If you immediately associate the term "thug" with a certain race, maybe you're the racist one.

India would be like Bangladesh without the Brits civilizing them by force and taking out the thugs who terrorized the place.

Bangladesh was part of India during British rule.

Before the Brits arrived, India contributed a quarter of world GDP. When they left, 90%+ were in poverty.

You're too damn rational for LR.

"Before the Brits arrived, India contributed a quarter of world GDP. When they left, 90%+ were in poverty."

Lol, as if that's a real argument. What was the poverty rate before the Brits civilized the place, 89.9?

Ever hear of the caste system? The untouchables?

Gross inequality is so baked into their ancient culture that even the Brits couldn't change that. And you can't give toilets away to most Indians.

White Man's Burden

The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history. Two of them, journalists William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer, say it's possible. But another journalist, Thomas Friedman (not part of the group), is skeptical

Is that your big Gotcha moment? Pasting a comment from a deleted thread that you saved, which simply links to an Israeli news web site? Man your nerves must be shot.

And what about it? How is it Gotcha material? Go ahead, make a comment about that Haaretz article, I dare you.

Pretending your argument doesn't need to be said just makes you look weak and high anxiety, and passive-aggressive.

What if 70% of posters agree with me, and it makes you so nervous that you attempt to frame it like you are part of some imaginary consensus that you know doesn't exist?

Most of the upvoted takes look pretty reasonable to me, especially for reddit. This wouldn't even be brought up in a main sub though...

Agreed.

The about it is you posted it yesterday in this thread which is not deleted. I quoted it and responded to it.

You're calling it Gotcha, not me, bud. I quoted, responded because it's crazy we're here now.

You began this thread about an 80 y/o lady getting mugged, then expressed joy about it tying it to race.

Go back and read my posts. Until this post I'm typed I posted what? 20 words?

Now read yours: "what about it?" "i dare you", "your nerves are shot", "you look weak".

Which of us seems "highly anxious"?

healterseltzer, are you a bot?

Here is what is weird, man. You cite statistics (that are inaccurate) to support your point, but destroy your point, instead.

"...though whites commit half the violent crimes in the country."

FBI UCR stats show that whites commit 46% of violent crime even though they account for 60% of population.

On the other hand, blacks account for over 50% of violent crime but only account for 13% of the population.

Of course you are probably not smart enough to understand the meaning of those statistics.

Did you know that blacks and whites use drugs at the same proportional rates but blacks are arrested for drug-related crimes at 8 times the level of whites? It's selective law enforcement. Between that and shunting blacks into ghettoes for centuries, whites are far more criminally inclined than blacks.

Wow. Just wow. You people just can't help but lie at every opportunity.
