I don't think the media really influences any decisions I make, rather it informs me of current things going on. What a ignorant, insane statement to say we do whatever the media says.

That's the point, you're not supposed to know that the media has such great psychological control over people. Arguably they're more powerful than government. Of course, it's that way in all commercialized countries, not just the United States.

We have good gun control. We don't have people walking around with auto guns, or any military guns, so what if people have a hand gun, or a rifle...it is our right. There should be no gun control, because criminals will ALWAYS be able to get guns. If you are willing to use a gun to shoot someone, then you are willing to get a gun in the black market.

The average desperate poor guy who wants to hold up a store doesn't have the money to pay black market prices, however. And I can point out that Canada's crime rate, especially rape and murder, is a great deal lower than that of the United States.

They're the same as the American ones. They still get paid, just by the government.
