SHE IS A MAN EATER BUT SHE KILLS THEM WITH KINDNESS She Said: I am Impressed by your Confidence And you must be the Bravest of Hearts If you dare enter my Room Some men never come this close For they fear it will be their Doom Because this is the place where a Lion’s Heart may be consumed And most men can’t fathom all the Hidden Galaxies That I have planted inside my Sacred Womb But I see you're bravely standing here before me Trying to Taunt me with your Dark and Very Long Spear Tell me King is it your Burning Hunger that draws you near? But please beware Beloved for your Pride has No Sanctuary here Yes in due time you will surrender All your Love without any Fear And like a Queen I will give you Flames of Passion And show you all the Mercy my Sweet Darling Dear…

Pioneer you did not answer my question: Do you think that the percentage of people with a college education, incarcerated for violent crime is higher than the percentage of people in the general populations? (a simple "yes" or "no" would suffice) My definition says "...learning how to apply it." Besides it seems like you are less focused on trying to understand what Im saying and much more focused on trying to figure out different ways to dispute it. That is probably why you did not answer my question... I even put it in boldface so that you would not miss it. Your position is that educated people commit just as many violent crimes as uneducated people, but get away with it because they are slicker, know more lawyers, and can afford better representation. Your statement would is difficult to disprove because it is based upon the assumption that unsolved violent crimes are committed by educated people who were smart enough to get a away with it. We can;t know who has gotten away with unsolved or unreported crimes. We could look at the educational levels of those tried, but not convicted, but of course many of these people might actually be innocent-- regardless of educational level. So there is no information (that I'm aware of) which would prove any of the statements that you made. @Pioneer1, do you have anything to support any of the statement that you've made? I think the relative educational level of those incarcerated, while not perfect, is a decent indicator. It is certainly better than the proof you provided which is zilch.

The Nazi SS were highly training, but were evil as hell, personally killing many non-Arians. I'm not talking about people who are educated to improve themselves not to d the bidding of others (like police officers and MBAs). You're ADDING to the definitions we agreed upon. What a person does WITH their education is irrelevant to whether or not education itself...which is an increase in knowledge or training.....makes one more or less violent. Besides, I believe I read something in another thread where either you or Cynique said being more educated means they should be able to think better and more for themselves instead of allowing others to manipulate their thinking for them, so killing people because you were "just following orders" would challenge that. 　 　 　 Do you think that the percentage of people with a college education, incarcerated for violent crime is higher than the percentage of people in the general populations? No, I absolutely do not think so...however there could be many different reasons for this OUTSIDE of them simply being less violent, including: 1. Being more educated made them SMART enough to commit their crimes and get away with them and/or 2. Being more educated gave them a higher income allowing them to afford more legal resources to stay out of jail and/or 3. Being more educated means they have MORE FRIENDS who are lawyers, judges, and police officers to get them off the hook ...among other reasons.

Yes I agree political correctness has run amok, Americans have started using the term Latinx as opposed to Latino and Latina: it is like referring to someone's gender is an insult! Even the voices of the female voice of Siri and Alexa defaulting to a feminine voice is insulting because this supposedly cast women into subservient roles. I previously described a application I was about to fill where the gender category had at least 10 other options besides male and female -- who thinks up this stuff? But this is different than empathy. The people who think this stuff up dont consider the people they are trying to help. They generally had a personal agenda. Many people from the Latin American community reject the term Latinx and many women don't care one way or the other which gender the voice Siri uses (I wish they would have a Black woman's voice preferably with a southern accent). Cosby will likely go to jail because of the #metoo movement. Honestly, I think after he gave this women $3 million she should not have a case. Cosby is still a degenerate, but the #metoo movement's political correctness claimed Cosby as a victim. This #MeToo "movement" has seemingly blown over as we wait around for the next bullshit revenue generating Twitter promoted hashtag to comes along in the meantime, R.I.P. #Occupy, #BlackLivesMatter, #FeeltheBern, #Change

Most people who define themselves as middle class are actually poor. Middle class people can lose their job and continue to live without a change in their life style for at least 6 months. Upper class people don't have to work. They have enough wealth to live without income from some corporation or government entity. Sure, they may choose to work, but they don't have to. This is a very small percentage of the population and they hold the vast majority of the nation's wealth. Most are born into this class. The rest of us are simply poor. Poor people can have middle class values, but still financially poor. I think this is a growing portion of ur population. Similarly upper class people can have low class values. It is not likely that a poor person with low class values will make it into the middle class without engaging in criminal activity. Poor people, with middle class values, aspire to get an education. Unfortunately it is getting harder to make it into the middle class and stay their as an increasing number of us are stuck living paycheck to paycheck without health insurance or decent benefits. The disenfranchisement of the middle class is why 45 was elected... indeed it was why Obama was elected.
