Everyone who is in favor of gun control in the United States need to see this. This is what happens when you allow the liberals to take away your guns. First they will take away your guns. Then they will take away your kitchen knife. After that they will ban you from carrying pepper spray or any other substance, which could be useful in defending yourself. The left-wing loonies want to make you defenseless against the rapists and murderers.

If the law system works great there won't be rapists and murderers other than psychopats. Give 25 to life to rapists and murderers in bad conditions and see how many people dare this again.

doesn't matter if you're sarcastic with this but i somehow find it very doable for the government to implement such. its always fear that will make these low life back off. its death that will always make them back off. and putting it in thier minds that they will surely find death if they commit such crime so long as they are caught with evidence and a witness itself, the criminals would be dead before they'd have their day on court.

Allowing people to defend themselves would be madness, but allowing your wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters to be raped then executing the attacker isn't? Funny, aren't these things Europeans have been criticizing Americans about for years (ie the death penalty)?

Having the right to own guns doesn't really make anything against rapes you know? Otherwise USA wouldn't have a higher rape rate than most UE countries (except for Belgium and Sweden).
http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Rape-rate

It's always a question of pros and cons. And seeing the violent crimes in countries with right to own guns, and those with guns control, I know where my choice is.

Yes, lets just ignore the fact that Sweden, Belgium, and Australia all have higher rates of rape in spite of having smaller populations and much stricter gun control laws or outright bans on gun ownership. I love that you still can't find your own sources as well and are still parroting the very statistics site I sourced to you previously when I attempted to debate gun control with you as you spouted your opinions over and over as if they were fact. BTW don't expect those rape stats to stay low for most of Europe this year and many following.

Hum... I didn't say anything about Australia because... You know... It's not in Europe and you were just spitting on European legislation. I can find my own sources thanks but this site was on the first results and as you gave it once I thought it would be easier for you to admit your wrong. Seems it will not.

And yes let's ignore the fact that only 2 of the 28 EU countries have higher rape rate  which means that 26 of 28 countries have a lower one.... What do you need to see that 26 > 2 ?

BTW, funny how when it's you, it's fact, when it's me, it's opinion no?

You didn't say anything about Australia because it doesn't fit your narrative of gun ownership having no effect on preventing rape. I responded to your claim and used your own source to show that you ignored other instances which refute your claims in order to yes, push your opinion. He who claims proves, and your proof is not very compelling, especially considering how large and diverse the US is compared to these other countries. You can tell me about per-capita if you want, I assure you I know how to interpret statistics. I am not sure you are able, but the per-capita rate does not account for the disparities in different classes, cultures, religions, races, etc that lead to higher crime rates which would lead to a greater need for gun ownership for self defense.

Lets discuss the rate of rapes in Europe one year from now (2016 stats) and compare it to the US rates shall we? Its easy to claim superiority when the wave of destruction is just starting to crash against you and you have nothing to defend yourselves with. The current crime rates are not reflected in years old statistics. Just because Europe enjoyed a short period of superior quality of life doesn't mean you are guaranteed that future, and marxists and socialists such as yourself will ensure Europe's speedy decline.

Well I'll let you by your words. As you said, he who claims must prove. Then prove that " marxists and socialists such as yourself will ensure Europe's speedy decline.".

I didn't say anything about Australia because it was not related to YOUR claim and YOUR statement about European legislation. I like how you consider that "considering how large and diverse the US is compared to these other countries.". Well I'll go with your way of debating, just prove that claim. Cause as you kept saying, that's just an opinion.

EU has twice the population of USA, 28 times the legislation complexity, numerous different cultures and etcnics groups, dense history, more or less 25 different languages, and you just come here and caim that it's "not so much diversified, especially compared to the US".

Well. When it's you it's just fact no? But when I don't take one non European country because YOU were talking about European legislation, you say that I try to push my opinion. Double standards no? If we go this way, shall we also consider the dozen of gun non control country having superior rape rate or would it be out of debate because it doesn't suit you? At least I have the honnesty to apologize when I misinterprete a stat.

And ok let's discuss Europe rape rate at the end of 2016, I'm pretty sure it won't ashame our continent. But as for anything else, you know better of course.

P.S. Oh and of course let's totally forget about the fact that 26 out of 28 nations have a lower rape rate than US. It doesn't prove ANYTHING.

I'm reading papers and (as every other day) news about a girl being stabbed and killed by a 15 year old boy in the centre for immigrant kids without parents. Then right below an article about migrants in Austria, where they we're not following the rules of the pool, breaking the inventory and were going into women dressing rooms, and of course the leftist party and socialist are critisizing them... Who's insane here? I was saying this from the start, what to do with them, we kill them and skin them. Dress the cold, feed the hungry.. Joke, It's a joke, but seriously, what's going on with Europe? What do you think, will something happen after Angela Merkel leaves and someone new, with different views replaces her?

