You write a lot but say nothing.
Yep, I also have a son that works in the UK
I would say if your son lives there and is finding it a 'very' different culture, then he is not very cognizant of the culture and not very adapable. Though there are differences, the things you cite in your post are the same: abortion, the break down of the family, the fact that a lot of people, including men/fathers, can go on the dole or on welfare and not be working, absent fathers, single mothers on welfare, liberalism/secularism, materialism, etc. All of those things are the same in the UK. They also have a lot of disenfranchized youth: one example of that is the riots that occured about a year or so ago in London. I was close friends and a working colleague with a British woman at that time who discussed the issue at length: it is the same type of social problem the US has with ghetto neighborhoods in the US: young people who are poor and poorly educated who do not see themselves as being included in the mainstream of society, who see themselves as being treated differenly because of race or culture/religion, who lack opportunity and jobs, etc. These things are all the same type of thing you cited in your post.
Tell me, if you think the British culture is so different, do you actually have any idea at all where and how it is different? Or is it just your son saying it is different in a general way but not being specific? I was involved in a long term relationship with a British man. In addition to spending months at a time in the UK, we talked about the differences in our cultures (he lived in the US for 5 years). I know what the differences are, do you?
And he was wrong, of course.The people he blamed were the product of a 'gun culture' society. That's all. He's right on!
He didn't blame people at all.
Hope he didn't get any blood on his shoes.
True. He blamed the gun culture of United States for the death, saying it was corrupting the world."
Of course... guns don't kill people, gun culture of United States is what kills people" is what he meant. Sorry.
I guess it's too much to ask that he blame the people who actually committed the murder, huh?No doubt the NRA & Rush Limbaugh will slam this.
US gun culture is 'corrupting the world,' Australia ex-deputy PM says after Okla. slaying - U.S. News
No time for that, I suppose. There's a dead body to stand on and preach from.
If these boys didn't have easy access to a gun, how would they have shot our Australian boy?

How did they get the guns?
Statistics show they obtained them illegally.
Do you think criminals are going to be deterred by more gun laws?
Hint: No.
And banning guns simply isn't going to happen in America. That's off the table. Sheer fantasy.
Here's an idea.
Let's send Australia a contingent of our black thugs, keep guns away from them and see what happens!
Call it a social experiment.
I would like to know why America has so many black thugs, and we don't have many at all.
Maybe its the guns?

there are probably more black people in the County i live in then your whole Country.....out of your 23 million,what percentage is black?....
In the dictionary, next to the definition of "pea-wit", guess whose picture you'll see?What are you worried about? Gun control is not after your right to defend yourself liar... it's after the criminals right to bear arms like ak-47's and rapid fire machine guns.
You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Geeze louise. AK 47's and machine guns?
Aye carumba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look what you even posted "criminals right to bear arms". I can't breathe.

i read they were only 3% of the population.....so thats like around 500,000.....

US gun culture is 'corrupting the world,' Australia ex-deputy PM says after Okla. slaying - U.S. News
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Furious at the killing of an Australian college baseball player in Oklahoma, a senior figure in the victim's home country blamed the gun culture of United States for the death, saying it was corrupting the world."
It's not the "gun" culture. It's the "gangsta" culture.
I own about a dozen firearms. I've yet to kill anyone.

I know Misty, I think she is an elitist type that brags about herself and because she brags so much, she think her opinions are the only correct ones.
No nation has a gun problem. They have a criminal problem.If these boys didn't have easy access to a gun, how would they have shot our Australian boy?

Dave didn't you know she has a gun problem in her own country.
Is it? Disprove it...Gun control equals common sense. Why are you r-wingers afraid of common sense?
Tell that to the 2 MILLION people in the US who use a firearm to prevent a crime, every year.
WOW!
That's a big fat lie... isn't it?
"Researchers at the Cato Institute have reviewed eight years worth of news reports about shooting in self-defense and conclude, "the vast majority of gun owners are ethical and competent, and tens of thousands of crimes are prevented each year by ordinary citizens with guns."

The problems with this country? Language, Borders, and lastly culture.No nation has a gun problem. They have a criminal problem.Dave didn't you know she has a gun problem in her own country.
80% of violent crimes are caused by gangs....Blacks are 50% of all murders in this country...These facts are from the fbi, doj and police departments.
