This is a warring culture that takes advantage of the weak and the poor. They call it capitalism an it is severely cruel to those below the poverty lines. Beneath the poverty lines are a subculture obsessed with violence. Some members of this subculture form gangs that run drugs and stolen goods through the black market. They also take advantage of others  who are poor and or weaker than they are.\n There are many in these cultures and subcultures who continue a bloody tradition of destroying and decimation of those not part of their belief system. the majority of the people in this country are blind to the evil doings of our government or they support it. Some of this includes racisms, Puritanism, social and religious segregation.. With in the last two years the "middle class of this country were swallowed up by the ballooning inflation generated by a greedy, selfish, heartless, cold and  capitalistic machine.

Oh come on! Italians had the mafia (a much organized gang) Puerto Ricans have gangs, and don't forget the Irish. Even white gangs  have existed, remember the ones with white sheets and white hoods) that went around killing Black Americans.  Gangs is not=Mexicans. Steal stuff? hey know lots of white collars who steal stuff (ENRON) And talking about illegal, how about all the businesses  illegally hiring illegals in the first place.  What an immature argument you put forth here.

Pick an ethnicity and you'll find thieves and fighters. When the show focused on particular groups or areas, it was only one show of many. Another show would focus on another group. I do agree that when noncitizens commit crimes (especially repeatedly) they should be sent back to their home country. However, you want to be very careful about your evidence before you make such generalizations. Even if you observe something, you may not be seeing the whole picture.

Wow!\n\nViolence is violence.  White, black, indian, chinese, japanese.\n\nI am a young black man and totally disagree with violence as a means of solving problems.  Violence may solve an immediate problem, but down the road it creates 10 fold what it solved.  \n\nIt doesn't matter what kind of person you are because color is irrelavant. You have to stand up for yourself and you are very much right in you doing so.  \n\nDon't let someone's ignorance incite hate and anger in you though...\n\n"...We should not judge a man by the color of his skin, but BY THE CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER."\n\n-Martin Luther King Jr.-\n\nPeace...

Racism, ethnocentrism.

Nothing is being shoved down anybodies throat. Just the fear of other cultures, don't forget we are a nation of a variety of cultures blended in this great nation. I grew up in Texas which is a blend of both Spanish culture, German, and European culture. I must agree that there is a vast majority of Mexican movement into this country. But don't blame them, blame the companies who hire them or again blame the lazy a**   Americana's who abuse the welfare system and don't work. So your own culture is being threatened, if so how much do you really know what your own culture is..

Here is my opinion...From what I have seen, Pakistan has been (as a country) cooperative in dealing with violence and terrorism (the War on Terror, if you will...) But as previously stated, there are violent people in ALL societies. To believe that World Peace will ever happen, is a fantasy. I am not being negative, it is just not a possibility in this world. Everyone should look at people as individuals instead of lumping them together with the other people that live in their city, state, country, etc. I know I don't want to be judged based on the things my neighbors do! :)

I am not from the Middle East, but I can say that there has been fighting oging on there for decades!!!  The only reason that we hear more of it now is because in between reports of Janet Jacksons boob flash and how much weight Kirstie Alley lost, the media has to report on something.  There is violence going on like that of the middle east in other places too.  Take a look of the continent of Africa, it's one messed up place to be living too!!!  It's just that the Media hasn't found a focus their to report on yet!

I'd love to have someone like you around, if I were to get attacked. It's scary to think of how apathetic people can be. There is more than one way of getting involved or to help. As long as one can help out, instead of walking away, ignoring it. If it were me, I wouldn't physically get in the middle of the bashing, because I know my limits and weakness. But I would get help, distract, get a large object to swing, etc. There are ways of helping out and getting involved to help our fellow people. Even to give assistance to the victim after the fact. But to walk away, that is uncool... But then again, I can't say that is wise 100% of the time, for there are different social conventions and rules or lack of rules in different cultures, sub-cultures, and countries.

Most Americans are more offended with sex then with violence. Seems the same with most Muslims... Here in Canada we're offended by both when it goes too far but found the story about Janet Jackson only a marketing spoof. No one I know was offended about such a thing.