Sigh...  Roll Eyes

Ok let's do this again. Seems like the flow of people yelling "wtf is happening in Europe?" will never stop.

1- what do you want to do? Kill/refuse every immigrants coming? (not sarcastically judging you. Real question here)
2- Don't you have the impression that the immigrants are like a very tiny little problem compared to how banks and great capital is fucking us?

1. No, but the identification of migrants. Who doesn't have an ID can't turn around or go to some other country. Letting them flood the Europe like this, without knowing who's who. But the worst part is their culture, they need to be told that they need to adapt to our culture, not for us to adapt to theirs. Sure why not, if you came from the war fucked up country (some of them), you can't refuse/resist and play the racism card...  It was small when it started, now it's something bigger.

2. Seems like the flow of people yelling "omg these capitalistic pigs, they're all bloodsucking jews! Hurting mah people! " will never stop.

1- Well, good news folk, that's already what we're doing... We're already setting them all in camps, but the fact is most of them have no desire to stay in those refugees camps forever so they leave and go around. An asylum seeker has no right to go around in Europe, he must stay in the country he was welcomed in, but if he doesn't care about the law what do you want to do? Re make European borders and watch them?

2- Did I mention the Jews? I mentioned banks, you talked about Jews xD
And You say whatever you want, banks are getting money directly printed by European Central Bank at 1% interest rate then they lend it to countries at rates between 2% and 15% for some countries. I dare you to call this anything but thief! Debt interest is repayment is 45 billions in France! With that money we could have the current social care system capitalists are yelling at, improve our education, give homes to people in the street, jobs to unemployed and we'd still have enough money to integrate correctly immigration!
Oh boy, so if someone does not care about law, he is free to do what he wants? that logic.
The answer is obviously if they break the law, deport them, fine them, imprison them.

Never said they should be free. Never.
You want to imprison them? Stupid, we already don't have enough place in prison, wanna add people just for wandering around? Deportation is not better, it costs a fortune and they'll just come back...

The problem is here, what other solution do you have? Cause everyone is saying we should do something, yes but what?  Wink

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe banks are the ones that caused the wars to begin with, and that the banks are fucking you all via this mass influx of immigration abusing your well intended but misguided socialist ideas as your own downfall? No of course you haven't. Like every Socialist/Marxist, you demand everyone be else be generous with their own resources and risk their own safety to satisfy your own ideals of justice. If the "refugees" are so important to you why don't you invite them into your own home instead of demanding everyone else do so? It is so much easier to just demand everyone else be generous with their collective resources isn't it? It is like being generous without all the pesky personal sacrifices of doing so.

I'm currently saying that banks are the first ennemies... So yes it crossed my mind thank you! Banks are responsible for more or less anything that is currently ruining the ideal of socialism which is, here I agree with you (which is not so common) totally corrupted by our shitty leaders.
I'm not asking everyone else to be over generous, I'm saying we don't have really the choice concerning the migrants. Cause we just can't close the borders. That's not physicaly possible considering the size of European borders in fact.

You over interpret my thoughts I believe... And Marxism has not much to do with generosity but with fairness. Rather different trust me.

this is just stupid!!! how a 17yo girl who protected herself from a sex attacker then gets arrested? i dont know how police work works in other countries, but this is plain stupid.

She was not arrested, she might maybe perhaps get a fine.
Police has nothing to do with that. What's stupid is that law forbidding to own a perfectly non lethal defense equipment.

I'm the first one to defend gun control policy. No citizen should own something lethal, but pepper spray will cause nothing more than a huge headache and crying like a baby! Why not allowing citizens to own one??? I'm pretty much sure it's even better than just fighting bare hands!

A municipal fine certainly can result in jail, for example if it is not paid. 

Pepper spray has it's own unique attributes and dangers, for example if it is used inside a closed environment such as a car or bus.

At least to that extent, there are cases where using pepper spray should result in a fine.



A municipal fine can result in jail time after a dozen of years of non paying. Which is different from being arrested. That's all I wanted to say.

I totally agree on the use. It shouldn't be used without a very good reason and any use of a paper spray can be considered as an agression. But as a paper spray has no lethal possible use and only very marginal dangers it should be allowed to citizens. It's just a question of where you put the limit and I would put it on instruments that are proved lethal.

Okay. I'll clarify it so that even you can understand. But that doesn't mean that you have to understand, or that you will, or that you will admit that you understand even if you do. You can ignore what I say, as usual, and throw all kinds of false understandings on it as usual. Bit here it is spelled out. It isn't difficult...



Science fact is fact.
Science theory may be fact, or it may be fiction. We just don't know.

Science fact should be taught as fact. Why would we teach fact as fiction?

Science theory should be taught as it is, unknown. Therefore we should treat it as fiction until we know that it is fact. Why would we teach the unknown as fact when it could just as easily be fiction?

