That is true, but back then there was no force to stop the U.S., since Natives lacked technology but also no other countries seemed to care. |

| i think the reason is because americans thinks its not a big deal shooting people then in other countries and it just grew from there. I mean it became so common to solve problems by shooting the enemy that americans lost all morals. so reason why people think this way? maybe the peers. |

LOL did you watch Bowling for Columbine? "Forget the police, I take the middle man out of the equation and do it myself!" |

today, Germany is one of the most pacifistic countries in the world, and it's sad that a country has to lose a war to realise that war is stupid, i only wish the obsequious wanker that represents me could understand that violence isn't the key.
Personally i wouldn't classify bowling for columbine as a documentary, it's way too biased. I'm not saying it's bad i love moores insight, and am a regular viewer of the awful truth. I don't think Moore will be able to make another movie like bowling for columbine, one of his main tactics was to secure interviews with people that thought he was a fan or underestimated him, now that he is well known, who in their right mind would want to be interviewed by him now?

6.4 million English
1.9 million Irish

i wouldn't classify ethnicity as a reason for violence
the gun buyback scheme: where people hand in their guns of their own will to be destroyed and are reimbursed with a fraction of the guns price
| quote: | The Federal government hopes to net more than 65,000 guns under the $118 million scheme agreed by governments after two students were shot dead last year when a licensed shooter opened fire on a classroom at Melbourne's Monash University.
It's the nation's second gun crackdown. The Federal Government spent about $315 million buying back more than 640,000 guns after the Port Arthur massacre in 1996. |

I dont think our(the u.s) insane gun related crime rate has much to do with how easy it is to get a gun legally. I think the real problem is how easy it is to get one unregestered. I don't have any hard statistics but arn't the guns in murders generally unregistered? I think thats something that really needs to be cracked down on.
The second reason is our gang culture, which is diffrent than the gang culture anywere else in the world. I mean in L.A people get shot for graffiting on another gangs "turf" its just insane.
The media's not to blame, neither is the nra, the guy who sells stolen guns and the gangs are. |
