Why so much violence from one place?

The world feels sorry and sad for so much violence that happens in America and comes from America.

The world feels sorry and sad for so much violence that happens in America and comes from America.
Unjustified and illegal wars in Iraq, Serbia etc, Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo bay torture gulags and even innocent animals are not spared from the USA army cruelty: sparedhttp:Video appears to show Marine abusing puppy - CNN.com
The problem is that the violence is deeply imbedded in American history and lives not only in the Army but in the whole society. Have a look every day killing of innocent students in high schools and colleges around the USA and people around the world in unjustified wars. This becomes part of the American culture and “Democracy” that USA wants to forcefully export everywhere and force everyone to have ultimate moral and other declines as USA has at the present. The main question is : Why they are doing this? Why so much violence?

Has someone ever tried to answer that question. Well if they did , then the most probably, America would be in much better shape then it is now. Isn’t it?

Re: Why so much violence from one place?

Violence is everywhere... WWI WWII started in Europe

In some places in Africa, they exterminates themselves just because he/she is part of a different tribe (Rwanda, Kenya, etc...)

In Asia, the Japanese massacred Chinese

etc...

Welcome to the world Iaca, it's the human nature...

Re: Why so much violence from one place?

Get outta here.

With all the violence floating around Africa and the Middle East everyday, WE are the most violent prone? And you prove it because ONE jackass threw a fucking DOG off a cliff? A jackass who is about to go to jail more than likely?

Man, you need some meds or something. Where's your outrage over the little kids who starve in Somalia because the Warlords hijack the food?

Where's your outrage because dictators in Africa kill innocents so they can control diamond mines?

Where is your outrage over what Russia is doing/ did do in Chechnya?

Your more upset over a fucking DOG? Where is your humanity?

What a freaking fraudster and sham.

Again the puppy? I guess the Daily Kos had even more readers than I originally thought.

You are right but when persistent violence so frequently comes from one place then something is fundamentally wrong with that environment.
In terms of large scale you can not solve all problems by wars and cowboys gun mentality, there is, for example, diplomacy as well isn’t it. After all people go to university to study diplomacy.

Re: Why so much violence from one place?

Yeah, and we used 13 freaking years of diplomacy before getting all cowboyish and trigger happy. We used the UN and everything, remember that?

But Africa, boy, that takes the cake. The UN can't even control the violence coming out of Sudan right now. Hell, more people died there than have died in Iraq, and I don't see you castigating them. Hypocrit.

What can I say? Just feel sad when people response in such aggressive manner and don't want to admit their wrong doing.

Re: Why so much violence from one place?

Now THAT'S funny. Not good humor, but funny as all get out.

Go feel sad all you want. If you feel too depressed, just think of all the cheerful people in the Congo, being slaughtered by their own goverment. Or the poor Kenyans killing one another over votes.

Re: Why so much violence from one place?

Well then, let's move down to South America.

Where's your outrage over the drug lords systematic slaughter of whole villages?

How about Thailand, where the Muslim insurgents are slaughtering kiddies in school, and Buddhist monks in the temples? How about when they kill teachers and their entire families, just to make a point?

Where is your spite for the military dictators in Burma?

How about your sympathy for the thousands of people in Brasil that are killed every year by brutal police and drug gangs?

How about the TENS OF MILLIONS the Chinese killed? Where is your fake rage over that?

I'll tell ya, it doesn't exist. You'd rather pretend to be upset over humanities cruelty because a US Marine tossed a fucking DOG off a cliff.

Keep jumping on that fashionable band wagon, and it'll run over you one day.

Re: Why so much violence from one place?

WHy the fuck are people so upset if someone throws an animal around?! I just read that the guy who threw the dog is receiving death threats. How sick is that?
In every friggin' society, there are people who enjoy to torture and kill animals. Hell there's are even entire proffessions which job it is to kill cute animals. There are also entire countries where people would rather have been upset because the soldier is "playing with food" in the video. I give a friggin' f*ck about that soldier and that puppy. Leave the poor bastard be. I bet he has his pants full by now, that should be enough.

China - cultural revolution: "We let him do self criticism until he died!". About 50 million cases or a hundred million times?

For Germany the USA is like a seismometer of the societies. If I think of school massacres for example I would be happy if this don't will happen (in no country in the whole world) - but in the moment it happened in the USA in Germany we knew: it will also happen in Germany. And it came in this way. But this doesn't mean it comes from the USA to Germany. It means only that the USA is in some cases faster than other nations and societies and the pulse of time is beating earlier. But fortunately this is also the way if good things are happening like the power peace and music from woodstock for example.

Or take a look at this song from Pink:

Na na na na na na na na
Dear Mr. President
come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend
we're just two people
and you're not better than me
I like to ask you some questions
if we can speak
honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of the world is cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye,
and tell me why?

Na na na na na na na na
Dear Mr. President,
were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
"No child is left behind?"
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughters rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say!
You've come a long way,
- from whiskey and cocaine!.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?


Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your houses after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work!
Hard work!
Hard work!
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work!
Hard work!
Hard work!!!

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?

Dear Mr. President, you'd never take a walk with me...

Or would you...??


I the USA someonee likes to say this to his president I'm sure: Mr. Bush heared what Pink said. That's much more, than in lots of countries in the world is possible.

Oh my God such cruel man. If you hate animals so much you must equally hate people as well.
