Violent crime up again in USA, more murders, robberies

[duck_duck]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More murders and robberies in 2006 sent U.S. violent crimes higher for the second straight year, the
FBI said on Monday, with the increase blamed on gangs, youth violence, gun crimes and fewer police on beats.

The FBI reported that the number of violent crimes nationwide went up by 1.3 percent last year, following a 2.3 percent increase in 2005. That had been the first rise in four years and the biggest percentage gain in 15 years.

The report showed that murders in big cities jumped last year by 6.7 percent. Robberies, an important indicator of crime trends, increased 6 percent nationwide.

Old news, no one give a shit. Buy a gun and learn to use it.

Welcome to neo-con America.

Also, those studies are incomplete.
The complete US studies, done by the Justice Department and FBI are 2 years behind.

If what she says is inaccurate, then facts in reply will expose that myth.

Or don't read what she posts.

Is she attacking individual posters - or stating a political belief? If it came to banning someone, TheMercenary is clearly a divisive problem. As others have noted, tone in The Cellar definitely changed when TheMercenary began posting with his personal attacks combined with a mocking political agenda.

I don't see Duck_Duck doing that. I see a 16 year old girl posting what she believes to be facts. Facts that are only reinforced when it results in replies of emotional outbursts rather than logic.

What she posts should be so easy to refute. Why so many posts; and none with logical replies?

Why no refutations: like the old saying goes,

"Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and annoys the pig."

it's the tw party line. something of a one trick pony. ok, maybe 2 tricks....he calls gWb a mental midget a lot too.

Let's look at what constitutes an abusive poster. The first line from each post in a 24 hour period:

You are so funny!
I think you are an illegal alien.
Well I would say that you are guessing,
So you basically have nothing and are just "terrified"
Original source citation please.
Your ignorance about the world around you outside your current life.
I have no idea and neither do you.
You are delusional.
And how in the world do you come to that conclusion?
Makes no difference to me, really I don't care.
Haven't travelled much have you.
That would be a bit of a reach. (when he did not know what misogyny meant)
That or maybe you are an idiot.
Hi Bruce's friend. Join the special Asshole forum link
Yea watch out, it could just be another asshole...
Or I don't really give a shit, well....
Come on now, don't be a cunt.
We have a girl at work who literally vomits at the site of them. We keep hiding them around her work place or in her purse.
Like I said, if it is not directed at you stay out of it.
Awwwwwwwww.... and you wonder how and why people respond to people like you
Nobody will be driving me off skippy.
And in which case your rectal disease has spread to your liver, brain, and bone

I collected these first sentences over a 24 hour period when similarities appeared between TheMercenary's posts and how an unapologetic abuser of women (I once knew) also talked.

As usual, TheMerceary has nothing to say other than insulting emotions. He posts insults when he cannot defend his opinions with facts.

Is this an attack on TheMercenary? Well it makes a point by posting facts - in this case examples of how TheMercenary posted in a 24 hour period. I did not call him a cunt face. He did that for himself. I just provided the examples of one who is so abusive.

I don't see Duck_Duck using profanity on a regular basis. I don't see her routinely insulting others. The example of that would be both words and attitude of TheMercenary.

Mercenary received repeated warnings and heeded them.

So who in this thread has posted more insulting comments - Duck_Duck or TheMercenary? If questions the standards which many of the first posters were using to judge.

Duck_Duck is a 16 year old girl posting political viewpoints as she perceives them. TheMercenary as an adult chooses to attack other posters with childish insults. Which one is more divisive?

At least Duck_Duck posts opinions based in sources. Where is “load of crap” proven by a citation?

Let’s see. TheMercenary knows another is a “load of crap”. Therefore that proves it to be true? I don’t see Duck_Duck posting any such insults.
