No, I'm going to sit in my modestly furnished house, have a fair amount of beer and music and watch my equity pile up.

Like Hoya said, are you defending these kids?  If so, please explain.

I actually agree with Rhett -- I don't go out for dinner nearly as often as some friends.  I do go to a lot of shows, and I like to have folks over to drink -- great way to save money (though mostly it's just a choice because you can catch up more).  Also, a friend across the way has an amazing roofdeck...(this is city living as well!)

I'm certainly not defending the stone-throwing kids, just saying I understand the motive.  I hope you understand the difference.   As a bike rider, I'd be pissed if some kid threw rocks at me, and I'd probably try to club him with my U-lock, but I'd understand where he was coming from.
 
 Also, I need to point out that USA Today isn't exactly what would be considered a scholarly resource.
 
 ps, on the subject of bikes I'm selling a Jamis Coda city bike if anyone needs one...

LOL. Yeah, I thought the same thing. Also, the article came off very slanted especially as it often contradicted itself as it went along.
 
 As I said before, White neo-con guilt.

Perhaps the stone thrower needs to work a bit harder in school and in life, then he can become a yuppie himself.

No, it's not.  However, McPaper is merely reporting on the findings of the "scholarly resources" of Columbia and Duke.

Please look into the original sources of this reportage, and then get back to us with a brief synopsis as well as your assessment as to whether USA Today's account was accurate.  Thanks.

OK, slick.
 
 In the meantime, you can continue to proffer your unsubstantiated claims of mass displacement and explain how that diaspora so traumatizes the remaining indigenous youth that they have no alternative but to take up the only arms their impoverished existence affords and use those to assault the boojy white conquerors.

A specious claim, as it rests on an assumption that neo-cons feel guilt....

Yes, I was going to state something along those lines but then decided to drop the subject where it was.    :p  
 
 By the same token, I believe that an equal amount of the upper crust gentry are out of touch dems who have completely lost touch with all that they claim to support and a fair amount of them aren't even White. Oh, the irony!

the only guilt that neo-cons have right now is that they didn't think of the oil plot in "24" first.

[thirsty moore]

And what motive is this?  If it's anything other than kids being pricks, I'd be surprised.

You all need to stop arguing, and hug.  Please.
