NZ does have tight immigration standards already. Interesting.This guy used to be the leader of the Labour Party (our Dems). This is his solution..
Cut immigration to ease housing woes, says Auckland mayoral candidate Phil Goff - National - NZ Herald News
How are politicians and people doing at solving the problem?You don't see that scale of problem in other cultures, why? Standards and expectations.You stop the cycle by having community leaders set the bar high where it should be for behavior, and calling BS on the PC claptrap of everyone can do what they want if it feels good for you.I agree to a certain extent. However the problem is that 1/4 kids are born without a father at home.
Now the question is this, why are poor people more likely to have single parent families?
The Most Important Statistics About Single Parents
Single Mother Statistics — Single Mother Guide
"30.4% of custodial single mothers and their children lived in poverty"
"18.8% of custodial single fathers and their children lived in poverty"
'Today 1 in 4 children under the age of 18 — a total of about 17.4 million — are being raised without a father4 and nearly half (45%) live below the poverty line.5"
So, nearly half of kids in fatherless families are living in poverty.
What's the relationship between poverty and single parent families? Well it doesn't seem that hard to come up with a few possibilities. Say, poor people are likely to be less well educated. They're more likely to be frustrated with their job, if they have one. They're more likely to get into drugs. Poverty is where the problems get exacerbated massively. Many people have lost hope that their lives will be any good and they're more likely to commit crime.
Do single parents lead to poverty or does poverty lead to single parents, or both, or both are possible but sometimes it's one, sometimes the other and sometimes both?
Another question is this. If you're born into poverty what are your chances of success? I ask this not as an excuse (people are continually look for people looking for excuses and label anyone who say anything they don't like as looking for excuses), but for reality.
Some poor people make it. But only a percentage of them will make it, the rest won't. Now, this is the reality and not all of these poor people can possibly make it, the way the US is set up simply will not allow it. If more poor people rise out of poverty it means those not born in poverty will sink into it.
So doing nothing won't change things. Demanding that poorly educated young people get up off their ass and go do something about it doesn't work because they've grown up believing there is no hope, from the parents, their grandparents, for those around them, and they're looking for a way out but won't get help in education and other areas.
There's a problem. And the problem is made worse by people passing the buck and blaming black people for being in poverty, or for having problems with their families etc.
The questions are. How do you stop this cycle of single parents? How do you stop the cycle of poverty? How do you go about being proactive and making the US work again?
Ah, yes, the simple solutions that didn't work before and aren't working now and won't work in the future.
Like trying to fix a fridge by looking at the oven.
Because politicians and people actually try and solve the problems in society. Yes, standards and expectations. People expect their govt to work for them. In the US people don't.
Yeah, blacks making $20M a year sit down during the anthem and politicians mock law enforcement.
Obvious why things are spinning out of control.
ya have a point from the standpoint that people watch the nfl to watch the nfl. Not some freak acting out his political fantasies.I would bench him.Sounds like someone wants to be traded from the 49ers.
Asshole.

His defensive line has let him down. He's been sacked too many times and is now suffering the effects of multiple head injuries. Before too long, he'll be sitting in his own filth if he doesn't get 24 hour home hospice care.He's an ignorant idiot.

I didn't say he didn't have a right to publicly air his views. I said he's a prick and an asshole.
Lol!! Really?
I'll make it so simple that even you can understand things...
Go to post#70 and you will see that you weren't being responded to...
.
Actually you ignorant pile of shit...people were stating that he should lose his job.Conservatives are so stupid , they don't know what a Constitutional Right is....Ho Hum...another stupid conservative that equates the First Amendment to a straw man...trump's squatters...Ho hum, another straw man from a stupid Leftie. Can't get through a day without seeing them.
Lefties are so stupid they don't even recognize when they use a straw man argument.
You're the one that is stupid. You apparently don't understand that someones constitutional rights does not protect them from criticism.
That's not criticism...
If he had refused to stand saying that it's because obama is polluting the white hut would you still agree to his freedom of speech?
if that were true, loony toon. i'd say it's his right. otherwise, i'd just say he's an imbecile like you
You'd be calling for him to get fired.
no. that's a rightwingnut thing....

The left has been trying to get Rush Limbaugh fired for years. They threaten his advertisers with boycotts all the time.
The Dixie Chicks said they were embarrassed George Bush was from Texas.
They paid a huge price.
Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut.
He paid a huge price.
Both sides play this game.
i notice he still lives here and accepts that big salary...so he cant be that perturbed....
He seems real oppressed. What has he done with all his millions to help black people?
Well you know, he sat down during the national anthem. That's literally what he has done for blacks. Now all blacks that have been oppressed can feel liberated because some millionaire QB sat during the national anthem. It was really important ya know, it's already changed so many lives in the poor black communities.

you mean trying to point out that the oxycontin junkie is a lying loon fomenting hatred in this country for decades just to line his pockets?
and the loser deserved to pay a big prices. i don't think we should be paying for the loon's viagra.
it's more than hearsay:I'm hearing he converted to Islam. If true, that would explain a lot.
This isn't about you Colin Kaepernick. This is about the brave men and women who have bled the flag crimson for your freedom to be a fucking idiot.
No, it's not.
Yeah it is. You neocon-type Yanks love to feel good about yourselves. You need to be the loudest in the room. In the world. You love to be noticed. You are forever dying to tell everybody how great you are. All that does is lead to resentment. The word's 'quiet achiever' are not in the neocon Yank lexicon. Trump being a classic example.
Seems like the bigger you are, the bigger your assholes are.
In Canada we never burn our flag. We stand, respectfully, when it is being played. Hell we even try to sing it without stylized screeching and modulations. You know, just from the heart.
I am offended when an American defies American traditions, just as I would be offended if a Canadian defied Canadian traditions.
Has to do with common decency.
I don't agree with flag burning either. I just think nationalism is over rated. No good ever comes from it.
