    Terrorist didnt start attacking American soil when GWB became president. They attacked fist when Clinton was President The original bombing of the World trade center was done in 1993 by Muslim members of a terrorist cell of AQ. This first attack killed 6 and injured over 1000 people.

    And to answer adaydreams question here is one who was involved in the 1993 bombing. Omar Abdel-Rahman. He was a direct part in the bombing including the planning.

    What ever Obama does will not change the way certian cultures see the west. The view that the west is corrupt has been around since the west became a power. It wont go away because we have a half black president. Its a religious issue not a political one and politics will never remove the issue from the minds of the religious people.

    Illinois has long legacy of public corruption At least 79 elected officials have been convicted of wrongdoing since 1972

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28141995/

    Illinois has a tradition of people like this guy coming into political office.

    This guy was just too eager to do the wrong thing then the right thing to make his way through life. Like many people who let politics become the driving force in their thinking, he didnt see the wrong in his politicaly motivated ideas. Hope we dont get any more suprises from the infamous Chicago style politicians in office or coming into office.

    Obama should be the one picking the person for his seat, that way they get someone he would allow in his place.

    • wonder what kind of t.v. he owns. Where was all of his electronic gadgets made in? *

    China like everyone elses stuff. Including the Japanese.

    The guy is an idiot and thats all. Also American cars and Japanese cars are about perfectly equal in the quality ratings by most polls, so those who still think other wise havent moved on from the late 70-80 era.

    Population control.. If you look at other animals of the earth.. Its to weed out the weak and let the strong survive.. Scientificlly Speaking that is.

    Because of the Human Nature of Greed war is always going to be part of society.

    I know no good reason to start a war, but I can think of a few reasons that humans think justify war..

    Let me guess - because you're not allowed to carry a gun to 'protect' your children with here?

    No not in the least. I carried a weapon for work, but I never carried when I wasnt required to. Also considering that the city I lived in was a major metro area also and only had a .9 murder rate (in 2005) and of that only .1 percent was a person under the age of 16.. On top of all that Tokyo has more child releated sexual and violent crimes in 2002 then my whole state did in 2005. I feel that alone is good enough reason to feel the way I do. I also in the many years I lived in my state did I ever have any try something to one of my kids, but in the year I have had them here I have had someone attempt to take one... So yes I feel that Tokyo is less safe then where I came from...

    Facts are facts, most places in the US dont have violent crime like LA, New York and such. Some Americans dont live in fear every day of their lives. I never had any fear to let my kids play until dark in the states, but even my kids school here(in Japan) has them wear personal (police notifing) alarms on their necks everyday..

    I hate to tell you this but your trying to lump one location and one persons experience into every location in the US..

    Cleo.. in Eden you can have a perfect world, but in this reality you cant remove a major part of the power structure of the world. Guns are the sword and shield of modern times. Country base their power on their weapons so I just dont see them leaving anytime soon.. I wish we had a perfect world and everyone sang songs around a camp fire everynight, but we dont and its too late to make everyone into fluffy loving teddy bears. So guns are going to be around and we have to deal with them in an intelligent way, not just throw out the Eden factor of Banning all guns...

    *What about people who aren't planning to kill anyone? But then something happens, they snap, and they just happen to have **a Knife **in their pocket 'for self-protection, it's the sensible thing to do'?*

    Shaking in your boots in Japan Actually I am more afraid for my children here in Japan then I was in the states... So I guess it depends on where you live and what you know about the area. I lived in a state that had a very low murder rate, much lower then Tokyo and the Child death rate is almost 600 times less in the state I'm from then Tokyo.. Guns, Knives, rope, and anything else can kill or injure and the murder. Since I have been here there have been multiple gun murders, and injuries from guns.. They excist her even if you dont like it.

    Considering you would need a world ban to make anything work in the US, your Idea is not very well thought out in reality.. Drugs are illegal in the US but that doesnt stop the flow from other countries to the US does it? Also 40 states in the US have C&C laws.. in those states the violent crime rate is decreasing.. In the other states (10) violent crime rate is increasing... California has a very high rate of violent crimes, and most of the illegal guns come from Mexico (and California has one of the tighter gun control laws.)..

    Taking guns away from those who are responsible is a lot like cutting your wrist and putting a turniquet on it just to have a criminal shoot you in the head... then claiming and praising the tourniquet stopped the blood from the wrist but ignoring the fact the person is dead from a head shot wound...

    Yea SuperLib thats the intelligent thing to come up with. Humans are human, and they have been killing each other since time begain. No one said more guns is a solution to anything, but taking guns away from the non violent ones isnt a solution either, is it? (at least according to all the evidence)..

