pure brilliance

What makes you think that America wouldnt turn into Africa if there was no US government?Whats so fundamentally different?What US has less black people than Africa, is that it?Think about LA gangs,now imagine that theres no police in LA.Now imagine thats how the entire country looks like.Imagine that a company producing meat is not regulated by any governmental agency,they would make 3kg of sausages out of 1kg of meat.You would eat pig shit and you wouldnt even know about it.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Well you are comparing apples to oranges. If government were to disappear in the USA, we would not turn into Africa. The problems in africa stem from many things, and one of them is there government.

Well, the guns would only be there for the worst case scenario.
No matter how many gun laws you make, no matter how much regulation you impose on gun stores, criminals and crazy people will still get their hands on them, i promise you.
Every single major shooting takes place in a “Gun Free Zone”, because no one is capable of stopping the shooter.
Google, “Virginia Law School Shooting”, for a good example of 2 students with guns, stopping a killer with guns after he only killed a couple people
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Not saying guns are absolute protection, just better than nothing, and think it should be a choice. Your example is just that, the situation may be different. The state is an unnecessary evil, but i don’t see it going away anytime soon.
Most of the school shootings in the US may be related to SSRI’s (anti-depressants).
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
So youre advising for all teachers to carry guns just in case some student brings an AK-47 to kill everyone. Brilliant! Why stop there why not have soldiers in every classroom, armoured doors, foxholes in front of every entrance and snipers on the roof. What a fun school would that be a perfect environment for learning. Yeah and thats how the system should work instead of talking to students teachers should kill them.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
You are comparing completely two different things. If you come to the school with a gram of weed you wont be able to kill 20 people unlike when you come with a Semi-automatic gun bought by your father for “”hunting”. Thats the bottom line.

First of all you must live in some kind of Hollywood-fantasy land if you think that just because you have a gun the criminal will back off. If a criminal stumbles upon an armed citizen during a bank robbery he will not back off he will shot you BECAUSE you have a GUN. Secondly, if you think that the less government the better then you should move to Africa because let me tell you governments there provide absolutely no services of any kind and have completely no interest in their citizens.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
The US population need guns, but they also need proper training. Criminals get guns anyway, and if they meet someone with a gun, they will back off. School shootings could have been stopped if people had guns. Guns isn’t the problem, people is. Lots if guns in Canada too Government is just a violent monopolistic company that force you to pay for services, no matter how crappy they are, so don’t expect good protection. I think there’s a need in the US to balance power with an armed population.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Listen its very difficult to own a guns in my country and never in the fucking history did we have a school shooting its as simple as that and you can take that poetic nonsense and shove it up your … know where

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.”

Just like if there was strong drug regulation, teenagers wouldn’t have drugs, right? You’re just too smart, but thanks for taking the time to come point out these complex solutions for us peons.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Well.. free carry of firearms would be even better.. There’d be no school shooting like Columbine if teachers and adults were armed.. The perp would be killed quickly instead of having to wait for the police to count the bodies.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
More gun regulation has never stopped a criminal from carrying a gun. In fact it encourages criminals to carry a gun because everywhere they go all they find are unarmed victims!

very insightful of you
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
There shouldn’t be strong gun control (it’s unconstitutional). Parent’s need to stop being lazy and actually raise their children instead of letting Government, TV, Video games,music, etc. do it for them.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Well if there was strong gun regulation there would not have to be any policeman in schools because there would be no armed teenagers
FUCKING HELLO ?!?!?

very true

A Democrat and a republican are walking through a street in downtown LA. The republican sees a homeless person so he gives him his business card and tells him to see him for a job. He then gives him $20 from his wallet. The Democrat impressed by this generosity sees another homeless person so he gives him directions to the welfare office. He takes $20 out of the republican’s wallet, gives the homeless person $5 and keeps $15 in administration costs.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Thats a good idea. Government is a very inefficient machine. You put £1000 in and get £200 out. That might be an understatement or an overstatement but you get what Im saying. As soon as government funds something money is lost in administration costs.

But you have to admit, vouchers would be much better than public education itself. Of course, if you did repeal the income tax then people would have alot more money to invest in education.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
I prefer user fees to taxes.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
I sort of agree, but if you cut many of our other useless programs, the vouchers are not much of a price.
I consider taxes a necessary evil.

If you read history, you see that rulers used to control their subjects through force (e.g. threatening to cut off arms if they “get out of line”). This is not what happens today of course. Now “rulers” or politicians have to convince us to “stay in line” or, as we call it, vote and act a certain way. They achieve this through forms of propaganda. Critical thinking diminishes the effectiveness of propaganda. I’m not a CT or anything, I just can think. I’ve learned more on my own than in school.
