The moral decline in U.S. and Canadian
society really began to take off after 1960
with the "liberal" revolution. Things have been
going down hill at a seemingly
accelerated pace ever since. Today for our youth
the scene is sex, drugs, rock and roll--crime and
violence. We have moved from Christianity to humanism
and now to nihilism.

You can read all about it in The Bell Curve, Slouching
Towards Gomorrah or many other fine books. Sun Media columnist
Michael Harris puts his finger on what is wrong with our
society in this short essay "Blame spreads far and wide"
i.e. from Bill Clinton and Hollywood to dysfunctional families.

Here's the recipe:

Take adolescents inculcated with the above "values."
Turn them into gun lovers.
Mix well.

And then, stand back.

The moral decline began when jocks were given carte blanche to dis and

Why is everyone leaving out the possibility of involvement with drugs as a

Thats right. Read all about it in the "Bell Curve". A purportedly
scientific work funded by eugenitist, racists and nazi's. Quoting
research funded by the same far right wacko organizations.

For crying out loud! Now that you and your hatemongering buddies have egg all
over your faces from trying to put a racial spin on this story, which turned
out be total bullshit, now you want to blame it on drugs. The fact is that
these killers were actually a bunch of anti-racist anarchists. The supposed
swastikas were the kind many anti-racists wear - the kind with a circle and a
diagonal line through the swastika. Another inconenient fact is that one of the
shooters has been shown to be a Jew (and don't give me any crap about him being
a protestant. His mom is certainly a Jew and anyone born of a Jewess is a Jew
as determined by the laws of Israel.)

These punks are a product of your kind of thinking.

You have to understand where the rage comes from.

I have been talking a lot to people about this.

Its an epidemic. Jocks feel they have a right to humiliate non-jocks.

We had a jock in our local paper saying he had quit humiliating
non-jocks. He was afraid. And besides it was wrong.

But not so wrong that he would quit before he was afraid.

The saying on usenet: if all you can argue about is syntax and
spelling then perhaps you have run out of arguments.

Not according to the Guardian, the Telegraph, the BBC, CNN, El Mundo,
Liberation, and any number of other news media outlets. ( And Aviator,
being British, will know that the Guardian and the Telegraph are
about as opposite from each other as one can get ! )

One quarter according to the LA Times, just like Hitler

The laws of Israel do not say that a Jewish grandfather makes one
a Jew. Actually, his descent was similar to that of Hitler and
many other Nazis such as Goebbels and Rosenberg.

Snicker. So much shit, so little toilet paper.

Unlike normal book releases, there were NO advanced copies of the
Bell Curve released before books were shipped to bookstores.

Yet, IN SPITE OF NOT HAVING READ THE FUCKIN' BOOK, the long list
of PoliticallY Korrect / Kneww-jerk liberal assholes that nonetheless
attack a book they have not read includes just about every liberal goon
around.

There is even an anti-Bell Curve book. How does it refute ANYTHING in the
Bell Curve?

It doesn't.

It is full of slime and slander, such as at time so-an-so, someone told
person X who told Y who told the anti-Bell Curve authors that allegedly
on of the Bell Curve authors had sex with a prostitute.

Snicker.

And as usual, gee, if the book is so wrong, why then, refutation should be
so simple.

But no, all the above bozo can do is the usual ASSERTIONS, assertions
that are baseless and wrong.

The fact that those two young men in CO apparently did
not use drugs makes me reluctant to jump to that conclusion,
especially since doing so would be to ignore possible causes
for which there's actual empirical evidence.

There are many sources of stupidity, and in this case
I'd have to place the blame on things like lack of parental
supervision and the encouragement of like-minded peers.

Ok, if you really insist. What drugs were the murderers
taking? So far I haven't heard any evidence they were under
the influence of even a single aspirin tablet, either
immediately before the raid nor in the preceding year while
it was being planned.

Regardless of any habitual behavior you might have in that
regard, there are still some things which are simply ridiculous
to blame on drugs.

Nonsense. His mother's maiden name was Yassenoff, she was a Jewess. You demonstrate

His mother was Jewish as proven by the following article from her hometown

You're wrong as I have just proven. His mother was a Jew and he is a Jew by the
fact of his birth regardless of his upbringing.

