 "Laquanda Pittman" and "Shakita Walker's" kids shooting each other over 'beef' doesnt exactly make for the kind of school shooting story the media loves.

 If they were white kids using legally purchased guns the story might have legs but this one is going nowhere... especially if it's true that an armed school officer disarmed the shooter.

3 days after the Sandy Hook Shooting in Oregon Jacob Roberts used an AR-15 to terrorize the local mall and kill two people and injure one other.  Just over a week after Sandy Hook, William Spengler murdered two people and injured another two with a Bushmaster Rifle.  These two incidents wee within a week after Sandy Hook, I am use of you look you will easily find some more considering how many people are murdered in America every day.

That's nice to know, unfortunately other people also own Bushmasters, like the people who used them to shoot other people.  My car has never killed anybody, but I don't pretend other people aren't killed by them and that their should be little to no regulation on cars to encourage security and safety.

I don't particularly care about America, my concern has always been with special interest groups who hijack society and hold them hostage with their sick agendas, this wouldn't be so bad if innocent people weren't being murdered due to their special interests, but that's not the case.  In Australia, we have been fortunate to keep these special interest groups at bay, but one has to remain vigilant against these tyrants, they are not comprised of normal individuals and holding them at bay is an ongoing quest!  And unfortunately, here in Australia, they follow the lead of these sick American special interest groups, using all the same propaganda and lies, it just doesn't have the same impact because the average Australian punter is more enlightened than the American equivalent.

Has nothing to do with what I typed. And it's extremely rare these rifles are used in murders.

Millions and Millions of AR15s in public hands and three cases of them being used and people act like it's the rule and not the exception.

BULL-FUCKING-SHIT you're obsessed with America and guns. And the fucking irony of you claiming to hate special interest groups and holding people hostage with their agendas , and you have not uttered ONE FUCKING WORD about the anti-gun special interest group who is attempting to usurp the Constitution of the United Sates

you LOVE special interest groups when they spout your warp political ideology especially seeing you don't even reside in this country. And stop acting like you care one iota about any of the murdered children you already said you don't. You have a fear of Pitbulls because you were attacked , that I could get but your irrational fear of guns is based on your warped perception of what you think others need or deserve. And it's based off of nothing other than lies repeated by the anti-gun special interest group.

Quote
 In Australia, we have been fortunate to keep these special interest groups at bay, but one has to remain vigilant against these tyrants, they are not comprised of normal individuals and holding them at bay is an ongoing quest!

This isn't Australia , our problems are wholly unique. Your ' solution ' is not our solution. The only tyrants are the ones demanding you turn in your guns like in your country.

The average Australia is a fucking idiot compare to the average American when you consider they turned in their guns like sheep , because some anti-gun politician decided you and your guns may be a murderer in the near future.

Another emotional meltdown by a crazy gun nutter who is obsessed with Guns.  The simple fact is, a citizen has a universal human right to safety and security, you think you are ensuring that by owning a gun when in fact you are multiplying the risk factor ten fold, the more guns in the community, the more people will be injured and killed by guns, this is simple fact and mathematics, you can dance around it all night with your clichés, lies and propaganda, but it is the truth.  In a civilised society, A gun nutters desire to own a gun, when participated in by millions of people, increases the chances of both you and I being the victim of gun crime, not lessens it.

And a group dedicated to upholding the Universal Human Right to Safety and Security is not a special Interest group, they are merely attempting to enforce their rights as a human being.  I don't see anywhere in the The Universal Declaration of Human Rights about the right for citizens to bear arms, and for me The Universal Declaration of Human Rights trumps any Nutjob constitution written by some slave traders to keep the Negroes in line.

Abortion alone cuts down on more gun violence than any single measure ever implemented.  More Abortions, less gun violence and violence in the future.  How could anybody be against this?  Plus its less strain on all economic and resource systems.

Anyone who is Pro-Life should have to pay for the Unwanted Babies and Pregnancies to term and give the Pro-Choice the option out of paying any of it.

