LoL no, you aren't changing human nature with words, i'm sorry, you can encourage good habits and behavior at birth but human nature has shined through every culture and nation throughout history. we have to account for human nature not pretend it doesn't exist. that's what is so...

won't change everyone, there's a % of the population that are born narcissists, also read the selfish gene by Richard Dawkins, people are literally compelled by dna to act spitefully and aggressivley at times. dna is trying to survive and outlive the other dna machines on the planet there's...

That has to do with their cultural values and cultural homogeneity more than any other factor by far. it has nothing to do with access to a gun. The north koreans are literally the same people different culture even stricter gun control, higher attempted homicide rate. as for the japanese...

you mean like Russia and brazil? they have the strictest gun laws and the highest attempted homicide rates, infact you're wrong almost all the places that have higher gun control have worse crime, relative to the other countries that have higher gun freedom, if you actually take a look at the...

why not? it's the same concept on a macro scale. It's called deterence, the threat of force is enough for people to reconsider action(and deterence is useless if they aren't real threats to the other party). Not everyone is "good natured" and we will never have a 100% "good natured" society...

guns made society more civil my friend. it's an irony isn't it, like nuclear weapons have made the world inherently much more stable. The murder rate before the invention of the gun was dramatically higher and immediately preceding cheap guns proliferation on the planet the entire worlds...

Then you would agree that we should train and arm woman with handguns so they can protect themselves because the law and culture is fallible?

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a..._cry_rape.html it's complicated but "American, British, Canadian, and New Zealand studies that converge around a rate of 8 percent to 10 percent for false reports of rape." that's way more than "very very rare", that's enough to always have some...

Logic dictates some eras have to be more moronic than others

ps3 wifi wasn't that good, but I would never use wifi for gaming on a PC either, so I don't really see it as a negative. Atleast the ps3 didn't force you to buy a wireless adapter to even have it available.

When I went to Rome for the first time, I had a big sad when I saw mcdonalds across the street from the pantheon. also every club only played american music in the 5 euro countries and 2 south american ones i've visited, American culture is so dominate around the world it's silly. And I know...

The irony is we are busy actively destroying arabian culture in the middle east, because it's a military threat to the united states.

what's fucked up about that world view is cops aren't legally obligated to protect you from anything, they only arrest criminals after a crime has been committed. You have to protect yourself, nobody else is obligated too.

You say that now in retrospect, but in a very real way the majority of people just didn't question any of these concepts or the idea they where being monitored just didn't enter the conciousness of most people. that has to be taken into account, millions of people agreed to be monitored by...

You didn't notice that cop lied atleast 3 times during that video?

I don't respect cops at all you want to know why? they are trained liars, they are literally trained to lie to you. The actual people who inhabit the uniforms as off duty individuals i'll like sometimes. However all the training and reflexes drilled into them to demonstrate authority,force their...

Liberal societies are out of their fucking minds sometimes, not all groups of people mix well with others without some kind of cultural integration, specifically sweden is receiving quite a shock from some groups of foreigners. i'm waiting for tanoomba to post some pedantic video about eye color...

I'm really more interested in understanding how numbers came to his point of view than a light back and forth banter.

apparently our schooling system purposefully delays adolescent behavior in people alot longer than was ever done in history, no wonder each generation gets worse.

he see's at as all justified because it follows a protocol book like it's an ethical masterpiece.

Houston wouldn't trade lin, they have a huge chinese market from yao and now lin.

you're already on a list somewhere, acting like a rational peasant won't always work out in the end.

satire, australian made it

bitcoins to the rescue! is probably how that will evolve. they can't bully a money supply they can't control.

he has an angle there, I would play on howards desire not to be shaquille oneil, say how shaq was gifted but his goofy mentallity and lack of ethic/desire cost him championships.

Political correctness always seemed to go hand in hand with social bullying as much as xenophobia seemed to go along with pack behavior to me.

This is called LEGAL CREEP, this is where you take a narrowly defined set of rules that justify increased intrusiveness and authority because of a specific threat like say the mafia(rico laws) or islamic terrorism(patriot act) and later down the road using that power against totally different...

why would an intelligence gathering agency desire more intelligence?

I can't see how you can say that, sure you can say your individual hand wasn't held the entire way through the point by point description of what exactly is going on. However to say there is nothing to SUGGEST that they are collecting everything(or a large enough amount currently to worry about...

I found this guy on FOH as well, I liked this song alot

It's pretty obvious where this is heading without a culture change. eventually everything you mail, anything that can be systematically tagged and recorded will be placed in your american file.

This is what the near future is going to be like in my estimation, every single American will have a file, in this file will be all your Facebook posts, all your credit card purchases, all your gps data linked to you, all your library takings, all your web browser viewing, all your emails, file...
