    What a waste. He should have taken Denise Richards:P (when they were still married) and moved to idk where...away from Hollywood.

    Living on a ranch in southern California with Denise & kids, doing the occasional movie....sounds good to me....

    Criminal Weapons

    in Current Events and Topical discussion

    I don`t know if strict and wide-ranging gun prohibition laws such as the ones here in Germany actually serve to make this a safer place as far as gun use by criminals is concerned. Criminal elements always seem to have no shortage of illegal weapons, though many are never used.

    But I can tell you that a government policy of almost total disarmament of the populace will over generations lead to that same populace having an abnormal and distorted view of guns, their use, and even personnel regularly involved with both. Playing this card the right way has influenced voting behaviour in the past and thus international policy - the majority of ppl here would rather hide in their closets and leave all conflict to others. They have been more or less told "Guns mean violence and violence is bad. Guns mean you may have to decide if deadly force is justified or not. You are not to think yourself qualified to make that decision under any circumstances. Only the government is allowed to have weapons." An arrogant point of view, even if originally well-intended. The result now is a population incapable of defending itself in everyday life, and willing to tolerate almost any kind of "misbehaviour" in the rest of the world if the alternative is going in using force.

    If this was San Marino....that would probably be ok.

    But this is one of the top ten global economic players.

    So decide for yourself if this is better than the american way.

    Pirates Of Somalia

    Those Somalis want to be pirates because they think the gain outweighs the risk? Fine.

    Then we should treat them accordingly. Use submarines for surveillance, surface, tape it when they throw weapons and ammo overboard (thus admitting they ARE pirates), then use whatever weapon seems appropiate to destroy their ship. Hundreds of miles off the coast it`s not even necessary to prevent them from jumping overboard before that happens.

    Then dive again. It`s really quite simple to get rid of them.

     

    This problem is there only because the rest of the world is quite lazy about security.

    17 Victims Sue Pentagon Over "Plague" Of Sexual Violence

    Militaries are essentially predatory societies within societies, created by men originally. Aggression is a needed quality - and so it`s not always the most "balanced" people who are attracted to the service.

    As long as women are generally unable to meet force (from men) with equal force, this will happen again and again.

    Short of having unlimited surveillance in all installations and have female troops carry a gun at any time everywhere else, I don`t know what could stop it.

     

    Great though you're trying to help, Karen. Hope it doesn`t get all bogged down with endless blahblah in court or in hearings and commissions....
