I have been to DC, and in the South East area, I think, there is lots of crime. Driving down the road, nearly every store was protected by metal fence-type things on the windows. Something I have never seen before, and it obviously told me, that crime was high in the area.

Okay, so say crime in DC is worse than Beruit. Is your position that Bush is infact right for his budget, and that a large portion of money should go to security and defence and that Bush's foreign policy is making America safer? Just want to know what your opinion relating to the topic is because I think were getting a little off the main point.
Also, above I'm not sure if I used the word 'hate', but if I did, I shouldn't have. I don't hate Bush or his people. I hate their policies, I don't hate the people.

hate may be strong but its not too far off, you post your dislike for President Bush quite often. Thats fine, you have your opinion. Our foreign policies can effect you too so I can see your intrest. I also understand your vemon towards Bush is just that towards Bush and not the people. Id like to see places like DC safer but I also want more money into our military. Clinton did some real damage to the military with all his cuts and we need to get back on track. Most of the crime in places like DC are gangs v gangs so to tell the truth they can all kill eachother and it wouldnt bother me. They are not a positive product in our society so lets vote them off the island!

People join gangs because they feel unsafe in their own neighbourhood....They're a product of the environment....You should see the reasons behind historical migration into urban ghettos for most of the ghetto dwellers in your major cities. Doesn't excuse the choice to murder, and I'm not saying noone from those areas aren't at all to blame, but it puts things in perspective....
Fix the environment and you fix the problem. It's not easy, but fuck, you shouldn't have a "fuck them, we're doing okay" attitude towards your own countrymen....
It's not easy getting a foothold in the rat race when you start at the bottom of the stack, living in shit. They'd have to live harder than you did in order to get in the same position as you are in now. (I'm assuming you're a middle class white male from a nice neighbourhood)...

I post quite often because politics is one thing I quite enjoy. Whenever I get a chance to discuss a political topic, I usually jump right in. Does it matter how many times I state it? Whats the difference between stating it once, and 100 times? The only reason you see it is again because I post in most of the political topics.
Also, how is putting more money into the military going to make places safer? You might make other countries safer, but I don't think the military has anything to do with policing local communities. And why is so much money needed for the military? Why are military cuts a bad thing? You have the largers army navy and air force in the world.
