Re: The effects of living in a poor neighborhood
#3sounds like this is really prejudiced against poor people. Why is a poor neighborhood inherently more stressful than a rich neighborhood? What's the root cause? Not enough XBox's per capita?

I think it was a "eurolibertarian" response to the European welfare state.

#5This looks like a pretty substantive article with an unfortunately infantilized presentation. Let's try to stick to the important content if we can.

#7This article is the biggest bunch of rubbish that I have read in months. It takes bias to whole new levels. People are starting to realize that "studies" are almost always biased in the first place and should not be trusted. Secondly, look at some of the examples used:
A comparison is made between:
> 25% of black kids had parents who grew up in the bottom two levels* and moved up at least one.
and
> 59% of white kids moved up
Notice any difference here? The whole article is like this. Comparing completely separate things. This is laughable. I feel embarrassed by the bias and sorry for those who read this article with a straight face.

Asa non-infant, I actually appreciated the graphics.

I liked the presentation the most out of every aspect of the article. I don't think it's infantile.
If anything, I see the author's tone, bias, and perspective as problematic, but I suppose this is also just as subjective, and isn't a reason to not share an article.

I didn't get very far in the article. Having so many cartoons is like having a commercial break every 20 seconds.