America is in far worse denial about the effects of merciless taunting, teasing
and harassment that goes on in the school system by the "cool" crowd, and, like
the drug issue, I don't see the media or the teachers doing anything
constructive about it. You obviously discount the possibility that that alone
is enough to set some of the more unstable people off. Do you have any idea how
many kids and teachers believe that the issue is about black trenchcoats? Just
today on the news, I watched some assheaded bitch from a local school talk
about "getting tough" on trenchcoats, for christ's sake!

These idiots acually believe a dresscode will stop school violence!!

Look, these kids weren't sociopaths, they didn't torture animals while
masturbating on the school yearbook, or anything like that. They weren't born
crazy. They were MADE crazy, in one of the many ways their society can make
people crazy. This was no random event. For a year or more, the only thing that
kept them from killing themselves was their plan of revenge. They got NO
justice or protection or sympathy from the people who are supposed to provide
those things for them, so they made their own justice.

Your scapegoating of drugs shows the extent of our unwillingness to deal with
our real problems. You think you need drugs to explain how these kids got
fucked up? How about BULLYING JOCKS, LAZY TEACHERS, DETATCHED PARENTS, NAIVE
COUNSELORS AND CLUELESS ADMINISTRATORS. No one said raising children is an easy
task, but when was the last time you heard the abilities of school officials
called into question on the evening news?

Get a clue...

That's a stretch, isn't it, Simon? Athletes responsible for the our moral
decline?

IMO, Bill Clinton by himself has more to do with it than "jocks."

As to "jocks," are you referring to the high profile college and
professional athletes who make headlines for drugs, sex, battery, and the
like? If so, they're hardly representative of the high schoolers at
Columbine HS. Plus, any "blindness" probably has to do with the
high-powered lawyers those rich athletes can afford, rather than from their
occupation.

Besides, it wasn't just athletes those two lunatics were after. It was also
kids who said they believed in God, kids who happened to be black.

White Unity?

Snicker.

The GOOD thing about our remmants of the second amendment is that you can STILL
buy more that one firearm.

As in, after the nuclear war, when face with the above White Pwer asshole,
or, an asshole such as say, Gdy, I can TWO rifles top aim, which makes
for much less decision time as to who to, ummm, "encourage evolution"
first. Not that I'm actually proposoing any illegal of course. Of course,
after a nuke war, I WOULD be the locally "defining authority ...".


Or, in other words, say IPM, why don't go over to Slobbos side. I understand
all those Albanians have, umm, darker skin, and you get to shoot them free
and everything - like raping some dark meat.

Your skin may be white, but your mind is BLACK.

Oh yeah, they'd have killed lots of people with machetes... NOT.


Interestingly, the coroner's office has reported that all
victims who died at Colombine died of gunshot wounds. No one
died from shrapnel... gives some idea of the comparative
lethality of these instruments.

You can thank the free-market system for that. But this was not a moral
nation when the only people being massacred were Native Americans and our
"moral" philosophers kept human beings as property. Your analysis is just
more right-wing partisan bullshit.

You've left out all those corrupt politicians that take money from
corporations. Politicians who suck money from the gun-lobby want to put
the blame anywhere but where it really belongs. Increased fire-power and a
greedy society in which "if it can be sold - it will be sold" even if it's
death to kids.

I apologize for posting stuff that is hard to follow, but, I find it
difficult to use words of less than syllable for you.

But, if you read your history, you will see that socialism aka communism
aka fascism is an anti-human system which heavily relies on
pathologic personalities to achieve their twisted aims.

He said:

So which is it, friend? In denial or not? Just because someone does something that
has unintended consequences, doesn't mean they automatically see those consequences.
Let's get a little bit more detailed. There are people who are in denial because a)
they are too stupid to draw conclusions, or b) won't draw conclusions for one reason
or another. Others are not in denial. They are either a) People like yourself who
want to solve problems that others are in denial about, and perhaps feel a moral
obligation to do so; and b) Those who feel no obligation other than
self-preservation and greed. So, some are in denial, some not. The ones who are in
denial vastly outnumber those who aren't. So, it's no surprise that most public
school teachers will fall into the "in denial" category.

