the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, China and Cuba. You'll find economic ruin, environmental disaster and death.

Why don't you try reading some books other than those written by Michael Moore, Bill Mahar and Arianna Huffington? It's interesting that the left has intellectual midgets like the 3 aforementioned "authors" but the right gave us intellectual giants like William F. Buckley, Jr. and Russel Kirk. Earlier conservatives include Edmund Burke and John Adams (Russel Kirk called Adams the first American Conservative).

Nothing is more offensive than an arrogant leftist who will go to any lengths to justify the most despicable behavior yet, at the same time, claim he/she/it is intellectually superior. The vast majority of the problems facing this nation are the result of insane leftist policies. They've created a culture of death, a culture of minorities not accepting responsibility, a decadent culture filled with Hollywood filth, and a culture where intellectual midgets like Michael Moore "win" Academy Awards for films filled with nothing but lies and liberal editing.

Considering your arrogance and rudeness, I have no desire to communicate with you. LEARN SOME MANNERS!

I read your comments with respect and interest.

I do want to point out one thing. The "leftist" in then Russia, Cuba, China, and some communist European countries, ended up dead or in prison, sometimes for life. There was no"left" in the sense you are thinking. Look the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Solgenysisn (I have butchered his name), who wrote a book and languished in priosn for years and years. Remember the Soviet woman journalist who was shot to death in the elevator of her apartment about 18 months ago? She evidently wrote something unpopular with the ruling officials, even today. Now there is the occupation of Georgia by Soviet troops.

In China many went/and still go to prison for "reeducation" or a new way of thinking, China's repressive thinking. I am sure you know about the era in China when all books were banned. The arts of any kind were banned, and any comment even remotely view as suspect ad to death. Remember, the picture of the young Chinese man in front of the tank headed straight for him. That was a long over due of a demonstration of ofne of the most repressive eras in history.

China's, sometimes poor workmanship and potentially deadly products, are not the result of a leftist society, but from a broken and brutal system of dictators. Workers may slave under the most brutal conditions, 14-18 hour days, work sick, and in extremes of temperatures, unsafe working conditions by any atandards, enforced child labor (denied), For example, their equivalent of out and the poorest of lighting. The Chinese equivalent of the head of what we woulf call the FDA was executed. He took bribes, and I believe he was involved in the horrible dog food/melamine recall which reeked death and critical illness to dogs. Melamine was added as a protein filler to make more profits. Being s leftist had nothing to do with this. There is no left in the countries you mentioned. I know part of your education has been knowledge of the Hungarian Revolution which happened about 50 years ago. The communist system was not in favor of thinking let alone voicing dissent. THIS IS WHY HUMAN RIGHTS ARE SO CRITICAl AND WHY WE MUST PROTEST THE BUTCHERY OF OUR US CONSTITUTION, adhere to the Bill of Rights, and uphold articles of the Geneva Conference. AND WHY WE MUST NOT HAVE A THEOCRACY OR LOSS OF HUMAN RIGHTS here in the US. The last eight years have been a severe threat. They may have longed for freedom to express themselves, but they did not, if thay knew what was good for them.

This is still true. They were "dissidents," and any comment or suspected comment could end with a prolonged prison sentence in Siberia, years in a Russian Gulag, starvation, torture, loss of work or an apartment, being called mentally ill and held in a mental hospital and filled with all kinds of horrendous medications. I am sure you saw the program about the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and their invitation to play an official concert in North Korea. After 6-9 long months of preparation, it turned out to be a winner for all. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE FOREMOST PAINISTS OF NORTH KOREA WAS SHOWN TO HAVE GONE TO PRISON FOR PLAYING A SIMPLE SONG, PROBABLY CLASSICAL, NOT ON THE APPROVED NORTH KOREAN LIST>

The information I posted is from the Department of Justice. Take it up with them!

I'm taking it up with you until I get a link. I linked my data, from the DoJ, and it contradicted yours. So where's your link?

It's worse than that; what kind of precedent does it set? How would seeing black girls getting beaten by white adults affect the minds of children, white or otherwise?

Though, there's no need for paddling children. It's a barbaric, antiquated practice, often used as punishment for being inconvenient to the attending adults. Generally, these adults know a whole lot of nothing about developmental psychiatry, and wind up crushing the childrens' spirits.