You know for the longest time I was against abortion, but you make valid points and I have been slowly more in favor of abortion, simply because I see the people who do get abortions...It is never people who are contributing members to society.  I also believe anyone on Welfare should have 3 months to get off welfare while pregnant or be forced to have a mandatory abortion

I've seen some of the craziest shit lately, I was driving through a low income/section 8 neighborhood and this little two year old darted for the busy street.  I slammed by brakes on, the kid stopped just in time.  His gigantic mom ran out finally, grabbed him by the arm and started beating him.   ::)

Another emotional meltdown by a crazy gun nutter who is obsessed with Guns.  The simple fact is, a citizen has a universal human right to safety and security, you think you are ensuring that by owning a gun when in fact you are multiplying the risk factor ten fold, the more guns in the community, the more people will be injured and killed by guns, this is simple fact and mathematics, you can dance around it all night with your clichés, lies and propaganda, but it is the truth.  In a civilised society, A gun nutters desire to own a gun, when participated in by millions of people, increases the chances of both you and I being the victim of gun crime, not lessens it.

And a group dedicated to upholding the Universal Human Right to Safety and Security is not a special Interest group, they are merely attempting to enforce their rights as a human being.  I don't see anywhere in the The Universal Declaration of Human Rights about the right for citizens to bear arms, and for me The Universal Declaration of Human Rights trumps any Nutjob constitution written by some slave traders to keep the Negroes in line.

You just played your hand right here , whenever someone confronts you with facts you attack them personally , ad hominem attacks is all you have left because you were outed for being a hypocrite when screaming about special interest groups and you haven't uttered a word about the anti-gun special interest groups trying their hardest to usurp the Constitution.

And anything that can be asserted without facts can be dismissed without them as well. I can prove that more guns doesn't mean more violence can you prove they do? of course not because if you could you would have instead of just making the assertion.

You are so full of shit, you cannot prove that more guns = less violence.  This is what is absolutely insane about Gun Nutters, they simply don't understand basic mathematics.  If there is say 100 swimming pools in a small community of 10000 residents. And every year for 10 years 1 person drowns and dies in the pool, so over the course of 10 years, ten people drowned and died.  So, based on the law of averages you have a 1% fatality rate, now if everyone in that community gets a pool, you now have one hundred people dying per year, all based on an increase in pool ownership. The amount of fatalities is know 100 times greater than when it was when only a few people owned a pool. This simple equation applies with anything that cause fatalities, including guns.  More Guns equals MORE VIOLENCE and DEATH!

You guys live in some utopian modern day wild west fantasy world where every one carries a gun and the good guys always win the shoot out.  Dream on.  The fact remains, children will continue getting murdered by guns at embarrassing rates compared to the rest of the civilised industrialised world, Gun Nutters will continue to masturbate while holding their guns, and sociopathic Special interest groups like the NRA will continue to hold every one hostage, man woman and child.

And suggesting others are immoral because others don't want to be murdered by a gun because you want one is the most absurd thing I have ever heard.  This is why they call you guys NUTTERS.  The sad thing is, you fail to understand, the very thing you claim affords you some type of security is the very thing that robs other citizens of theirs.  I think it is highly IMMORAL to suggest that you should be able to own something that dramatically increase my chances of being murdered or injured.  Outright sociopathic in FACT!

I dont know the numbers, but the fact that its actually systematic and spread nationally should be mildly alarming.  Notice violence in general (be it of any nature) is a problem world wide, nothing new here, what calls my attention the most is that this particular type of violence is exacerbated with guns, irrational shooting to groups of people (its easier to mass murder with a gun than with say, a bat). Im not talking about hate crimes, nor organized criminals, no, shooting kids, shooting Uni students, shooting people at the fucking movies, do you not see how particular your situation is compared to other type of violence (for example, drug related?) This is violence qua violence, made easy because of lax gun legislation and poor social awareness and responsibility.

