The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Mental illness is responsible for a small portion of violent behavior, with estimates suggesting it contributes to approximately 4% of violence in the United States."


About 23% of people experience some form of mental illness in their lifetimes. "Just kill them" is an inflammatory statement that goes beyond the pale. No one was talking due process and how you go about determining the person should be locked up. We already have huge amounts of black people locked up and what seems to reduce crime is taking lead out of the environment. We should look to the societies with low crime to see what works.

I see the problem right now, not one of them have MAGA. We should see how they go about not having a MAGA.
