    [London murder rate beats New York as stabbings surge | News | The Sunday Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/london-murder-rate-beats-new-york-as-stabbings-surge-f59w0xqs0) I can see now why you Brits don't want guns - if you had them you would be more like Chicago! Guns don't kill people - knives kill people!

    I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like. Dave

      Which has harsh gun control laws and a radicated organized crime. As New York does. As Italy does. It seems that organized crime and gun bans go very well together... Maybe because it's easy to buy the police but not so easy to buy each and every citizen?

              Geeze dude, why don't you at least do some research before playing the racist card. It's a gang problem, and in point of fact, over 70% of murders in Chicago are black-on-black crime. Chicago: 75% of Murdered are Black, 71% of Murderers are Black | Intellectual Takeout[^]

                          NO it doesn't - blimey, clear and logical thinking really isn't your thing, is it? John Stuart Mill was wrong to correct himself when he said

                          Quote:

                          I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it.

                          Conservatives - right-wingers - are stupid. Every single effing one of them.

                            So you are aware of the fact that the majority of these recent murders is black on black violence, yet when I point it out I am racist, but not you? And you accuse me of bad logic? :laugh: :laugh:

                              Knowing a fact and attributing it o "culture" are different things. The racism is in your offhand comment, dismissing the violence as just something they do.

                                    Massive generalizations about blacks is racist! Massive generalizations about Muslims is racist! Massive generalization about conservatives is - A-OK with you obviously. And it's conservatives that think Liberals are stupid - Liberals think conservatives are evil! :-D

                                        Which had organized crime in governance since the beginning :D we're ahead. We already had a psycho wh**emongering old fart friend with dictators as head of government, a pornstar (or more of them), a transexual soubrette and a drug user as House representatives... We used to think Italy was behind USA, I'm starting to think we are the heralds of species involution.

                                          IME, racism exists in most cultures, but agree it is taken to the extreme in alt-right.