OK, look, Every society needs standards. There's nothing inherently wrong with dress
codes. They deter cutting class, for example (thank god my high school never
implemented them). But what shows teachers' (and the media's) denial so clearly, is
the asinine assertion that a dresscode is somehow going to change basic human
nature. A retarded kid is just as ripe a target for harassment by his peers in a
uniform as he is in street clothes. They are grasping at straws, because they are
not creative enough to entertain the possibility that a common thread exists between
the recent cases of school violence.

And these are the people we trust to educate our children...Explains a lot, doesn't
it?

Ah, the ignorance of the kampus kids ...

Per the DOJ crime statistics, the Eastern seaboard states have the most
strict anti-gun (gun control) lawsa around. The per-capita murder rate
remains the same as the rest of the country, but, where in other parts of
the country the murder-by-gun to murder-by-not-gun is 50/50, in
the anti-guns states, it is typically 40% by gun, 60% by non gun.

The per capita murder rate is essentially unchanged.

Sarcasm on my part, I do believe.
Not at you, but the whole mess.

The answer would be denial in this case.

Hiding behind a scapegoat and being in denial about the goat their
hinding behind. Because they choose not to face the truth and deal
with it.

Any why you slice it, it comes up Denial.

How do they deter cutting class?

I'm thanking God also for never implementing them.

I want free thinkers, not clones.

The government not only wants them to look alike, they want them to
think alike. Cloned sheep are much easier to control, don't you
think?

Hey, I found the original gateway.

First we look out the window, then we skip class and then we smoke
pot. This is where it all starts. Taking that first look out of a
window. I guess, we just need to ban all windows in the schools now.

Hey, I think, they think this also. They want bars on them now. Then
they will move on to no windows at all.

I don't really see it as a denial issue. I see it as a plan to

So if you were jacked up on diet pills or ritalin ( amphetamines or
methylphenidate ) and coffee and a bunch of nazi types came busting
in on you in the middle of the night. While you were up cramming for a
test the next day. You would ask if they wanted coffee or tea?

Don't believe everything you read in the paper friend.
The pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know the two mentioned
above, are the same thing as meth on the street. One we give to fat
people, the other we have all the hyperactive kids in school on.

Remember, they said marijuana would turn you into a blood sucking bat.
That could fly around in the courtroom. True story friend. Look it up.


This guy was the government's expert medical witness and did testify
to this very statement in an open U.S. court. Back in 1937/38

Does anyone remember what the guys name was?

He also did the marijuana studies on the dog's brains, by injection.
With no known injectable marijuana synthetic or derivative at this
date in time. The government's expert medical adviser for marijuana
prohibition. The marijuana Tax act of 1937.

Oh, I forgot, the government/cops wouldn't lie, scare the shit out of
you. Most people who use meth, do so to stay up all night and party.

Not engage in shootouts with police.

Yet, cops breaking in on someone high or not, tends to make people
kind of, and or crazy, don't you think?

By the way, how many of these people did you see go nuts on PCP, Meth
or any other illegal drug personally.

Does two out of millions make a epidemic?

You will keep an eye out for those marijuana bats for us, wont you?

You really think that if these kids had come into the school with machetes
they'd have killed thirteen classmates? That's ridiculous. They may have
maimed, or even killed one or two, but its much easier for a dozen kids
with desks, chairs, books, garbage cans, and a myriad of other items at
hand to disable a machete wielding teenager than one armed with a sawed
off shotgun and a Tec-9.

Ah, the ignorance of Phil Ronzone.

Correlation does not prove causation.

Perhaps the existence of stricter gun laws in states with higher gun
crime rates indicates that the crimes were there first and the states
responded with stricter laws. The laws may be there because they are
needed more. I'm not saying this is the case, I'm just saying you can't
assume it's not. But as we know, that won't stop you.

Perhaps. Where was it wrong? Where was the data in error?

"Ethnocentrism on IQ tests" isn't an excuse. Asians scored higher than
whites according to the studies done, so unless there was a 60% Asian
ethnocentrism component and a 40% European ethnocentrism component, there
goes that.

At issue is the cause:

- Crappy parents. How the hell could you NOT be aware your kid has bomb
making materials in your house? Or dresses like a punk?

- Weak-kneed bureaucrats and public schools that can't or won't do fuck all.
Once upon a time a girl could be sent home to change because the skirt she
wore to school showed off her knees. Expel a kid for wielding a knife in
school, and the parents sue the school and the courts force the school to take
the kid back in.

