Is it a case of "Look! They claim to be better than us, but they're just as bad"? Is it that deep-rooted sense of American insecurity that makes you such a loud and overcompensating country? Or is it just an attempt to make yourselves look better by showing that others are worse? Because on that level, this amounts to one kid getting told off for stealing pens, and then trying to distract attention by saying "But mummmy, Billy Bunsen stole some pens and a magazine last week."
The kid got 6 years in youth detention. As far as I can see, he's been appropriatly puncihed for a wicked crime. What else is there to say? (apart from that subject heading really should read "Mum", not "Ma".)

So your saying that if the kid tried to stab her and failed, then it doesn't matter as much, and he should have gotten a more lenient sentence? It doesn't matter that his intention was to stab her, it just matters that he succeeded?
Why does that make no sense?

Over here recently there has been a rash of incidents at CHILDREN'S games ... but not by the little-leaguers ... but by their folks ...
Have you guys heard of this? A parent whose kid is losing have ATTACKED and KILLED the parents of the kid who is beating their own child. I think the most notable case was at a baseball game a few months back -- ? Some dude's kid got struck out, so he killed the pitcher's dad? I'm not sure, it was something STUPID like that.
But this is the society we live in. If you cut someone off on the road, you could be killed. If your kid strikes out some other guy's kid, you could be killed. If you try and get your kid to go to music lessons, he'll kill his music teacher.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

Actually, I suspect its a demonstration of America's superiority over most things English. Let's see, USA 2, England 0. Uh, World War One? Two? Geez, you guys still owe us millions from both of those wars. Maybe if you'll just pay up you'll feel better about yourself. Living up to one's obligations usually helps raise self-esteem. If anyone is overcompensating for their insecurity I'd say its the English continually criticizing the USA in an attempt to conceal her own inferiority. Let's face it, England is living in the past. She is not now, nor ever will be a true, dominant world power again. So, the best she can do is bash the one remaining superpower. Nice try. [Ok, satiric mode "off].
Let's be honest: there is violence in every country. You can't escape it. As a teacher myself, I can relate many instances of violent students OF ALL NATIONALITIES committing crimes. Be realistic, please. And, the simple fact that someone posted a thread about a violent act in one country should not necessarily imply an attack upon that country. Your response, however, did, hence mine.
PS. What's that about that United Nations report of a few weks back stating that violent hate crimes in England against minorities are on the rise? Oh wait, forget I said that. I'm just overcompensating. The moral of the story? No country is perfect, so let's both stop pretending.

God bless ignorance. It's really the best excuse. Plus, you can use it over and over again.
Therefore the reference to miniscule genetalia was alluding towards the fact that I thought you were exitedly defensive about the US and such, leading me to believe that you were being defensive due to a lack of proper ballage.
I'm sorry I just blurted out shit. (It did get attention, though. Maybe I should do that during class.)

Now lets clarify. We of the UK, Australia, Canada (etc) do not feel inherently superior to the USA. What bogs us off is the fact that you lot (read: USA) tend to act like the be all and end all of right and wrong, be it economically, militarily or otherwise. We'd like to point out that as places to live, most places in Europe (West) and definitely Australian & Canada are as good as or better than the USA. In our humble opinion, of course.

First: "I know this because once, I was on a boat, and I saw a duck. This was no ordinary duck it had a red beak. I took a picture, and a month later when I got it developed, I bumped into My old High School Physics teacher. He looked fine, except for that moustache of his that kinda looks the handle bars on a bike. When I was 7 I got a bike for Christmas. What's the deal with Christmas, anyway? My Birthday is not 'Farquarmas'. So, in the end, that's why I insult anybody's country other than my own at any chance I get, even when the discussion's about pancakes. If Pancakes are cakes made in a pan, why don't they have Icing? So, My answer is D. Doogie Howser, M.D. Oh, and England sucks because they pay taxes on Gasoline, which is why the boy stabbed his music teacher. That and that all Enlglish people have rabies and talk funny."

