absolutly
It isn't necessarily the violence or sexuality that makes us imitate it, like why I mentioned Schindler's list above. Nobody saw that movie and tried to oppress Jews (lol, the Passion... lol.... I honestly just thought of that...).
Without getting too in depth, seeing violence as a form of conflict resolution, where an attractive hero kills people and never has to worry about the consequences of his actions, in some way legitimizes that action for ourselves. It has to do with the way our brain understands the actions and motives of others and its inability to distinguish from moving picture and reality.
But ya, darker, but honestly, less childhood exposure to murder. Of course its only 1 in 10000000 (whatever) kids that goes crazy from seeing cartoon violence, however it does predispose certain responses to certain situations.

Everyone´s different and is talented in some way thats what most young people don´t know. If you don´t fit into "the" mould your a looser sort of scenario.
thats the perspective of ugly un-talented people 😛

I know you're not forcing anything. You are however, being nosy and boorish by criticizing things about my country. I don't criticize Canada. I love Canada, actually. You shouldn't criticize something unless you're prepared to change it. And since you don't believe in forcing a way of life on another country, you can't do that anyway. So do us all a favor and stop talking.
Excuse me, I have as much right to post my opinion on here as you do.
And I was asked to criticize it, perhaps you should read the title of the thread again.

wow, what a nicely made extreme straw man argument.It is funny that that when you make assanine comments like:
It is understandable, but if I imply one back, completely inexcusable for me to do. Clearly I have overstepped the bounds of decorum by insinuating that your ideal of society being more important than the individuals that make it is leftist.
Look, the fact that you can so quickly say "This is what society is and this is how it works" shows that you are either completely unread on the history of political philosophy, or so ideologically committed to one point of view that you might as well be.
Thats a pretty impressive diatribe, now why not address my points on health care? You don't pay taxes, true, instead you pay high insurance costs in a system that is grossly mismanaged. And as I said if a person in the US gets seriously ill, they can be bankrupted by the medical expenses.
And another point you skipped over, what about the people in society that cannot take care of themselves? The disabled and mentally impaired? Those born into poverty? Should they just die? No, we have a moral and in Canada thankfully a legal obligation to pay taxes to help not just ourselves but society as a whole.

It doesn't give them the right to do what they are doing. Canada's criminal justice system is still mostly a mess. But they have done great things in improving their civil court system and have been extremely receptive to native requests in the past. We gave them their own province. I think we can say we are trying, it's time for them to have some faith and work within the rules.
Chavs,high immigration with too many polish and africans putting a strain on housing,healthcare and unemployment,the majority of ****ed up inner city black youths killing each other,Hip Hop turning 75% of teenagers into total ****ing arseholes,dreams of a multicultural society that have gone totally ****ing pear shaped,asian youths who think they are the shit,white kids who think that they are living the life of a Grand Theft Auto character "24/7",indentikit city centres,feeling a minority in your own country,englishmen in baseball caps,the image of my city that was the influence on the sound of many a Smiths track being turned into something resembling an Afican township and PRIMARK!!
that kind of thing

Well compared to America from what I know the Indians have quite a good deal going on.
Why is the criminal justice system a mess?

Sentences are to mild, the young offenders act is a joke, too much attention is paid to the rights of the criminal, and as I think the entire GDF knows I support capital punishment.
