To be honest Israel is more relaxed then the US even though in their case one could argue that the danger is higher then in the US.Quote:

Wake up Roamy, the underlying reasons are completely different, and I could even go as far as saying that the USA has the biggest blame for the Spain bombings too as they are the ones who scorned the whole Middle East along with their long time protegee Israel, yet we pay the price for it sometimes.Quote:

It's all about moving the discussion away from those pesky guns.Quote:

We glamorise celebrity and it doesn't seem to matter what fame you achieve. Singers, celebrity idiots eating Kangaroo balls, sportspeople doing ballroom dancing or a bunch of nobodies acting like fools in a community house. The only way is Essex or The only way is murder.
Guns are a reality in America. The people that seem so deep set in their Conservative ways regarding Abortion, Contraception, Homosexuality, equality for women, different religions and race are appaulled that anyone might attempt to curtail their rights over Gun ownership.
While you have a perverse demand for tittilatio and, the free access to firearms, you will continue to get these attrocities.
Believe it or not there is a reason why European Cities rank way above the US cities in the life quality statistics, and crime (well the lack of it) is also one reason for that.Quote:

The point is Europe far outnumbers the US in population, yet we come nowhere near in crime levels, let alone fire arms related ones.
Take for Example Vienna, Austria, a 2million inhabitants city where we get about 20 murders in a year. How does that compare to US cities?
Why is that every 2nd TV movie in the US is about cops and crime and drugs and so on? Does it have any connection to your paranoia for owning guns to protect yourselves?
Instead of spitting venom about the mental issues that the euro do not really have, you might want to take a look in the mirror, it might help you see your own issues and cure them.
And yes our governments certainly do a better job at protecting us then yours does, the numbers are out there and tell the story for everyone to see.
What are the chances for that? 1%? Maybe less.Quote:

To difficult? Well face it, you are addicted to guns just as the junkies are addicted to drugs, maybe even worse cause some of them can get rid of their addiction while you are defending yours!
Weapons have been freely available to Europe's inhabitants thousands of years before America was settled by your ancestors, yet we are not keeping weapons at home, to 'defend' ourselves against imaginary dangers.Quote:

Other than life insurance, which I don't have as it is pointless IMO, the other two are a legal requirement. So what was your point? Does the US law require you to buy guns instead of maybe financing universal healthcare and a better social system that would take people of the streets and greatly reduce the chances of crime, as we did in Europe?Quote:
