It's a generalization to say so, Craig and open to all sorts of opinions but from my experience "niceness" puts groceries on the table. Good manners trumps meanness and callousness in families, the work place---and countries.
Lot's of riots, the majority were race motivated where large numbers of Blacks reside and turned to looting, violence and major property damage. Those that were not race motivated usually did not end in looting and death.
Niceness didn't work in Ferguson Missouri for the last 150 years anyway King,.....the county there has been pandering to negro's since the civil war....and nothing has changed in Ferguson King, it's still a ghetto town with a majority of negro's who don't work and they resort to violence while trying to make a point..........and after midnight at that, while everywhere else WORKING MEN AND WOMEN ARE SLEEPING............Please explain "niceness" to those people....and then spread your speech to New Orleans, Houston, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, Paris, London, JoBurg etc., etc., and etc.....
King, since those families in Ferguson are mean and callous, why don't you go down there and help out......don't libs go help when the fire is turned up....or do you just talk...?....All you liberal types could probably get a free bus ride to Ferguson....?....
Sure is funny that this same scenario plays out repeatedly in almost every large city on the planet.........same exact scenario.....
starts with their own commission of a crime or crimes......and it always escalates into LOOTING AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, VIOLENCE AND FINGER POINTING WITHOUT THE FACTS.............It's all b.s. King.........