    The only thing you can do at this stage in the game is to teach people, and try to control the types available to the general public, but in the end as long weapons are available to buy people will kill with them. And if/when they are Banned people who are criminals will kill with them, Because they will still be able to get them

    Next tell me the solution to war, hunger, disease, or any thing else no one has given a real workable solution to. Bitching is just that, and saying dumb statements like ban guns is just not going to so anything for anyone other then lip service. The facts are simple and very easy to follow, Guns are on the streets, Guns are available any where in the world, Humans kill each other with guns, small amount of non criminal people kill others with weapons (outside of war), Taking guns from the non criminals doesnt reduce violent crime, and last but not least most anti gun people have no viable solution but provide a lot of useless comments that dont make logical sense.. I.E. So the solution to gun violence is....more guns?

    Hope that answered your question Super...

    If all the legal gun owners would be removed from the 29k+ violent deaths a year it would still be 29k+ because its a very small number. In 2005 (the latest numbers available from the CDC shows 29k violent deaths from guns in a population of 300000 people "gurai" And Non fire arm Violent deaths is around 22k for 300 million "gurai"

    The same trend shows for suicide..

    The numbers show that gun related and non gun related is very close.

    http://webapp.cdc.gov/cgi-bin/broker.exe

    No one is saying guns are the best thing in the hands of an idiot, but guns are not the root of the evil. Even in this case the Gentleman had been arrested for multiple things related to abuse of this woman in the story. He wasnt just a guy who snapped, he was a guy who foretold what he was going to do and no one listened....

    Think about this Smith.. when planning to kill someone people use what ever is the easiest for them to get at the time they are going to kill someone.. Its not an EXCUSE nor is it a Defense to state if someone wants to kill they will kill with what ever they have around. That is why the number of Violent deaths in the US is about the same between guns and other non fire arms.. If your theory was correct then a very high percentage of violent deaths in the US would be from guns, and a very low amount from other means. And Countries like britian wouldnt have a 50% ratio in violent deaths being from guns...

    You state over and over that the amount of people getting killed would decrease if Guns are not a factor.... What would happen is this... If guns are outlawed in the US, normal folks wouldnt have one, Criminals would still get them from the black markets (just like they do here in Japan) and a deterrent for criminals will be gone... I dont think every fool should have a gun, but I also know if you remove them from the hands of the innocent the criminals will become more brazen in their actions.

    What other proof does one need then the actual numbers that show violent crimes have decreased in states with C&C and areas with gun bans have hi gher then the national average rates for violent deaths.

    Guns are here (blame the Chinese) and they are not going to disappear from the criminals hands no matter what you do, so to say banning guns will decrease violent crimes is just not a proven fact, all satistics show areas without guns have an increase in violent crimes, and guns are used as a majority in those crimes..

    So show me some proof that areas that have adopted gun bans (after having guns available)have decreased violent crimes.. Just one official study from a goverment will work.....

    Smith said...

    A lot of you guys are having trouble reading. I didn't say I bet he was allowed to CARRY a gun

    But before he said...

    I can prove to you that because he was allowed to carry a concealed weapon, a man is dead

    Hrmm seems you did say he was allowed to carry the weapon....

    Smith Said..

    The saddest part of course is that a man died because some lout had a gun and got a little upset. Again, had it been fists there would have been no death here, and perhaps the man could have realized the err of his ways.

    Also the man shot isnt dead he is in the hospital with critical injuries

    Guns can be used to do harm, but so can knives, sticks, bats, bow and arrow, blow gun, rope, and anything else someone wants to use... Weapons kill because people use them that way.. My brother in law has owned a Bow, a knife, a hunting rifle, and a pistol for 40+ years and strange he hasnt killed anyone with them.. Its not the weapom its the idiot attached to it that does the killing...

    Seems gun violence has been dropping since 1993 in the US (even with the horrid no gun control lmao)

    A review of the areas in the U.S. with the most restrictive firearm laws, including such areas as Washington, D.C., Chicago, IL, New York, NY, and the state of California, shows that these areas have some of the highest crime (especially violent) crime rates in the U.S. The crime rates in all of these areas exceeds the national average and they all have enacted in-depth restrictions on firearm ownership that includes licensing and registration schemes, various taxes, testing, and even bans on firearms. In essence, these areas have become a gun control supporters Utopia.

    Smith I have arrested many guys in my years that had committed murder with other then guns. So I guess my experience is much more then yours on these types of matters. I cant guarentee he would of killed with out the gun, but I can prove it wasnt a concealed weapon. He wasnt a legal gun owner and the gun wasnt legal, he waved it when he came in, therefore it wasnt a C&C issue... Also Smith he most likely wasnt allowerd to have it at home since he was already a felon.. according to the local paper..

    Adaydream.. a stupid statment is to say the man only killed because he had a gun... simple and very stupid statement.. Akaharbara showed very well a Knife can kill just as fast, didnt it? No one is saying the gun isnt a factor, but to make the ignorant statement it was the guns fault is just retarded. People who want to kill will do it with what ever they have.. Let me hit you with a tire iron and see if it takes more then one second. And also I dont watch the news everyday, but I worked as a law enforcment officer for years so I guess I didnt need to watch it on the couch. On top of all that the guy could of carried a knife, or any other weapon in to Kmart as easily as he carried the gun..

