Without trying to get too deep into it, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that you don't have a government owned by the wealthiest tiny percentage of people on the planet. Our 1% owns over 99% of our nation's assets, and they're the ones running the government.

As the political philosopher Alan Moore once said (and famously paraphrased in the wonderful V for Vendetta), "'People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people."

With the resources and weapons at the disposal of the modern US government, removing the right to bear arms of the American people is unthinkable. This is certainly not to imply each are at odds with one another, or that one should ever even attempt direct physical harm on the other, but that balance of power has to be maintained.

On the surface I don't blame you at all, but I can assure you life here is nothing like what the media portrays with the frequency of shootings and violence. In fact, shooting numbers have actually dropped in all but one city here in the US in the last decade/

But Jesus, one camera/10-14 people. Do you give a thumbs up to the camera while having a wank?

But surely this is just an illusion? Doesn't matter how many of the public are armed you aren't going to stand up up to the State. And with only 30% of them being armed it's even more futile. Peaceful or should I say unarmed protest has always achieved more ie abolition, women's vote ect ect. Saying all that though, if I lived in rural US I'd probably be armed to the teeth just because I could be

There wasn't any other sort, was there? I owned an 8256 and a 9512 way back when, and the monitors did very strange things to my eyes.

No, but again it's not the "tangible" or "physical" strength itself, it's the ability to have access to arms that keeps things in check. I for one completely agree with Moore and V, the best form of government is most conducive when it is held more liable to the demands of its people, rather than vice versa. If you truly intend to create a government intended to protect "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (property in the original line)," it follows then that this government should be subject to its people, not the other way around.

I wish we could say peaceful resolution has resolved more, but that's not actually the case as it's only really worked in the last century in the scale of millenia of human history. As a bit more of a touchy case in point, the colonists had to wage an entire war simply for initially asking to be represented before taxation.

It is however, far and away ideally how everything should be resolved, and it's certainly a wonderful thing that the frequency of resolution per conflict has continued to sway in the direction of peaceful methods.

Maybe I'm wrong, but from my limited experience working in the insurance industry, this has fraud written all over it. I've seen the same scenario (although maybe not on this level) a million times before, and I wouldn't give these people the time of day.

Here is how it works:

1) Find a bullshit reason to inflate the value of your resource. (I.e. it may only be a £500k property but the big football team wants to buy it so it should be worth £500M).

2) Pull out before the insurance company have a reason to deflate the value of the resource you have insured and thus pay you less money (I.e. court case forcing you to sell to the big football club).

3) Burn the property and take the insurance money based upon your own valuation and strike it rich

Unfortunately (Sorry fortunately), this never works. Funnily enough, big insurance firms, who hire lots of top notch lawyers, do not generally fall into such easy traps. The insurance companies investigators will do a far more thorough job than the police as they have money on it. Any insurance investigator who looks into this will smell a rat a mile away.

Don't get me wrong, it may be a rogue Spurs fan, but this scenario fills the A-Z of insurance con jobs.
