David Attenborough on how to save the planet
newtboyLife's not the movies.
In real life, the rich have police and private security, secure buildings and walled off communities to make sure that doesn't happen.
What you do see is a total separation. The rich and the poor rarely exist in the same space, and on those rare occasions when they do, the rich protect themselves in ways the poor don't even consider....like bullet and knife proof clothing, body guards, armored cars, etc.
Put 5 billionaires in East Oakland or Compton at night without cell phones or guards, I think you'll see the lynching you're looking for.
For it to become the norm, maybe wait 10-20 years....less if there's another drought in places like California where we grow most of what we feed the nation.
It's like a frog in the pot....if you were to time travel from 1950, you would be horrified at the current state of civilization and the planet, because it's a slow change, people forget and ignore how bad it really is. The pot doesn't need to be boiling for the frog to get cooked.
Aside: TIL I've only seen the new Mad Max.
Oh, I know. I'm not waiting for Bartertown, per se. I'm waiting until, say in the case of inequality causing civil unrest, rich people getting strung up in public by huge mobs.
You know, stuff that happens in movies but is coming to a city near you. Literally.

Daily Show: Australian Gun Control = Zero Mass Shootings
JerykkThere are many parts of the U.S. that essentially are the wild west. Head out to Compton, Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland, Baltimore or any other number of cities with high poverty rates and you'd be crazy not to carry a gun with you.
As for New Zealand gun crime rates, sure, they are lower than U.S. gun crime rates. But then, New Zealand's overall crime rate is five times lower to begin with. The disparity isn't limited to just gun crimes.
Like I said before, there's no clear correlation between gun control and crime rates. For every area that has strict gun laws and low crime, there's another area that has stricter gun laws and more crime. Conversely, there are areas with lax gun laws and lower crime rates than areas with strict gun laws. The data simply doesn't show any consistent trends other than the fact that poor areas have higher crime rates than prosperous areas.
@mram wasn't arguing for border control in the states. (s)he was saying that gun control in a specific area is meaningless if you can trivially circumvent it by driving for half an hour.
To be honest, I really don't know what the solution is. I genuinely think the problem in the USA is not so much guns, but your attitude to them.
In the developed world, plenty of other countries have lots of guns, but only in the states does this cowboy attitude with guns prevail. I have plenty of friends with guns, but none of them have them for "home defense". The very idea that I'd need a gun to protect myself is alien to me. It's the 21st century, not the wild west.
Possibly the genie is out of the bottle in the US. The argument of "gun control just means that only criminals have guns" might well be true. But if that is the case, how is it that countries like Ireland or New Zealand where even the police force don't carry guns* have lower firearm homicide rates (~1/10th the rate of the US). Surely we should have been overrun by lawless gangs of armed criminals while the police stand helplessly by?
*NZ Police do have access to firearms, but they don't carry them as a rule.
A terrified abandoned dog gets rescued from the streets
Fairbs says...The video said they were in Compton which is usually considered a place not to mess around in. You can see windows had iron bars covering them and there were beware of dog signs. Other than that, it didn't LOOK that bad. It may be why they wanted to get out of there quickly though and not spend a day at it.
I actually agree with this. To melodramatic and they were way too fast and "aggressive" in their approach of the dog. A good deed, but quite clumsy and probably caused the dog more stress than necessary.
Ice Cube - Who's The Mack
chingalera*promote the washed-out hack
mack-daddys' back
with his punk beats
Hoein'-out to Hollywood Jump Street;
Slingin' sit-com crack like a chump thief
"Are We There Yet?" ,I don't know Uncle Tommy, you tell me?!
Come a long way since the N W A,
Now you makin' all yas' Compton brothers nervous,
and your tinsel-town time looks like community service,
to the white man;
Kissin' his nutsack
Took a promissin' career , went and showed it your buttcrack;
Turnin' niggas into stereo-typical, thug-smack
If your granny was alive you'd be feelin' a BITCH SLAP!
Tell us what you've done for the Black community;
Given niggas nothing more than some pimp-ass immunity,
from thinkin' too hard about from whence they came
from playin' any better at the white man's game
from stayin' Afrocentric and adjustiin' the game,
helpin' all the righteous brothers to a dose of the same, you're LAME!
and your rhymes, all the same
Played-pentameter-same, house-nigga blame-game...
Many may freestyle, the few deal in truth.

A rarely known dirty trick of war: Spiked Ammo
MonkeySpank says...I contracted for non-invasive inspection with ARDEC back in 2001. We have the technology to scan these bullets at an extremely fast rate (1000+ bullets/sec) using Photoelectric Effect and Compton Scattering and single out the bad powder using electron density and Z effecitive. We can definitely help the insurgence avoid these traps if politics weren't in the way.
