doesn't make up for all the terrible things your government does

Economically, and socially Texas is still making large strides as opposed to your other major states.
-
great strides socially? LOLOL like reaffirming their ban on gay marriage, closing planned parenthood clinics, etc? get outta here with that.
-
You are just proving yourself more idiotic, if those are the only two topics that you define as being "progress" than you're ignorant to other topics that fall under the same category.
-
then what do you consider social progress outside of women's rights and lgbt rights?

Edited by DeadSoul103: 6/14/2015 1:00:09 AMSocial progress isn't solemnly based off of the perspective of one's personal opinion of "progress", social progress can also be achieved through economical developments which would encourage a population to become more aware about their health, education, etc. Like I precious mentioned towards Commando, things such as large scaled sustainable developments do all of this by encouraging people to walk more, rely less on vehicles, reducing air pollution, and overall affecting a population's health and life expectency. Texas has plenty of projects that encourage sustainability. Urban villages affect an urban population drastically, this also assist on closing in on economic segregation located in cities. The issues you're focusing on make up a small perimeter of the whole shape of social progress. Health and sustainability also contribute towards social progress.

i don't think you know what "social" means in this context.

Read the social progress index. What you view is an extremely minscule portion of the whole topic.

By the way, your lacking of knowledge on the range of issues in social progress is a bit astonishing. If you are actually advocating for social progress and favor it, you need to be informed of the whole horizon, not just what you view (the topics you take to heart). I provided you with a definition and a legitimate source that indicates social progress on an international scale.
-
so you don't think that equal treatment under the law isn't the foundation of social progress?
-
Edited by DeadSoul103: 6/14/2015 1:46:21 AMThat doesn't make up the whole picture. I never stated that doesn't make up any portion of it. Nor did I dismiss the idea of it not being the foundation.
-
yet you dismissed equal treatment under the law as unimportant in response to my original post.
-
I never dismissed it, as I previously stated, that isn't the only thing related to social progress.
-
Your view on social progress focuses primarily on issues that you take to heart. I'm stating that sustainability is also part of social progress, which the states is prospering on.
-
[quote]Your view on social progress focuses primarily on issues that you take to heart.[/quote]yeah, like equal treatment under the law. what a crazy idea.

Edited by DeadSoul103: 6/14/2015 1:05:02 AMSustainable projects include people of differing wealths, economic segregation is a social issue

Social progress is the idea that societies can or do improve in terms of their social, political, and economic structures. This may happen as a result of direct human action, as in social enterprise or through social activism, or as a natural part of sociocultural evolution.
