I'm not getting into a pissing match of my country is better than your country either, but what the US was founded on was a long time ago and as for the rest the same can be said of almost any western democracy.

That assumes that they are guilty to start with, we now know that many of them were just in the wrong place at the wrong time or were denounced by others after a reward. Sure some were Taliban or AQ but they were the minority. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

So was it only me that thought Helana Bonaham Carter was hot in Planet of the Apes? But no I don't fancy mrs Obama. I don't think she has a face like a ape or monkey (although she doesn't do herself any favours with her hair) Carla Bruni she ain't. Mmmm...

He's not had one or an ear piece in the interviews I've been watching of him, which have also been outside broadcasts with multi camera views. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I agree so far he has been a great statesman for his country in Europe. He is clearly intelligent and articulate and realises that the US has to work in the world community rather than try and rule it. Time will tell how he does in the US, its a crap job at a crap time. If he ca engage in dialouge with the east and rid the world of some nukes then thats a good start for us all.

REALLY? Thanks for mentioning it... As I already said, I was mostly interested in Christians and if you feel offended that I ignored you, feel free to do so. I'm not in the slightest bit offended, just pointing out that your options are very limited, also given your explaination your thread title is poorly chosen.

Some good ideas there, however I'm wondering just how many people in the poorer classes in the US actually finish highschool, but more than that I would be suprised if there was the will amoung the people to support such a foreard thinking initative. With Obama trying to make healthcare more available to the masses you'd think he was asking people to reduce their pay by half! Maybe part of the problem is that many people don't seem to care about the rest of society only about themselves. That said, I like your ideas and think that they would be a move in the right direction.

So you are happy with the level of violent crime in the US? If you are right and its not the guns then it is most likely the culture that leads to violent crime (Gun or otherwise) but hey if you're happy with that... I personally wouldn't be.

My question is what makes people have that tendency towards violence? I don't suppose that Americans are any more prone towards the tendency than any european nationality, yet it seems they act on the tendency more than europeans do (outside of a war scenario) I'm wondering why that is and how can it be changed?

Good points - as I said, I believe cultural differences play a large part. Gang violence and drug crime drive a lot of the shootings, I think - I recall a reference to some 60-70% but I don't know how accurate that is. I'd love to see the Brady folks explain how they can say guns cause crime when (legal) gun ownership is at an all time high and violent crime is at a (IIRC) 25 year low. We've spent the last 25 or so years raising a couple of generations of kids that have no respect for anything or anyone, while DEMANDING that *they* be respected...now we're reaping what we've sown, IMO. The Brady folks bleat about 'violent video games'... I think glorification of criminals in modern popular music and movies is a more likely source, if such things *do* have an effect. I think you're right. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Thanks, actually I'm not for banning personal firearms. But something celarly needs to be done. What needs to change is gun culture rather than the ownership. Its easy to say but difficult to do. I wonder what it is that is so different about US culture that makes people so ready to pick up a gun and shoot someone. It is that society there depicts people as successes or otherwise by the value of their assets? Is it that people are told that they need all kinds of matierial object to be happy? Is it the lack of ability to communicate effectivly? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Is that the murder rate or the the murder rate for murders with firearms? Even if it is for murder with firearms its a massive difference between. 2.4/100,000 and Washington DC... 30.4/100k.

I doubt it, do you have any evidence or is that your opinion? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Maybe President Obama could start a programme where the American people could hand in a firearm and get a balistic jacket in return. He's doing a grand job. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I don't get it, people here are always saying that if there are restrictions on firearms then the innocent would not be able to defend themselves. Yet in all the recent shootings in the US how come not one of them was stopped by a innocent member of the public carrying their firearm? It just doesn't happen, it seems more and more like a bullshit argument. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

A very Christian centric set of questins. What about I grew up in a non-christian but religious household and still believe. Just because people aren't Christians doesn't mean they stop believing in God when they grow up.
