"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.

They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."

It couldn't be helped you see, they attacked us with sticks

Yes. The Israeli Apartheid State is that venal, not to mention criminally inept:



What's that? You say you object to a commando raid--in international waters--upon a civilian mission to relieve some of the suffering of Gaza's 1.5 million inhabitants currently under a criminal embargo? Well that will get you this:



this,



and ultimately this,



The young woman in the above images is 21 year old American activist and artist Emily Henochowicz who was protesting the commando assault on relief efforts along with many others at the Qalandiya checkpoint which separates the West Bank from the Usurping Entity. Emily will lose her left eye.

However, on Monday the FBI released crime statistics that should cause the applauding anti-gunners to sit on their hands. The statistics indicate that between 2008 and 2009, as gun sales soared, the number of murders in our country decreased 7.2 percent. That amounts to about an 8.2 percent decrease in the per capita murder rate, after the increase in our nation's legal and illegal population is taken into account. And it translates into about a 10.5 percent decrease in the murder rate between 2004, when the ban expired, and the end of 2009. And finally, it means that in 2009 our nation's murder rate fell to a 45-year low.

These are precisely the attitudes--so resonant with Apartheid South Africa--that will lead to Israel's undoing in the ME. How difficult is this to grasp?

Coldtype,

Garrison states produce warriors incapable of surrender.

From this, both atrocity and inevitable self-destruction.

"Superior" in what sense? If by "superior" you mean in terms of aggressiveness and xenophobia, the keys to its future undoing, you are absolutely correct.

"and look at what the savages have done to SA.In less than twenty years they have run the country into the ground."

What exactly do you believe has changed in SA asshole? The 4% percent who ran country before the official end of the apartheid era for its own interest at the expense of the majority population is still in place--running things into the ground for everyone else.

You are delusional.

Anon,

What's the delusion, exactly? Is Coldtype wrong that the same people who owned and ran everything before the ending of Apartheid State still own and run everything?

A survey for the period 1998–2000 compiled by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ranked South Africa second for assault and murder (by all means) per capita and first for rapes per capita.[2] Total crime per capita is 10th out of the 60 countries in the dataset. These statistics only compare statistics from approximately 60 countries (typically better-developed countries) and many of the remaining countries of the world will have higher rates of violent crime — though these are usually unmeasured, disputed or uncomparable. The UN statistics also contain some flaws (e.g. gun crime in South Africa[3]).

According to a survey for the period 1998–2000 compiled by the United Nations, South Africa was ranked first for rapes per capita.[8] One in three of the 4,000 women questioned by the Community of Information, Empowerment and Transparency said they had been raped in the past year.[9] More than 25 per cent of South African men questioned in a survey published by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in June 2009 admitted to raping someone; of those, nearly half said they had raped more than one person.[10][11] Three out of four who admitted rape attacked for the first time during their teens.[10]

South Africa has the highest incidences of child and baby rape in the world.[12]

In order to protect themselves and their assets, many businesses and middle- to high-income households in South Africa make use of privately owned security companies with armed security guards.

The SAPS (South African Police Service) uses private security companies to patrol and safeguard certain police stations, thereby freeing fully-trained police officers to perform their core function of preventing and combating crime.[21] A December 2008 BBC documentary presented by Louis Theroux examined such firms in the Johannesburg area, including the Bad Boyz security company.

Police response is deemed too slow and unreliable, and thus security companies are a popular form of protection. Private security firms promise response times of two to three minutes.[citation needed] Many levels of protection are offered, from suburban foot patrols to complete security checkpoints at the entry points of homes.

Hey Coldie!!

Who you rooting for in The Cup?

I like Ghana as a longshot, but that is a bit reaching. My second choice, Cote de Ivory, should make the semis I think.
