you never forget your first time smelling crack

exactly. it should be illegal to have these apt's not be used here. we should write legislation that if a building or unit stay unoccupied for more than 2 yrs then it's either able to get bought out or it's fined heavily for every single month that it's continued to be unoccupied for.

No, but guerilla groups are definitely a part of the country. which is distinct to that territory. & i never said any of those things are or have to be mainstream either.

you people referring to all the ones arguing my point- including you.

i would 100% argue that white supremacy has deep seeds in American culture. without a doubt, i would argue that. is it representative of all Americans? obviously not. but there's a reason we have so much white supremacy and extremism going on in this country such as islamiphobia. & it 100% has to do with America's founding culture and it's roots.

also terrorism isn't just islamic extremism. that should go without saying but i guess i have to spell that out for you.

first off neither is beating your kid like this article suggests they are doing in yeshivas.

& two

islamic extremism is a cultural practice tho. it isn't part of the muslim religion as a whole, 100% of course. but if it isn't cultural then what is it? economical? obviously not. it's roots are anti-western & involve changing the cultural zeitgeist of regions globally. that's just pure fact. & if we're talking about values, traditions, & societal norms— that's literally the definition of culture

terrorism in general isn't cultural of course that should go without saying for you people. but islamic extremism isn't just outright terrorism—there's a whole set of customs & culture that are attached to it. many muslim's even agree. i know plenty from the middle east that have studied & lived through islamic extremism.

you better believe they are graduating that way. because they aren't being taught english—they're being taught hebrew only. maybe if you read a single article about it then you'd read that there's parents literally begging that their kids an education that teaches them english. many switch their kids to public school. the ones that don't get threatened by the community for wanting to.

omfg yall are SO obtuse. i wasnt comparing reading to terrorism i was saying leaving a culture to do as it pleases doesn't work out well. & it literally hasn't in these hasidic communities.

not to mention if you don't believe what the reports of these yeshivas are doing-you're just misinformed.

maybe if you believed in more critical thinking you'd be able to understand my original point.

it isn't and no one said it was?? i was commenting on the fact that they said what their religion does is no ones business. i could say the same thing ab cultures that commit FGM....like it's someone's business if it's affecting children negatively

edit: & it isnt just ab low test scores when they are physically beating children like this post states smart ass

i get it but i wasn't commenting on the religious aspect of the school. simply that they were violating a child's rights in this country by not teaching them basic reading and writing

i literally didn't even comment about the jewish religion itself, only about the yeshiva & then they literally went into a rant. i didn't even know anyones religion in the room.... honestly they were just projecting at that point...

it was the "what we do isn't our business" like yeshivas aren't even part of all jewish culture—it's only ONE part of one particular jewish community.... just like the taliban/islamic extremeism is it's own culture within the larger muslim community. you can't say some of that stuff isn't culturally part of the larger community when it especially when it directly involves that religion & has so much support within certain countries in the middle east. the same way jewish people, especially those who run yeshivas, are just a cultural part of the larger jewish community. jewish & muslims aren't a monolith

what is PE

if it's declared a hate crime tho the feds could potentially step in

i actually saw a bathroom labeled "COLORED" aside from a unisex stall

maybe get better reading comprehension skills

yeah but still not bigger than the cities these migrants are being bussed to. if you wanna talk individual cities lets add up the population of Chicago, NYC, DC, & Boston and compare that to the big cities of Texas and again the population rates still wouldn't even be CLOSE to the same...

because i'm not talking about one single city there....lets be honest no immigrants are going to Jasper, Texas where there's still segregation inside mcdonalds (and yes i've seen that with my own eyes)

no. texas cities are literally less than half as full as nyc is & much bigger sq area wise....let alone the rest of the state thats entirely just open space

i meant texas cities....i know how big the place is i literally GREW UP THERE & tx is triple the size of nys but not even close to triple the population..notice how i said nyc not nys

No it's not even close. Texas CITIES literally have a quarter of the population that nyc has & literally gets money directly from the federal government to handle the migrants. We don't. We even try & want to help them unlike tex-ass & yet they're still getting checks from the fed for what?? busses?? Texas is a fucking joke & will always be. To think otherwise is simply stupid & more republican propaganda nonsense. Yeah we aren't handling this as good as we should, but the city is struggling in general from Albany taking a good portion of our money and pooling it into delapidated areas of the state no one even cares about. If the city kept it's revenue & cut the corruption then we'd actually get somewhere

the venezuelans were literally begging to go to canada and away from the city after slumming it in the streets near the hotels when they refused to go to the perfectly good shelter in brooklyn...it's not even our fault atp

outer borough transit is trash. i dont have a car but there's often times I literally cannot get to places unless I go for a 40 min walk

true but 1 dose is fine for entry and then they can follow up later

agreed. it's not hard to get a vaccine here at ALL! they should have been required to have one before attending like the rest of us. Even teachers have to have one
