Really? Who has the more violent society? America or England? The proof is in the pudding.
I’ve got to say the US has more than enough laws, that is not the problem. It is the most legalistic country on earth, where crossing a road other than at a crossing is a crime.

Well that's sick. In the US, posting that on Twitter could get you a ban, but not an arrest. If I knew somebody who did something like that in real life, I would shun him. Shunning is an appropriate response to jerks.

Yeah, can’t disagree. I wonder if different countries have different rules for crime and punishment? It might make the constant whinging that occurs every time Americans hear about someone being jailed for crimes not on the books in their country - oh, I don’t really know where I’m going with this. It’s late and I’ll finish this sentence tomo

Part of the issue is elected Prosecutors and judges, leading to competition that sees punishment get ever worse.

Up to snuff? You mean breaking the law? Yes: that how laws and crime work.

Obviously.

Right, we are going to make sure you have proper decorum and we will be authoritarian enough to make sure you do what we want. Cause if you dont we will create a law to make sure you think and talk how we want you to or we will toss you in prison. Starting to sound an awful lot like something Hitler and Stalin would support wholeheartedly.

I didn't know Christian Nationalism was about racism and anti semitism. Maybe we have different definitions.

Yes we have more violent crime in America. But America does not support that or hold it as a good thing. We are constantly talking about what to do about it. But if you want to talk about gun control start a different thread. This one is about tossing people in prison because of a meme.

And since you seem to support that sort of thing you haven't defended why you think that is acceptable. It seems you fully support an authoritarian response to making people think and talk in the way you think they should. Prison is for them. You might want to read the book 1984.

Your posts read just like what's written there.

It sounds like you don't really know the difference yourself since you seem to tell the difference between things like anti-Semitism (which is a leftist thing), racism and sociological theories. Quick to the re-education camp for you!

You have a tiny country. Take away our drug and gang culture and the violence would be cut down considerably...and we have enough stupid laws. The problem is our laws aren't well enforced by liberal judges and lawyers. Plus they cut the police force after the BLM riot's

What is offensive? Anything that anyone finds offensive, which is literally everything. We don't need more stupid laws, we need less.
Yes. This country with people all riled up over "CRT!" and "grooming!"

Hmm. Wonder why USA, with its sink-or-swim nihilisitic bootstraps ethic, is the country with far worse gang culture than than the more lefty country we're comparing to?

You could argue that with freedom comes the consequences of freedom. I bet North Korea doesn't have gang wars either. But who would want to live under tyranny? You can't even carry a pocket knife in England I'm told.

I am reminded of the English king Canute who believed that he could control the sea. So he stood at the sea shore as the tide came in and commanded the sea to stay where it was. When the water got up to his neck, he decided that he couldn't control the sea after all.

The role of the Christian believer is not to change the world. It is to preach the Gospel and make disciples for Christ. The power of the Gospel is not for changing the evils of our society but to bring salvation to those who believe the Gospel and embrace Christ. When Paul went to Corinth, he didn't try to change the nature of that pagan city. He preached the Gospel and won people to Christ one at a time until there was an established church there.

In the UK they are 100% free to tell everybody how tyrannized they feel. And Ive been there too. Its not a "tyranny". In fact youre breaking the word in an attempt to make your point.

N Korea. Now thats a tyranny.

And yet the left is working extremely hard to change create a society in America where you can be punished for your opinions.
Like anything else expressing opinions have consequences and if one is choosing to engage in hate speech and a swastika made of pride flags certainly qualifies as hate speech then one should expect consequences.

Always such a shame when that higher standard includes shooting each others faces off when they slightly annoy each other. Maybe there could be some way of avoiding Americans annoying and killing each other?

A law, perhaps?
We can’t all drive lorries into crowds in protest.
