Pelosi wants comprehensive gun violence debate that is based on evidence, and not anecdote.
The House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi (D), was speaking on Fox News Sunday on the issue of gun violence in America. Interviewer Chris Wallace brought up the role of video games and asked Pelosi why she doesn't get her Hollywood friends to "stop the video games."

Your Prime Minister is great and you are right even my family has contemplated moving to Australia and getting away from the Obama/Reid/Biden/Pelosi clan.

Sure. But Oz is not for you... I think you'd be better off moving to the 1800s.
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

I don't think you have a say in the matter nor do you know what is better for me. Maybe you should move to the US you might fit in well here.

Rest assured, I don't have a say in the matter. But if you don't like it in the US for the reasons you stated... you would absolutely hate it here, I guarantee. So much so, I thought you were being sarcastic before. Even the Yanks I know getting Aussie citizenship and buying houses here are doing it because they like the thriving hybrid economy and are escaping your luna-right. And we despise smug arrogant Yanks with a passion... we call them "Septics" (true). I think you have the wrong country, we are tantamount to communists according to your standards (and proud of it)... you must have meant Austria.
EDIT: No offence to Austrians, you have a beautiful country.

Not my term. Like I said, laissez faire ideologues would naturally see us as filthy commies. Try somewhere else, maybe some third-world country.

When I was young we had more guns in our homes. They were not locked up and we had ammo with the guns. They could be picked up and used in a pinch. We had children around but they were taught to respect the guns and use them safely. We had no problems like we do today were there are less homes with guns so what has changed?
Could it be that kids are brought up will less respect? Could it be that children are brought up with no boundaries? Could it be the Entitlement attitude prevalent today? Could it be our more then ever a socialistic society? Could it be all of the less than desirable people we invite into our country? Could it be over sensationalized by the media as it is still a very small number compared to other death rates?
What I can tell you is it isn't the guns and that is a fact, it's our society and the way people are today.
I personally prefer freedom at any price and freedom like every other way comes at a price.
Less respect, less boundaries, more attitude:
'cos the last generations grow up "without parents" 'cos women work to be as equal as men, single parents, etc. and kids nannies are the TV, video games, etc. No a real parenthood guidelines and kids grow up trusting no-one or hardly any-one.
More socialistic:
Kids look at us as a materialistic machines, etc.
Immigration issues:
Immigrants came to work hard for minimum wages and do jobs that American Citizens do not want to do.
1rs. Generation Immigrants are good 'cos they have the illusion to get ahead no matter how hard it will be or how long it will take. They do not forget where came from, so they have an identity, but not an American-Identity.
2nd. Generation Immigrants are the basters, confused, rebels, etc. They born on the line, they are not a "real Americans" but also they are not from where their parents where from: (Re-negates)
+3rd. Generation Immigrants are the winners. They have an America-Identity and are mentally stables to be wherever they want to be.
Death related Issues:
Yes, we are more each day and less people die from simple deceases that kill many on the past centuries.
To summarize all:
This U.S. Government way to deal with mass-murders and blame Video-Games is the most stupid way to deal with the real problem (The Govt. Itself). But we all know that the Govt. like to play mind games & lie; divide & confuse people in order to keep the power over us.
Live Free or Die.
The rule above all the rules is: Survive !
Capitalism: Funnel most of the $$$ to the already rich.

Government, Schools, and parenting.... Are the big problems today. I love it because my kids or my sisters kid, everyone that meets them go wow you kids are well mannered, respectful and they work hard, seems to be uncommon these days unfortunately.
You made good points and there are more of course.....

Back to the jokes again I see. We are far from a Democracy although that might be the image they would like to portray.

Democracy is not perfect or ideal... it is a work in progress... it has been for millennia and always will be. I feel I'm reasoning with a spoilt brat.

Nothing in life is "Democracy is not perfect or ideal..." I don't think your "feel" is on point. Actually you are way off, kind of what I've danced around prior... But there is truly no point to continue this path further either is there.

I understand that democracy does not fit your naive "utopian" vision. I know I'm bang on point but trying to remain as civil as I can... so I used the words "I feel".
I should also have put the words "perfect" and "ideal" in quotes but I overestimated your ability to read things in context... my bad.
