Regardless, pretty much any government in the world can pass bills that directly violate a bill of rights or something. Hello, look at that fucking STUPID ass Patriot Act in the US, where the FBI can wiretap you for no reason and detain you indefinitely without charges. That shit's ILLEGAL as hell!

At least in the US, a person won't be arrested for defending his/her home from a break in. In the UK, a person who uses force to defend his/her home and family can be sentanced to life in prison because they caused "unneccesary harm" to the criminal.

The whole "damage to the criminal" thing is based on the Human Rights Act, which needs major revision. David Cameron wants it scrapped. There have been shootings in Canda. Since we're here, you can have the link.

What about that other guy from a Canadian College that just shot a bunch of people.
"Life is like a video-game; you gotta die sometime." Look, I may be a serious gamer, but this is one of the stupidest mentalities I've ever heard. Video games are there for fun; leave the real firefights to the soldiers and the police.

I don't want to live in fear, I don't want to look over my shoulder. Sure it happens but why is it all happening now? How much worse will it have to get before change is taken??? Change is accidental.

Today on Friday th 29th, a prinicpal was shot and killed by a student. Two days before, 4 students held hostage by a classmate, raped and one killed. 7 days before THAT, two boys were arrested after they were found to have planned a very detailed plan to kill several students. What the hell is with the damn world??? I mean seriously, war on terror, school shootings,teenage pregnancy, drug addiction, steroids, need I go on? Is it just me or is the world in a damn downworld spiral lately... what kind of proof do people need to make a change in order to benefit the world and the country? I don't want to live in fear, I don't want to look over my shoulder. Sure it happens but why is it all happening now? How much worse will it have to get before change is taken???A common day in Argentina. Welcome to the jungle, little spoiled First World boy.
