        @ABC Funny how helping the poor the world over makes it a better place, while helping defense contractors just makes it worse.

        @CassieEl4 @ABC partially true. It's also because the criminal lifestyle is celebrated in these communities. easier to be a thug.

        @jbain2320 @ABC I take umbrage at the dog whistle terminology of 'thug' It makes it too easy and lazy to address each on its own merits.

        @jbain2320 @ABC Lazy indeed bc it allows you to presume that there are always controllable factors that lead to becoming a 'thug'.

        @CassieEl4 @ABC what "uncontrollable factors" are there? Family, Friends, environment? Still a choice.

        @jbain2320 @ABC presume 'all' or lump 'all' into one category. Of course some are simply choice but certainly not all. You should know that.
