Yes, finally, you bring up a good place to start bashing America. Censorship isn't fully destroyed yet.
the marijuna and prostitution thing only applies to one city in the whole of europe; amsterdam. not my country, not france, not switzerland, not sweden, not germany. not even holland. it is one city in holland. do not judge the whole of europe by one (successful) experiment within it. and not other drug (except mushrooms in amsterdam as well) are legal. that's right no heroine, no e, no crack, no amphetimines. no
That's a shame. Drugs should be legal the world over.
to say american society is the reason for it's gun crime is not debatable. it is the one unique thing about america. canada, sweden, switzerland have huge levels of gun ownership, switzerland i believe is above america. so it is not the guns that are the problem there. the swiss can handle having an assualt rifle under their bed and don't have the habit of shooting each other. so if it's not the guns it's the people. and the society creates the people. it is the one unique thing about america and so must be the reason why it has a huge crime rate.
You know, I want to clear something up for some of our foreign guests.

I'm an American. I live in a city. I have never, ever seen a gunfight. I've never seen someone be shot in the head. We aren't allowed to run around the streets proudly displaying our gun. I don't know what the hell people think America is (some sort of Old West scenario?), but it's certainly not a gun expo 24-7.
it's not a baseless argument. it's showing that one uniqueity has caused another.
What has?
no Hikaro Takayama they will not ban limbs. limbs are necessary. kitchen knifes are necessary. guns and bloody big machetes, samurai swords, big stabby slicy weapons not for cutting up steaks are not really necessary. same with baseball bats with nails in them, maces, knuckle dusters and flick knifes.
I'll end the argument as I almost always do: who in the hell are you to determine what is necessary?
