Just When You Thought Arizona Couldn't Get Stupider...
RE: Just When You Thought Arizona Couldn't Get Stupider...
Quote:No. That COULD happen in switzerland,
You're right, it CAN happen. but statisticly speaking, not fucking likely. As you say, really low crime.
Quote:You never once give the properties of what it takes to be an "advanced" country as well.
I said 'advanced society'. And by that I mean the amount of educated and well behaved individuals. In a society populated mostly by educated and well behaved individuals is a society that should have really low crime rates, better productivity and efficientcy. I never said that any country like your's is not advance. If I did, could you please point it out?
Quote:Apparently YOU do, seeing as you are using the terminology
I don't know what else to call a very law biding, rational group of people. I say advanced because it is. A society that has very little crime, mostly populated by intelligent people, is a society I would call advanced. Especially when you compare it to some other societies where crime is high and life is hard. What would you call it?
Quote:Care to share how and why a country can become "advanced"
Last time, society!
Quote:Really? This is assumption number 2. Of course it can happen.
Why do I have to be so damn exact with you? Statistically speaking. It's not very often you find educated individuals doing crime. Unless you can show otherwise?
Quote:So what do you mean by education? Does an associates degree count, or is a highschool education good enough to claim one is educated?
An educated person is far less likely to commit crime. Want a definition? - To inform: to educate oneself about the best course of action. Displaying culture, taste, and knowledge; cultivated.
Based on experience or information.
Educated.
Quote:You need to be specific when you say things like "education" and "disciplined"
Discipline: To teach right from wrong, to deter bad behaviour, to encourage good behaviour. Training to act in accordance with rules. Behavior in accord with rules of conduct; behavior and order maintained by training and control: good discipline in an army. A set or system of rules and regulations.
Quote:Do they not follow orders and go out shooting people they dont know?
Soldiers doing their duty is completely differant from carrying fire arms around public areas and gunning down unarmed civilians. Am I right or wrong?
Quote:When a military man drops a bomb, does he not know that anyone, child or adult, can be killed by such an action? Yet he does it anyways?
That's called following orders and doing your duty. War is a sick thing but if you really hate the idea of firing at people you don't know, then don't sign up!
Quote:According to you, that millitary man should NOT drop the bomb because of his education and discipline, but in this case it is the opposite
You're twisting it around. Soldiers fight for their country and follow orders, it's what they signed up for. There's a heck of a differance between civilians firing at each other and a soldier doing his duty.
Quote:because they will not allow an uneducated, undisciplined IDIOT be in charge of a billion dollar bomber jet.
Why do you keep comparing it to the military? They are too very differant things.
Quote:I do agree that it is the society, and not the gun.
Well....at least we agree with something.Confused Fall

And again we go.

You're most recent post was...poorly made. You made very little sense.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
