    Poverty, lack of opportunity and inequality reduce choice.

    Ah ok. So you'd be happy to move you and your family to a run down area of Chicago confident that your kids would have the opportunities to make the right choices and end up chairman/woman of the Board would you?
    Course you wouldn't.

    No. I'm not in poverty either.

    I agree it is completely about choices BUT those choices do tend to be influenced by the opportunities you have and your upbringing which is directly related to your lack of wealth and the pack of wealth in entire areas. It isn't an excuse but it IS a cause

    That's got to be the stupidest argument I've read on here in a long time.

    Because your kids would be disadvantaged and have a higher percentage chance of getting involved in crime?
    Thanks. You just confirmed my point.

    Excellent. Regardless of skin colour a disadvantaged environment reduces opportunity and choice.
    Great stuff. We agree.

    This thread proves that there is no point debating even the most simple of concepts to a thicko.

    I thought we just did as you agreed with my point. Maybe not.
    What I suggest is that the next time you're on Skeggy beach you go heavy on the factor 50. You don't want to go getting a suntan or you might start making bad choices.

    Maybe it's because of the colour of our skin? :D
