Nope. I’m calling anyone that won’t take the time to educate themselves ignorant. It’s a huge problem in our country. It’s a huge problem in the world.

Surely you don't believe that if everyone was educated equally they'd all feel the same way about a given issue?

They don't seem to accomplish anything these days.

They accomplish a lot of things, very very few are useful or good.

Not what I meant. I meant if you don’t understand something, anything, go educate yourself on the subject. But people say they don’t understand and then assume they know the answer. It’s everywhere in society these days.

I was just thinking I don’t care what race you are. Changes are made but most times it is turned around to the way it originally was because that is what the race is most comfortable with.

Seen it many times.

In order to truly learn all there is to know about something, you have to enjoy it, so that you WANT to learn.   Or, you have to be put in a situation where you must know it in order to save yourself.   

But....You don't have to experience a sledgehammer dropped on your foot, and understand the way your nerves work, to know that it's gonna hurt. 😂

These defunding initiatives are based upon theoretical benefit.  The fact is, most social theories don’t hold water, and the price is pretty darn high for this experiment.  At the end of the day this just reinforces my desire to get out of the city.  Soon.

Agree with that. I had enough with the crazies in Houston, Tx. We moved to Corpus Christi and that was good until it also got kind of crazy with the local government.

North Arkansas and Southern Missouri are probably the best places to be right now.