Statistic for a "shitty" country like mine were released yesterday (www.emol.cl), all forms of violent crime have diminished, no chang ein gun control regulation.  Also, I am sick and tired of reading this "people´s rights" argument, you just dont understand that rights can and do change across the world.  Rights have an ethical grounding, and if you value more the right to own guns without the actual duty of education and responsibility, than social safety and peace well, you are free to be unreasonable.

Prove it , don't assert it. And nonsense

Fifty-five million kids went to school on the day that 20 were massacred at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Even in the United States, therefore, the chances of a child’s dying in a school shooting are remote. As my friend Steven Pinker demonstrates in his monumental study of human violence, The Better Angels of Our Nature, our perception of danger is easily distorted by rare events. Is gun violence increasing in the United States? No. But it certainly seems to be when one recalls recent atrocities in Newtown and Aurora. In fact, the overall rate of violent crime has fallen by 22 percent in the past decade (and 18 percent in the past five years).

300 million guns and the overall rate of violent crimes has FALLEN by 22 percent in the past 10 years , proof positive more guns does NOT mean more violence.  ;)

The NRA isn't shooting kids , keep blaming everyone and everything besides the lunatics who commit these atrocities.

It is an essential right because its in the bill of rights, which in turn has brooded in your folk a cultural legacy of gun-love.  When the folk themselves open their eyes and see that violence only brings more violence (and your kids pay with their life for it) you will be willing to ammend the constitution, just like almost every other country has done, changing constitutions to reflect the ethical imperatives of the time.  Until then, yes, you are completely free to suck the cock of the NRA and buy all the toys you want, I am not saying that you cant, I am saying that you SHOULDNT.

(And all illegal guns should be confiscated and all legal owners should take new, much harsher psychological tests followed by public education and awareness campaigns, in schools, in workplaces, everywhere.)

Your nuttiness is right up there, to describe the regular inevitable mass shootings in America as RARE is absolutely INSANE.  Proof positive that you are truly of your rocker.  For a mass shooting to happen anywhere here in Australia is RARE, let alone at a school, and we haven't had a mass shooting for over 16 years.  You have the worst gun homicide and serious injury rate of all the Industrialised nations, that's because you have millions of gun owners, this is simple maths, of course unless your a semi literate gun owner of course.  I could post charts and statistics until the cows come home on this one simple fact, but to even argue that Americas homicide rate is way out of control, is a form on incredible denial and insanity, and I will not continue to enable ludicrousness.

The NRA may not be shooting KIDS, but they sure have enabled and promoted an environment were it is inevitable for these shootings to happen.   Hitler never personally killed anybody, but nobody would argue that he wasn't responsible for unimaginable suffering and death.  If you promote an ideology that leads to unnecessary homicide, the people are going to hold you to account.  For you to take some twisted moral high-ground that you have a right to continue enabling this very environment that sees many innocent people unnecessarily die is really perverse, it truly is reminiscent of the NAZIS blaming the JEWS for their own demise.
Title: Re: BREAKING NEWS - Atlanta Middle School Shooting

^^^^^ More Gun Nutter propaganda.

A more realistic look......

On April 28, 1996, a gunman opened fire on tourists in a seaside resort in Port Arthur, Tasmania. By the time he was finished, he had killed 35 people and wounded 23 more. It was the worst mass murder in Australia’s history.

Twelve days later, Australia’s government did something remarkable. Led by newly elected conservative Prime Minister John Howard, it announced a bipartisan deal with state and local governments to enact sweeping gun-control measures. A decade and a half hence, the results of these policy changes are clear: They worked really, really well.

At the heart of the push was a massive buyback of more than 600,000 semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, or about one-fifth of all firearms in circulation in Australia. The country’s new gun laws prohibited private sales, required that all weapons be individually registered to their owners, and required that gun buyers present a “genuine reason” for needing each weapon at the time of the purchase. (Self-defense did not count.) In the wake of the tragedy, polls showed public support for these measures at upwards of 90 percent.