I had a Pakistani classmate in middle school in the states who was harassed by other students not long after the 911 tragedy. They were making fun of him in the bus and they were saying racial slurs to him in class. It's a sad thing to see how the terrorists' act of hatred had influenced and reinforced some of us to make judgements on people based on their race and/or religion and not on how they are as a person. You can't fight fire with fire.

I think that ethnicity is a factor here.  Some cultures don't like to confront.  Bullet proof suggestion.  Confront a problem head-on.  For example, bring the accounting spreadsheet in and say, I see a problem.  Gone are the days of saying may I see you in private; polite yes.  But gone.  Blunt is in.

Religion has been used as the justification for so much violence. But humans are naturally violent animals. Religion or no, we will always find something to squabble over.

It certainly does. Aggression begets aggression. Violence raises Blood Pressure. Leading to more violence.\nChildren watching it think that is how they should react in real life. Like point a gun to get what you want.  READ :\nDoes violence on TV cause violence in real life? What should be done? \n\n     Thirty murders. Forty beatings. Do these sound like figures from a police report? Guess again. They are the number of violent \nacts that a group of South Carolina sixth-graders observed while watching one hour of prime-time television. \n\n     One hour. \n\n     Last December, the students conducted a survey of TV violence. Each student agreed to watch one hour of prime-time television \nfor four days and record the number of violent acts shown. Only murders and beatings were counted. \n\n     The results shocked many of the students. During the four-day period, they saw a total of 100 murders and hundreds of \nphysical assaults (attacks). One student counted three killings in a commercial for a new movie. \n\n     "I was blown away," Kristi Wannamaker, 12, told JS. "I never realized there was so much violence on television." \n\n     Kristi believes that there should be less violence on TV. But some of her classmates disagree. They say that violence makes TV \ninteresting, and should not be cut back. \n\n     "My friends watch violence and it doesn't affect them," Trevor Jay, 12, told JS. "Most people can handle it." \n\n     Why worry about violence on TV? Some people believe that television violence is partly responsible for the growing amount of \nviolence in America. They say that TV violence should be reduced. But other people disagree, saying that viewers have the right to \nchoose what they watch. What do you think? Does violence on TV influence real life? Should it be cut back? If so, how? \n\n     One thing is sure--TV violence is big. On any given night, you might catch a movie about a woman hiring someone to kill her \nhusband. Another channel might offer "real-life" police stories of arrests and shootings. A cartoon shows characters getting \nflattened against trees or squashed under rocks. Add the violence in music videos and movie ads and you get a lot of killing, \nbeating, and bashing going on. \nIS TV VIOLENCE HARMFUL? \n\n     Some experts think that so much violence is harmful. "There are so many studies showing a relationship between the violence \non TV and violence in people's lives," Diana Zuckerman, a psychologist, told JS. "TV is not just a reflection of what's happening in \nsociety, [it] is also creating violence." \n\n     How does this happen? "You get desensitized," explains Robert E. Gould, a professor of psychiatry and an officer of the \nNational Coalition on Television Violence. "The more violence you see, the less upset you become by it. It just becomes a part of \nyour daily life," Gould told JS. \n\n     What do television viewers think? In a recent survey, 80 percent of the people polled felt that television violence is harmful. \nAbout 72 percent thought that entertainment television (TV programs not including news) shows too much violence. \n\n     WHAT IMPACT ON KIDS? \n\n     How much violence do kids see on TV? According to a study done by the American Psychological Association (APA), a child \nwho watches four hours of television daily will witness 8,000 murders by the time he or she finishes elementary school. \n\n     This worries many experts. They say that young children between the ages of 2 and 5 cannot tell the difference between reality \nand fantasy life. So when they see violence on cartoons, they take it for real. \n\n     It can harm older children, too. A steady diet of violence gives them a skewed (distorted) picture of real life. They may begin to \nthink that violence is an acceptable way to deal with problems. \n\n     "When children watch TV, there's a t
