    We should not lose our Christian identity. Our system of morality stems from the basic tenants in the judaeo/Christian faith. This is coming from someone who hasn't done a religious thing since 13.

    Anything short of Jesus returning will not stop the decline of religion in the west. I expect it to get down to a fanatical base kind of like what the Mormons have with Utah. I think they will get a stranglehold on about 4 or 5 states. Their elected officials will be treated like slack jawed hill billies by everyone else.

    That it reflects a notably low murder rate for such a large city?

    Turns out the Venezuelan Bolivar is actually worth about 30% less than previously thought. The Bolivar has lost 99.99% of its value over The last 5 years with annual inflation over 6,000 percent. It now takes almost 50k Bolivar to equal 1 dollar. It was already so worthless it was used as confetti and toilet paper. Credit card machines can't process transactions because they can't process that many digits. The rate of annual inflation over the first 3 months of this year is 82,000 percent........

    I mean, maybe it’s just me, but I can think of plenty of reasons why someone might want to carry a knife in 2018 London Town.

    People are totally willing to give up their ability to defend themselves against people who break the law. How did we get here? Has the indoctrination worked this well?
