Hapsburg said:J.B, again, this thread isn't about race. Stop making it about it.
If you can't discuss the actual topic propery, then just don't post.

The Marquis said:...30 white kids chasing a black kid .....it would have made the news as a hate crime, the white kids would have been villified as racists and faced retribution as such.
The Marquis said:I don't believe we live in times in which the potential for violence is greater than in the past, Baron.
The Marquis said:...light penalties and bleeding heart liberals have ensured that violence is not only common, but almost acceptable...
Indeed. That, though, is getting into something which has been done to death here on these forums (or should have been) and with the usual lack of result.Baron Max said:Exactly. And it's what I call the sensationalism of the news media ...they play up such incidents in order to sell more papers or more advertising.
I retract my comment about the level of violence - I think you might be right here. I've been thinking of starting a thread on the relationship between western society and the availability of fossil fuels - but I'll get to that when I'm ready (or, being more truthful - can be bothered to organise my thoughts on it). It has bearing on this issue. So does the carrying capacity of Earth itself, and the effect that has on society.... I could delve into a wide range of topics hereWell, if nothing more than the increased number of people living in ever-closer contact, the level of violence is greater in sheer numbers. But I also think that the RATE of crime is higher now than in the past ...and that, too, is probably due to the huge numbers of people and their proximity to others.
Yes. Another question - is Western society evolving or devolving - and is there any difference between the two? Evolution being the natural guarantee of survival of the species - which is more advantageous from a particular point of view? can you see the correlation?Oh, you KNOW that I believe that!! A woman in Houston drowns each of her four kids, one after the other, systematically, and the jury finds her INNOCENT ...by reason of insanity. Of course anyone who'd do such a thing is "insane", but what does that have to do with her horrid crime? The state is now trying to decide if they should spend the money to try her again?!?!?

Roman said:I'm not sure how the stats were compiled, to be honest. I'm looking at this nice little table here in a book I just got.
However, the man who compiled them was a criminologist named Manuel Eisner.
Any way you want to cut it, though, homocide has decreased as we've become more civilized.
