  1. This is the heart of why I'm saying @Delano is being disingenuous. Del, @Cynique has been called a LOT of things on these forums over the past 15 years or so but "nonsensical" is not one of them, perhaps because it has never been warranted. Del you said that @Pioneer1 has taken the following position: You are wrong Del. What you wrote is simply a false statement. The position I've asserted is that income is independent class; this is the position Pioneer has agreed with. If you stopped jocking Pioneer for a second, this would would be clear. Again, I don't understand your motivation. You are exhibiting an intellectual dishonesty for a reason I simply can not devine. @Pioneer1 of course agreement is allowed. However the way you expressed that agreement was not clear. Generally the word "agree" or some synonym is used 🙂
  2. No @Cynique "writing wrong" is exactly was Del is doing. @Pioneer1, I don't really understand what you mean by that statement, but I'm sure it is not a position that I've asserted here, or in our in previous conversations, nor is it related to the title of the conversation you started: "Are Less Educated People More Prone To Violence?" It is obvious, to any educated person, that prisoners are significantly less educated than the general public. Again there is a correlation between education and propensity to violence. This is nt really up for debate. We can debate the reasons for this correlation, but I suspect we will find common ground there.
  3. Is that a Freudian slip? Or in the future will we have ample opportunities to declare that what you "write" is wrong? 😜
  4. Who said his position was invalid? I acknowledged that income is a criteria. He's the one who is trying to dismiss values. What's emotional and foolish about embracing the conventional wisdom in regard to the difference between blue collar and white collar brackets of middle income? And when did you become the arbitrator in these arguments??Thought you were a impartial spectator except of course when you're complaining about Troy's "style"or about me "projecting". Get outta here.
  5. Everything should be up for debate. You confuse your opinion for facts. Okay Natasha and Boris the phrase is I am writing the wrong. What about Street Knowledge . Tavon White seems part entrepreneur part psychologist. He was running the jail. I reckon as far as Street kniwledge he has his PhD. The problem with the argument for me is that education somehow makes people less violent . Or there is an inherent difference between the educated and the uneducated. Which sounds like eugenics. So if there is am inherent difference than getting an education doesn't matter. Because the difference is innate not learned. And if it is learned , how or in what way.
