but the stats show the truth
 
Again, it's RatBastard. His analysis of statistics is notoriously in "flunked out of STAT 101" territory.

Dude, it's RatBastard, he's human garbage. None of you call him on it because he has a token gay friend.

I think I've been pretty clear what I think about him and his views.

Ben Carson,s chances. Republicans, everywhere just smiled, because there was no way they were voting for a black guy.

You would be surprised.  Then again you said Republicans not conservatives.  Most conservatives I know vote based on the merit of the individual candidates listed on the ballot and not on superficial things like skin color, age, gender, etc.


After following a number of different political websites, and this forum for awhile, I can report that liberals are every bit as sanctimonious, mean spirited, and nasty as conservatives in online forums. Perhaps even more so.

If conservatives are so piously color-blind and pure, why do they so consistently take positions that are opposed by minorities? And why has the conservative movement been overwhelmingly led by white men? And why do you suppose the conservative movement is most strong in a part of America - the South - that has a long and recent history with racism, prejudice, and inequality?

I guess it's all just a weird coincidence.

am i the only person here who isn't a fan of Reston?  i think it's a boring, over-planned attempt at social engineering.  i worked in sterling for a year and ended up in reston pretty regularly (sometimes stayed at a hotel there).  if you're ok with a place that went from cow pastures to "city of the future" in 3 years, and all the charm and character that comes with building a city overnight, then yeah... it's magical.

One of my best friends grew up in this area, and has lived in Maryland, DC, and Virginia since I've known him (18 years). When it was time to buy a house, that's where he (and his wife) chose. They seem to love it there.

For some reason, I think it's probably hard to grasp the charm in a place where you've only stayed at a mid-level hotel there for work.

Me too.

 I can't think of any neighborhood/town in the DMV area that struck me as a place that I TRULY LOVE. But I could probably find things I like about many area neighborhoods/towns.

I truly love the Cap Hill/Eastern Market/Lincoln Park area of DC. I started living on the Hill in 1992 and have never been tempted to live anywhere else. It was a great neighborhood to live in as a swinging bachelor and it's an even better neighborhood to live in with kids. It's like it a small town nestled in a big city.

^^I'd agree with that^^

The only downside is it's a bit out of the way in terms of where I hang out, work, travel to often, etc... but I agree.

What's the typical price for home for a family of three or four? How are the public schools in the neighborhood?

Schools are great, home is probably a million.

I'd put money on you being wrong.

Fairfax County:
4.63% Muslim

DC:
0.67% Muslim
