Maybe if suspected police crimes were investigated by independent ( NOT police) investigators and if a crime is found to have been committed, they are prosecuted by independent prosecutors, the bad apples might be weeded out and the public might regain a little trust in them and the due process. If you or I commit a crime though, we are investigated and prosecuted by police ( at least in this country), NOT by members of our own profession.


The u.s. doj just did that to the los angeles police department. They are about to do the same to the los angeles sherriffs department.

When I originaly posted these figures I gave sources .
Sme are from combining sources for example wikipedia will give you international suicide rates and the US murder rate is easy to find. You just add the US murder rate to the US suicide rate and compare that number to the suicide rates on the wikipedia suicide list and it jumps out at you.

And no, even if I didn't give sources or give them the way you want them doesn't make me a liar, saying it does is just a cheap way of trying to ignore the facts.





no you did not give sources, if you did, please post them again

I gave you this link and you ignored it...
why?>??

PS Lookie...I can give another link, I can give government statistics, not links to online "news" sources.
Everybody can look directly at the sources, but they dont.
They prefer to gob off and use the wrong terminology or use apples to orange comparisons.
Like Homicides to firearms offences, and saying, they are the same.
And ignoring the actual factual statistics. while not posting their sources and expect to be taken seriously




As much as i agree with you LL, i must say its not that far out of context to say the American people are programed to be violent by nature
Yeah you can quote bi-lines, and post interweb links till we are all blue in the face, cause we all know that if its on the internet it must be true.

No i am not trying to start a fight or pick one with you i am simply pointing out that it is human nature to start wars wether domestic or foreign it is in our genes just look at all of the wars we have been apart of.

And don't think our civil deffense is free of that as well, it is in our governments best intrests to keep our focus elsewhere
We as a nation ARE being numbed by our social media, our news and our daily pod and tv broadcasts, our nation thrives on crime and corruption
So why become angry about it when things like this happen?

Our everyday life revolves around our court systems, our police, our military, and our lack of human rights, oh and lets not forget the big issue with "*guns and the rights to bear them"
Hmm you doubt what i say is true fine you are entitled to your own beliefs
But here are some simple facts with the ever important interweb links that everyone takes for gospel

In the USA THERE HAVE BEEN 3,715 tv shows, movies, and sitcoms based solely around our judicial system, crime and corruption

.links will be in my next rely as i am having issues of them being placed where they should be when entered

well you took that off on a tangent, but in doing so you are assuming I disagree with you.
please dont....
Im not assuming you are picking a fight, and I am well aware of human nature,
I am not sure why you believe I think your civil defense is free of anything?
Im not American, I am from England and I live in Canada. I am well aware of the effect of movies and such. Its not like we dont get them outside of the US, we have even made our own.

Again with the assumption that I am going to disagree with you.

please dont assume.
Oh by the way, you can call me Lucy if you wish...

Murder rates you are 4 times higher although the US figures seems more than a little of to me.
Murder/homicide:
US 12 253 surely you cannot just shoot each other where is the sport in that- what was the death homicide by gun in 2013 anyone i the USA?
UK (was 601) which would have been 3000 if we had the same population

well fuk me lets see if we can beat you at suicides. Alas nope. You best us by that a factor of 2 and I know we cannot best you for kids accidentally blowing their parents brains all over the place

Death by gun in America is far too high, and then some. Only the barking mad and sophists argue otherwise

And remind me never to go to Honduras


There are several countries in Europe where the suicide rate alone exceeds our combined murder and suicide rates. And the only way you can dismiss non firearms murders is if you suffer from the delusiion that you are not as dead if you are knifed as you are if you are shot.


(Once again....no links...ergo....lies....lying liars....lacking in link liars.....)

Ok since you aren't bright enough to follow simple directions and math I will do it for you.

There is no site showing the combined US murder and suicide rates vs the suicide rates of other countries.

However here is the info from the same source that Lucy used earlier (and if Lucy used it, it has to be good )

Bolivia 12.2 63 16.2 28 8.5
50 Uruguay 12.1 43 20.0 61 5.2
United States

As you can see the US is tied for 50th in suicide rate with Uruguay
See if you can follow the process .
Add the US murder rate of 3.9 to the suicide rate of 12.1 and you get 16.
Are you able to follow that?
This combined rate of 16 has us tied at 29th with Mawali's suicide rate alone.
And just as I said there are over twenty countries whose suicide rate alone exceeds this and several of them are in Europe.

