Everybody knows who has the most violent culture in the world

[IM2]

One particular ethnicity makes movies and "music" about their culture of violence....

Really?

 

[Oddball]

True. Granted, some of that is likely a result of government. Ice Cube and others have talked about how the government helped to promote and mold gangsta rap, for example. It seems that the intention was to encourage people to live in a way that keeps them down and ultimately dependent on government assistance in the long run, whether financially or by law enforcement.

The short answer is that government always needs victims to justify its existence.

Right....Nothing that they've done is their fault.

Here we go with people missing the rea picture.

Do share with us the real picture then. If you're just going to demonize guns, you're the one missing the picture.

The abuse of weapons by some does not negate the right of others to possess them. Otherwise, none of us should be allowed to drive either.

 

[Darkwind]

Violent video games. Violent teevee shows. Violent movies. Music that glorifies violence. Lack of parenting.

Maybe we start there, huh?

The four preceding the last one on your list were not a problem until the last one on your list became dominant.

 

[IM2]

While some people have an obsession with guns, plenty of others just realize that letting government have a monopoly on force is a really bad idea.

The government doesn't have a monopoly on force and your pea shooter is no good against the weaponry our military has.

Really?

Are those presented as everyday "normal" aspects, or the exceptions?

Be honest for just one micro-moment of you miserable life.

Remove a half dozen major cities (predominantly Democrat ran) and America doesn't even crack the top 100 for violence.

Hosea 4:2
By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break (all restraint) out, and bloodshed toucheth bloodshed.

The problem is unrestrained human nature.

I'm not missing anything. We live in a violent culture, other cultures don't have our problem. This is an argument that is not just about guns.

Another lie.

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying the fact that many of their problems are self-inflicted and result in government dependence is more than a coincidence. One of the most telling things about the history of black culture is that Northern blacks were doing quite well for themselves before the Great Migration. In many communities, blacks were living better than most of their white counterparts. Integrating Southern blacks into the Northern communities led to a lot of conflict and issues with culture. To be fair, this was probably inevitable due to having been subjugated by slavery beforehand. It's just that maybe better efforts could have been made by the system to help them integrate.

A similar set of problems happened with racial integration after the Civil Rights Act. A policy of trying to treat people equally is noble, but there's usually an adjustment period that requires helping people to adapt. What seemed to happen instead by the late 70s is the rise of grievance politics and critical race theory, which only hold back black culture.

 

[Darkwind]

Another lie.

You need only expend half the energy you do being a racist and look for yourself.

 

[westwall]

Lying to ourselves is why the problem continues.

Well, you are the expert on lying.

The Taliban would disagree. So would various other insurgencies. So would our own government that distributes small arms throughout the insurgencies it supports.

Plenty of other cultures have our problem and sometime worse. Again, it's worse here than a lot of other First World nations, but we're also more culturally diverse than most other nations. The more diversity you have, the more conflict results because of differences in values.

and which culture causes the most violence? which represents 13 percent of the population but commits 50 percent of all murders and 37 percent of all violent crime?

We are number one in violence. So no, others don't. And cultural diversity has nothing to do with it.

 

[Monoculturalist]

We are number one in violence. So no, others don't. And cultural diversity has nothing to do with it.

How are we number one in violence? Have you looked at the stats of various African and South American countries?

And diversity has a lot to do with it. Most of the most violent nations have longstanding conflicts between ethnic groups.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

From this list a person can extrapolate which culture is the most violent.
