Let's review for a minute. I never said working conditions in Indiana and North Carolina are third world like. All I said was that bad conditions drive people into crime.

It was American sociologist Robert Merton who said that people who cannot reach their life goals the legal way will eventually do it the illegal way.

If you had a quick look at the pdf I presented you, you would have found a graph showing a correlation between low incomes and homicides. As far as I know unions make incomes higher. See where I am going?

In the last week I have been called the following by liberals:

Bastard, cocksucker, fucker, scab, motherfucker, teabagger, son of a bitch. I've been called a waste of humanity, told I should kill myself, and threatened with physical violence.

Like I said, I will stop treating them like thugs when they stop acting like thugs.

Sorry you can't believe your people would say such things, but the sad thing is they are hateful people who believe in free speech only when it appllys to them

Point is that it is very easy to put labels like conservatist, socialist, marxist, liberal on people. But it is very shortsighted as well. Life is not so clean that everything fits in a box. Imho those labels are only used to divide people.

You make that sound like that's a bad thing. Were not all the same, and anyone who says otherwise is a fool
