Oklahoma ranks #42 "best" education, and Louisiana ranks #45. Ok, so their kids are getting shitty educations by and large.
Just because they rank among the bottom in the US means nothing. Someone has to be #50. When compared to world standards, Oklahoma and Louisiana kids are some of the best educated in the world.
Having a good education, pretty low priority in a red state right?
WRONG. Where did you get this idea?
Oklahoma teachers are on a 2 week walkout because education facilities have gotten so shitty in their state. Because what employer doesn't want dumbass ditch diggers for employees who can't do basic math, reading, or writing. Something like that.
Actually....they just want pay raises. The walkout has nothing to do with kids. If they cared about the kids, the teachers would go back to school and teach them basic math, reading, and writing.
Now let's look at those 2 states incarceration rates in the country.
right....cause we're just inventing connections out of thin air now.
Oklahoma has the 2nd highest incarceration rate in the country, and Louisiana is #1.
So?
these 2 red states, would rather incarcerate their citizens, than give them a good education
Really? Who said that? Are you saying that legislators made a conscious choice to put people in prison rather than educate them? Why would they do that? Money? Do you have any idea how much more expensive it is to incarcerate someone rather than educate them?
ranking better in education has been tied to lower incarceration rates.
Source?
This illustrates my point, Republican voters, and politicians, believe you make peoples lives better, by making peoples lives worse.
This illustrates that you're a nincompoop.
I talked to a White Baby Boomer today,
With no bias in your heart at all right?
and I was taking a drug test for illicit substances for my CDL license I'm going for.
Did you pass?
And I mentioned, I think the War on Drugs, has RUINED more peoples lives, than it has helped.
I'm pretty sure proclaiming "Yay drugs" while getting a drug test qualifies you as the stupidest person I've encountered in 2018 thus far. Last year I saw a store clerk watch a customer's debit card get declined by two point-of-sale devices and an ATM machine. Then the clerk said "i'll take a check". That store clerk was the winner for 2017. But you are well on yoru way to topping that. BTW, that store clerk was in a state that ranks #2 in education...go figure!
Well she heavily disagreed with me. She said we're not incarcerating ENOUGH Americans. I pointed out, WE'RE THE INCARCERATION CAPITAL OF PLANET EARTH.
That's actually not a bad thing. Inequality (and it's related symptom...crime) is a consequence of prosperity.
She said you know how you not go to jail? And I replied quickly, make less things illegal
You master debater you!
Like Amsterdam's approach to marijuana and prostitution, those are legal, they have a lot less citizens in prison over marijuana and prostitution.
here's a fun experiment. Could you afford to live in Amsterdam?
And I pointed out to her, that the purpose of the War on Drugs, was to stop people from using drugs, NOT incarcerate millions of Americans.
Millions?? Where are you getting this number?
In terms of stopping Americans from doing drugs, the War on Drugs has been nothing short of an abject failure. Where it was remarkably successful, was sending millions of Americans to prison, who otherwise would not have gone.
There's that number again. I think you would be shocked to learn that TRUTH is that the number of people in federal prison who's worst crime is drug possession/use is less than 300.
LESS THAN 300!!!!!!!!
This all ties into what I've learned from Trump supporters,
How? And btw......why do you keep referring to "Trump supporters". Do you mean me? I'm not a "Trump Supporter". Im an independent thinker who supports reason, fairness, and truth. Sometimes that overlaps with Trump's policies, and sometimes it doesn't.
