South Africa has one of the world's highest murder rates with an alarming 47.4 murders per 100,000 people, or eight times the figure for the United States.
|
And they have very strict gun control laws..

Being a liberal I thought you could identify with the struggling and less fortunate.
But I guess as long as you have your wealth and comfort it's all good.

Nothing political about it... a simple observation... and you being liberal I thought would appreciate the fact that your belief system permeates every facet of your lives...

His politic preferences has zero to do with this topic.
LOL, in the Netherlands there isn't something so narrowsided as a 2-party system. I'm not liberal by your definition, neither am I republican. It would probably be too complicated for you to grasp anyway...
LOL@me being liberal only because I think Bush is a fucking idiot.

" I'm not liberal by your definition, neither am I republican."
I dont really want to get off topic too much.. but what you just said makes no sense.
Liberal is not the opposite of republican.. Liberal isn't even a party..
Democrat is the opposition to republican.
Meanwhile people can be either liberal moderate or conservative
There are no other options.
Liberal= deals with changing the way society works
conservative=trying to stay towards original ideals(in the us this would be the right wing.. aka human rights outweigh what someone wants to assume is the social interest which would be what socialism does). It is different things to different countries though.
moderate= split the difference