You need to learn that just because you don't like something doesn't make it a lie.

You also need to learn to do some basic caculations without and adult holding your hand and walking you trough it.

Bud....I'm not bright enough to use a smartphone yet (I'm learning....had one 3 years ago....hated it....tossed it...switched back to my "flip phone"....now....as of 3 weeks ago...I'm a fan...but again....learning) or for that matter, send my Mom a birthday card without my secretary handing it to me a week prior and reminding me "it's next Tuesday Boss....don't forget....and I have reservations for you at thus and so at 8:30....your Mom has been notified that you'll pick her up at 8:15....".

I haven't balanced a check book in 30 some years (and frankly....wouldn't have the feintest clue how to do so), paid a mortgage bill, electricity bill or even signed a check in probably nearly as long.

I'm the LEAST competent human I've EVER met!

(But I can sell ice cream to an Eskimo....in a snow storm....and in the LEAST popular flavors).

So....trying to emasculate me.....well....ya kinda dropped the ball on that one Skippy :)

But I can cover a check for a (very nice) new car, a small 3 bedroom rambler without calling the bank and, make the down on a multimillion dollar commercial property out of cash flow by Thursday simply because I desire it to be so.

So....keep it going bub.....you have a ways to go before you hurt my feelings.

(I'll give you another shot....but....seriously....come on.....please put your best efforts in to it).

(K?)

hahahahaha I just came back to my computer so this was wasted on your part.
As for attempting to insult someone you called me a liar because there wasn't a source that did your thinking for you .
I don't come here to trde insults but to discuss ideas.
I see that since my point about 28 countries having a higher suicide rate than we have as a combined muder/suicide rate, and that several of those counties are in Europe + ,of course, Japan you want to pretend to be unaffected but abused.

PS but there is no site to confirm that I was asleep.

Clearly it was something that wouldn't be on any site but you would think that even Jethro Boudine could follow it.

And I like the fact that he quotes Thompson Bama................They really DO make a fine double. The bumptious guiding the clueless.

Was my assesment that hard to follow?
Clearly it was something that wouldn't be on any site but you would think that even Jethro Boudine could follow it.


Just a suggestion here, but I'm not sure that it's helping the cause that Southerners are not quite as stupid as Hollywood and less intelligent Yankees (who think movies and TV are real) make them out to be by your continual use of outsized stereotypes concocted for that very purpose.

Since I was comparing Jethro favorably to the Yankees. BTW Jethro was from MO.

And furthermore, Jim Nabors was actually from Alabama, but moved to Cali due to health reasons.

But, honestly, have you ever heard anybody from the south who talked like he did on TV?

I haven't. Ever heard "shazayum!" from any r/l southerner? I haven't. The incessant "gollee!" maybe 2-3 times in my whole life, that when I was a kid. Though it's entirely possible I might be confusing myself with fuzzy memory in the latter instance. I might never have actually heard that myself. Which just goes to show . . .

He was a paid actor who did the job as the Hollywood writers and producers and directors demanded of him, at good pay. Who wouldn't?

Yes, and along with Gomer, using a Hollywood standard of dumbshittedness as way station for that estimation.

You, BTW, are not a born southerner, so there's that.

No, I have never heard any real southerner talk like that.
I am reminded of Jeff Foxworthy who when he finished he first screen test was asked if he could do a "real" southern accent.

Yep, to think that I would care about opinion of any of Gomers followers.

Why would he do that? His claim was that there were over 20 countries with a higher suicide rate than the combined suicide and murder rate in the US. There were 28. I'm not the best at math, but I can tell that 28 is greater than 20.

The next claim he made was that several (which means "more than two, but not many") were European countries. Let's see....
Latvia? Check.
Poland? Check.
Ukraine? Check.
Belarus? Check.
Hungary? Check.
Kazakhstan? Check.
Lithuania? Check.

That makes 7 countries that are in Europe (yes, I had to look it up; I was surprised some of these were not in Asia). I suppose the only way you might be able to argue he was wrong is by claiming that 7 out of 28 is more than several, but that would be nit-picking.
