Since when did the words "personal responsibility" become taboo?

219. vapidity is not a value to many people

as a female, I find women who chirp about personal responsibility and prisons, with no knowledge, apparently, of the use of prisons as a new form of Jim Crow (i.e. racist laws grounded in nothing but racism itself) an embarrassment to women.

I would assume you have little to no knowledge of much of anything based upon your posts.

You can assume that one person's moderate is another person's conservative. The things you have posted here tag you as a social conservative, not moderate or liberal, fwiw.

With your other post here talking about charity in various states that links it to religious conservatism - do you look at how much of that charity actually goes to people in need and how much is going to institutions that, again, don't necessarily target those in need, but build mega churches, etc?

You have to wonder why those "charitable" states have such draconian sentencing laws, why they have the most illiterate, both scientific and written word, populations, why they have the worst rates of teen pregnancies... and the reason for this is their religious right wing voters. Utah doesn't fit this model, even tho the Mormons hold preposterous beliefs, but the church has set up a system of socialism for its members, and it is a very insular mono-culture.

I'm calm, btw, when I tell you that people who make statements like yours are repellent.