Both sides see themselves as being superior. Both sides are at least partly right. Both sides are also partly wrong.
The US has a violence problem. This can hardly be doubted... but it isn't the lunatic asylum that the others like to pretend it is. Many of its crime rates are lower. As I said before, it's the smug, holier-than-thou nose-in-the-air attitude we so often see from non USA'ers when discussing this subject that is being poked at here. The fact is, to use a colloquialism, YOU AIN'T PERFECT, NEITHER.
Each has good points, each has bad. As to which is truly superior, perhaps only time will tell.

My roomate is a stupid, often-drunk, country-listening, non-cleaning, non-choring redneck ... kill him now ...
I love the fact that the arguments now turned to "well, you smell too, so nyah!". We (being the non-US part) get upset at the fact that the US seems scared and afraid of people who say "trousers", use "petrol" measure things using "meters" and eat "courgettes". When it's pointed out to the US that maybe, just maybe, their constant need to prove themselves is due to a deep-rooted insecurity over the fact that they have a very short history, and, like the new kid in class, they feel complelled to shout a lot and pick on everyone else. But, no, wait, suddenly it's "the UK has a problem! All you English people are paranoid, and snobby! You hate us! We're just as bad as kids stab people and stuff! You don't even wear pants that are 9 sizes to big. And you all have short hair and you shave. You're gay!"
"Geez, you guys still owe us millions from both of those wars. Maybe if you'll just pay up you'll feel better about yourself. Living up to one's obligations usually helps raise self-esteem."
True. Glad to see that we have to pay for keeping back the Germans while you lot had your nails done. (Do you know that the UK is still paying back France for damage it did while saving them from the Germans? Go figure...)
It's a nice idea though. Maybe if all those nasty third world people stopped sitting around being lazy and dying, and maybe worked a bit, they'd be able to pay off some of that money they owe you. I'm sure the self-esteem will help them when they're fighting maleria.
"Let's face it, England is living in the past. She is not now, nor ever will be a true, dominant world power again. So, the best she can do is bash the one remaining superpower. Nice try. [Ok, satiric mode "off]."
First, that wasn't sarcasm. Sarcasm would be "ooh, I love England. It's soooo modern. Don't they teach you elemantary humour these days?
Two, why is England living in the past? It is because we only have 5 TV channels without cable? Or because some of us actually use buses rather than driving everywhere? Or is it because we still say horribly outdated words like "freshmen", or "black sheep", or "arse-fucker"?
You know, at least half of our TV shows have been made in widescreen for about 3 years now. Nyah!
Oh, and third, announcing that you've got the biggest house in the street, and then saying "you're just jealous, cause our house is bigger, and you'll never have a house as big as our house. Which is big." isn't convincing me that the US isn't insecure. Not in the slightest.
"And, the simple fact that someone posted a thread about a violent act in one country should not necessarily imply an attack upon that country."
I never said it was an attack. I thought it was someone pointing out that the UK was "as bad as" the US, to ease their own insecurities.
Look, how often do the Brits post stuff like "American sets fire to his parents!". How often do the Aussies post "Canadian child sacrifices his brother to moon-god!"? I never said that the UK was perfect. I never said that Australia was perfect. We all have our faults. We just get less hysterical over them than you lot seem to.
"As I said before, it's the smug, holier-than-thou nose-in-the-air attitude we so often see from non USA'ers when discussing this subject that is being poked at here. "
Actually, that's EXACTLY what the non-USers are doing too.
You really think we're like that? To be honest, most of us don't care. The only argue because:
a/ we hope that you might entertain the possibilty that other countries do things in other ways to you. THIS ISN'T AUTOMATICALLY WRONG.
b/ it's dead funny winding you lot up. Granted, humour doesn't often translate well to type, but some of you wouldn't know "wit" if it came up and shoved a car up your arse.
c/ At the rate he's going, Omega's head will soon be able to block out the sun. This is very serious, as plants rely on the sun for photosynthesis, and since plants are the basis of our food chain, if they die, we die. So, it's in our best interests to prick Omega's head as often as possible. If we don't, then someone will have to kill him.
Oh, and one final gem from Omega...
"Of course you think I'm annoying. I can prove you wrong.
PLEASE tell me that smile means you're being sarcastic. Please?
"But at least I'm interested in finding the truth. Too bad I can't find an opponent who is as well...

