Nelson_Mandela 08/05/19 4:25:51 PM #307:	So it seems like the reason why gun violence is so high in the US is because: 1). It's baked into our colonial culture 2).

Jakyl25 08/05/19 4:38:22 PM #310:	Cultures as an ephemeral concept have no right to exist divorced from the people who comprise them. This is the same argument I used to have with Vlado all the time. Yes, PRESERVING culture is important, but there is no inherent value in PERPETUATING cultures like the core of his beliefs dictates. Honestly I think step 1 in a million step process towards moving our culture away from glorifying gun violence is Splatoon. Same great gameplay that comes from a well-crafted shooter, but completely non-violent. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large <cite>Jakyl25 posted [p:925664205] in Politics C...

We have very liberal gun laws #2 is a natural (and Constitutional) right, so nothing will change there. So the only way to stop gun violence then is a massive cultural sea change. I have no idea how to go about doing that. I don't think "colonial" is the right term here- we don't see this in other British colonies. But we need to address the hopelessness and lack of opportunity so many people see in this country. This is something the New Deal actually got right (although it poisoned a lot of our republican (small r) institutions). People got a chance to improve their lot in life through work. And when they got paid, they could invest their earnings - the stock market had just fallen 89%, real estate had crashed, there was lots of opportunity to invest. Nowadays, even as the job market has come back, there is nowhere good to invest - the stock market is at record highs having recovered from the 2008 crash very quickly, before the common man got back on his feet. The government tries to force people to invest in stocks by lowering interest rates to the point where there's no point to investing in anything else. I think Trump can see the problem and hopefully he will have the wisdom, with our Republican members of Congress, to take action. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:925664217] in Politics C...

His take matches up with other reporting on it I've seen in WaPo, etc. with the added opinions/analysis of economists saying that it's market forces pushing China's currency down right now, not China themselves. China simply stopped resisting those forces when Trump decided to throw more tariffs at them last week and let it drop below the level they were forcing it above. but i have no idea about any of this personally, but i defer to their expertise --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:925675612] in Politics C...

His take matches up with other reporting on it I've seen in WaPo, etc. with the added opinions/analysis of economists saying that it's market forces pushing China's currency down right now, not China themselves.
