Anyone else alittle paranoid of knife attacks?

The New testament wasn’t written by the disciples at all. Those about twenty seven canonical books were written about 80-150 AD. But there were many other books dealing with the life and ideology of Jesus and early Christians. The canon was definitely confirmed about Saint Augustine times. Thats after the First Council of Nicaea.

Your definiton of what menas the word “Bible” is also highly problematic.

Just my two cents.

bit rich from someone who has no experience of europeans as youve never left the US .
also he is clearly british so dont refer to him as european most brits dont appreciate it

Let me get back to the original point, before it got to the British empire and school massacres…

First of all, if you talk about paranoia regarding knife attacks, then the question is: do you live in a place where a knife attack is probable, or not? Sure, there is no place where the probability would be zero, but I guess there is a difference between US midwest where there are next to none or United Kingdom where they have so many knife attacks that there are even serious calls to ban pointed kitchen knives.

Imagine you would live in such a country and the only thing you could do about your fear is going to a psychiatrist to get some pills to ease down, while being still at mercy of gangsters and psychopaths. Or imagine being a woman in Scandinavia, for example Sweden, where they have 1 in 4 chance they will be raped during their life. If two daughters, mother and grandmother sit by the table, statistically, one of them most probably either is or will become a rape victim. Again, if they are too worried about it, the only thing they can do is getting some pills to ease down and hope they won’t become part of the statistic.

Unless you are in California, Maryland or some other idiotic may issue=no issue part of US, you are lucky enough to have the right to defend yourself, and moreover you are even luckier that you have the right to defend yourself with the most effective tool available to a civilian, i.e. firearm.

Merely getting one will make you as safe as buying piano makes a person pianist, so getting a firearm is only the beginning. You need to train your skills with it, but more importantly you need to change your behavior in order to minimilize the risks, i.e. don’t get the “noone can touch me now” feeling after being armed. Be always allert.

For the start, I very much recommend these two books (notwithstanding if you start carrying a gun or not):

Knife attacks are especially dangerous because knives are easily available, easily concealable, easily useable, and at arm’s length they can be to a large extent more dangerous than a pistol. Even stupid drunk kids get extremely dangerous if they get their hands on them - we have every year hundreds of cops more on duty in Prague during school holidays in Denmark (Danish kids are known for being especially violent). If you have the possibility to effectively defend yourself, take it. Don’t become a victim.

Here we are back to that the behavior of a few people, Is used to say that all people from that group is like that.

some blacks riot = ALL blacks riot.
Or
some danish teenagers behaved like idiots back in 2013… = all danish kids are violent.

That said, I find that behavior disgraceful.

The bible was partially written by the disciples but i was wrong about all of them doing it.

Yeah pretty much everyone who lives in America knows that sandy hook was completely staged.

guns are not the answer , guns are the problem , how can you people not see this !
america will never be free for as long as they feel to be safe you must carry a weapon .

knife crime is not a huge problem in the UK or most European nations , if you do not look for it you will not find it . if you live an honest life stay away from drugs , then you will be fine. if you choose to go down a life of crime then you will be a victim of an attack somewhere .
9/10 who get stabbed are little thug rats . ( regardless of race )

so to counter that you think its clever to make guns more reachable and available ?

Areas in the united states that have more guns in the hands of citizens have lower gun crime than gun free zones. Not to mention the thousands that are saved by guns each year.

Yeah. That’s not right. Everybody should speak about xx = 90% xx. Exception are everywhere :slight_smile:

Im done trying to argue with you have no idea how black people in America act you are in a country with a 97% white population out of 5 million people. Maybe they act more like humans and less like animals in your country. But in America the vast majority use every excuse they can to riot and loot. The situation in Ferguson has gotten so bad we have the national guard there. That being said there are black people who are hard working and act like humans here. Most of them live in bad areas because our president and his administration encourage them to stay on welfare and food stamps telling them they don’t have to work and the government and tax paying citizens will take care of them.

Please watch this video.
This guy is a hard working black guy who acts normally.

