RE: Fear is real. Ebony and Ivory does not live in perfect harmony.

Thank you for your comment. You are so right...... you just gave me wonderful idea for a community project I have been meaning to start. South Africa is not far behind on the guns though. Believe it or not, I don't go ANYWHERE without my gun. Like underpants lol ... The regulations here for owning a gun is just very strict. Hence the reason that there are so many illegal fire arms. Everyone is out to protect themselves. Instead of coming together to actually clear up issues, people tend to just do what they believe in. There is an absolute diversion between all cultures and races. The absolute most horrifying about all of this is that people get away with all the crime. Ever heard the saying, churces are empty because jails are full? Everything is going downhill. I am not a racist and I believe everyone should have their little place in the sun, but the rainbow nation is overpowering the sun over here. BUT I totally agree with you by what you said about empowering women. Very wise words indeed...

Thank you and I'm glad I could help. There is always something to be done about any situation. All dichotomies are false.

Ease of legal gun ownership is key to controlling violence in the short term. Areas of the USA with the highest per capita legal gun ownership rates also have the lowest crime rates, this is not a coincidence. It's because you know damn well that stealing and terrorizing people will have a price in blood if you try. It raises the risk vs reward to the point that it's not worth it.

The BS about racial differences is just that BS. Literally the genetic differences between any two people could fit on a floppy disk. In fact it's so tiny, that one of my future projects is a blockchain specifically for health and medical data, with genetic information storage as part of the key structure.

This would be as a hedge against a "grey goo" event from the day when someone decides to download an app to their body and the app "goes viral".

Anyways yes people learn from their mommas. Their mommas need to be empowered to educate their children that this situation is just not right and that honor is far more important than what it is in those cultures right now.

When you die, this is the legacy you leave behind. Do you want a legacy that is more of the same, or do you want to be the one to change the world?
