Ban money and reduce the world population to 10% of current level.

Can we generalize this further to something like

• Required executive for criminals

Only the really nasty ones. I could care less if someone smokes pot or steals a loaf of bread.

It's been proven that tighter family units= less crime so I suppose force people to spend more quality time with their families "or else".

You can maybe blame some of that on Ronald Reagan, as he was the first governor to sign in No Fault Divorce in California in 1969. Before that time it was much harder for couples to get a divorce, therefor, families were forced to stay together. I don't know the statistics (I don't want to google anything, I leave that up to those stat nuts that google every little number about every little issue in society), but if your supposition is correct, then we should be able to conclude that crime rates were lower before this stance on divorce was enacted.

Lower crime rates can be seen towards the turn of the century, and that is assumed to be because of the addition of new technology.

My belief is that technology will eliminate most crime once the populace gets over the whole Mark of the Beast syndrome.

Easy, stop the bullying, be more accepting towards others. If you know your son is a bully, have him lobotomized.

But also, you are a big fucking country you will find wackos all the time.

If nukes were legal and available to the general public, the world would be over by now. But I understand the right to bear arms is part of the ideal of America and I understand it's political implications, so banning guns isn't an option.

No normal person would do those mass killings, it's a problem of the mind, it's anger bottled up.

Whenever I go to the states I feel the separation of people, even behind those smiley "hi's". We gotta accept each other, be respectful.

So, I repeat, if you find out that your son is a bully, bully the shit out of him until he stops.

But stop hitting him only of he says "pretty please with sugar on it" first.

Restrict civilian ammo sales to less-lethal rounds like rubber/beanbag bullets

[Phatscotty]

Restrict civilian ammo sales to less-lethal rounds like rubber/beanbag bullets

how will that make a criminal feel? I think the criminal is more confident and more brazen against beanbags and rubber bullets.

Violent criminals everywhere say "thank you Crispy"
