Why do we accept the numbers? Because this is a country of victims.

Everyone is a victim here, so no one thinks that anyone has the power to do anything. Those that think that things can change don't make any moves because "Hey, someone else must feel the same way, they can start the revolution."

Everyone is a victim. If a black man can't get a job, he's a victim of racism. If a white man can't get a job, he's a victim of affirmative action. If a Christian can't get a job, he's a victim of secular-progressives. If an atheist can't get a job, he's a victim of the Religious Right.

It's no one's fault that anything has gone wrong, there is no such thing as personal responsibility in this country anymore. If there was, then the woman who sued McDonald's for spilling hot coffee on herself would have been laughed out of court.

I agree. Everyone in America wants to blame someone else for their faults, which is what I think is the biggest problem in our country

I could agree with that up to a point, but the thing is, you can't just blame the individual people for the high murder rate, not even the individual murderers, because American people are in general no different from the rest of the world. Most of the rest of the world manage not to have massive murder rates, so there must be something rotten in the system, not just the people.

This would be a great thread for notyou2 to necro bump.

A whole load of innocent people wont be breaking the law as you have an amnesty and advertise it heavily so that all the law-abiding people who have a gun and dont want to face the coneqeunces and punishments can hand their guns in, no questions asked.

I have to chuckle about quite a few of Titanic's posts here. Either he makes blanket statements that are generalities. States preconcieved notions: (Majority of ppl in South are Racist). I'm sure there are quite a few, but not as many as ppl make out. Also the above quote is quite funny. He doesn't know Americans very well does he?
