“You’re not going to like me for this but oftentimes these sort of things fit well with Darwin’s Laws.”
dave — your understanding of dawrin’s laws are pretty bad if you think this.
Check out population growth rates in the communities you are thinking about and then compare them to population growth rates in other communities that you think are on the other end of your ‘darwin’ spectrum.
The analogy fails.
if they have children tho dave, then darwin’s law doesnt apply dave.

This is the first I’ve heard that BWW was actually marketing this promotion to high school and middle school students. This seems inappropriate for an establishment that, whether you call it a restaurant or a bar, serves alcohol, and a lot of it. I’m surprised unsupervised minors would even be allowed in. Although come to think of it, when my daughter was in middle school she went to someplace similar in Sheepshead Bay (TGIF maybe?) for a friend’s birthday and I’m pretty sure there was no parental supervision, given that they also went to see Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
“That discussion invariably leads to unfounded charges of racism and actual racism, so polite company avoids it like the plague.”
Yes, I suppose that’s it.
I wonder how responsible that is for the intractability of some of the problems faced by poor, non-white, inner city populations. If you can’t even talk about it honestly, you can’t do much to fix it.
Reminds me sadly of how the radical israelis and palestinians have so successfully prevented any sane solution to their problems.
