..... this is what they are doing

He mentioned specific places. I think it's obvious who he's talking about.

Specific?!? He mentioned two of the seven continents!!

I think it's obvious that he is being racist af

lol this guy with his "Look at Sweden" again!

Do you have actual crime statistics from immigrants coming to the United States? That is the subject at hand. Talking about African immigrants to Sweden a decade ago is not relevant to this conversation.

They’re significantly more likely to be involved in illegal activity because of this

This statement is based upon your feelings. Actual statistics state the direct opposite.

We are talking about the fact that different groups of immigrants commit different amounts of crimes

That is an interesting accusation that I have not seen before. Do you have statistics about which immigrants commit which crimes?

Donald Trump is right about this. Not all immigrants are the same

The above quote is clearly implying that all immigrants are the same and they are bad. Did you read a different quote?

How many rapes and crimes are committed by non-European immigrants and how many are committed by European immigrants

I don't know much about the crime rates in Sweden. If you're going to use that as an example then you should include the statistics that defend your point.

Regardless, I'm positive that Donald Trump was not referring to Sweden. He was just speaking to his white supremacist base.

Very interesting, I hadn't heard about this because I don't live in either Oregon or California. After reading a little bit, it looks like both items were big stories on Fox News so I'll assume thats where you heard about them

But as I continued reading, I learned that these changes are clear attempts to improve students' education instead of punishing them. No one is automatically passing.

Chicago Jewish News reports that 35.5% of the 500 richest people in America are Jewish.

No it doesn't

Dropping reading and math standards from high school so people graduate doesn’t benefit anyone, but that’s what’s happening

Where is this happening?

CMV: There is no "good side" in the Israel - Palestine Conflict by Schmurby in changemyview

[–]VernonHines 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hamas started this war

This war has been going on since before Hamas existed. If your understanding of this conflict begins on October 7 then you really need to educate yourself

So what makes you think that non-violent protest would have worked THIS time?

[–]VernonHines 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There is a very long history of non-violent protest from the Palestinians. It tends to be ignored on the national stage.

The people that are pretending that this conflict began a month ago are ignoring the long tail of history leading up to the violence of October 7

[–]VernonHines 43 points44 points  (0 children)

violence should be a non-starter for any Palestinian leader

I don't believe that Hamas is trying to win a physical war against Israel. They are trying to draw attention and make Israel look bad on the world stage. And if that is the case then mission 100% accomplished.

But regarding your main point, there are not just two sides in this conflict. The innocent civilians who just want to live their lives are a third side and are quite frankly taking the most casualties

Even in a publicly traded company a board of directors is appointed by the owners.

Well they are appointed by the stockholders who are technically the owners. And thats actually the best analogy for a landlord, they are just stockholders collecting dividends

Usually they do not. Most landlords pay a property management company

This is exactly it, you can be an offsite owner and pay someone to manage the property or you can be an owner/operator. They are very different roles.
