(Anti-Gun Person): The current system isn't working at all. Ban guns? Impose meaningful requirements?
(Pro-Gun Person): No. We need to get at the root cause. People. People kill people. We need to drastically improve mental / behavioral health in this country. We need to catch all the crazies before they do anything crazy.
(Anti-Gun Person): Ah ok then. Well, most of these people can't afford the medical help they need. Raise taxes?
(Pro-Gun Person): No. Raising taxes is a sin. You need to learn something about personal responsibility! Gotta take care of yourself!
Ummmm................
- hey, at last, a icanhaz post that made some sense. nice job presenting fairly clear and rational ideas. i am not being sarcastic.********
- the problem of course is that you assume that the solution is going to come from the federal or state level. what we have here is a cultural issue, therefor it********
- is basically unaffected by the passing of laws. it starts with individual attitudes. it starts with what it means to be a man in the heart of a ten year old kid********
- Do you expect everyone to come together in this country to join in on this super-vague "culture change" you're proposing?iCanHazQBN
- it starts with families staying together, with fathers that stick around. it's a cultural emergency for sure, but laws and politicians can't do anything for it********
- yes, i do expect that icanhaz. if people can stop being so focused on what makes us different and keeping the race game intact with things like affirmative ac********
- If you want to change the culture and mindset of an entire country, then we're talking hundreds of years before any effects are noticed.iCanHazQBN
- action, and stop playing the 2 party game with their spouting of rhetoric, and stop the class warfare game with the arrogant yuppie syndrome, we might start to********
- What you're proposing is something very vague. "Changing the culture" of a country.iCanHazQBN
- see young men be less violent towards each other, especially young black men, who represent an alarmingly disproportionate amount of the violence********
- yes, it isn't some magic solution that will change everything over night, this is a complicated issue and it has a complicated solution. i know you would rather********
- have your daddy/the government have it's wand and make all the guns disappear but that is just a childish fantasy********
- The government isn't the daddy. If enough people in this country want something, they will vote representatives in that feel the same way.iCanHazQBN
- I wonder how we'll get the entire population to agree on this culture change and do it all at once. How about a cute petition? "Sign if you agree on being nice"iCanHazQBN
- *wave it's wand. at any rate, i do not see why the cultural shift back to family values has to take hundreds of years, it didn't take even a single hundred yea********
- years for the complete degradation of the black household********
- What was the black household before?? Slavery?? Come on dude. Blacks have always been discriminated against.iCanHazQBN
- Black people engage in violence because they're desperate. If you're desperate, you take desperate measures to survive (violence, stealing).iCanHazQBN
- It's from ages of discrimination and no opportunities.iCanHazQBN
- It's not because they're black, it'e because they're a group of people who have been deprived unfairly.iCanHazQBN
- Of course you'd never steal or commit crime... because you don't NEED TO to survive.iCanHazQBN
- So are you proposing just simply asking black communities to "get it together"???iCanHazQBN
- Because that doesn't work. We need to invest (tax money) into these places to improve education. But you're against taxes of course...iCanHazQBN
- Money talks. It gets things done. Seems like you're the one with the magic wand idea... of a cultural change that arises from nothing. Good luck.iCanHazQBN
- Its worked so far, new healthcare system is nationalized so there is no excuse now.yurimon
- what? you have no idea what you are speaking on. the black family unit had always been strong until crack hit in the eighties. i suggest you not speak on the co********
- condition of black culture, you have a very thin grasp on the issue. crime is not committed out of necessity, it is committed out of a lack of good parenting********
- you make the most ridiculous excuses for peoples' bad choices, i know you think you are being very politically correct but really you are just being racist********
- and implying that because of some past wrong that criminality and irresponsibility are somehow not the product of personal choice, of course they are, stop talk********
- talking about black folks like they are children, it is demeaning********
- Hahahaha. What are you on about? Did you even read my posts?iCanHazQBN
- and i already told you the steps that need to be taken, i guess you were to busy being smug to retain the information.********
- you are such a fucking idiot it is unreal. to suggest that anyone needs to sell or use crack to survive, good god man, you are so deluded it is remarkable********
- nobody is to blame when somebody decides to sell crack rather than sell candy bars other than that person, and the parents that completely failed at raising him********
- In like 5 posts you've already shifted the cause of this problem to blacks... and them selling crack. "Everything else but the gun!"iCanHazQBN
- the ' oh those black folks, they just have to sell crack and gang bang because of slavery and racism and stuff' people like you are the most racist of all********
- oh right, but you want to insinuate that i am racist for even acknowledging the problem, lol, of course you would do that. you hide your racism behind a thin ve********
- veil of political correctness********
