French laws in the 17th century decreed that the tips of table and street knives be ground smooth. A century later, forks and blunt-ended table knives were introduced in the UK in an effort to reduce injuries during arguments in public eating houses.

The Russians (post revolution) had millions who did not accept communism labeled as "mentally ill" and sent off to the gulags (camps). Hmmmm....history starting to rhyme if not repeat.

Is interesting. I went on furious googling and reading.
Noticed that one of the Columbine kids, James Holmes, and Martin Bryant (port arthur) all were seeing psychiatrists. There are many that didn't seem to be, but medical records are sealed so it's hard to research....

The fluorided dumbed down sheeple of your country is going to be the nail in the coffin for the world as we know it.
It starts with America and when thats done, the rest of the world can kiss their freedoms goodbye also.
Just the fact that the future of the world as we know it lies in the hands of american citizens makes me worried to say the least. Cause juding from what Ive seen your people accomplish so far when it comes to protecting your rights... well nedless to say I dont have much hope and expectations anymore.
Most of you cant even see whats happening. And goddamnit youve had at least since 911 to see all the signals and warnings and you still keep doing what youve always done.
Consuming and burying your heads in the sand.
So basically your bending over and at the same time not even being aware of who youre getting screwed by....
