Crime : Perception versus reality.



The above video shows how in South Africa that crime has in fact been dramatically decreasing , while quite paradoxically the perception overall is that it has increased. While this is in my opinion due to a huge dose of scaremongering and blatant b#llshit posted by a lot of South African expats and racist media with an agenda , it's not a uniquely South African trend. As the video points out the same phenemena is occuring in Australia and Britain. Places where I'd like to point out , there's a recent upsurge in people who are anti immigration. Looks like were not the only country who seems boogey men in anyone different.

If you knew anything about how iq tests were forumlated , they were not made to bridge cultures. They took sucessful white men and said "Right..that's intelligence" and they set out to test for similarities. They are inherintely biast to western individuals as they test for traits common in western culture. They are not a valid test of intelligence...any social scientist could tell you this.

I'd wish you'd stop arguing with me...i'm smarter and better informed. Accomodate and assimulate and move on.

On another note..you're wrong about the testosterone , but it's well known to be the most creative force in the known universe. Don't get mobbed in feminist agendas. The key to adressing undesirable aggressive social behaviour is not to look at testosterone , but to look at how society callously abuses it's young men and nurtures them in an environment with no emotional support structures. To keep saying men are violent and need to be dealt with harshly is to perpetuate the problem.

Nice try. The bloggers here know that unless my name is used to write something intelligent , thought provoking and awesome , then it's not really me. I'm not a liberal (i'm a libetarian) and i'm not white. I very much do want equality between the sexes...what we have now is not equality , it's a society which treats women like princesses and men like slaves.

Aids , crime and baby rape are all extremely exageratted. I've never contradicted that statement once because it's obviously true.
