This world is scary... and I wouldnt be surprised if more people develop fears of being outside their home. Like...you can't go to school, a concert, a movie, a bike ride, shopping at basic Wal-Mart anymore without wondering if you'll die today just going about your daily activities... It’s been like that since forever Even if people say - it was so much simpler back then - it wasn’t... that’s just nostalgia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes - **** like this (maybe not gun violence) but horrible things used to happen daily. The media feeds on fear - it gives them viewers. Therefore, yes the media is to blame. It’s pure ignorance to think that our world is going to absolute ****. Just because you THINK that doesn’t mean it actually is. I mean just think of all the massacres that used to happen.

Show me data. Don’t just say it. I mean I’d say the fact that slavery isn’t as widespread and legal is enough to say the past century is better than the last.

One is an annual report by the FBI of serious crimes reported to police in approximately 18,000 jurisdictions around the country. The other is an annual survey of more than 90,000 households conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, which asks Americans ages 12 and older whether they were the victims of crime in the past six months (regardless of whether they reported those crimes to the police or not). Both the FBI and BJS data show a substantial decline in the violent crime rate since its peak in the early 1990s. Your perception of crime and violence doesn't align with the data.
