Some are saying there's a "systemic problem" of police brutality and racism.
The data says otherwise.
Here's some facts to ponder:
1. There's about 700,000 cops in America. Of those, about 1,200 are charged each year with crimes, including excessive force, racism, murder, fraud, etc. That means 99.9% of cops can be deemed good cops.
2. Each year there's about 10 million arrest-related activities by cops (such as George Floyd's arrest). Using the aforementioned stat, 99.999% happen without charges to officers.
Bottom line, I think the Minnesota cop's actions were criminal...and I hope he serves time.
But it's ludicrous to hate all police or think there's rampant racism or brutality based on .1% of cops and .0001% of arrests.
C'mon people, we're smarter than this.

Here's a few Covid facts you'll never hear from fear mongering media (source below):
- As of early July, the overall cumulative COVID-19 associated hospitalization rate is 102.5 per 100,000 people (1%), with the highest rates in people 65 years of age and older (306.7 per 100,000) followed by people 50-64 years (155.0 per 100,000).
- Based on death certificate data, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 9.0% during week 25 to 5.9% during week 26 (June), representing the tenth consecutive week during which a declining percentage of deaths.
- Among 8,672 hospitalized adults with information on underlying medical conditions, 91% had at least one reported underlying medical condition. The most commonly reported were hypertension, obesity, chronic metabolic disease, and cardiovascular disease.
- Over 96% of people who've caught Covid have recovered fully.
- About 99% of people under age 55 without underlying health conditions have recovered fully.

Fun Facts...regarding important topics rather than this ludicrous story:
1. Some polls show Biden leading Trump. A reminder to Dems that polls had Hillary beating Trump handily, and she did...in the popular vote.
2. The popular vote is meaningless in the big picture. It's heavily skewed but the most populous States, particularly California and New York.
3. Trump's landslide win was in the electoral college and GOP House and Senate seats.
4. All the signs for Trump's win were in the 2014 midterms. Obama's incompetence led the Democrats to slaughter, included a record NINE new GOP Senate seats.
5. The Democrat's infamous "low information" voter base is massive. They'll vote blue if the candidate is an inanimate carbon rod (old Simpson's reference, look it up if you want a laugh).
6. Therefore, Biden could easily beat Trump in the popular vote. And let's face it, he's not far from being an inanimate carbon rod.
7. But fortunately, our Founding Fathers foresaw this problem, hence the electoral college.
By the way, in case you didn't guess, I'm a Trump supporter. KAG 2020

renaissance1980 ..I didn't say Trump won all of the other 48 States, just that overall he won them by 2 million votes. Just like Hillary won CA and NY by 5 million votes.
Again, I think it's a fun fact for Dems and Trump haters.
Most are completely unaware that Hillary's popular vote win needs an asterisk.
The Founding Fathers were smart with the Electoral College system. Otherwise, CA and NY would determine the President every election. No one wants that.
Regarding your other points, here's a few other Fun Facts:
1. Trump never called the Covid virus a hoax. The context of his comment was the Democrats using the crisis for more lies and political attacks...just like the impeachment hoax. Google it. You really need to stop watching propaganda media like CNN and MSNBC.
2. Trump has admitted he was overly positive early in the crisis with statements like "15 to 0". But let's remember NY Governor Cuomo said he had "everything under control" on March 3, and De Blasio told New Yorkers to "act normal, ride the subway, go to school".
And then Cuomo put Covid-positive seniors into nursing homes, resulting in thousands of deaths.
New York State has about 1/4 of the country's Covid deaths with half the population of California. While population density is a factor, it's clear that Cuomo and De Blasio were criminally negligent and blaming Trump for all 150,000 deaths is ludicrous.
3. And remember Biden calling the China Travel restriction "xenophobic and hysterical"? Or Pelosi visiting China Towns encouraging everyone to go? Or other Dem leaders calling Trump "racist" for his travel ban?
Bottom line, I think Trump haters REALLY need to start looking at the facts.
Then you'll realize why his support is stronger than ever. (polls are meaningless)

The Spartan...Thank you for the honest answers. Again, I respect your opinions.
We'll need to disagree on the god topic. But the good news is since you're a mono-theist (one god) believer, we differ in our beliefs by only one god-story!
I also think Xenu is a fake god. I've simply added your god to the long, long list of gods I don't believe in. You're 99.9% atheist. I'm 100% atheist. That's common ground...;)
I encourage you to seek facts and knowledge on the age of the earth. While doing so, you should probably seek knowledge on the evolution of species. If you believe a fictional character created the earth and universe, you probably believe he also created life.
While you research evolution, please ask yourself why you have (or had) wisdom teeth. And hair follicles everywhere. And a coccyx (tailbone). And muscles to move your ears. And a body made up of trillions of non-human cells. And a DNA make-up that's amazingly similar to our mammalian cousins, such as chimps, apes, gibbons, pigs, whales, dogs, etc etc.
And if you truly believe the "Adam and Eve" story ask yourself how Eve shaved her legs and armpits in the garden of eden...;)

Jack Richardson ..I see you have multiple comments in this section, each one similar to this.
I encourage you to do some research on the 4.5 billion year history of the earth and the many causes of climate change.
You could start as recently as 500 to 1,000 years ago to see significant warming and cooling cycles. (the Medieval warming period and "Mini Ice Age"). Not a lot of burning of fossil fuels going on at the time.
While human activity is definitely a factor, we're at the mercy of many others completely beyond our control, such as solar energy, tectonics, volcanoes, and natural changes to wind patterns and ocean currents.
And it's important to remember there's many natural sources of Co2. For example, wildfires emit MILLIONS of tons of co2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year. They've been a natural part of climate change for millennia.
Lastly, there's a good reason we no longer call it "global warming". I encourage you to learn why, and look deeply into the scientific consensus on "human-caused" climate change. You'll find a lot of words such as "likely" and "probably".

