Back to the previous discussion on ethnicity, I thought this was interesting.

Yes it is interesting because it does the usual thing of confusing cause and effect. Marriage breakdowns and school drop outs are caused by poverty not the other way around.
 
except when it is the other way round
If the cause is that way around it must be because there is an innate tendency for black Americans to have less stable marriages and be lazier at school than whites, Asians and Nigerians. If that were true there would be well documented evidence. It would be easy to take poverty out of the statistics.

Unless you mean 'relationship poverty' them pesky black folk don't seem to agree.

For many, it isn’t just the family that is fragmented, there is also little support from other caring adults, causing what the report calls “relationship poverty.” Supportive family members, peers, and caring adults inside and outside of school are critical to helping students persist toward a high school diploma, the report concludes.

In addition, it identifies seven adverse life experiences that are predictive of dropping out:

  1. Becoming a parent
  2. Being suspended or expelled even once
  3. Having several friends drop out
  4. Feeling academically unprepared for school
  5. Experiencing a significant mental health problem
  6. Homelessness, and moving to a new home.
Young people who dropped out endured twice as many of these adverse life experiences as students who stayed in school and graduated on time.
 
It gets revitalised when a new bit of info is added to the discussion like last night when it was discovered that Pete's Polish missus had to pay off his debts.

I gave it to her mate. But what Pete's Mrs had to do for it, it was worth every Euro.
 
Says stuttering, with yet another in his long, long line of personal comments and deflecting from the EU debate. <doh>

My personal comments were in response to similar comments made to me, invariably.

You, however, have been shown by numerous posters here to be constantly guilty of deflection, diversion, and obfuscation of any issue or point that you don't have an answer to.

As Nietzsche said!.......

And well done to you for yet again purposefully choosing to misunderstand what I've written so you can subsequently dodge the following question. You're spineless.
I've not misinterpreted anything you've ever written you ****ing racist horror

You're a skid mark in the bills of life, you pathetic prick
 
Some of the points apply to areas other than the US elections too.

I wonder who'll be the first to make a personalised rather than content based reply.
