[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]America is a great country.  Do we have problems? Of course all nations do.  And while it politically things seem dire right now, the best thing to do is stay and vote and help, not leave.  Time takes time and a hundred years is just a blip on the linear course of world history.  Our greatest natural resource is our young people, our children.  If we can nourish that resource properly we can move to a better society.[/quote]
Our young people are being desensitized to violence, a la school shootings and the like.  #1 killer of children is guns in the US.  Statistically, they are safer in Japan, or any other developed world other than the US.[/quote]
Yes, but let’s be frank. Children being killed by guns is a very specific cohort. You can research what that cohort is pretty easily.  You can also just read the major city newspapers every Monday morning to figure it out. If you remove that group the statistic that you cite changes appreciably. [/quote]
Maybe so if you narrow it down to a cohort, but what about the day-to-day grind of people breaking the law in broad daylight and no one says a thing.  Someone keys a row of cars for fun.  3 kids jump out of a car at midday and steal 9 Rolexes from the store window.  You wake up and your car's tires are gone, your car is up on milk cartons.  More people jump the turnstiles than actually pay.  It's a steady drumbeat with the mass murders as the melody.  I'm so done.[/quote]

Where the heck do you live?  I’m 52, have lived in the U.S. my whole life and have never seen such things. [/quote]

I don't know where PP lives but in the city of alexandria this is common place. [/quote]