Doesn't anyone notice that none of this shit goes on in private religious
schools? You've NEVER heard of a Jewish gang doing a school drive-by. Or
some Catholic boys dressed in black and walking in and shooting up a seminary.

Why? Because private religious schools surround kids with VALUES and
EXPECTATIONS. When expectations are not met there is judgement, and
punishment which is swift, certain, and severe.

Say you go to 1st period, ditch 2nd & 3rd, come back for lunch. Easy, unless you have to
change out of a uniform into street clothes to go off campus, then change back upon
return. Everyone around the campus knows what to look for. You have to be extra sneaky.
Oh, sure, some will get away with it. Some will say, "fuck it, I'm not going to school at
all if I can't skip." Good riddance to them. Part of the problem in this country is that
high school teaching is a baybysitting job. It's adolescent daycare for dumbasses, and
the material is dumbed down accordingly.

Wow, I've made a pretty good argument (perhaps?) for something that I despise. But I
can't think of any other good reason besides the above for a dresscode. Let the schools
decide for themselves, others will follow if it works. In any event, it's not going to
make any difference in school violence. If not trenchcoats, tattoos, shaved heads,
whatever.

> I'm thanking God also for never implementing them.
>
> I want free thinkers, not clones.

You won't get clones, no matter how hard you try anyways. For the same reason you won't
stop school shootings. Still, some people would trade a little bit of individuality to
save their very ass. Too bad for them it's a moot point. People separate into groups,
it's a natural fact, from nightclubs to boarding schools, factories to fraternities. The
dorks will be just as ostracized as they are now. I can't believe people don't see this.

> think?

We're back to standards again. I would say that they'd rather sheep not think at all, and
the declining U.S. test scores certainly lend credence to my arguement. I think the
ethical way to control people is through sane, rational policies. I fully agree with you
in that we're about as far from sanity as a society can get. The supression of accurate
information, and the dispensing of deliberate misinformation in our public schools will
be a sad chapter of tomorrow's history books. That is, if history is still being taught.

Of course it's human nature to not want to do what you're told, or even what you have to
do. But what are you saying? Teachers should let kids skip class if they want to, because
it's basic human nature? Hey, look. Personally I believe education is a priveledge. By
the time a kid is in high school it's pretty apparant if he doesn't give a shit. There's
not much to keep him there anyways, if he's smart enough to know how fucked his education
really is. The dumbasses who drop out will drop out regardless of how wonderful the
education, but the smart kid's the real tragedy.

Hmm...I hadn't thought of that. You could be right, but I'd need more evidence to reach
that conclusion, at least _specifically_ for the schools. But yeah, the country is
definitely headed towards a police state, and the only thing that has a chance of turning
us around is the forum through which you and I are having this discussion. If I say
something ridiculous, you can quote me and pin me down on issues. This isn't the way
politics works as of now.

I used to make bombs when I was a kid. My friends did too. Our parents
had no clue. Its not like you have to set up an exotic lab with beakers
and all sorts of exotic materials. You just need a bag of gunpowder, some
pipes and some endcaps. We never made pipe-bombs, though. We used
industrial sized electric fuses (like you'd put into a fuse box).
Still, one wonders why the kids parents let them continue to hang out
together after the broke into a car together.

I doubt short skirts were the problem here. From what I've read, these
kids were almost never in trouble at school. They also made good grades.
They just dressed differently. Perhaps you'd like to mandate uniforms.

I went to a private Episcopalian school. We had a stabbing.

Also, consider that the proportion of kids going to private schools is
much lower than those going to public schools. Consider finally that
public schools have admissions standards that weed out kids they don't
want. The public schools have to accept everybody, since its part of their
mandate

Leaving aside the whole conspiracy theory bullshit, how was JFK a
liberal? A rich kid whose family bought him every election he ran in,
who got his country involved in Vietnam and damn well started World
War III, who did less for civil rights than either his predecessor or
his successor... not much meaningful, positive liberalism there.
Kennedy was one of the worst Presidents of this century, and easily
the most overrated.

How were the 60's about peace? The major issue of the day wasn't
Vietnam, it was race and civil rights - and that was a very ugly issue
indeed. Vietnam ran a close second, but Vietnam wasn't all that
peaceful, either.

