Why don't you try putting quotes around "urban youth" and "suburban youth" and tell us all the results. So let me get this straight...you're saying that every article about urban youth gang violence results in 150 stories about urban youth violence migrating to the suburbs? And you expect me to prove such a ridiculous assertion for you?

And you expect me to prove such a ridiculous assertion for you? all your search proved is that the word "suburban" is more likely to appear in these articles. Search for "urban youth" or "suburban youth" with quotation marks and you get a completely different outcome.

Search for "urban youth" or "suburban youth" with quotation marks and you get a completely different outcome. I'll take your word for it. Mostly because I know you didn't do it, and are talking out of your ass, which amuses me. Plus...I used your own words as a search term. Check your posts. You didn't put "suburban youth" in quotes. And it's my fault? You sure you're not a Democrat? But I'll give you credit for not taking the "I said find me videos, not internet links". You swerved down a completely different side road of stupidity than I really expected.

3rdnlng Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) I noticed the problem with the 23 million "suburban" youth postings vs. the 1 million "urban" youth postings when you first posted it Tom but had to leave the computer for awhile and couldn't point it out. Click on the links below. The first one is the first page I got when I googled "white youth mobs". It has 1,820,000 postings. The second link is what I got when I googled "black youth mobs". It had 126,000 postings. Now read the brief description of each article at both links. Isn't this what we are really talking about but just dancing around the edges? People are too pc to call it like it is and then use false figures to back up their claims. There is an ever increasing problem with people feeling that they are entitled. This entitlement attitude is becoming more and more prevalent in our country. It appears worse in urban areas than in suburban areas. It is wrong, wrong, wrong for our country. We shouldn't be burying our heads in the sand and making excuses for bad behavior but calling it like it is and finding a way to change it. Political Correctness is a large part of the problem and just an impediment to solving the real problems. http://www.google.com/search?q=white+youth+mobs&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADBF_enUS333 http://www.google.com/search?q=black+youth+mobs&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADBF_enUS333 Edited October 26, 2011 by 3rdnlng

Click on the links in my prior post and just read the descriptions on each first page. You will see how distorted a search can appear.
3rdnlng Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I'm rather surprised that nobody has responded to what I thought would be viewed here as a somewhat controversial post. (#226) The links I provided pretty much dispute DC's premise re "suburban" vs. "urban" numbers.
LeviF Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 On a semi-related (google) note, look at what happens when you search "jew" on google.
3rdnlng Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 On a semi-related (google) note, look at what happens when you search "jew" on google. That's a little crazy but I googled "white youth mobs" and "black youth mobs" and got many of the same results on the first page for both. It just so happened that they were picking up "black youth mobs" that were attacking whites on both searches. Regardless, there is a problem here, and a proper discussion would have to be a frank one that didn't try to confuse the issue with denying its existance by quoting bogus numbers.
3rdnlng Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I see no one wants to take on the challenge of discussing something that might make them a little uncomfortable.
LeviF Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I see no one wants to take on the challenge of discussing something that might make them a little uncomfortable. I would, but I think we'd end up agreeing. Fancy that
Chef Jim Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 On a semi-related (google) note, look at what happens when you search "jew" on google. Ok, and explanation is in order. You get this when you google "jew".
DC Tom Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I see no one wants to take on the challenge of discussing something that might make them a little uncomfortable. I'm just too busy at the moment for this nonsense. I might discuss it later. Or not. Depends on whether or not I'm bored enough to pretend to give a ****.
LeviF Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Ok, and explanation is in order. You get this when you google "jew". Their "explanation" is what I was laughing at.
DC Tom Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Their "explanation" is what I was laughing at. Somewhere out there there's a neo-Nazi thinking Google's explanation is excusing their non-antisemitic results.
LeviF Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Somewhere out there there's a neo-Nazi thinking Google's explanation is excusing their non-antisemitic results. Which is equally as funny. That also reminds me of this: Edited October 29, 2011 by LeviF91
DC Tom Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Which is equally as funny. That also reminds me of this: The SA pretty much looked like that. Neo-nazis are great, though, because they never seem to twig that they're just the sort of mental deficients the Nazis gassed.
