    Is it great? No. Did I describe it as great? No. Is it horrible like Trump described it? No.

    Do you have a point? No.

    When it comes to guns, they want what they are told to want, because they lack the simple power of rational thought.

    I notice that that article is from 2011. Why is that, do you suppose, when there are much more recent versions available?

    Could it be that the current stats don't make your point for you, because crime has actually declined sharply in Atlanta?

    Here's the 2016 version of the same article. You'll note that Atlanta isn't even listed.

    Edit: apologies, I didn't look close enough here. Maris' article is from Useless News & World Report, mine was from Useless Today. Name similarly fooled me. So mine was not an updated version of the same article (although it is based on more up-to-date data).

    Hey, I get along with just about anybody who doesn't threaten my Freedom or my country.

    Good thing you got guns, then, because LaPine isn't all that far from the border. The California army will be marching through soon on their way to the Battle of Seattle.

    Actually, it is as Trump described it.

    You're the one without a point. Except the shape of your head.

    Oh, well, that's a good argument. Maybe if you add "because I said so" it would make it even more convincing.

    What Trump tweeted is in the public record.

    The stats you posted are, too.

    And then there's your odd analysis of them. And the "because I said so" nonsense in there somewhere.

    I simply posted the first verifiable article that google gave me. The one you pretended not to see.

    How many links did you discard before using this selective and extremely limited "article" from USA Money?

    Atlanta has always been a leader in crime going back to the early 1900's anyway, and has often been the Murder capital of America. The most crime-infested cities all have similar numbers and fluctuate yearly, but Atlanta will always be in the upper echelon of places where crime and corruption rule the day.

    Out of 35,000 cities in America, Atlanta has always been in the top 50.

    Crime has dropped a bit in recent years, but you're really not going to like the reason why.

    It's because gentrification on a massive scale has replaced the main body of criminals, African Americans, with law-abiding Caucasians and Asians

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Atlanta#cite_note-23

    Atlanta is, as of 2010, the nation's 4th largest black-majority city and has long been known as a "black mecca" for its role as a center of black wealth, political and social power, education, and culture including film and music.[21]

    The city of Atlanta is seeing a large demographic increase in its white population, and at a pace that outstrips the rest of the nation. The proportion of whites in the city's population grew faster between 2000 and 2006 than that of any other U.S. city.[22] By 2010, Atlanta's white population had increased by 22,763 people. The white percentage increased from 31% in 2000, to 35% in 2006, to 38% in 2010, more than double the increase between 1990 and 2000. During the same time, the city's black population decreased by 31,678 people, shrinking from 61.4% of the city's population in 2000 to 54.0% in 2010. The demographic changes are due to an influx of whites into gentrifying intown neighborhoods, such as East Atlanta and the Old Fourth Ward, coupled with a movement of blacks into adjacent suburbs, such as Clayton County.

    Half of my income (at least) comes from Californians moving here to escape everything about California. Imagine hating what your home state has become so much that you'd pack up your belongings, kids and pets, quit your jobs, sell your house, leave your lifetime friends and family behind...

    Every one of them, regardless of party, tells me that unless you live in LA or the bay area their vote is meaningless.

    So you are saying that Californians are rational and can count.

    I assume you advise them honestly that if they buy a house from you in La Pine, their vote will be equally meaningless.

    Hey folks, I'm gonna unsubscribe to this thread. I've said my piece here, and I'm on to other things. So if someone replies to something I said, I'm sorry, but I likely didn't catch it.

    Have a good night.

    Wait, you can do that?

    Here I thought the rule was that you had to respond to every provocation until the thread dies.

    Damn, this is going to free up a lot of my time!
