No, we cannot simply says it's not the guns. I refuse to believe Americans are evil compared to other countries. It should be obvious that it's easier for the average person to pick up a gun and kill - sometimes kill over and over rather than to kill with other weapons laying around in the average house or car or just carried on the street. We all get angry sometimes and it can be so easy to grab a weapon if one is close at hand.
Again, Americans are NOT evil (or sick) compared to other countries.
Sure we can. Otherwise, we would see the same rate of gun violence in other countries that have easy access to guns. It is very easy for a swiss citizen to pick up a gun and use it, but they don't.
We have created a culture of selfish, entitled, the Government is going to take care of me, I'm not responsible citizens.
I read an article yesterday where a lady backed over her 9 year old daughter because she wasn't responsible enough to make sure the child was actually in the vehicle before she started moving. She blames the government and the car manufacturers for her lack of responsibility.
I don't have kids at home anymore, but I always open the garage door and look behind the vehicle before I get into it to back out. You never know what someone may have put there without thinking about it. I had a BIL back into my wifes car when she was visiting her sister because he just got in his car and backed out of the garage. My own wife ran over the lawn mower that my son left by the garage door when it ran out of gas.
I think people are not taught responsibility anymore. I think people are in too much of a hurry these days. I think the work ethic in this country has gone downhill. We took discipline out of the home and the schools. We took honor out of our society. Yes, America is going downhill fast.
Why the rise in illnesses of the brain? Why the rise in allergies? Why are our daughters going through puberty years earlier than previous generations? Why do we hold actors and sports players in such high regard?
