It gave me a chance to show off my ebonics skills and inform everyone of my successful penis enlargment. Represent!!!

Well it is a certainly interesting read for one who studied economy and some sociology. Appearing fit is a classic strategy in biology and socialbiology. It becomes problematic when the individuums in question get monetary support from the state, ergo the taxpayer and spend it in a way which does little to change their monetary situation and the one of their children. After seeing this study I would bolster as a macroeconomist support for the poorer stratii of the society in education and health and reduce money handouts as a general rule.

Funny thing about the second link, 6 of the 10 Most Wanted for evasion in that county are white. A small example to show.

Bad argument, there are 6.3 million peeps in Indiana and only 9% are black but 40% of that list are black. Anyhow, people who skirt child support are bitches.

I would assume most people that don't pay child support are from the lower end of the economic ladder, a higher percentage of blacks are in that lower income bracket than whites that probably helps explain part of the numbers...