The American Academy of Scientists, The American Association of
Geneticists, and the American Society of Psychologists have all issued
lenghty criticisms of various aspects of the "Bell Curve".

Quoted from the addenda to "The Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan "In
the January 5, 1996, issue of "Science", the Herrnstein/Murray book 'The
Bell Curve' (pp. 360-361) is criticized by members of a National Institute
of Health committee concerned with the ethical, legal, and social
implications of 'genetic determinism.' They stress (1) environmental as
well as genetic influences on intelligence; (2) even traits that are
highly heritable can be strongly affected by the environment; and (3) the
inheritance of complex traits such as intelligence is unpredictable. The
committee 'deplores' The Bell Curve and characterizes its conclusion as
'unjustifiable' and 'dangerous'.

Actually, Gould's 1991 edition of "The Mismeasure of Man" proves "The
Bell Curve" wrong at every level.

False. "Measured Lies" refutes the text, chapter by chapter.

I read "The Bell Curve" and found out that the authors themselves
didn't bother to make an argument in it. In each chapter, they offer
admittedly vague, partial data that rarely relates to the ideas in the
other chapters. But that doesn't prevent them from beginning each new
chapter by asserting that everything you've read so far has been
proven.

It's comical, really, and sad. If you bother to read it, I promise you
you'll be stunned at how empty the book is. All of those footnotes are
irrelevant.

Here's the punchline: A lot of rightwingers like to cite "The Bell
Curve" as proof of .... something. Once you read it, you'll know that
they *haven't* and, as usual, they don't have a clue what they're
talking about.

Gee, most of us think it has been going uphill ever
since - a woman now controls her own body, children are now
trained to report their preachers and school teachers when
they get raped instead of accepting it silently, and
homosexuals no longer have to live in a closet. ( Except for
homophobic queers, of course, but that is self inflicted.)

Isn't it funny, then, that here we have the U.S as
the most religious of the western nations by large measure
and this problem seems to center there? Sure looks like
being more religious is a health hazard from here. Maybe
they should ban the bible.
And don't put us Canadians in the same category -
-our death rate from firearms is a trickle compared with the
states, and even this recent one in Alberta was in our Bible
belt. Unlike Canadians,where one fifth of the people are
agnostic or atheists and most never go to church, there are
a mere 13% unbelievers in the U.S and most go to church.
Yet Americans kill far more people than do Canadians - -even
on a per capita basis. Indeed, the rate of firearm deaths in
the United States is eight times that of any other high
income country. The death rate amongst children under 15 in
the U.S. due to firearms is 15 times that of the 25 other
industrialized countries **combined**
52% of Americans still believe in the creation
theory, for Christ's sake! If religious practice stopped
crime, the U.S should be as crime free as you can get.

What is Truth?

By the way, I will note that there is one immediately obvious thing
that seperates Phil, Mike and myself on the one hand from you on the
other.

What might that thing be, "Aviator" <s...@tter.com>?

They were a couple of twisted antisocial High School boys.

They more or less announced their intention way in advance.

The murders are an act in a tragedy.

The crime is that these boys were not noticed long before what they
did.

> Yep. Is is amazing fun to watch idiots spout and posture and scream,

"Aviator" <s...@tter.com>, Phil is one of the more annoying posters on
USENET.

He is deliberately annoying.

If you want to get anywhere with me, you will ignore the annoying
parts and respond to the points he raises, which are always there, and
never inconsequential.

Also, try using your real name. What, after all, do you yourself
personally have to hide?

Andrew Mulcahy is, well, full of lies.

The homicide from firearms per capita is around 9 per 100,000 population.

Excluding just FIVE cities with large black populations, the HPC is
3.1. Comopares rather nicely with say, Germanies 2.9 now doesn't it?

And that's a pre-unification figure.

The children murdered by firearms (and explosives) is quite low in
the US. Indeed, there were TWO years where the UK had a higher per capita
rate than the US on children (13 and under).

As of 1992, we had less than 100 children (under 13 is the common
statiscal grouping here) murdered by firearms.

Now given that Brazil is in tghe TOP 20 of industrialzed countries, and
they have 3,000+ homeless children murdered each year, this LIE of
15 times "combined", is well, just a hysterical made up junk fact.

