And you would be correct. The US is as violent as any country. I was trying to disuade OneToughfish from thinking the US is more violent than any Euro country. Because that is incorrect.

The violent crime figures of Finland are well below of those of the US. Same goes for Europe as a whole.

Oh you're also a racist. And SteamWake with his racist spin on the 'cracking a head with a history book' - story might also be one. Groovy.

The last refuge of the tyrannt......you're a racist. And if you check the crime numbers for the US it is in majority black on black. Facts don't lie bud. I will allow you your interpretation, because you have no other argument, but it doesn't alieve you of your responsibility to acknowledge Europe's and by extension Finlands tendancy toward violence.

Yea facts don't lie and the facts say that the US is more violent then Europe. Not even the US right-wing think tanks try to deny this.

Continue on with your racism, it's just kind of funny how you attack against people who you brought to the US as slaves and then put into ghettos. I guess you don't mind the blacks not considered as a part of the US.

I guess you don't mind the blacks not considered as a part of the US.

Never heard that before. But that shows how misinformed you are. I consider blacks a part of the US, citizens in fact. Like the rest of the folks in the US everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions.

Asd of now more blacks are taking the lives of other blacks at a greater rate than any other demographic. I guess you will call that racist.

But then Fns are racist by calling the US violent.

Now you see how useless the term is when used in the vaccum in which you used it.

Good point. He should have never tried to use anything between your ears.

(btw, it's spelled vacuum)

There was another instance of a 10 year old girl bringing a steak knife into school to eat her lunch of steak leftovers.

Some teachers saw this, so they confiscated the knife, and then naturally called the cops, who arrived and naturally arrested her for possession of a weapon on school grounds, and naturally charged her with a felony.

Fortunately, sanity eventually prevailed, and the charges were dropped.

All because of @$#% stupid zero tolerance policies enacted by @$#% stupid people. They're a bit like the brilliant three strikes laws, which can sentence someone to life in prison for shoplifting.

And naturally, the Supreme Court refused to overturn the sentence. Way to go, guys.

Thank you for the spelling correction. As ususal it shows the lack of argument. Just surrender. Its what your good at. :har::rotfl2::har::rotfl2:

Award yourself a piece prize.

if some kid insulted me and my race and sucker punched me, I'd crack him too. It's not racist, it's standing up for myself.

as for the violent crime thing. Freedom does weird things to people. To many it's some kinda drug and they take it too far. Freedom of almost everything does that to people

With freedom comes responsibility. Not the kind of freedom we see at the G-#?. That is something else. Freedom is allowing other opinions, beliefs, and ways of life, while standing for certain universal principles, which don't overtly harm others.

you got me, I had a brain fart mid-sentence. :O:

When the school says it was a knife , the parents say it was a knife and even Foxnews says it was a knife how can you say that?

Did your school have a zero tolerance policy where suspension was automatic no matter what the circumstances were?



So this story is just an example of the sillyness of zero-tolerance policies which some people seem to favour due to their shewed perception of how much of a threat current crime levels are.

I don't think so, but I graduated HS in 1979. It was a time when if you got out of line the smack down was comming.

OK keep this on the level, I am watching a couple of people here.

??? This isn't 1979.
