Boogie boogie....


61 percent of welfare recipients are White, while 33 percent are Black, according to xxxx xxxxx xxxx statistics


*scratches nose*


Come on boyo, what's in the Xs, and who is the source?


Could it be?

Yes it could

Something's happening, something good...

Something toni....

Come on teddy bear, I'm just trying to find out if you care?


What's your position?


You make a lot of claims about black people milking the welfare state, so I assume you believe them.


So I'm wondering whether if I can prove that it's a bunch of old charlie you're going to change your mind?


I don't think so, I just think you listen to emotionally charged hate stuff. You don't care about truth, you care about skin colour.


I'm playing a little game with you regarding several sources, whether it's US Census, the Department of Agriculture or whoever. Most of whom developed their figures under a republican government. No census since Bush ;-)


I don't think you care, I think you've established a teeny weeny position where you've started to judge people by the colour of their skin.


Whilst I think that makes you a sad small little person, I don't want other people to listen to your nonsense and think it's true.


That's why I'm crapping on.

Doesn't it even out though? Given that hispanics, africans etc and other non-caucasian descendants make up around 12% of the US population it would be correct to assume that blacks and whites are no more likely to be receiving welfare than each other. If anything, socio-economic background, and location/ circustance is likely to have a far greater bearing on unemployment. It just so happens that many migrants find themsleves at the bottom of the ladder, and it makes sense to me for any government to give opportunity to those willing to take it, to work.
I don't really understand why anyone would be interested in racial distribution of welfare payments. But statements like "recipients are 37.2 percent Black and 46.2 percent White" are quite meaningless when not accompanied by the ethnic breakdown of the population.

...And of 6.82% of all statistics, whilst made up on the spot, are not made up by moronic trolls - meaning approx. 12% of made-up-on-the-spot statistics are moron-free and therefore can be taken at face value.


This is assuming the initial statistic wasn't made up.

    • He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.
    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.
