    Good! My right got a little tanned in Oklahoma, I need to even out.

    You haven't said anything...just taken pot shots from Ol' Paint at people.

    Although it is almost 6:00 over there. I imagine the sundowning is taking its toll...

    Search missed them. Otherwise I would have added them.

    So, is your plan to actually participate in a discussion, or just troll until it's locked?

    You know what they say about trolls right, stop feeding it. Keep it up with the factual information backed up by citations and ignore the background noise.

    ... a knee-jerk reaction to something you disagree with is to cry "troll", or "wasist", ...i pity your knee :D

    the video i posted was a series of news reports by a bunch of new agencies, ... i did nothing to change the "tenor" of what was going on there (the conditions, the attitude, the squalor, etc. it's all there for anyone w/ at least one eye to see) - expecting the public to support/shelter/feed 15 kids by 3 different men is a prime example of welfare FRAUD/WASTE/ABUSE - take your beef up w/ the media and youtube if it's too much for ya to handle... ;)

    I just call it like it is...and then I back up my assertions (see all the posts with the statistics and where I document Jim's trolliness).

    I take it you don't like being called a troll or racist? Then you should probably stop acting in the manner of trolls and racists.

    HOW TO NOT BE A TROLL: Contribute something to a conversation other than hyperbole and rabble.

    HOW TO NOT BE A RACIST: Don't veil your racist views of multiracial persons under the guise of "normalizing" data. Normalization has very little overall effect on sample sizes of millions, and the idea that you would hide behind it to say that black people are calling themselves white (or their case handlers are) to skew the numbers is disgusting.

    Not to mention that if you DO normalize out the numbers, you still essentially have a wash between whites and African-Americans receiving TANF, since some of the numbers will regress opposite of your suggestion.

    If you don't like the words and numbers I post, try posting some contradictory ones that aren't outliers.

    Added to your troll log.

    You might want to read that sometime. You seriously made not a single constructive comment throughout this entire thread. Not one. Not even a minimally informed dissenting opinion! All rabble all the time.

    Goodbye, Ol' Paint. I look forward to calling out your bullshit in future threads.

    ... it takes one to know one right... wasn't that you "trolling" in the guns/hunting forum with the slur about hispanics in AZ... here's the link, it was quoted by other posters there (post #6 and higher), ..since you deleted your original post..
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/guns-hunting/198003-az-gun-laws.html

    I also apologized in that thread. (Keep scrolling down, posts 14 & 18) Something which I am big enough to do when I comprehend I am wrong. It was an bad attempt at humor and people called me out on it. It was wrong. I was wrong.

    So yeah, it takes one to know one. At least I have the balls to own up to it.

    I called you a troll for posting inflammatory outliers to distract from the truth of the topic. Then I backed up my assertions with statistical evidence.

    I called you racist for veiling your bigotry under the guise of "normalization" in the data, since it seems to you that people of mixed race can't be considered "white." Then I backed that up with statistical evidence.

    Seems you spend a lot of time quoting other posts, but gloss over the ones which directly repudiate your claims and hyperbole.

    This is the third time. I won't explain it to you again.

    If you would like to offer solid evidence of how drug testing TANF recipients would not be a greater waste of taxpayer dollars, or even an argument in favor of greater rollback of all TANF funding, I'm all ears. But until you can back it up with something more tangible than a YouTube video of an outlier or rant and rabble, you'll just be another blowhard led around by FOX News.

    Takes one to know one.

    ...well i'd certainly cede the award for name-calling to you, sir... also for putting words in people's mouth... :D

    just remember, ye who lives in glass house ought not cast stones at another... ;)

    i don't like political correctness much, ...see it tends to mask over the little things, such as facts.. :eek:

    ..since you are so determined to inject race into this topic, i have yet to see where the PC crowd ever "categorizes" mixed under "white", ...in fact, the way it's promulgated by the special interests and media is the opposite... using class/ethnic division only makes the discussion more incindiary - i'll give you a "mission accomplished" on that regard!

    i'm sorry the video i posted (of news media reports!!!) has given you such grief, ...or about the remarks on statistical relevance, normalization, etc... sorry that math can be so inconsiderate... ...hell, while i'm at it, sorry friday only rolls around once a week :D

    ...BTW, i don't even have cable/satellite tv, ...so i'll have to get back to you about that foxnews stuff i guess... ;)

    About time! It's ass backwards that us who work for a living have to take drug screenings yet people that refuse to work for a living and live off the system get the slide. Drug tests and background checks need to be enforced on those moochers big time. I can understand welfare if you actually NEED it, but, if you can afford a cell phone, cable TV and a car, you don't need welfare. Simple as that.
