    Whereas in Canada the situation is reversed, and the rich people have the feeling that the government doesn't care about them, and in fact is robbing them and throwing the money into the air.

      Rich people can take care of themselves. If they couldn't they wouldn't be rich; they'd be poor.

        Maybe we should have a proportional system for crimes introduced (similar to tax system).

        If you steal 20$ from a poor person it's grand theft. If you steal 10 000$ from a rich person it's petty larceny...

            That's why we should have an emigration tax.

              We should have a large immigration tax.

                Oh, BTW: the murder rate for whites in the US is also a hell of a lot higher than it is for whites up here. It may only be 2 or 3 times as much instead of the overall 4 or 5 times as much for the US, but do you mind explaining that?
                If true, that's the magnifying effect. Once violent crime rises in comparison to another people, more people in the more violent culture see it as part of life (de-sensitised) and it doesn't take long for violence to increase in other groups. Of course, I believe the primary factor - the catalyst - is the drug war just as alcohol prohibition was the catalyst for the gang warfare during the 20's.

                Frogger -
                I disagree with this point, but it's hard to see how come you're attacking him for agreeing with you.
                I criticised him for the hypocrisy of blaming the white gun culture while paying at most lip service to Hollywood and the gangsta culture.

                    Yeah, it sure is. That way you could invade someone's house in Hollywood and steal $100,000 and get 20 hours of community service.

                            Theft is theft is theft. I thought socialism was all about equal treatment, but every day it seems to be just about stealing from the rich and giving to the poor under the veil of equality.

                              Then why does the law have different penalties depending on how much you take?

                                That wasn't the point. Don't argue semantics, silly.
