The New James Bond Is a Wus!

Where the hell have you been? I forgot my entire train of thought on this one, and I'm out of retaliatory questions, and I am getting a UPS delivery, so I'll concede everything to ya.

 

Not so fast there old man. I already conceded back on page 4!

 

I think thats the best part of the article! lol, its called aiming! Stupid non gun-understanding man.. sheesh, thank god I dont live in England


I love how its never the people who shoot the guns, its always the guns and bullets that do the killing! :tut:

 

I think Frank Angel is kinda like a real life James Bond.

 

Or Austin Powers maybe? Yea babieeeee! :P

 

Do you think their justice/penal system might help work as a deterrent at all??? or just the gun laws???

I dont mean to be repetitive but I didnt see a reply the first time I asked, Im just curious if you're considering that aspect since you seem to have made up your mind that their stringent gun laws seem to be the main reason for their lower crime rates.

 

NWMDA says:

WMD don't kill countries, countries kill countries...

I thought I'd bring back that macro-political rational into the melee..

Fuck this, every country should have the A-Bomb.

 

I think...

I don't know...

I do believe...

I'm not going to bank anything on those claims.

Didn't Austrailia restrict gun ownership a few years ago? What happened?

 

WTF are you talking about. I said the Japanese have more self discipline than we do, and that's true whether you want to admit or not. Their crime rate is a reflection of their culture, including self discipline. There is crime there no doubt it, but not at our level. Argue all you want, it won't make it any different.

Non reporting...dishonor, shame in doing so...please.

 

I'm not sure what self disipline has to do with anything other than maybe internet porn.

Crime rates fluctuate.

Self disipline is not the only variable in the equasion. So, what are you talking about?

A crime rate is a reflection of individual choices that lead to arrests, convictions, and incarceration. Victim reporting, law enforcement decisions (ever get a waring for speeding), prosecution, and other things play a role.

How about this one? Community policing.

I did a study on a place in Canada that had kept crime records for a very long period of time.

Crime went up. My conclusion was that the community changed how it delt with the offenders.

Criminals used to have a stigma placed upon them. Now, having a "label" placed on a person is "bad". Sometimes "bad apples" are "bad apples". Should a person be treaded differently because they did something? Yeah!

Maybe people in Japan actually look down upon criminal activity, and that, in their society, is the thing that makes individuals thing twice about committing a crime...the shame that the community will have toward them as a "bad apple."

 

I saw a documentary that said just that. The shame of being a criminal actually plays a significant role in the comparatively low Japanese crime rates. Of course, there was a lot more than that.

 

hmmmmmmm sounds alot like conservative condemnation.

 

Tell it, brotha. Those bukkake deals must really take some self-discipline!

 

I like how someone in Japan who gets a cold will wear a surgical mask while out in public.

Whereas here people consider it a virtue to not miss a day at work while they sneeze, cough and spray germs all over everyone. When there was the SARS outbreak in Toronto, anyone with a sniffle was suspect, but still it was the healthy people who wore masks.

A little bit more shame/sense of responsibility and less focus on individual rights wouldn't hurt imo.

 

I don't get your thought process on that.

If you're sick and you give your sickness to other individuals...that's a problem with individual rights.

 

I bow to your mastery of the net Frankie. Be careful not to go blind.

 

He won't -- he uses tons of visine at the after party.

 

Wussie Bond gets his teeth knocked out in his first fight scene!
