@kevcvs57 saidall the things you mentioned were happening BEFORE the gun was invented.
lol so gun culture is new to the USA 😂😂 how do think you managed to kill of the indigenous culture? How did you manage to keep all those slaves in line? Who do you think is shooting up your schools and n stuff?
Your culture is gun culture, enjoy.
@mott-the-hoople saidWere talking about the USA, the gun was invented long before the USA. It just happened to be the culture that fetishised it.

Oh please.
Gun culture... America?? Go back to the "roaring twenties", a hundred years ago, when mafioso gangs
would shoot up their adversaries in drive-by shootings, sometimes killing innocent bystanders.
People forget that, or are too young to have seen the old movies that glorified it.
Sam Giocano, Al Capone, Bugsy Seigel, Carlo Gambino, Meyer Lansky, and many many more.
@kevcvs57 saidBut this is about a culture being created. There are guns, drugs, and other methods and devices, and they are all over the world. We are witnessing a mindset, a movement , no matter the 'implements'. Hell, they may use a knife, or a wagon, or a basketball. Whatever it takes to bring on the culture.

It is pitiful how the subject of a thread is changed by the libs when it does not suit them.
@shavixmir saidShav. Please note how no one responds directly to the issue. Last i saw, they were talking about guns. Help me out here? Are they that shallow=minded?
What the hell are you jibbering on about now?
Gee, another openly racist thread. What a surprise.
Actually criminals have often been idealized in US culture; Earl brings up the Roaring Twenties (true enough) but the "heroes" of the old West were Billy the Kid and the gunslingers.
So there is nothing new in the US about a "culture" that idolizes certain lawbreakers. And there is certainly nothing new about racists here trying to codeword their racism towards blacks by saying they're not against them but their "culture" though there exists pathetically little evidence that blacks in the US have any major cultural differences from whites (they might be a bit more religious).
@eladar saidYour question relies on a stance I’ve not taken in order for it to be relevant or make any sense.
You did not answer my question.
Try posing a question that cuts to a stance that I’ve taken or a statement I’ve made.
We never had plantations in the uk just domestics, but we certainly used guns to operate our slave trade if that’s what you mean. But again I’m NOT the one claiming that black people have just invented gun culture in the US or the UK.
Why are you such an illiterate idiot even though you claim to be a teacher?
@no1marauder saidIt’s culture, Marauder. That is the problem, the issue. The members of the culture happen to be of color, but is the issue their color? Naa, that won’t wash.

Seems like you, as Duchess does, keep zeroing in on race. You don’t think it is a culture issue? Note the looting. Is that a race thing, or is it a culture thing? I mean, who loots. Hey, anybody here ever looted?
