An Asian American’s View On Why Asians Save And Earn So Much

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

That's a really good point. Why should we take credit for, or MORE importantly, take responsibility for bad acts committed generations ago?

I don't think we have to take credit, but I do think we have to a least acknowledge it in fact affects the descendants till this day.

The whole I am black, I can't get ahead, we all live in poverty and crime because of slavery and racism argument is BS

Also BS is the slavery was a long time ago, and I never owned slaves so it is irrelevant argument.

the events really aren't comparable when speaking of responsibility.

Indeed they are not. The fact that this even needs to pointed out amazes me, quite frankly.

Why not? Is there a measuring stick somewhere that says this is a 75 bad on a scale of 0-100, and something else is a 63 bad?

nope, no measuring stick. it shouldn't be compared to begin with.

I got Russell Wilson in an auto-draft, so here's hoping he comes out swinging.

that's a nice auto pick. he'll have to. you know Rodgers is going bombs away right off the bat.

Thanks for clearing that up.

He will. I think Seattle was 15-1 at home last year? I know who I'd bet on.

they're giving up 5-6 & the o/u is 46-47 depending on which book house you look at. home field w/ a draw play is only a 3. the odds makers are expecting some offense. good luck.

Thanks for clearing that up.

your welcome.

i don't think it's untrue that the unpaid work of slaves helped build america.. i don't think janelle is saying that slaves alone built america. if she is, then that is overlooking the contributions/sacrifices of many people.

for all i know he could've, i don't know. but some people speak and think in the abstract. the people who think and speak more in concrete terms have a hard time with the abstract and vice versa. especially in a 'debate'.