What happened next has been the subject of several academic studies. Violent crime and gun-related deaths did not come to an end in Australia, of course. But as the Washington Post’s Wonkblog pointed out in August, homicides by firearm plunged 59 percent between 1995 and 2006, with no corresponding increase in non-firearm-related homicides. The drop in suicides by gun was even steeper: 65 percent. Studies found a close correlation between the sharp declines and the gun buybacks. Robberies involving a firearm also dropped significantly. Meanwhile, home invasions did not increase, contrary to fears that firearm ownership is needed to deter such crimes. But here’s the most stunning statistic. In the decade before the Port Arthur massacre, there had been 11 mass shootings in the country. There hasn’t been a single one in Australia since.

There have been some contrarian studies about the decrease in gun violence in Australia, including a 2006 paper that argued the decline in gun-related homicides after Port Arthur was simply a continuation of trends already under way. But that paper’s methodology has been discredited, which is not surprising when you consider that its authors were affiliated with pro-gun groups. Other reports from gun advocates have similarly cherry-picked anecdotal evidence or presented outright fabrications in attempting to make the case that Australia’s more-restrictive laws didn’t work. Those are effectively refuted by findings from peer-reviewed papers, which note that the rate of decrease in gun-related deaths more than doubled following the gun buyback, and that states with the highest buyback rates showed the steepest declines. A 2011 Harvard summary of the research concluded that, at the time the laws were passed in 1996, “it would have been difficult to imagine more compelling future evidence of a beneficial effect.”

Whether the same policies would work as well in the United States—or whether similar legislation would have any chance of being passed here in the first place—is an open question. Howard, the conservative leader behind the Australian reforms, wrote an op-ed in an Australian paper after visiting the United States in the wake of the Aurora shootings. He came away convinced that America needed to change its gun laws, but lamented its lack of will to do so.

There is more to this than merely the lobbying strength of the National Rifle Association and the proximity of the November presidential election. It is hard to believe that their reaction would have been any different if the murders in Aurora had taken place immediately after the election of either Obama or Romney. So deeply embedded is the gun culture of the US, that millions of law-abiding, Americans truly believe that it is safer to own a gun, based on the chilling logic that because there are so many guns in circulation, one's own weapon is needed for self-protection. To put it another way, the situation is so far gone there can be no turning back.

That’s certainly how things looked after the Aurora shooting. But after Sandy Hook, with the nation shocked and groping for answers once again, I wonder if Americans are still so sure that we have nothing to learn from Australia’s example.

Your natural reaction (natural as, say, your "bodybuilding" status) would be to shoot em all, this I know because you have the "fight fire with fire" mentality.

What you should do if you had a more reasonable thinking would be to call the cops and avoid spreading exacerbated violence.  Now, dont get me wrong, I can see that in the current situation its very hard to act reasonably, this is why the government (whichever) is the first step to solving this insanity.

Your nuttiness is right up there, to describe the regular inevitable mass shootings in America as RARE is absolutely INSANE.  Proof positive that you are truly of your rocker.  For a mass shooting to happen anywhere here in Australia is RARE, let alone at a school, and we haven't had a mass shooting for over 16 years.  You have the worst gun homicide and serious injury rate of all the Industrialised nations, that's because you have millions of gun owners, this is simple maths, of course unless your a semi literate gun owner of course.  I could post charts and statistics until the cows come home on this one simple fact, but to even argue that Americas homicide rate is way out of control, is a form on incredible denial and insanity, and I will not continue to enable ludicrousness.

The NRA may not be shooting KIDS, but they sure have enabled and promoted an environment were it is inevitable for these shootings to happen.   Hitler never personally killed anybody, but nobody would argue that he wasn't responsible for unimaginable suffering and death.  If you promote an ideology that leads to unnecessary homicide, the people are going to hold you to account.  For you to take some twisted moral high-ground that you have a right to continue enabling this very environment that sees many innocent people unnecessarily die is really perverse, it truly is reminiscent of the NAZIS blaming the JEWS for their own demise.