    Even though the Mod deleted the information I posted that showed the US isnt even in the top ten of the highest per capital in murders, it still is valuable information. Do some research and find out that the US isnt the murder capital you would like to make it. Also considering I can go out right now and buy a gun in Japan(they sell both hunting weapons and sports weapons here) . Here is a link to how to get a gun in Japan legal (you can also get a one illegal, but I wont explain that method) http://www.recguns.com/Sources/IIB3a.html Cleo

    Im not a NRA member nor would I ever support them since they spend money foolishly in Washington, but I am a licenced C&C permit holder, I used a gun for many years in my line of work, and I have had to shoot people in the line of duty. I didnt do it with glee (like many on here think gun owners do) and I have to live with the fact I have taken human lives. Even with all that I still think if a person is trained and licensed they should be able to own a weapon (Im not talking a 50 cal machine gun, Im talking a hunting weapon or a small caliber pistol for protection)

    With out the gun he would of stabbed him, hit him with a tire iron, or what ever he had to in order to kill the man.. Guns dont make you a killer.. People kill all the time everywhere without guns.. Tighter gun control wouldnt make this type of crime "EASY to avoid it" would make it harder by a small margin to get a gun for someone legally but not for an illegal gun..Also I dont here (or Hear) about this type of overreaction in the US any more then I hear of overreactions in any other country. Like the Guy on the Bus in Canada who cut off another mans head, that was a tad overreacting.

    Just because he used a gun doesnt mean he would of let the guy walk away with a black eye.. Sorry Cleo but you havent been in many fights or seen real fights, when a man is willing to kill someone it doesnt matter what weapon he has, hes going to try and kill someone..

    Guns that most criminals use are not legal guns, and are obtained in illegal ways. If you ban guns in the US they will just get them on the black market(street) anyways . Gun control is something they need to enforce more in the US (even though it will not effect illegal weapons that much) but a ban is just not going to work, just like taking booze away didnt...

    Dont have a mail box near our house we have a office near us, but the one over by the Train station has a small van that picks up the mail , yellow plate Mitz I think..And yes the mail boxes are small, red and rusty when I see them around other areas here.

    Too small for me to own, but it is a good little vehicle for a small family.. Great to get off of the gas addiction..

    I can take ten men and teach then that much combat training in two weeks.. Its not as hard as the civilians want to make it sound. Its no different then playing football on a team, or hockey etc etc etc.. It wasnt that well planned and it wasnt done in a very technical way.

    It was better planned then a person with a bomb on their back running into a crowd and blowing them selves up, but it wasnt a special ops level attack...

    Grasping straws or using straw men isnt much different..... Take it for what it was, and dont try to always link everything to Iraq. Hell you start to sound like Bush when you try to link everything to one source all the time... Think about it, you complain when Bush says Saddam had links to AQ, then you say evey action in the region is linked to the US.. You start to sound like Bush the 3rd to me...

    Why would I feel guilty about going into Afghanistan Actually I think it was one of Bush's best moves (he didnt do it right but it was a good first move)? Do you feel guilty because Canada is there?. What I was pointing out is your M.O. of always including the US as an excuse for everything that happens in the world.. Nothing more..

    If you understand the history of those two countries you would know they have been at each other for a long time..You would also know they both are nuclear and have been for a long time. They haven't gone wacky on any of the other attacks either side has done before, and most likely wont this time.

    India has internal problems with the different religious groups and this seems to be another of those problems.

    Your post is just another excuse to bash a country you are "shitto" about... It takes away from your point (which is a good one) that India shouldnt over react and attack Pakistan, when you inject your hate and "shitto" of America in it. And that goes for all the post you do, if you drop your bias about America your post would have some merit to those of us in the states who have the power to change our goverment.

    Its really time to give up the BS you use about the US.. Argue the article on the article and dont use it to bash the country your in love with :)

    Instead of finding a way to fix the issue they are just putting a bandaid on it.. If they want to get them off the drugs then they have to keep them clean not keep them using.

    I understand the reasons behind the "safe and clean place to get an injection" but I think one of the problems is your just paying for them to get a start to their high for the day. How many after they leave the clinic shoot up more to get the high. They can not get high for half the cost because of a free hit from the goverment. I would guess crimes dropped due to the fact they dont need as much money to get the same high now.

    And" why would you use the US ally in the war on terror" for any other reason then to try to get a reaction from Americans? India is also part of the team on terror, and is an Ally to the US, as is your home of Canada, and Many other countries...

    India is also a Nuclear country, and has been fighting with Pakistan for many many years already...
    Just because the people are from a country doesnt mean they are a represenitive of that country.. If it was a goverment sent hit squad then and only then would their country of orgin matter.

    Seems some people have to always try to connect everything that happens to the US some way or another, its just truely pathetic... I havent heard any sane person try to connect the US to anything happening to India on this sight, and I still havent..
