What area do Dems believe suck?
Look up the finances of BART in the Bay Area. It's in very real trouble. A big reason for that is people don't feel safe riding it. It has little to do with what television says, it's from people's experiences on it. And thus ridership is way down.I understand, it was an incidental story, but I think Americans are more afraid in general these days.
If they watch too much television (certain channels) they believe NYC and Chicago and Mexico are very dangerous. (They likely can be, but usually only if you are involved in drug dealing or other specific activities.)
Brilliant argument
this is why you lost.
I know nothing about BART, ridden it a few times, maybe it’s dangerous. I know the horror people expressed about my daughter and I riding the NY Subway was way unjustified.Look up the finances of BART in the Bay Area. It's in very real trouble.

Having kids play free or ride their bike a mile in a leafy suburb can be a very different experience than an urban area. I'm not without concern my 8 year old having mentally ill/drugged out people approach her or start screaming at her while she's alone. I don't want to shelter her but I also don't see that as beneficial to growth.
the cities. I told you.MAGA pretends the cities suck. They don’t and aren’t anymore dangerous than 20 years ago.

It used to be very safe and efficient. A model for other cities. Not anymore.Look up the finances of BART in the Bay Area. It's in very real trouble.

They don’t suck. What areas do the Democrats say suck?the cities. I told you.
they know they suck, so they pretend everywhere sucks.
sour grapes.
stop being intentionally moronic.
Blue by 11,000 votes.All that is red is not right…as in correct. Also, it was blue just a few years ago. Wrong is wrong, no matter the color. Like I said in another post, unless there is a “rest of the story” to this I hope the woman wins.
LR, being a teacher (although I know of older students) have you followed this debate over free play at all? If yes, any thoughts?All that is red is not right…as in correct.

You.
this is why you lost.
I ran your opinions on allowing an 8 year old girl to walk a couple blocks to a park to play by herself. Let's just say it's 2 and 0 in your wife's favor.LR, being a teacher (although I know of older students) have you followed this debate over free play at all? If yes, any thoughts?
That area of GA, next door to MGT’s district is as red as it gets.Blue by 11,000 votes.
Agreed wrong is wrong regardless of other factors. Agreed on the woman winning her case and seeing justice done given there are no other factors.
Haha! Let me ask, did you preference what you told them that this was S.F.? Or did they think is was some regular suburb?I ran your opinions on allowing an 8 year old girl to walk a couple blocks to a park to play by herself. Let's just say it's 2 and 0 in your wife's favor.
Oh my wife reminded me she used to tell my son "I'm going to get you to 18 alive and then you are on your own." She kept that promise. BTW he is in total agreement with her parenting today and is an "alpha male" who is on the North Tarrant county SWAT team. Runs into houses with an AR 15 to drag dangerous criminals out. So her watchful eye did not hurt him much.
Notice how the MAGAts never take responsibility and always blame others for their behavior.That area of GA, next door to MGT’s district is as red as it gets.
While there has to be a certain amount of free play for kids...oportunities for them to make decisions for themselves and learn to watch out for themselves, I am probably going to side with your wife on the going to the park thing. We live in scary times.LR, being a teacher (although I know of older students) have you followed this debate over free play at all? If yes, any thoughts?
Here's another potential variable. I was with family this past weekend and by today's standards they had me relatively young, 24 & 25 years old. They said they didn't know what they were doing and because they couldn't always afford babysitters they would just bring me with them (even if it was out to bars).While there has to be a certain amount of free play for kids...oportunities for them to make decisions for themselves and learn to watch out for themselves, I am probably going to side with your wife on the going to the park thing. We live in scary times.
I remember when I was a kid we would venture into the woods and swim in the creeks around here on a regular basis. I would either walk or ride my bike and be a few miles from home on any given day. I couldn't imagine allowing a kid of 9 or so to go the places I went and do the things that I did.
Even in our small community we have people who have moved in, live at the RV park (what's the deal with all these RV parks showing up in every small community and town anyway?) ...we don't know who they are. If the law gets called to come here it is usually dealing with something stemming from that place.
All of that said, though, we still have to find places and opportunities where chances for harm are minimized and turn our kids loose to make decisions for themselves. I am just going to monitor them a bit more closely than I was monitored.
Jarod brought up crime rates being down but you and Guno said 'times are different'. The 'times are different' mindset can't be encapsulated in crime rate numbers.While there has to be a certain amount of free play for kids...oportunities for them to make decisions for themselves and learn to watch out for themselves, I am probably going to side with your wife on the going to the park thing.
