Bruce - are you OK. You are starting to sound like you are about to have a melt down. The answer is there: the British solution - step one and step two. Its just not that difficult. Are you alright? Previously I was only joking about a need for coffee. Now I am becoming a little concerned. Are you alright?

Don't play games with me you patronizing cocksucker, this thread has nothing to do with the British.

Tw never has answers -- he's incapable of being constructive, even if you gave him two hacks of two-by-four studs and a hammer.

His English is breaking down in his excitement, too. Outright is already an adverb -- it happens not to change from its adjectival form. The -ly is superfluous. His definition and usage of Satanism, capital S and all, will come as a surprise to the COS, from what I read in the very occasional newsletters of theirs I've seen. These show the ruminations of a creepy lot of low-end-terroristic bandits, with their "victimize outsiders else they'll victimize you" mindset. They don't show even any inclination to proselytize, let alone actual proselytizing. Nor, I think, do they show the nerve to take slaves.

I expect his lack of answers, it's an ongoing style. But responding with personal attacks and outright lies to fair and legitimate questions, will never go unanswered.

Personal attacks of repeated profanity are posted by xoxoxoBruce. His personal insult - posts also devoid of facts - has become so routine that I ask again if xoxoxoBruce is OK.

Granted, the nation's emotional state - complete with schoolyard massacres that have become routine - is rather black and only becoming worse. This attitude was America when another president routinely lied, attacked sovereign nations "Pearl Harbor" style, violent crime increased, ignore what "Wise Men" said, act only for a poltical agenda and at the expense of America, and American soldiers were sacrficed so as to massacre the yellow man. Deja vue Nam. Some can become so emotionally downtrodden as to become profane. Is xoxoxoBruce alright? Intelligent and stable people do not post profanity repeatedly for personal insult.

Actually, violent crime is down in the US and decreasing. It is just being reported more.

So that explains a murder a day in Philadelphia? Clearly daily murders were once common in Philly - when Philly had a larger population? No wonder there is so much gun play in one area that I frequently visit - and I have seen none. So that shootout right across the street that involved hundreds of rounds fired by the suspect - that really did not happen? Gun fire in many American cities is now so routine that kids in school can identify the weapons by sound. So that was true 20 and 30 years ago because violent crime was really just as high then?

Yes, numbers might be fudged. Mexico is probably more violent than the numbers say. But in Philly, gun numbers have increased, and violence has increased. Are you saying the number of schoolyard massacres is down? So pervasive is violence in Philly that recruiting cops who get paid more in Philly has become difficult. Clearly the increase in guns and gun trafficing has reduced vioent death numbers because Philly was killing more than one a day 20 years ago when crime in general was more frequent?

I post the way I speak and nobody is washing my mouth out with soap, so fuck you, tommy boy. You haven't a clue what personal attacks really are.

If you don't have the intelligence to answer a simple question about what you posted, I guess you must have just copied it out of a forum or magazine article. Otherwise you would know the thinking behind the the statements and be able to clarify them without just posting parroted crap.

Because you haven't a clue what your posting about you try to pull a, hey look a bird, diversion. Going off on tangents, belittling the poster that questions your posts, even if they are not disagreeing, but asking for clarification.

If the economist, that patriotic American... oh wait, that's a British publication, isn't it? Anyway, if it ceased publication, you would dry up and blow away. Even though most parrots live a long time, without feed they die, just as your online persona would without those Brits supplying your posts.
They'd find you in an alley babbling about MBAs and power supplies.

If you don't want to answer questions about your posts just footnote whoever made the original statement and we'll question them. That way you can just cruise along fat, dumb and happy, acting smug and superior, not knowing everyone is laughing at you.

The Economist is anti-American because it is published by Brits. And more profanity. xoxoxoBruce now says he routinely used profanity. I doubt it. But it is now amusing how few short hair I need pull to set him off.

Bruce - did you notice some of these hairs are turning grey. Maybe you should start taking viagra?

Your doubts carry as much weight as your posts, which is nothing.
And still we have, look a birdie, from the parrot. Nothing substantial to be found anywhere to copy here, I guess. Maybe Monday morning someone will step up and post something he can copy.

Actually, RK, I would argue that in some areas violent crime is so high it isn't being reported at all.

%80 of the US live in or near cities. I cannot find the percentage who specifically live in cities, but I believe that many crimes in cities go unreported. We hear about the increase in the homicide rate, but for every homicide, how many other violent crimes are also on the rise?

Wasn't there an article here about how a rappers says reporting crime is considered breaking a social norm (no idea if it is true or not but I doubt it) here a week or so ago?

As long as we allow portions of the population to carry that type of attitude we will have rampant violent crime. However, every time someone takes a serious stab at doing something about it it's portrayed as an assault on a minority culture or something.
