IRS scandal a reminder of how I learned about The Chicago Way

[George Gervin's Afro]

Everytime I hear the chicago way it always pertains to politics 101. Every example someoone brings up as the Chicago way is simply politics.

Right. For example, I read the OP's fear of destruction by government workers, but there were no examples of its actually happening.

I have no doubts about the paper that was linked, but bribes for zoning variances are different from destroying families.

I don't know. Never looked into it. As your unsolicited link shows, there are several ways to measure it.

pathetic. just pathetic.

You disagree with the paper you linked?

OK.

You disagree with the paper you linked?

OK.

nope, talking about you.

[ChumpDumper]

nope, talking about you.

Thanks for agreeing with me, then.

[CosmicCowboy]

LOL, pathetic.

Sad part is, you apparently really think you are making some kind of point.

I didn't and wouldn't argue that Chicago is among the most corrupt cities in the US. Federal corruption convictions are a decent measurement, but even within that I have to ask if law enforcement is included in that metric. It could make a difference if it is accounted for or not.

And then what about state charges? It could be argued that they could be skewed due to state machines, but couldn't federal charges also be skewed for the same reason?

Lot's of things to consider. If you just want to be simple minded about it so you can make some political slogans or continue some personal feud, that's your choice.

OK, Boutons...

[ChumpDumper]

You didn't answer the question.

[CosmicCowboy]

The fact that you won't even concede that Chicago is ONE of the most corrupt cities in the US is hilarious...

I just said it was.

It is.

Read what you wrote. You WOULDN'T argue that is WAS.

[ChumpDumper]

I said I wouldn't argue the assertion that it was.

I said I wouldn't argue the assertion that it was.

The sentence would have required a double negative to assert that.

I understand your confusion. Now that I've cleared it up for you, do you disagree with anything in the post?

Before or after you reversed your position?

[ChumpDumper]

Same position I always had. Good to know you don't disagree.
