//The fools who adopted Spock and other ideologies are reaping the fruit of their stupidity.//

Spock? Really? It's science fiction, runner. With the emphasis on the fiction part.

Nobody really believes in the Teachings of Surak, in exactly the same way that nobody who writes 'Jedi' on their census actually believes they can use the Force. It seems to me that you're taking light entertainment far too seriously. Let us hope that you never watch 'Dr. Who'; if a man was to try and interpret that literally he'd have to tie his brain into a Gordian Knot, and that wouldn't be pretty.

Live long and prosper, runner of Australia.

Suseonline,

To state the rather obvious again, since you continue to duck, it is the systemic and well-entrenched political correctness that prevails in Australia that works to prevent the collection and analysis of numbers to deliberately conceal anything that might be construed as reflecting negatively on that policy (multiculturalism) and the incomes and careers associated with it.

Toni,
He's talking about Benjamin Spock, as you well know:

The scattergun approach of the Royal Commission guarantees its failure to make a scrap of difference.

Drugs are the cause. Men are the cause. Women are the cause. This or that race is the cause. Place of residence is the cause. Gambling is the cause. Alcohol is the cause. Etc. etc. etc. Nothing will happen to reduce any of them.

All this sidesteps the actual cause of ALL violent crime, domestic or otherwise: Violent criminals. Those that do violence obviously cause violence. Without them doing violence there would be no violence. So the challenge is to stop violent criminals committing violent crime.

So lock them up. For decades. Under harsh and inexpensive conditions. No excuses - drug problem, gambling problem, anger problem, frustrated sense of entitlement, clumsy nappy training - whatever. One size fits all.

What the Royal Commission can do is to explore and identify ways of making sure all violent criminals are caught and locked up for a substantial proportion of the rest of their lives.
