Caterpillar Moving Headquarters From Chicago To Texas

@TexChik Except it's not free! kids get killed in their schools, and assault weapons are legal. I for one would never visit Texas or want to move my business there and take a chance with my family, ever!

@Carazaa please. Libs don’t care about children . They are now burning down prolife centers that help pregnant women while advocating killing 1.4 million babies in the womb every year , and not wanting any safety measures in schools while trying to protect the pedophiles on Weinstein’s list .

And do keep your sorry ass out of Texas, we have enough crap sneaking across the border as it is !

@Carazaa

So you'd visit Chicago instead...? 🤔

Where about 4000 people are shot every year?

@Thinkerbell let’s hope so ! I have a target T shirt she can borrow! 😂

@TexChik

@Thinkerbell even a Chicago crackhead on a drive by could hit that ! 😉👍🏻

@Thinkerbell I love Chicago. They have a gang problem ofcourse and that is sad. The police have to be more educated on how to help the fatherless boys there. They have to be more caring and visit the families and gain their trust so they have a father figure who can teach them and believe in them. Jesus love can heal, instead of killing them off.

@Carazaa [quote]The police have to be more educated on how to help the fatherless boys there[/quote]

That is not a police function.

@Budwick Yes that is why we pay them to work. To keep the peace. They are peace officers to make sure there is peace.

@Carazaa

The COPS are supposed to be father figures?! 😳

What about the absentee fathers?
Are they too busy with gang activities or doing drugs?

@Thinkerbell Yes, just like they have for hundreds of years the police in Scandinavia had no guns. They just walked their neighborhoods and talked to families who had stress. They visited every week and people trusted them. They worked as Gods peacemakers and gained the trust of the community. They would mediate, and encouraged peace between people.

@Carazaa I don't think being a father figure is on the job description.

@Carazaa [quote] for hundreds of years the police in Scandinavia had no guns. They just walked their neighborhoods and talked to families who had stress. [/quote]

I want to be in the room when your make your power point presentation on the South Side OF Chicago.

@Budwick That is why the police departments have to either be retrained to love more or to hire social workers. Every man is a role model for young boys and every woman is a role model for young girls.

If a police department has not gained the communities trust, they lost that community. We have to care about people.

I personally really feel sad for the african American family because what we did 200 years ago destroyed their families. Their men were taken from their children into slavery, and the women left their kids to work. Their kids did not have loving fathers at home. We are paying a heavy price now. And we all have to mentor and be kind and say sorry.

@Budwick I have mentored many gang members.

@Budwick I've even visited them in prison!

@Carazaa

News Flash: the police in Malmö aren't unarmed any more.

"Armed police guarding the the Malmö International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism"

@Thinkerbell Yes like I said they are armed now.

@Thinkerbell Sweden took in thousands and thousands of orphan children from the middle east the last 20 years because of the wars in the Middle East, and many of these children refused to stay in their foster homes in Sweden and escaped to the streets living outside and they are now doing crimes (much less than in the USA however), but nevertheless more crime than Sweden had the last 500 years. What Sweden is doing is supporting families who have it hard, and many Muslims have become Christians. Because of the equality in Scandinavia there is not a lot of homeless or poverty but because many are forgetting their God, Jesus, because they are so rich I personally think that Sweden will not do well until they turn back to God.

@Carazaa

You said the police in Scandinavia had NO guns.

The damage done by slavery seems to have been largely undone by 1950, when less than 20% of non-white (i.e., black) births were out of wedlock.

Then, after 1960, it skyrocketed to over 70%.
Something other than slavery was at work with that, as you well know... the national average jumped from about 5% to 40% in that same time period.

If you look at my comment again, my comment was all [i]past[/i] tense. I said they had no guns, they walked their neighborhoods, etc.

Regarding violence from slavery in families do not go away. The absence of a Father is often permanent, and often leaves scars for the children. It is exasperated by racism.

@Carazaa

[quote]"Yes, just like they [u]have[/u] for hundreds of years...."[/quote]

"Have" is not past tense; you later jumped tense to "had no guns." Your English teacher would not have approved.
You should have written, "Just as they [u]had[/u] for hundreds of years, the police in Scandinavia [u]had[/u] no guns."

And no, they didn't only admit a lot of young orphans into Sweden, they also let in a lot criminally-inclined Muslim young men who regarded Swedish women as whores for wearing short skirts.

There were large-scale sexual assaults on German women on New-Year's 2015-16 by such immigrants.
The authorities at first tried to cover it up, but it was too wide-spread, similar attacks also occurring at the same time in Hamburg.

And please explain what happened in the US after 1960 that made the black unwed-mother rate go from under 20% to over 70%. Was slavery re-established? Did racism increase and keep increasing between then and now? And what made the white illegitimacy rate increase from 5% to 40% in the same time period? There is a common element here, and it isn't slavery or racism.

@Thinkerbell
For some reason you don't believe me. I don't lie! I meant it all in [i]past [/i]tense . I have repeatedly shared that police have guns in Scandinavia for 2 years now on many posts, but they didn't need guns for hundreds of years and I explained how they operated.

Read it again.

If I meant present tense I would have written all these words in present tense that I highlighted below instead of past tense as I did in my quote above. English is not my first language I came to the USA at almost 15. I thought it was clear!

"Yes, just like they have for hundreds of years the police in Scandinavia[b] have [/b]no guns. They just[b] walk[/b] their neighborhoods and[b] talk[/b] to families who have stress. They [b]visit[/b] every week and people[b] trust[/b] them. They[b] work[/b] as Gods peacemakers and [b]gain[/b] the trust of the community. They [b]mediate,[/b] and [b]encourage [/b]peace between people."

There has been a lot of debate about aggressive young Muslim men when they FIRST come to Scandinavia, because their culture is different. Their women are covered, and Swedish women are often naked at the beaches and so are our young children. This is changing though. There is an educational program to educate new immigrants and after they understand that it is a culturally natural for Scandinavians to wear shorts and bathingsuits and very little in the summers, and not a sexual thing those boys respect that for the most part.

I understand that you have no pity for black families it is obvious! If a community has stress we have to help them not
blame them!

Please stop arguing about everything. Have a nice night!

Good for you.

Have you ever responded to a domestic disturbance call in a high crime area at 3 AM?

@Carazaa assault weapons are not legal anywhere
