Age has nothing to do with it. She has been throwing around some big assumptions but those assumptions aren't necessarily false, just distorted. You have never lived in the inner city so you have no idea what it is like in there. You are also not experienced enough to make a good judgment on the issue.

I am pretty sure that drop in IQ points is from the "chronic" you like so much and not from me slapping you in the face with the reality of your crime ridden nation.

Freshness, aren't you like 18 or something? Or at least early college years? You have to have at least have 10 years (better that it be 2x other person's age) before you can play the age card.

Because of her age, I would personally work towards approaching things from offering other evidence to refute the opinion that she's clinging to. Much like dealing with other adults, she may never change that opinion, but the opportunity here is to allow her to learn to think critically, a skill too few teenagers have.

Here we go, insults again. You don't know crap about the US, so I won't even consider anything you say valid.

And by the way, I've graduated high school, been in college. Ducky has no idea what collge is like. That is all self discipline, all making your own decisions. It's all on you. It really opens your eyes to the world. I am 19, still young but I know so much more than a 16 year old. I am independent, have been paying my way since I was 17 as a senior. I am not omniscient, but I AM more experienced than her. It is tiring to see her completely degrade the US as a crime ridden nation. Who else here thinks that? I think very very little think the way she thinks.

Apparently neither do you so I guess nothing you say is any more valid than what I say concerning america.

Watch it, bub. You know more than THAT 16-year-old. You probably do know more than me too, honestly, but I'm not appreciative of generalizations on intelligence/experience based on age, because theyre ALWAYS bullshit and ALWAYS have exceptions.

That would be a major statement of Bullshit in and of itself....

Yes, yes, merc, we get it, you are biased, bigoted, and discriminatory against everyone under the age of 20. We get it, now just shut UP already.

Ummmm no. I can't remember the last time I did something a teen told me to do... ok, like about 40 years ago when I was like 10 years old or something.... But it really has been a long time since some teeny bopper had a leg up.. I mean really kid, just move along.

Keep sticking your hand in the cage and expect to be bitten, I'm just saying... :rolleyes:

Because? Give me supporting evidence, other than I'm a killer civilian, like the rest of us Americans.

All Americans are cold blooded killers, didn't you hear?

Supporting evidence for what? I haven't yet seen you post anything to make me believe you know what you are talking about concerning crime in your country.

Honestly ducky, even if the cellar people here do agree with your gun ban on America you are biasing all of us in America to an exponential degree and that is what really pisses the shit out of me. You've lived here a coupla years, right? And you went back to the utopia of Hong Kong, that's great. But you still don't know what America is like, you still don't understand media in America, you still don't know WHY guns ARE NOT banned here and you still don't understand how to break down someone's arguement, likewise mine. You can give me the stats and all but it does not make America a killer country. The culture is different here than in Hong Kong. You want to know why I'm really pissed? Because you are NOT accepting of American culture, ONE BIT. You are telling us to completely throw away values of a developed culture for your simple and ignorant viewpoint on the world.

I am an immigrant just like you and I love this country. This country let my family emigrate here and prosper. But for you to totally condem people and society in this country is totally unfair, ignorant and downright wrong of you. That is a huge insult to me and the USA.

You can say whatever bullshit response you want to say but I am not listening. And I bet you 10 to 1 the other dwellars here are not listening to your rampant bullshit on crime ridden America anymore.

Hong Kong ain't no Utopia. Now I have not been there since 1987 but it really is no different from any other cities. Ok, I take that back, for an American it is very exotic. Nothing like the US.

Nice speech but it doesn't change the fact your country is full of violent crime and you have as yet to refute that. Instead you go off on rants about how you are insulted and how you being a 19 year old college boy somehow makes you know what you are talking about. Is that how they teach you to have a discussion at your university? I think you should ask for your tuition back if it is.