Mass shootings in America are exceedingly rare , regardless of what you type and don't even constitute the majority of deaths by firearms. It's only your perception of these types of events that's warped and I can always correct that with facts  ;)

Seventy mass shootings have occurred in the U.S. since 1982, leaving 543 dead. These crimes were horrific, but 564,452 other homicides took place in the U.S. during the same period. Mass shootings scarcely represent 0.1 percent of all murders. When talking about the problem of guns in our society, it is easy to lose sight of the worst violence and to become fixated on symbols of violence.

0.1% , I will type that again for our mentally challenged friends. ZERO-POINT-ONE% no matter what you type I will NOT let you escape facts  ;)

I said mass shootings are rare , not that our rate isn't high , stick to facts and stop responding to points no one if making. Two others rates of homicide are even higher and you are NOT complaining one bit , you're only harping on America, Three you don't fucking care one bit about any of the victims ( you've admitted this ) so you're only here to spew your anti-American/anti-gun bullshit out of not compassion but fear and some narcissistic belief that we should be and want to be like you and your country.

More anti-gun lobby bullshit , the NRA has never taken a position where they wanted criminals to have access to firearms , you're a liar. You can't even argue with any integrity , you can't formulate a rational argument because you're to emotional , you don't even live in this country , you don't even care about one single fucking victim of gun violence , this alone makes you despicable.

You're an immoral person who wants to take firearms away from law-abiding citizens and make it easier for mass murderers to rack up the counts. And Godwin's laws LMFAO it didn't take you long did it? You really need to learn how to form an argument because you're getting exposed for what you are , an overly emotion damaged adult with an irrational fear of guns obsessing over policies in another country while tying to act like you care about the great man when in fact you already said you didn't care one bit for any of the children who died , you're a despicable human when you use the bodies of 20 dead children to further your anti-gun agenda.

Your natural reaction (natural as, say, your "bodybuilding" status) would be to shoot em all, this I know because you have the "fight fire with fire" mentality.

What you should do if you had a more reasonable thinking would be to call the cops and avoid spreading exacerbated violence.  Now, dont get me wrong, I can see that in the current situation its very hard to act reasonably, this is why the government (whichever) is the first step to solving this insanity.


Call the cops? that's no solution at all , it took the police TWENTY fucking minutes to respond from first getting the call at Sandy Hook , think about that 20 minutes that's astonishing. And it's asinine to wait for the police , who might I remind people are under NO legal right to respond to your call according to the supreme court ruling.


The reasonable thing to do is to be proactive and protect your family to suggest anyone is wrong for trying to do this is immoral and flat-out wrong. You don't want to do that , knock yourself out , however to suggest no one should you're high. Anyone who has the audacity to invade your home is crossing a grave line and should be dealt with accordingly.

If you have followed the posts Ive made before this one, youd understand that I dont think you should go to jail for self-defense, nor that you are acting morally wrong on all accounts.  For the greater good of society, yes, people need to stop with the fight fire with fire idiocy.  Then again, as I posted before and will again, its in the hands of the government to confiscate illegal weapons and in the hands of the experts to draft a sane gun law, first step to a reformulation.  I understand what self-defense and acting-by-need is, but from each and every post Ive read in the hundreds of posts, you people dont think guns are a last resort or "acting by needs", you worship them and that delusion that the second ammendment is TRU FREEDZOMSSS.

If you could change the switch yourselves the next generation of kids would not pay by blood.

Also, theres different types of violence, each dealt in different ways (for example, violence in the masses -mass conducts-, violence related to drug crimes, violence related to power disputes, etc), the fact that you deny that this systematic irrational mass murdering, A PARTICULAR TYPE OF VIOLENCE, is a problem is hilarious.

^^^^^ More Gun Nutter propaganda.

A more realistic look......

