For someone who almost exclusively posts about crime your sure do love to shit on attempts to reduce it.
>These programs are attempting to do the work of parents.
No they aren't.
>A government worker can't ever replace a parent.
Nobody is suggesting they should except for your disingenuous strawman.
>We'd be better off spending this $200 million on things that actually improve people's lives.
Sure, let's take it out of the corrupt PPD's budget.
>Bad parenting is the root cause of a lot of our problems in society.
Sure, just gloss over systematic poverty and generational overincarceration for non-violent drug offenses..
Blaming parents isn't a solution. You offer no tangible solution to stop the violence that's happening NOW. All you do it try to assign blame and you even do that badly. Blaming people is not a solution.

Picking the 10 most recent posts, which are still over 30% related to crime (the fact that you used a different tag doesn't change that), and ignoring years of crime posting is a big LOL
Ignoring the rest of the fact that your "argument" holds no water is an even bigger LOL.

Move those goalposts more buddy.
You made the claim.
I provided evidence to the contrary.
I guess we'll just have to take your word on it since you won't cite any sources the way I just did.
You made a claim insulting my character and then basically said: "Trust me bro" as your evidence.

Pointing out that you used an arbitrary and non-representative sample isn't moving the goalposts, it's pointing out that your arguments are bad.

That's what you said.
3 out of 10 of my last posts, which is what I've submitted over the past 2 months here, have been about crime.
Is 3 out of 10 "almost exclusively"?
You made the claim buddy.
Provide the evidence to back up your claim.
Should we just take your word for it?
Cuz I provided proof that would indicate otherwise.