Science should be taught to all who are interested in science. Why not? We teach all kinds of things. Why not science?



Now here is the part that you are attempting to mix up.

All I said (albeit in different words) was that we should be teaching science theory/fiction for what it is... fiction and unknown... not as science fact.

The thing that is happening is, theory is being taught as fact... if only by implication. It would be better to not teach theory at all than to teach it as fact.



There is not a whole lot clearer that this can be made. If you are going to misconstrue what I have said because you are playing with the language, and trying to trip me up somehow, that shows that you are a deceiver.

If you truly cannot understand the point of it from what I have said, you need to go back to school. My job isn't that of holding your hand and straightening our your mind on understanding things like this. However, if you pay me enough... in advance... Bitcoin...


Smiley

Great but that was not really my question. I understood the distinction you made between science facts and science theory. Problem being I'm not sure I agree with it. Can you give an example of what you consider a science fact and what you consider a science theory?

And to think I wasted all that time on writing that whole thing.    Cheesy

I consider to be science theory, those things that the science papers say are science theory. Have you ever heard of the "Theory of Relativity?" Or the "Big Bang Theory?" It isn't my idea. It doesn't have anything to do with what  I "consider a science fact and what" I "consider a science theory." the scientists themselves, being rather honest about their science occupation and calling, say it themselves.

Smiley

Well then... We already teach them as theories. I don't see why you're saying we should teach them this way, it's already the case then no?
Schools might formally teach them as theories, but they teach them in such a way that people think that they are fact.



And by the way, I see what you mean but they're reaaaaaaaaaaaaally closed to being pure facts.
There is no difference between a fact and a pure fact.

If a theory is not a fact, it cannot be close to being a fact, no matter how hard one tries to make it a fact. It will always be fiction.


Most of these theories (especially quantum ones) are the closest as it's possible to "fact" for theories.

Quantum is probability. Quantum this or that will always need something else to prove whether or not it is fact. Quantum is simply a "trick" that scientists use to help them clarify ideas.

Smiley

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

That's why I wanted to go deeper, cause I was more or less sure you were confusing things  Cheesy

What's a fact?

Giving your ability to navigate Bitcointalk, I should think that you can look it up in an online dictionary or encyclopedia. Can't you?

Smiley

Well I would have loved to hear your definition...

You see the problem is Oxfor definition is: "A thing that is known or proved to be true"
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/fr/definition/anglais/fact

So proved by what? A theory? But then what proves the theory?

My point is that there is NOTHING in science that can be considered as a "fact". They are only deduction of theories, theories being based on assumption.

So there is no "science theory" and "science fact". Only science. And that's what it taught in schools.

Women can't be blamed for their dress, if a man went out with a daring dress I don't really see women go and rape a man for it. I think if women are blamed for the type of dress they wear it's the worst thing I've heard.

Hmm... Women raping men is much more common than you seem to think. It's a real thing, around 25% of rapes are done by women. It's not because all the associations are made by women to protect women that the problem is only concerning them.

All I said (albeit in different words) was that we should be teaching science theory/fiction for what it is... fiction and unknown... not as science fact.

The thing that is happening is, theory is being taught as fact... if only by implication. It would be better to not teach theory at all than to teach it as fact.



There is not a whole lot clearer that this can be made. If you are going to misconstrue what I have said because you are playing with the language, and trying to trip me up somehow, that shows that you are a deceiver.

If you truly cannot understand the point of it from what I have said, you need to go back to school. My job isn't that of holding your hand and straightening our your mind on understanding things like this. However, if you pay me enough... in advance... Bitcoin...

Great but that was not really my question. I understood the distinction you made between science facts and science theory. Problem being I'm not sure I agree with it. Can you give an example of what you consider a science fact and what you consider a science theory?

And to think I wasted all that time on writing that whole thing.    Cheesy

I consider to be science theory, those things that the science papers say are science theory. Have you ever heard of the "Theory of Relativity?" Or the "Big Bang Theory?" It isn't my idea. It doesn't have anything to do with what  I "consider a science fact and what" I "consider a science theory." the scientists themselves, being rather honest about their science occupation and calling, say it themselves.

Well then... We already teach them as theories. I don't see why you're saying we should teach them this way, it's already the case then no?
Schools might formally teach them as theories, but they teach them in such a way that people think that they are fact.



And by the way, I see what you mean but they're reaaaaaaaaaaaaally closed to being pure facts.
There is no difference between a fact and a pure fact.

If a theory is not a fact, it cannot be close to being a fact, no matter how hard one tries to make it a fact. It will always be fiction.


Most of these theories (especially quantum ones) are the closest as it's possible to "fact" for theories.

Quantum is probability. Quantum this or that will always need something else to prove whether or not it is fact. Quantum is simply a "trick" that scientists use to help them clarify ideas.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

That's why I wanted to go deeper, cause I was more or less sure you were confusing things  Cheesy

What's a fact?