On April 28, 1996, a gunman opened fire on tourists in a seaside resort in Port Arthur, Tasmania. By the time he was finished, he had killed 35 people and wounded 23 more. It was the worst mass murder in Australia’s history.

Twelve days later, Australia’s government did something remarkable. Led by newly elected conservative Prime Minister John Howard, it announced a bipartisan deal with state and local governments to enact sweeping gun-control measures. A decade and a half hence, the results of these policy changes are clear: They worked really, really well.

At the heart of the push was a massive buyback of more than 600,000 semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, or about one-fifth of all firearms in circulation in Australia. The country’s new gun laws prohibited private sales, required that all weapons be individually registered to their owners, and required that gun buyers present a “genuine reason” for needing each weapon at the time of the purchase. (Self-defense did not count.) In the wake of the tragedy, polls showed public support for these measures at upwards of 90 percent.

What happened next has been the subject of several academic studies. Violent crime and gun-related deaths did not come to an end in Australia, of course. But as the Washington Post’s Wonkblog pointed out in August, homicides by firearm plunged 59 percent between 1995 and 2006, with no corresponding increase in non-firearm-related homicides. The drop in suicides by gun was even steeper: 65 percent. Studies found a close correlation between the sharp declines and the gun buybacks. Robberies involving a firearm also dropped significantly. Meanwhile, home invasions did not increase, contrary to fears that firearm ownership is needed to deter such crimes. But here’s the most stunning statistic. In the decade before the Port Arthur massacre, there had been 11 mass shootings in the country. There hasn’t been a single one in Australia since.

There have been some contrarian studies about the decrease in gun violence in Australia, including a 2006 paper that argued the decline in gun-related homicides after Port Arthur was simply a continuation of trends already under way. But that paper’s methodology has been discredited, which is not surprising when you consider that its authors were affiliated with pro-gun groups. Other reports from gun advocates have similarly cherry-picked anecdotal evidence or presented outright fabrications in attempting to make the case that Australia’s more-restrictive laws didn’t work. Those are effectively refuted by findings from peer-reviewed papers, which note that the rate of decrease in gun-related deaths more than doubled following the gun buyback, and that states with the highest buyback rates showed the steepest declines. A 2011 Harvard summary of the research concluded that, at the time the laws were passed in 1996, “it would have been difficult to imagine more compelling future evidence of a beneficial effect.”

Whether the same policies would work as well in the United States—or whether similar legislation would have any chance of being passed here in the first place—is an open question. Howard, the conservative leader behind the Australian reforms, wrote an op-ed in an Australian paper after visiting the United States in the wake of the Aurora shootings. He came away convinced that America needed to change its gun laws, but lamented its lack of will to do so.

There is more to this than merely the lobbying strength of the National Rifle Association and the proximity of the November presidential election. It is hard to believe that their reaction would have been any different if the murders in Aurora had taken place immediately after the election of either Obama or Romney. So deeply embedded is the gun culture of the US, that millions of law-abiding, Americans truly believe that it is safer to own a gun, based on the chilling logic that because there are so many guns in circulation, one's own weapon is needed for self-protection. To put it another way, the situation is so far gone there can be no turning back.

That’s certainly how things looked after the Aurora shooting. But after Sandy Hook, with the nation shocked and groping for answers once again, I wonder if Americans are still so sure that we have nothing to learn from Australia’s example.

he said it right there. If a man speaks (and acts) the language of violence, then you cannot speak (and act) the language of peace.

Speak their language---sometimes if a person escalates the situation or comes at you in a violent manner, you must as well up the ante.
It's not about being a gun nutter, or wrapping oneself up in the second admendment.
Our culture has been born of violence---George Washington wasn't leading a prayer session against the British, particularly when they started ish (Boston Massacre). Violence begets violence, and so that is our history...someone "spoke" (and acted) the language of violence and then we up the ante, then we put things in writing, then we had a huge issue during the Wild West, then we hundreds of yrs later have a problem due to eff ups in our society who believe the answer to every dispute is death by the gun. And therein lies the problem.

