What is wrong with America


Red Alert

Recommended Posts

No, this thread is about America's gun problem. Police having guns is not the main problem (although it appears how and when they use them is an issue). The UK police have guns because in some circumstances an armed response is appropriate.

 

The problem in the US is f*ckwits, criminals and the mentally disturbed being able to easily get their hands on a stockpile of guns designed for military use and as much ammo as they please - that's the heart of the problem.

 

You still don't understand that 95% of the gun crime is committed between gang bangers in inner city neighborhoods which are predominately black or Hispanic......when you get out to burbs its different........

Perhaps the officer was justified, perhaps he had no other option, perhaps the escaped murderer 'got what he deserved'; the difference to other Police shootings discussed on here, which sarnie still fails to spot, is that he wasn't an innocent person who might just have missed a stop sign. In sarnie's world, any use of firearms by the Police is ALWAYS justified, and the victim ALWAYS brings it on themselves.[/QUOTE]

 

All I said was what to do if you are stopped by the cops and the consequences if you ran away.........don't try and twist my words ........

Well I see we now have 38 pages - and counting - of variations around this very same point (and assorted playground insults) being endlessly hit to and fro across the N Atlantic in a manner akin to some vast transoceanic game of ping-pong. God knows it should be quite obvious to all that our Canadian friend will never accept what we might call the 'gun-control' viewpoint - however rational that approach might appear to be on our side of the pond. He in turn really should have comprehended by now that very few on here can agree with his attitude.

 

So everyone either agrees to move on and try and find something more productive to do with their time, or this futile game carries on until we all die of boredom. Your choice fella's ...

 

PS - can the mods please confirm whether everyone on here now has 'carte blanche' to blatantly circumvent the forum swear filter with apparent impunity, or is this a special privilege reserved for a select few only?

 

Thank heavens someone turns up every 50 or so posts to tell us how pointless this thread is.

 

Hey Chapple you don't have to read the thread :)

 

Hey Fry only pointless when you lose :)

You clearly haven't read the thread anywhere near carefully enough. Sarnia is a nuisance, certainly, but the most interesting posts on this thread, and the strands of argument, have nothing to do with him/her. So please don't do a pompous number on the rest of us, calling for the thread to be closed because it offends your delicate sensibilities.

 

One of the reasons it's so long - the key one, actually - is that it coincided with an extraordinary sequence of events in the US in which mostly black men were shot and otherwise murdered by cops and white supremacists. One lesson learned from this - or at least it's clearer now - is that the right to bear arms is a white rights issue.

So, again to avoid the use of language that clearly offend you, and to quote Dorothy Parker, I have two words for you and the second one is 'off'.

 

Can agree with all of this except the right to bear arms applies to all US citizens and most of the gun crime is black/black/Hispanic ......so to say it is a white rights issue is disengenious at best **** stirring at worst

There's no need to 'twist' your words.

OK, well as long as it isn't the white people in the suburbs killing each other, then that's completely fine?

 

You are at least starting to admit that there is in fact something wrong with America.

OH Really :rolleyes:....that's all you and others have done since day 1............yet you know nothing about living in North America........even saying that the cops should not be armed ...........you really need to accept that the way you police a small overcrowded crime-ridden country don't work anywhere else........but if you're happy with your life in the uk ...........ok by me.

Yes,it is different. In my small country town there are only about 3 or 4 gun related deaths a year. Quite a lot really!

Where did you get that from exactly? It's ok, I already have a pretty good idea...

 

There's plenty wrong with the UK and there is plenty that is good about the US (and the rest of America too, before you start).

 

On gun related deaths though, there is clearly no contest. Whatever the reasons are, the outcome - the sheer number of human lives lost or ruined every year - is completely unacceptable for a country that styles itself on being the enlightened leader of the free world.

The only solution will come from the people of the US..........Canada is a bit different but has the same gang banger problem in Toronto and all the big cities....

The debate ......OK

The 'debate' is a discussion on 'What is wrong with America ?'. Everybody but you reckons that there are too many guns, and most also think that the Police are too quick on the draw. Where, in what you have posted, have you successfully countered these notions ?

#1 - Yes way too many in the wrong hands.......see I do agree with that narrow statement......but don't agree that firearms should be banned to everyone......

 

#2 - Just because you saw some sensationalized media frenzy reports on brit tv don't think that happens every day cause it dont.............. criminals will still be criminals regardless of skin color ...........but seems to me if your white cant if your black can according to your twisted brit thinking.

 

HTH
