"Having kids at 16 years old with no father around is" what happens to some people. The actual teen birth rate in the US is 4.15%, no data on whether or not the father was part of the family unit post-partum. Are you suggesting that 4.15% of the US population is vastly responsible for looting during natural disasters or riots? Or are you just beating up on teen mothers with rudimentary sexual education, little understanding of the workings of an advanced society (which encompasses most if not all teenagers) or lack of funding/access to family planning? Your politically regressive talking points have little value in any argument that anyone can easily pick apart with statistics. I do that for fun. It's easier to state that you think that poor, black people are naturally prone to looting and there's nothing that anyone can say or do that will change your mind. I'd respect more for your ignorance than for your feeble attempt to explain your position. |

You really look at statistics for fun..really? It sure doesn't sound like it. Of course not ALL will be responsible, but more often then not, the people responsible for looting are uneducated and poor.

I blame the parents, for not giving them the proper education when it comes to protection. I am interested in the statistics on the parents of teenage mothers. How many of them were also teenage mothers and how many families only had one parent? We also won't be able to see the number of two-parent families that just didn't spend any time with their kids.

You mentioned race, I didn't, which shows your ignorance. I'm talking about culture, which many times is separated by race.
The problem is that we can't even show statistics that prove that one race might, on average, be committing crimes or are in any way different than another, without being labeled a racist. So, I'm not going to even bother.
Without being able to figure out why, there will never be a solution to the problem. Even if we knew why, there will always be people that decide to have kids early or make poor life decisions. It's the price of living in a free society.