Jack Richardson ..Thanks for the opportunity for effective discussion. Yes, the greenhouse effect is absolutely a factor in climate change. And as I said, human activity is definitely contributing to this effect.
But there’s many other aspects to the carbon cycle. Moreover, there’s been many periods in earth history with significantly more carbon in the atmosphere than now. Over TEN times as much in fact.
That medieval warming period I referred to was partly a result of the greenhouse effect. Again, there sure wasn’t a lot of burning of fossil fuels at the time.
Earth’s temperature has fluctuated significantly. Some research and theory shows predictable cycles. Some short (thousands of years) and some much longer. The many factors to climate change are why temperature will fluctuate regardless of what we do (or don’t do).
In particular, we’re at the complete mercy of the sun. Which of course will eventually go super nova and eliminate the entire solar system, making climate change no longer a problem...:)
The main reason for my original comment is that we’re inundated with alarmist rhetoric and lies-by-omission regarding natural weather and climate events (including the growth and shrinking of ice sheets and glaciers). For example, media loves to use the words “record” or “historic” to describe storms or temperature events. You rarely hear them mention the records are based on only about 100 years of data and storm-strength measures started only about 50 years ago. On a 4.5 billion year old planet!
I guarantee a large percentage of people think these “records” are for the history of the earth. They think the same whenever they hear “all time worst!” to describe a weather event, drought, flood or storm. I’ve talked with some of these people. The level of ignorance is astounding. I call it Al Gore syndrome.
Bottom line, my point is there’s many significant causes of climate change besides human activity and it’s a blatant lie whenever media, special interest groups, or government say we’re entirely responsible.

@AllezThierryHenry ..Sorry, but the analogy is perfect. The Tooth Fairy is as real as any of the thousands of Gods our species has worshiped. Not believing in her (?) can't be deemed "delusional".
You are smart to say "there are many rational reasons to believe" in a God. The key word is "reasons". I fully understand that the various God-stories, and the cults that promote them, give many 'reasons' to believe. It's exactly like parents telling their children if they put their tooth under their pillow they'll get money from the Tooth Fairy. It gives the child a 'reason' to believe.
I also agree there's some good that comes from the religion/cult businesses. However it's FAR outweighed by its crimes against humanity. Including war, genocide, child abuse, subjugation of women, genital mutilation of children, 8 year-old girls forced to marry, death to gays, forced "tithes" extorting money from cult members, televangelists preying on the weak and stupid so they can buy their 5th private jet to 'spread the word of Jesus'...etc, etc, etc.

@savvy1367 ..While it's true there's some common sense values stated in the Bible, it's a massive generalization to state its the source of morality. And such a claim ignores the egregious immorality it contains. Many Biblical statements have been (and are being) used by Christian and Catholic sects/cults to justify racism, sexism, incest, polygamy, pedophilia, and other immoral acts and crimes. For example:
1. Perversity and human trafficking condoned: "Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse." (1 Peter 2:18)
2. Sex slavery condoned: "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again."
Exodus 21: 7-8
3. Incest and getting drunk with dad is no problem if the world is running thin on suitable DNA donors: "And the elder said to the younger Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth. Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father."
4. Virgin girl children are objects of value: "And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. Numbers 31:1-18
I could go on for pages with such quotes.
In addition to the above crimes, your Bible condones murder, genocide, torture and ethnic cleansing. And remember...your God-story includes him killing off the entire human race...twice. And children are still taught this God is real?!
I strongly recommend never referring to your ridiculous God story or the Bible for moral guidance. It's a fictional book that provides dangerous messages. Like the Quran (which is perhaps worse in terms of immoral teachings), the Bible is a scourge on humanity.

@savvy1367 ..I recommend you break up your comments into paragraphs.
I encourage you to do some research on the history of ethics in our species. LONG before your particular God-story and fictional book there were well-documented moral and ethical principles being followed in many cultures.
For example, ancient Chinese cultures were writing down basic morals and ethics thousands of years before common era (BCE) and your God-story and Bible. And ancient Sumerian, Eqyptian, Persian, Roman and Greek cultures were writing down and following basic ethical principles LONG before Christianity.
Side note...At some point you should realize the Bible and your God/Jesus story is simply a copy of previous God/Prophet myths. Primarily Eqyptian, Greek, Roman and Persian stories. For example, Jesus' fictional virgin birth, crucifiction/resurrection, and many other details are carbon copies of previous stories.
In the context of the hundreds of different God-delusions in our species history, the Christian/Catholic cult is as original as the Scientology cult.
Back to the topic....While we can't verify exactly when we started following basic moral principles, it's presumed our rapidly evolving brain led to our understanding of the benefits of an ethical approach to others tens of thousands of years ago. We HAD to learn right from wrong to survive.
Regarding your reference to the ridiculous Adam and Eve story, it's important for you to realize our species has been around for about 250,000 years. As have our close cousins on the Mammalian family tree such as Apes, Pigs, Chimps etc.
While we indeed lived in caves while we migrated throughout the planet from the continent now known as Africa, those "cavemen" you mention were our Hominid ancestors, who evolved over about 10 million years. Along with Neanderthals. Some of us even have some Neanderthal DNA.
And of course, if we go back further....well, suffice to say we have wisdom teeth, muscles to move our ears and a tailbone for a reason....:)
I notice you didn't comment on my list of immoral teachings in the Bible. I hope you've reflected on how dangerous the book is... and how it's being used by your religion for ongoing crimes against humanity.