In Europe, we have the same issues with gypsies (not all of them are bad, but ±98% are). So most of the people know what are you talking about.

Look, George, if you live in a place where there is a next-to-none chance of being attacked - well, good for you. But guess what - there are millions of people who are not so lucky. For them, it may not necessarily be a knife, it may be a baseball bat, a kick in the head or a rapist. They don’t need to have anything to do with gangs or drugs, they just live their normal life, only don’t have enough money to move to a completely safe location.

Do I believe that all law-abiding citizens should have easy access to firearms in a way that effectively prevents thugs from getting them too? Hell yes. There are great gun laws in the Czech Republic and in Estonia - both allow relatively easy concealed carry and self defense. And it works very well.

And even if you think you don’t need a gun to defend yourself from a thug, then think of the dogs. Nothing but a bullet stops a raging dog. And so little as a roller-skater mistakenly crashing into a large dog (otherwise nice and non-threatening) in a park can change a nice sunny day into a moment where the only thing you will be able to do is calling the cops, waiting for them to come and meanwhile watching the person attacked being torn into pieces. Or shooting the beast.

Not to mention a larger percentage of attacks the criminal is usually on some sort of drug like meth they cant be stopped with mace or a tazer.

I never said they weren’t humans i said they don’t act like humans. I have just as much disrespect towards white people who act like this. Its clear all you can do is call me racist and ignore everything i am telling you. Please watch the video i linked above. I had major flooding going on in my home state last year and many white teenagers took this advantage to loot. When someone destroys someone property and steals their possessions for simply the fun of it yes i would say they are acting like animals and i have no respect for them. How ever after the flooding stopped the looting generally stopped. But in Ferguson there is still rioting even though the majority of the evidence is pointing in the cop being attacked. This shows the people don’t give a shit about the guy killed they only want to use it as an excuse to riot and loot.

look at places that have no guns , far lower gun crime than in the US .

im not some tree hugging anti-guns loon , in fact i love guns and have fired many but in a safe controlled environment i dont believe anyone should be able to gain access for the simple reason they’re so god damn easy to use and kill on mass with , if you increase the number of guns then you increase the number of people who will use them therefore increasing gun crime .
you keep coming back to this "Areas in the united states that have more guns in the hands of citizens have lower gun crime than gun free zones"
but you are overlooking the fact that thats because them areas dont work because you can get a gun in a no gun restrictions area and drive to a gun restricted area hassle free and shoot people ,
where as in the UK out of 65 million people around 1 million have firearms legally so gun crime is low because not many have acess and the illegal weapons are hard to get hold of and if you did you might only get 3 rounds

so you should shoot them and kill them ? when whats most likely happening is they;re just not in control and dont deserve to be shot .

also a taser would still work if hit in the chest as the current across the chest would paralize all signles to the brain and they would be disabled , if done for too long would kill them … source: being an electrician

So why does the UK as a whole, being completely unarmed nation, about the same homicide rate as the Czech Republic, where you can easily get a license for concealed carry?

Why is Prague many, many times safer than London (or Paris, or Brussels - which is especially dangerous), even though there are at least 20.000 civilians who have license to carry a concealed firearm in Prague, whereas there are probably even not that many cops allowed to carry one in London?

Because the use of firearms is limited by demand and supply, not by laws. That being said owning firearms don’t represent viable solution because they probably won’t help you that much in case of an attack. The best solution is a happy and educated society which means low crime rates.

Just my two cents. :wink:

never been to london then i take it …armed police are everywhere in london .
the UK is not a complete unarmed nations at all guns are not illegal in the UK providing you have a reason to own one and a suitable area in which to use said firearm

Czech Republic have tight regulations on who has firearms its not like the USA in fact its pretty similar to the UK apart from hand guns , unlike the USA you have to have a weapons permit to have a weapon and cannot just buy one based on a background check alone .

you should aim for a life where you do not need to worry about having to defend yourself not one when you live in constant fear and never leave the house without a sidearm