To continue this argument, is to continue to go in circles--just like the "God" threads, or the repubs vs dems, or Dorian vs Ronnie.

13 little colonies were told, "either you do as I say, or we are going to come over their and eff you up! We will make you bend to our rules, and you will pay our taxes, no matter how high. You insolent little currs!"

You see what happens in effect is that it leads down a dark rabbit hole. Where only that one language is spoken, or only that voice is heard, or rather shouted.
Our society is out of balance, whether it be violence or other things. And that is where the focal point should be, the people, the eff ups, the thugs, the minions of wanton violence. Because if all they understand us violence, they in our society will be met with it. You take away their reasoning to use it, then you are effect helping to lower the problem.

Violence may have a place in terms of war, in terms of fighting for rights, rational violence (much like the Marxist war of the classes).  I can understand violence when it has a reason, a reason to fight for.  

Ive been very clear everytime I post that these IRRATIONAL SYSTEMATIC acts of violence obey to no logic, and thats what scary.  Now, if you dont consider them a potential threat, then this discussion between us is moot.  But, Ill state that IN MY CASE, I like living in this "shit hole" (coined by the lovely conehead resident fat powerlifter of the board) is good because this kind of irrational violence doesnt exist.  There, thats why I care and I like to debate this, so that maybe I can contribute to it not happenening here (that, and the fact that I like to argue).

Seemingly all "civil societies" tend to believe in violent behavior or actions, and only preach non-violent behavior to societies or cultures that either are their match ("there is no need to fight, we can work together") or to those that they have subjugated---because "how dare you practice violence upon us?"

I asked a simple fucking question and this is the answer I get?  ???

Again, "What if the nearest law enforcement officer is 20 miles away, somewhere on the other side of the county?  This is a reality MANY in the United States face.  The majority of the United States is rural you know."


I answered the question with the "state of necessity".  Now follow the rest of the post and give a mildly reasonable answer that isnt an ad baculum quote of some mildly relevant US politic of the revolution.

So wait, you are agreeing with me that violent societies can change? I think they can if they wanted to.
Keywords - if they wanted to (or are forced to, i.e. post-WWII Germany/Japan).

It can be modified, but as Shockwave pointed out, it will never go away.

And it won't happen overnight. And it won't happen in a Hope and Change way. A "civil society"...
Lol, The Egyptians thought themselves a "civil society", yet they enslaved the jews
The Romans thought themselves a "civil society" and they enslaved the Greeks, and others.

The Spanish thought themselves a "civil society", yet they subjugated the Mayan,Aztecs, and Incans, using "God" but it was for greed and gold.

Seemingly all "civil societies" tend to believe in violent behavior or actions, and only preach non-violent behavior to societies or cultures that either are their match ("there is no need to fight, we can work together") or to those that they have subjugated---because "how dare you practice violence upon us?"

Civil in terms of civil law, not in terms of civilized.  A state of law society cannot allow for internal violence.

Again, I acknowledge its exists, but it has to be kept to the minimum necessary, keyword, necessary.

I think he's saying that they can, using Europe as an example. I don't know how good of an example Germany is, because they didn't change until they got their ass handed to them and were FORCED to change.
Sooo, basically the US needs a spanking (and sent to the corner) and forced to change?

But again, theres tons of americant that want to actually change it...I think its more polarized than you think, or youre just reluctant to accept that people can change, and ideas do move the world.  Im not saying it would be fast, but still.

No, if you have followed my posts Ive stated time and time again thats its you that will decide, nobody will for you, and then again, if you dont want to, its your children that are getting slaughtered, not mine.

So what if you think that violence has it's place, but that it's not ok for kids to be getting killed? I think, considering the percentage of kids that get killed in mass shootings (no where near even a percentage point), that it's a fucking stupid argument. Just my .02.

Everyone is acting like their kids can't go to school because they're going to get shot up by some crazy, when you're probably more likely to get struck by lighting while getting raped by an aids ridden black man than you are of knowing a kid that got shot in school.

