Most shootings/homicides in the US are black on black.

Most white Americans go their whole life without being anywhere near a shooting let alone a homicide.

But most times someone goes on TV talking about prying their gun from their cold dead hands, it is white folk.

I don't know. Like I said, it just all seems so random. Like, why not fixate on pliers? Why not have huge groups of people who every day of their life are focused on the place pliers have in their society.

It's like DUDE, stop thinking about pliers so much.
 
Most mass slayings are committed by whitefolk, you hardly ever hear about nigger serial killers.

Actually, I can't think of any black serial killers, I think the negro race is overdue for one, no?

Oh and I'll bite: what part of the body are passionate white people stabbing each other most?

prolly the heart or stomach.
 
Oh yeah I remember the Atlanta guy. Wayne Williams or something like that?

There was a time I could have rattled off his stats for you. I went through a very dark phase at one point where I was fixated on serial killers. I was constantly reading about them - or watching various Bill Kurtis shows. I knew their details inside out.

As I recall the Atlanta guy was quite prolific. I think he killed over 30 (??)

I used to get pissed off if people's fame was out of proportion with the amount of killing they did. The worst case was Charles Manson who is very famous but never killed anyone.

Not that I mind him being in jail but it never seemed right to me. He suggested to people that they kill - and they did it - and so he has to spend his whole life in jail? Shouldn't that be on them?

His mistake was telling the wrong people. If he told me to kill people I would have just said, "Pfft. No."

He might not have liked it at the time but he'd still be running around free. :light:

No half measures to my sarcasm. That was full sarcasm.

There is pretty good reason to be more scared of guns in the US than most of the civilized world. The comparative statistics are staggering. At least compared to Canada, UK, Sweden etc etc. I don't know about Mexico and Laos. Guess it could be looked up.

In any case, the idea of being constantly afraid of whizzing bullets is taking it to an extreme.

It is striking how goofy Americans are about guns though. Just going about my normal day-to-day, I could probably go the rest of my life without thinking about a gun. But it seems like it is the central life's focus of many Americans.

Guns. :dunno:

Such a ridiculous obscure thing to think about so much (or so it seems to me).

I have lived in several areas all across the country and never had the slightest issue with them. Just good times at indoor ranges and shooting AK's in the woods. I can see how the media propaganda would make you think that though.

US gun crime/death statistics are not propaganda. They are real things that are really happening today.

The NRA and the gun lobby - same deal. Real things. Huge political influence exists in the USA based solely on how candidates are going to treat guns.

Compared to most of the world - and certainly Canada - the US is gun crazy.

The idea that the general impressions of you - one person - somehow overrides all those readily available stats for a country of 330 million people . . . come on. Particularly since your impression involves going into he woods and firing off AK's. Do you feel that the fact that you go in the woods and fire off AK's somehow supports the idea that the US is not as gun crazy as it seems?


You having a few drinks over there?
 
On paper you win this one, muddy.

For example illegal aliens is an issue I can relate to. Have grown up seeing this epidemic going on everyday. They are the majority in my home state. Guns just don't compare at all to something like that. I consider it a non-issue.

The way that Vancouver girl expressed her fear, was mind boggling to me. Almost to the level that euros hate US and still bring up the Bush thing. 2 issues that will never get thought about by me 99% of the time, yet are flashing lights of caution to other countries.

Canada, we are basically the same place. Stop trying to distance yourselves so much.





Unfortunately, alcohol is not allowed where I in this city. It is obtainable but impractical for many reasons. Everyone at this hostel just sits around and drinks water, smokes a little hash. Might first time dry in months. I feel awkward and lame conversing with people.

And posting quality goes way down. Obviously .

Touche. Although, Nunavut has a higher intentional homicide rate per capita than any U.S. state.

Take that!
