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.

Black Americans also seem to have a penchant for murdering each other at a much higher rate than the general population. So, I guess pointing that out, to you, would ALSO not be racist.

We can talk about crime and the different ethnicities, if we're taking a serious look at crime, but it's also useful to note crime in other countries. And what is most remarkable is the downturn in murder in Japan. Back when WW2 started the Japanese had a murder rate the same as ours. When I was over there I took a look, and the remarkable thing was the generations that grew up after the war repudiated the culture of the older generations that started the war, and the current murder rate is .3 or less per 100,000. The murder rate fell from 4.5 to .025, Remarkable, the murders were being done by the older generation, and as that older generation died off, the murder rate dropped with it.