Sorry, I've had to go and have a lie down. That was too funny. I was going to post something bitchy about "not so much finding the truth, as finding things that agree with his POV, and then sticking his fingers in his ears singing "laa-laa not listening laa-laa", but I'm afraid I'm going to have to lie down again. Jeez, my eyes are watering to the point where my contact lenses have fallen out...

I can't believe how immature some people are in here. GUYS -- who cares what country we live in? I'm sure all of us wish for aspects of our own country mingled in with aspects of another.
Myself, I wish public transportation was utilized more here in the northern Baltimore area (and in the general D.C./Baltimore area as well) because, quite frankly, TRAFFIC HERE SUCKS. People can't drive. They run red lights, use a one lane road as two lanes, honk your horn at you b/c you're going to slow even though you're already going 30 miles OVER the speedlimit!
I wish more bars around here were called pubs! The only local "pub" is McShae's down towards the harbor.
I wish our crime situation was closer to what Japan has. As in: almost nonexistant. I wish I felt safe walking in certain sections of Baltimore at night (hell, in daytime I'm scared).
I wish a lot of my friends hadn't done too many drugs, and gone into rehab. I wish some of them didn't think it was ok to get slapped around by their boyfriends (girlfriend, in one case).
I wish I didn't have to hear "so-so is such a horrible person" everytime a political ad comes on the TV.
I wish people would stopping throwing the cost of World War II around. England owes us money? Stupid. England gave us (when I say "us", I mean the Allies -- the U.S., Canada, the Free forces of exiled governments, etc, etc, (where Australian forces used in Europe, or only in the Pacific?)) the best opportunity to get into Europe and stop that madman. Do none of you realize what a threat Hitler was? We all paid the cost in blood, and Great Britain did that the longest (speaking of which, the French are being real pricks if they expect the Brits to pay them back for damage inflicted during the invasion, IMHO).
Could we all grow up please?
On that note: how the British drive on the wrong side of the road is a total mystery to me ... but, hey, most of their cars are manual transmission instead of this prissy automatic, so its all good!

Please, Omega old chap, pull your head out of your arse and take a look at the world. It looks and smells a lot better than what you're currently staring at.
Failing that, you can continue to ignore other people's opinions/advice, and convince yourself that you are, indeed, the dog's bollocks. Which you are. But only at licking.
Your status-line is very apt. By my reckoning, you should be about as humble as a hare who has just come in second place after losing to a tortiose. There are lots of people on these forums who are smarter, older, more experienced, and better shaggers than you. Listen to them. And by listen, I mean listen. I don't mean "read, then quote selected bits". Okay? Because otherwise you're going to find out that people far less nice than UM are going to want to prick that pompous little head of yours.

But the chances of me getting IRC aren't good, especially at a time when everyone could go.
But quickly:
"For you see, I understand rationality. You apparently do not. I respond to the points you make. You do not respond to mine. I want to find the truth. You've already made up your mind that what I have to say is utter crap, without giving your reasons. I have evidence on my side. You have naught but faulty reasoning."
Now, just imagine that this is, oh, I don't know, an evolution debate. Now, imagine it's gone on for about 134 posts. I can see about 5 people saying that exact same thing to Omega as he's just said to me.
"Tell me: which one of us seems more intelligent, eh?"
Oh, you might very well be more intelligent. I've never made any claims to having a huge IQ. Hell, it's taken me until I'm 21 to actually get to university. So yeah, you might be more intelligent. Doesn't stop you from being an arrogant twat though.
"I'm calling you out. Actual, moderated debate. Chat room. Name your time and moderator."
Sorry, for a minute there it seemed like I was in the old West. Are we settling this mano a mano?
"I personally suggest Charles, but that's just me. IRC seems like the best venue, but ICQ might work better. Pick one. Just so long as it's someone I know. Your slander ends NOW."
Oooh, I'm weally, weally scwared.
to First: "Oh, BTW, you'd be a good mod, too."
I'm really glad you've climbed out of his butt, y'know.
Getting Daryus to moderate it would be a bit unfair. Charles no doubt doesn't care. And if we picked First, I'd have to wade through a sea of dribble to get there. Unless you kept your toungue where it belongs.
But, there's a far more important reason not to do it. I actually don't care enough. I'm not going to waste my time looking up loads of pointless facts about a subject that doesn't interest me just for you to ignore them all.
