    Why can't people be colorblind? Why are you and others always making things a race issue?
    Dont lump me in. I dont give a about black surgeon memes or the like.

    That's not sustainable.
    Correct, which means the USA is unsustainable.

    Not normally, but maybe it should since we are pushing the limits of social welfare programs. We cannot let them grow at the rates they have. Something must be done to reduce the need for government assistance.
    You have wandered into a recurring theme I get from you a lot.

    Authoritarian when wanted, Democratic when needed.

    Its one or the other, no in between. Youre either China or youre the USA.

    Social makeup, yes. Ethnicity, no.
    I am going to have to ask that you explain to me what difference youre making here without me giving my thoughts on the only two choices I see.

    Color or ethnicity is not the factors I see. I do see statistical correlations like far more blacks committing violent crimes and living poor, however, it isn't limited to race and I don't believe race is the factor. The roles could have been reversed if whites historically were slaves. It's how people are raised. Family influence, peer pressure, locations they were raised in, etc. The sins of the past are hard to shake. However, it is the fault of those staying stuck in the past, that they do not better themselves.

    Ok, but how does that observation relate to the "social makeup" line you used earlier?

    Poor choice of words/phrase, maybe?

    Maybe we consider social makeup differently. I see it as a small unit of the community one is in.

    LOL...

    Really now. You are equating the two? It still ends up as responsibility. Birth control if not 100% reliable, and few people use it properly to have the stated percentages of prevention. It still factors out that a person is irresponsible to have sex if they cannot afford to raise a child.
    So no more irresponsible sex... so are in favor of passing out birth control mechanisms to poor mothers?

    micromanaging is ok for the people that choose to be poor.......which aside from a few exceptions, is generally all poor people.

    Vicious misogynist weighs in on maternal baby care:

    O’Reilly Blames Women’s Health Care ‘Breast Feeding Stuff’ For High Unemployment

    O’REILLY: Now the federal government is ordering the health insurance companies to pay for all breast feeding stuff, all female birth control stuff, all preventative measures for doctors for ladies that go in. What do you think that’s gonna do? That’s going to inhibit hiring even more!

    KUCINICH: Frankly, we ought to be very concerned about women’s health care.

    O’REILLY: I am concerned, but they’re not going to expand and hire if they have to pay higher health care premiums for workers! Businesses aren’t going to do it…You can’t have both. You can’t have a welfare state and a robust capitalist system.

    Unemployment is caused by sucking, not by vampire-squid wealth sucking.

    That's the genius. The truly needy are "probabilistically" defined as unworthy of public assistance, and for this reason, are most liable to the ministrations of the theraputic/managerial state, as concocted in this instance by WC.

    Those who are deserving, per contra, do not require public assistance. Indeed, that is the very condition of their "respectibility."

    Here's this red-state bubba asshole again:

    Watch Steve King rant against insurance coverage for birth control, claiming we will become a "dying civilization."

    http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews..._civilization/

    ===========

    I agree that The American Imperial Planetary Empire is on a downward slope, very probably irreversible decline, due the VRWC/Repug policies pushed by assholes like King, not because of birth control.
