--- Quote from: Lincoln The Reform-A-Tory on December 28, 2005, 10:29:11 AM ---If you let someone stab you, it's your own fault for not defending yourself. However if you do defend yourself and still end up with a wound, it's still partly your fault for not defending yourself well enough as well as that person's fault. That's the way I see it.

OK, homie, that was a WACK analogy. I thought conservatives are all about placing blame on the person who committed the crime? If someone stabs you, that person still has to do time for the crime and accept responsibility. What you've said makes no sense. If guns from the U.S. are getting into Canada because of our lax gun control laws, we still owe it to Canada (whether you care or not) to control them better so that this doesn't happen. Maybe Canada should be enforcing its borders better, but the U.S. should be doing a better job of keeping its gun violence contained.

Obviously the person who would receive the punishment would and should be the person who did the stabbing, but the point remains the same. Sorry to be "wack" there homie.
And for the record, I don't consider myself to be conservative in what you seem to perceive it to be.

I was watching the news last night, and they compared the number of murders in TO, to the number of murders in Chicago (both cities are about the same size). Tornto had like 78 last year and Chicago had like 430. And Chicago isn't even known for being a dangerous place. For a city of 4-5 million like Toronto, I think it's numbers are still safe.

But should we accept the status quo or should we demand better? It's very Canadian to say that it's bad, but it could be worse. Only reason Chretien stayed in power for so long.

78 murders is a lot, it's 78 too many in my opinion.

Real American:
Don't you just love all these world governments...when something goes wrong, dont accept responsibility just blame America.
It is kind of interesting that Canada's violent crime rate is soaring. Anyone remember Michael Moore's documentary "Bowling for Columbine" where he basically surmised that Canada has less crime because their leadership and their culture are just less violent. So much for that theory.
By the way, you guys might be missing one of the key causes of Canada's increase in crime: violent youth gangs. Even this article briefly mentioned them at the end. It might not be politically correct to discuss this though because you will be called racist. But let's be honest, immigrants from abroad are commiting the overwhelming majority of these crimes. As Canada becomes more diverse it will only get worse.
