Completely debunked idiocy.

Harvard Study Finds no link between violence and video games:

More of the same from the Journal Science by a professor at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign:

And another study by a professor at Southern Cal:

You really live your life in such fear and outrage don't you? Lots of stress there worrying about crime and cell phones and video games. It's bad for you. You might want to have your heart checked, stress like than can lead to heart disease, which actually is THE leading cause of the death in the United States.





It's a shame you didn't listen to the Podcast.

It's a shame I didn't listen to the numb nuts on talk radio who make their living by preying on and fanning the flames of weak minded people's fears and insecurities?

Please.

I'll go with scientific papers and facts. You see, in all of this what you don't like are facts. You want to deal in emotion, specifically fear, and ignore facts and therefore reality. That's what I have a problem with.

Isn't this a Tulsa crime forum? Isn't Weleetka more than 60 miles from Tulsa?

Next thing you know, you're going to put crime in Kansas on that board.

And I don't get how Promenade is more dangerous, either. The rate there is so low, it's infinitesimal.

Do you suspect they were there "To serve and protect"? Or to Revenue Collect?





call it what you will, but if their presence alone slows down just one distracted driver on a cell phone or gets someone to but their seat belt on, then they have done their job.  I bet you think anytime you see an OHP officer with someone pulled over, they are automatically getting a ticket.  Ask any OHP and I would say 85-90% of them say they write more safety contacts then actual tickets.  

The cop's presence alone gets you to slow down, not run a red light, and pay attention.  If it saves just one life, they have done their job.

You best be calling up all them Ron's Hamburger outfits and tell them they shouldn't be selling those Chicken Sandwiches.

And if I lived in Red Fork, going to the Promenade would seem nice.

Any of you ever heard of "Sexting" ?

Porky... I sure as h#ll hope you are able to attract a large enough audience, to your on and off attempt at running a forum, that you will stay the heck off of here.

How many times do you show up with this "original" idea that needs to become a forum..?

The answer:... Ever since your forum fell apart.

This one has a real original feel to it....

Kinda like a cross between "Stag" , "True Crime"...and "True Detective"

Just be careful...! You might attract that one in so many million.... Real life... Hannibal Lecter..... And you know that people in Oklahoma  love them some pork BBQ..

it just might work... Unless there is a law that punishes people for bad taste...

Oh well.. Good Luck..............

Which is more likely to put you in the hospital, a criminal or a car accident?



Neither. I wear my seatbelt and I carry a gun.

Seriously, take those "undercover" Impalas and that grey Charger running around. Were those vehicles made for ANY other purpose than revenue collection?

Sure its nice when they pull over a drunk driver or a reckless idiot, but they don't draw any lines. They'll sack you for doing 68-mph down 169, and that, quite simply, is dumb.

You guys like a police state, well good for you because we've got one, and it will only get worse from here out.





Hawkins.... I gotta know... Is this what you look like when you are out cruisin around with your Revolver...?

Maybe those that claim crime isn't bad in Tulsa, should call up the Mayor and tell her to quit wasting your tax money on TPD staking out the eastside for armed robbers.
Ped checking anyone walking around apartment complexes.

On a side note , watch for apartment complexes having their own little gangs. [;)]

This isn't an effort to have a positive discussion on Tulsa and look for solutions to crime. This is trying to keep crime as a hot topic to keep people scared.





I disagree. Alert maybe, but not scared.

I own a local store, and check the news daily to see if there have been any robbery or overnight burglary attempts in my area.

Already favorited this new website.




Here is your flaw. Thinking the news covers even 50% of the crime.

Isn't this type of post discouraged? Just writing a few words to post a link to their website on a thread they started falls under the title "self-promotion", IMHO.
