I actually like the US, despite all the BS :-) The only reason I would not wish to live there is because there are no freedoms - that is a fallacy.I simply couldn't live in USA. In my opinion, it's a fucked-up country. Charming at times, lots of enthusiasm and stuff - but oh - the violence, the hypocrisy, the go-fuck-yourself mentality that permeates the whole society.
On violence.. yea.. far more than I suspect the average "citizen" thinks from a load of govt stats.
I have a friend (called "X") in the US who swears by a gun (or two!) - it is just "necessary" since you have to assume the "other guy" has one. X is involved in "law" in the US and it is now expected when we speak on the phone that guns were drawn at least once a week - this can range from stupid kids holding up stores to X's car being sprayed by automatic fire.
It is rare for press reports, but sometimes, there are other reasons why reporting is not "desireable" at that time. In 19 years, three of X's partners have been "downed" - it may be for selfish reasons, by I'd like to see X well out of that world, but it is a world X thinks is "normal"!! Stupid Hollywood movies ain't a patch on this

You right.. many folks in the US don't ever come across shit. I don't live in the US now, but I have known folks to be shot (not fatally) and they were neither poor or "asking for it"I'm 34 and never known a damned person that was shot. Don't hang out with poor stupid people. It's a lethal combination. They WILL get you killed.

Gun made easy..Originally posted by Gemini
If I was Bush I whould say to the nation(lol), no more guns people, we need to learn karate..
I live with a very skilled martial artist... but Bruce Lee said it way back, a 357 cancels Karate or something like that. I'm female, in my 40's and oops, a trained machinist and now I know how to mix the things to make gunpowder...
Problem being is that you don't NEED to buy a gun, you can make one very easily incuding the bullets. You can make a blade from almost anything...
But Bush etc could cry all he wants and not all guns would ever make it to the melters. More would simply be smuggled in as would more small machine shops see a great way to make monies.
Look up the murder rates per capita for Brazilian cites or the lesser Antilles Islands and many other places in the World. Look at the actual number PER 100.000 peoples. Thats not just for guns but for ALL murder rates. Too many like to point out the murder by gun while they ignore the cars that are intentionally ran over people, poisons, knives. simple trash bags over someones head that is passed out etc etc etc.
Did you notice that other countries such as (in example Iraq) that when they said Oh yeah TURN IN YOUR GUNS... did they? Nope. Seems that only the Ozzies did for the most part but I wouldn't care to bet that more were held back than is known there.

Sweeden has a population of roughly nine million people; The city of Phoenix has almost as many people here. More children die in Phoenix every day from drownings in pools, but yet I don't see a movement to outlaw pools.
The reason why Sweeden has no shootings is rather simple. Sweeden is the size of California yet has only 1/1000th of a population; You fuckers can't find each other to take shots at each other.Herschel Savage

Why should nuclear bombs be illegal, then? Less people die of nuclear explosions than in pools. Why should heroin be illegal? Why should terrorism be illegal? Less people die of terrorism than heart disease. Why should anything be illegal if you're basing it strictly on the number of deaths?
The point is that guns are made to kill people. That's why some people think they should be illegal.
Comparing them to swimming pools isn't a good argument.Last edited by Mr.Fiction; 08-02-2003, 05:38 PM.Comment

soemthing nobody has pointed out yet, but generally makes for some good controversy.
in most states that have allowed concealed carry (or worse yet.. i believe essentially unregulated concealed carry), crime rate has actually gone DOWN. they were thinking about legalizing it here, but i guess it got shot down. it's funny though, i remember seeing editorial cartoons and stuff on the matter, basically depicting everyone shooting everyone. it's just not the case, and your basic run-of-the mill propoganda. especially in a part of the country like this. people are a lot less likely to pull a gun to rob a convenience store with 5 people in it, when those 5 people might be packing heat. and legitimate, legally licensed concealed carry operators don't go through that process so they can go shoot up a local shopping mall.
it's kinda like the speed limit laws. every time the speed increases, everyone bitches that 10 billion more people will die a year. it's not the case, even in states that have abolished speed limits. hell, some of you easterners might be shocked to know they let us drive 75 on the interstate.
i could be wrong on this, it's been a while since i looked up the laws. but last i knew, it was perfectly legal in this area to carry around a loaded firearm.... as long as it's in plain view. you can't take it into banks, schools or gov't buildings of course, but you could walk down the street with a .45 on your belt and there's nothing anyone could do. you'd probably catch a lot of funny looks and some harassment by the police, but it's legal.<a href="http://www.iroc409.com/"><img src="http://www.iroc409.com/adv/120x60.gif" border=0></a>

