As for America becoming a nation of morons... I don't know. I think common sense isn't that common anymore.

It gives you a counter for deaths, births and a host of other worldwide data thats makes you feel rather small .... which is what you basically are ... about 140,000 people die every day.

Originally posted by joe shmoI live in a country of about 1.3M people on 2000 sq ml. of land. We have about 6 to 10 violent deaths every week... VIOLENT .. not Walmart trampling rubbish but shootings and stabbings. This is a fairly typical 3rd world country. Successful prosecutions for these killings hover between 2 to 4 %... like you said no accountability. But dont compare the US with us .. whats the ratio in other developed countries ? better ?

Originally posted by joe shmoSAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Two people were killed in a shooting inside a Toys "R" Us in Palm Desert, Calif., on Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year, according to media reports. The Los Angeles Times reported that the shooting, some 120 miles east of Los Angeles, may have stemmed from an argument between two groups of shoppers. So-called Black Friday is the traditional starting point for the holiday-shopping surge.

And this sort of idiocy is one more example of the self-indulgence, lack of self-discipline and insistence on immediate gratification that kills off common sense and decency. We're just going to consume, consume, consume until we choke on it.