The "government" child/sex/slave ring they broke up in Belgium 3 or so
years ago is KNOWN to have murdered 8 children - which per capita, is
~240 children per our 100.


In any case, I would like later statistics. I have only the two editions
of World Crime Statistics, which stop in 1991. Which are interesting,
because aside from murder, the US is TYPICALLY in 7th to 10th place among
violents crimes compared to Europe/UK. I think both Manchester
and Hamburg had 5x our per capita rape rates.

Interesting ...

which 2 years and what about the other years. explosives and UK which means
you are including Northen Ireland. You might have excluded it as you did

try stats over 13 Phil or include children to 18 years.and you might

Come come now ... I'm sure we can find the real cause of the
columbine massacre.

I bet if we look hard enough that we will find the Harris
traveled to to Kiev as a child, worked for a time as a CIA
stooge in Bonn and later was turned down by the Marines as
a cover for his entended exploits as an paid assasin for
the FBI out to get a nuclear weapons spy who posed as a
teenage student at the high school.

Because it needs same-type comparisions. If the UK had 5 East St. Louis'es,
then it would be a comparision.

The excluded cities mainly contained drug-dealer A kills dealer B.
Something that no matter how HIGH that rate is, doesn't affect me.

Killing of children does.

Snicker. thank you, You are third person to fall for that.

Actually, the ONLY way to get the hysterical anti-gun numbers of
37,000 "children" killed by firearms each year, is to include the
bulk of them in the age 18-25 grouping!!! And that includes suicides.

Of course, some people are so poor in argument they want to call an 18-25 year
old person a "child".

From WSJ, 16-Oct-98:

Burglary rates compared to the US:
Australia 40% higher
Canada 12% higher
UK and Wales 30% higher
Sweden 35% higher
netherlands 84% higher

Robbery rate:
UK is 40% higher

Assault rate
UK is over TWICE the US rate!

fall for what Phil drop your ego for a sec. Iam interested as any

well Phil 13 - 18 would be nice if they where available,

Eh? I excluded Northern Ireland. THAT place kills almost as many kids
as East St. Louis (our worst US city).

Murder, while high, is STILL a predominatly criminal killing criminal
activity, and thus of not major concern to a non-criminal.

Violent crimes, rape, robbery are of a STRONGER concern, and that;s where
Europe and the UK have MUCH higher per-capita rates.

And growing too, as the UK proceeds to its total ban on firearms.

Snicker. As mature adults that believe in freedom, one knows that freedom means
that people WILL do/engage in/speak about things that YOU will find
objectionable to detestable.

Whether it is 30-man anonymous unprotected sex orgies of the homosexuals,
or Joe 6-pack watching the Simpsons, it WILL happen.

And mature adults know that JUST BECAUSE they don't like it, it should
NOT be illegal, as long as there is no coercion.

People like you display the tendency to want to make it illegal if you
don't "like" it.


The FACTS are that in States with the newly enacted concealed carry laws
have lower crimes rates, with lowering or less than average crime-growth
rates.

England, which has been banning more and more types of fiurearms since
the mid-60's, has far greater rates of violence.

So those same "mature adults" must accept the consequences of their
so-called "freedom." Events like the Columbine Massacre are the logical
extension of that so-called "freedom." "Freedom" is an abstraction.
Liberty is defined by law.

I'm not gay. Your attempt to drag me into a discussion of indiscriminate
gay sex is noted, and shit-canned. You're interested in gay sex. I'm not.

Your concept of what constitutes "coercion" is a narrow one. We've been
down this road before.

The only thing I want to make illegal are a certain species of weapons.
Which does not include handguns. I am opposed to banning handguns.

All the crime rates in the United States are dropping. (Undoubtably due to
two continuous democratic administrations.)

Proof please. How many people were killed in Great Britain last year by
guns? How many in the U.S.? What is the per-capita rate?

I've been to Great Britain. Have you?

Actually, I can't see what the mystery is all about.
These kids, like the lad in Alberta who selectively shot his
classmates and the guy who killed a bunch in a transit
station in Ottawa recently, were all simply getting back at
people who had vilified them. Understandable.
What makes the Columbine case worse is that these
kills were not selective enough- killing indiscriminately.
But in all cases. the killer(s) had, in their opinion,. good
reason to kill. No mystery here. No need to look for
fanciful causes.