I can understand why Americans need weapons. The police shoots first and ask questions later. (so its better to be the one who shoots first). They can't trust their own government so that they have to protect themself. Most crimals have a weapon so that everyone needs one to protect themself.
But thats all cool with me. I don't care if they need a weapon or not. Their is only one thing I really hate about Americans. (most of them) They think that their country is the best one. They only know Mexico and Canada and were never in Europe (except maybe in Paris or England). But thats what they learn as children. Everywhere they go someone tells them how good their life is. For example Bush says in every speech that they have a good life. In school everyday they have to stand up and sing a little song to their flag. They never have a chance to think on their own...<a href="http://www.nastydollars.com/?wm_refer=revshare9432">

how many dies every year here by murderer?
About 150+-
8.8 million people live here..

And your wrong about Americans. Americans don't think our country is better than any other country; We just don't understand the concept that other countries exist. I can drive for four days straight and still be in the US; I can drive for four hours in Europe and visit six different countries.
At the same time, name one other country that has the size, population, wealth, knowledge, armed forces, and economic might the US has.

I actually like the US, despite all the BS :-) The only reason I would not wish to live there is because there are no freedoms - that is a fallacy.
Of course, in the past two centuries what people call "freedom" has spread over much of the globe. While in 1790 there were less representative governments than one could count on one hand, today there are five dozen or more. "Freedom", what one may term consensual government has spread so fast and furious that it makes little sense for Americans to speak of American freedom anymore. Though in the sense that it has a long unbroken tradition of such, it may still be said - though it will not by me.
I believe that the US and Switzerland are the only countries with an unbroken two hundred year long tradition of democracy. Interestingly, the Swiss constitution was influenced by the US constitution. Today the freedom that is enjoyed by Americans, Canadians, the Swiss, the Spanish, Austrians, Austalians, Jamaicans and Japanese is relatively similar.
Fallacy? No one is free. "Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains". Laws that are meant to protect one group of people actually diminish the freedom of others. A great conundrum. However lawlessness is worst most of us would agree.

No. Because everyone is learning English and because there is less necessity. Someone living in Nebraska can travel more than a thousand miles and still be in the US and only have to speak English the whole way. The only difference is they will have to learn to say "soda" for "pop" as they leave the Mid West and "Y'all" for "you all" in the South.Originally posted by Maru

I know, I know - because you don't care a fuck.
Someone living in Budapest has more than 20 countries within 1000 miles of them. Since not all Austrians know Hungarian, it becomes rather necessary to learn other languages if one wishes to travel even that short distance. The distance between the capitals of those countries is less than a few hundred miles. The US is vast and relatively isolated.

I'll go hunting with a shot gun... But a handgun is not for me.. I have to much of a temper, I will shoot someone if I carry a gun around with me..
I can dig people having guns for sporting shit, but not as "Protection" while they drive around n shit.. In your home is different.. But in a car, anything can happen..
And as they say with Murphys law, Things that can go wrong will go wrong!.... So lets say you got your Para Ordinance in your trunk, you go into the movie theater, some fuckstick steals your ride, Your car is gone, and your gun is gone, now someone is prolly gonna robb a store with that gun and kill people, and your gonna have to deal with the questions of where did the gun go, are you sure, are you lying type shit...

Americans have guns because:
1. 1776 might need to happen again one day. 300 Million guns constantly remind the powers that be in Washington DC that the real military power in the US is with the citizens themselves ultimately. Just in case they ever truly forget who they work for.
2. The average police response time in most metropolitan cities is about 8 minutes. So if you have a serious problem going down with a bad guy, you're on your own in reality. You need to be prepared for anything, because eventually anything will happen one day.
I keep 7 different defense / protection systems around me and ready to go at home and 4 systems ready when I'm mobile. And I am always in alert mode.

If you consider you have freedoms and privacy - fine! That's what the deadening effect of CNN does after some years.
The US has less freedoms and privacy than *any* country in the western world. I assume you are aware, almost everything you do is recorded somewhere. This ranges from the mail delivered via USPC, which is more than just the "mailman" to your lack of freedom to travel and live elsewhere in the world without accounting for your "status" to the IRS - Despite you may never earn one dime in the US and live in another country, they still want that tax filing and some dollars.
The US has more laws and incarcerations than *any* "civilized" nation - that's freedom!
The list is too long for GFY unless they are some gigs spare. I have no doubts I am grateful I was never born a "citizen" of the US - it is a liability personally and globally.
I hear ya about "my idea of freedom" - maybe others have more than this and value it - It all depends on which rut your are in.
