This suggests that up to 1 in 333 people (0.3%) in the US (and other high murder countries) is a murderer. Given that the study being discussed tells us that violent crimes mostly stems from repeat offenders, would that not suggest that the rough estimates you show above assume that murderers only commit one murder, and that your calculation should take into consideration repeat murderers?
@TriumphalP@ArthurMacwaters You're right. Saying that 0.2% of any population is a murderer is a gross exageration. The OP didn't get that figure from the study he's quoting. He either made a mistake or is making stuff up.
@ronmortgageguy Well Ron, what rate does Canada borrow at, and what rate of return can it expect its Sovereign Wealth Fund to generate? How do you think banks are so rich? That said, I'm with you on the Space port and the Alto project.
Warren this question looks like a moral dilema but it isn't. Both options offer the possibility for everyone to live. Your choice is whether you pick the certainty of living or put your fate in the hands of strangers. Picking the latter should lead to a doomed attempt at saving those who didn't read the question properly.
@EricRStPierre Canadian here. I like the US and it has great opportunities, but not interested in the citizenship. Canada consistently ranks higher in freedom, prosperity, security, health, lifespan, education, etc. I also don't want to be taxed on my worldwide income.
@EricRStPierre@Mattpetti32@grok which is the freest country in the world, where does USA rank, and why do Americans keep saying they rank #1? Also, which is the most prosperous country in the world?
@Nick_Decap A bit of context for our American friends whose gleeful replies assume Canada is doomed. The NDP party holds 6 seats out of 343 (1.75%). How does that compare to your Dems? Three major parties for the win! BTW, great post Nick!
If you use an AI model to make a business plan, is the AI "helping" you? The lawsuit states: "The shooter used their second OpenAI account to continue PLANNING scenarios involving gun violence....." That sounds like the lawsuit DOES allege that ChatGPT did "help the shooter kill kids".
Just finding out about this proposed bill and have yet to take a position. But what's clear is that the name is horrible. Hate, however distasteful, is an emotion. People have a right to their emotions. But when paraphrased, this bill is called The Combatting [Emotions] Act, and should be a non-starter.