Fifty-five million kids went to school on the day that 20 were massacred at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Even in the United States, therefore, the chances of a child’s dying in a school shooting are remote. As my friend Steven Pinker demonstrates in his monumental study of human violence, The Better Angels of Our Nature, our perception of danger is easily distorted by rare events. Is gun violence increasing in the United States? No. But it certainly seems to be when one recalls recent atrocities in Newtown and Aurora. In fact, the overall rate of violent crime has fallen by 22 percent in the past decade (and 18 percent in the past five years).

This describes the problem to a T

Violence as a whole? Good

Systematic Mass Murdering? Not quite, stop pretending.

Also, it feels so damn good to be talking about these issues through the interwebs and not having a single thread of fear of them happening, remote is more than too much of a chance when I think about it, but good for you that "violent" mass shooting is "remote" for you.

Whose pretending? You can't control these events , you can't stop them. Deranged people hell bent in killing large number of people CAN NOT be stopped because of the simple fact is no one knows where or when they will strike.

And NO violent mass shootings aren't remote for me , they are remote period. It's a fact regardless of you like it or not. Don't shoot the messenger , pun intended.

Lol yes you can, thats the whole point of social awareness, campaigns in school, at work, in TV, etc (think responsible sex campaings, anti-tabacco propaganda, dont drink and drive, etc).  In fact, thats the whole point of EDUCATION, now if youre THAT stubborn that you dont believe education can change the veiws of the people, well, then we are forever condemned to never change anything.  Also, thats the point of confiscation and strict laws, but Ive already posted this 1000 times in past posts which you of course didnt read.

Anyhow, Im out for today, had a good time, Ill try and continue this dialogue tomorrow.  So long, gentlemen.

Ill state that IN MY CASE, I like living in this "shit hole"  is good because this kind of irrational violence doesnt exist.

I have absulutly zero fear of being shot, the chances are just too minute.  What I do fear though (and rightly so according to world history) is living in a society where the average man doesn't possess firearms.  Especially considering the United States is one of the last safe havens of gun ownership in the world.

Gun ownership is extremely high in my state, I believe we have the highest CCW in the US.  I don't know one person that's been shot ever. Do any American getbiggers personally know of an innocent person that's been killed by a gun?  I'd also bet that my state has a lower crime rate than yours.  Mass shootings are extremely concerning, but they certainly don't warrant taking away peoples essential rights.

It's ludicrous that you assume the United States is like the old west based on isolated incidences.

Violence may have a place in terms of war, in terms of fighting for rights, rational violence (much like the Marxist war of the classes).  I can understand violence when it has a reason, a reason to fight for.  

Ive been very clear everytime I post that these IRRATIONAL SYSTEMATIC acts of violence obey to no logic, and thats what scary.  Now, if you dont consider them a potential threat, then this discussion between us is moot.  But, Ill state that IN MY CASE, I like living in this "shit hole" (coined by the lovely conehead resident fat powerlifter of the board) is good because this kind of irrational violence doesnt exist.  There, thats why I care and I like to debate this, so that maybe I can contribute to it not happenening here (that, and the fact that I like to argue).
Don't you live in Brazil?

When the Democratic Governor of Montana claims that any Federal government ban on the right to bear arms will not take hold in his State or when the Republican Governor of Texas says that there are sections of the Obamacare law that will not hit the ground in his State, they are not espousing a new, radical and revolutionary theory of American self-governance. They are speaking from an over 200 year history that traces its roots back to the Founding of our great nation and codified by the pens of none other than Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. They are the kernels of the coming restoration of America.

Do we agree that the US in terms of social security is fucked up?

If you're referring to the fact that we're moving towards more socialistic policies aimed at redistribution of wealth, than yes... We do agree.

When legal immigration outnumbers so many other countries combined, it doesn't make very much sense to mimic the economic policies of the countries they're fleeing.
