Are you mad because the legal system won't allow you near any high school?

Shameful Rape Culture In Australia Has Women Blamed For Rape And Physical Abuse

By Athena Yenko | September 17, 2014 2:41 PM EST
One in five Australians believed that a woman raped while having too much to drink is partly responsible; while one in six thinks that women are actually consenting to sex even if they said no. This shocking statistic resulted after polling 17,500 Australians in a research conducted by VicHealth.

It's in your blood?

Look at your own country first.   Rapes and sexual assaults in Universities, fraternities all covered up.    Rapes and sexual assaults in US military, all covered up.

I'm moving there to avoid the gun culture here.

I move at my convenience and not at your fucking command, asshole.     Why not get ready for your next mass shootings.   That is all what you have in this country, daily

our penchant to hide and dodge horrible things we commit is going to destroy this country. It was what has happened historically all countries that think they can do no wrong and whatever they want, wherever they want at will.

Before going off on a brain dead tangent, it is what happened to an empire where the sun didd not literally set. Think British

because they had no rights, example the right to bear arms.

I doubt if the incident which took place in Seattle was committed using a legally obtained firearm.

BTW, what are you trying to say?

Escorting is legal in Victoria.   Don't get busted with a hooker here in US!   LOL.

Australia does have lower rates of gun violence. Mostly because they outlawed gun ownership. But Australia has a far worse problem with overall crime. In the last 15 years, Australia's crime rate has steadily increased. Physical assaults have doubled.

And so has sexual assaults.

The USA, on the other hand, has seen an extraordinary drop in crime across the board. In the last 20 years, violent crime had dropped by 50%. If the current rate of decline continues, the USA is set to be a virtually crime-free nation by 2034.

 Kinda makes ya wonder why the Feds keep giving, and the police departments keep accepting all the military grade hardware of late. Maybe they predict a cataclysmic societal meltdown before 2034?

The next logical step to removing military hardware from the municipal PDs, would be replacing that hardware with new military hardware, such as armed drones.

When the person who has been nominated by the President to be the next Surgeon General and approved by the Senate Committee has to be endorsed by the NRA, you have a major problem in the country.

"Hands Up, Don't Shoot",   "I can't Breathe".    A guy who stormed a movie theater, shot and killed 12 people is still sitting without a trial!.   This country has enough shit

Stop smoking so many Newport cigarettes!

There's a reason why Republicans don't want a Surgeon General who talks about guns like it's a health issue. The reason is because it's *not* a health issue.

The only reason why the gun grabbing left wants organizations like the CDC to talk about guns is because such a conversation *eliminates* why people own guns in the first place, i.e. self-defense.

You could play the same trick by only looking at how horrific automobile fatalities are, except the difference here is that everyone accepts that automobiles have a useful purpose. When you have a surgeon general talking about guns like they're fucking diseases, it ignores that guns are frequently used for self-defense.

There are pros and cons to everything. The government agency that is better suited to examining the pros and cons of gun ownership is the Justice Department or the FBI. Not the CDC or the surgeon general. Bullets are not diseases. You wouldn't want a doctor to give you a firearm safety training course. And you wouldn't want a firearm instructor performing surgery either.

We are a big country, with 314 million people. Bad shit is happening somewhere in this country, constantly. There are 87 million gun owners in this country, owning 300 million guns. And 1 guy, who thinks he's Batman walks into a movie theater and shoots people. Why in the world would you think that this means we have a gun issue and not a mental illness treatment issue?

This country does have a problem. We have a corporate for-profit news media, who makes more money when they get higher ratings. They get higher ratings when they scare the shit out of people. 14 years ago it was Y2K. Remember that shit? How the entire world was going to end because of a stupid computer glitch? Guess what? Nothing fucking happened. But it sold a lot of newspapers. Then it was terrorism. Remember that shit? Remember duct tape? Remember anthrax? Weren't we all going to die from terrorism at any second?

It's the same ole shit. Today the thing you're supposed to be afraid of is guns. Why? Because the media told you to be afraid of them. You have the impression, I'm sure, that gun violence is increasing, when the fact of the matter is that gun violence is fucking plummeting. Even mass shootings have declined. The only thing that's increased is the media sensationalism about this issue.

desi, have you ever owned a gun? Ever fired one? Would you know how to field strip one? Do you even know what that means? It's natural for people to fear the unknown. But there are millions of Americans who do own guns, do know how they work, including millions of Democrats, and you should notice that none of them seem to be so freaked out that they're looking for the next flight out of the country.

Consider this possibility: You're being irrational.

If you work in an ER Trauma center and see bodes of people shot by assault weapons like those children (Newtown, CT), you would want to ban those weapons.    The pictures were never and will not be released.

Yesterday's shooting in Philly shows guns are used to kill estranged wives, children, family members and bosses who have laid you off.   What kind of society you live in?    In this country the chances of an innocent man, woman, child getting shot and killed by a gun (used by a stranger or a neighbor, own father, mother, grandfather, grandmother) is 100% more than any other country.

You don't need guns to grow up, get educated and make a living.   Hundreds of countries have proved it.

Are you mad because the legal system won't allow you near any high school?

Aren't schools gun free zones?
