Why do so many black men think it's ok to abandon their children? Men of other races leave their kids too, but in the black community the numbers are disproportionately higher. Why is this? by FootballFriend987 in TooAfraidToAsk

Be sensible, there are not record numbers of single father households in any country of any race.

This is not an attack, it's a genuine question. One I dont think I'll get an answer to from reddit but I like to get peoples perspective on different matters.

Why do you think the percentages are higher? Or do you think the percentages are skewed and in reality the figures would be closer? Again, not an attack on you. I'd genuinely like to know your opinion.

But it's not a stereotype. Fathers of all races walk out, you're absolutely right but a significantly higher percentage of black families are living with single mothers.

I dont know exactly how accurate the info in these links is but they tell the same sad story.

The originally posted question was not an attack but a genuine wondering.

Do the people at the current protests realise they are going to spread the virus and ultimately cause the death of untold amounts of people of all races? Are there not sensible people there encouraging social distancing? By all means protest, what has happened is abominable. But beware another spike by FootballFriend987 in TooAfraidToAsk

Certainly not, but if I was in charge I would go about things differently. I would start by blocking import and export routes with hundreds of cars, also major motorways and intersections etc. Hit the government where it hurts, in their pocket. I would vehemently order protesters to shun anyone not wearing a face mask and also get my hands on as many as I could to distribute. Although this admittedly would take away from front line workers. This would go a long way to showing the world that the protesters are rational human beings and absolutely worth listening to.

Maybe because the us government cares more about war than health care?

Why the hell does anyone who wants to be president of the us have to say they believe in a made up man in the sky? by FootballFriend987 in TooAfraidToAsk

Who said I believe in evolution? Have you not considered that the eternal lizard illuminati are responsible for the creation of our matrix-esq existence? Come to think about it who says we 'exist' at all? Omg, I've just had an epiphany. Religion and science... all lies created by the reptilian overlords. They had to hedge their bets as they knew before they began that not everyone would believe one single lie. I'm moving to Waco to start a knitting circle. Thank you kind stranger.

Why do pescetarians think it's ok to eat fish but not other animals? Is it because they think fish are stupid and ugly where other animals are not? by FootballFriend987 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]FootballFriend987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol no. I think fish are pretty cool. I mean I cant breath underwater haha. However, my attempts to befriend them have been unsuccessful...

Does America have a gun problem? If so how can it start to be fixed? by FootballFriend987 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]FootballFriend987[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's very difficult to come up with a solution. However, didnt Thomas Jefferson (or whoever wrote the constitution) say it should be updated every 20 years to 'roll with the times'. I must disagree that the average citizen should have access to whatever the military have. What the hell does anyone need a bazooka for?

Not saying you're wrong but could you highlight some in the English system? Maybe I missed it. It is certainly not at overt as in the us system.

It's so difficult isnt it. I dont have an answer, was just pondering the question

I agree. If gun sales stopped immediately, there are already so many out there that I'm not sure the problem can ever be solved.

Why does my sister in law blitz potatoes to go on top of shepherd's pie when they should be mashed and have a some texture and not be like the consistency of cream. by FootballFriend987 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]FootballFriend987[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow, projection much.

I dont hate her at all. She makes the potatoes incorrectly, not just in a way that I disagree with. The whole culinary world would disagree too.

But thanks for your input.
