Crime

Any of you people out there want to take a guess at what causes crime?

I will. Just remember the principle of Occam's Razor, the simplest theory that fits the facts of a problem is the one that should be used.

Anyway, you're probably thinking enough of this scientific gibberish right? Well, quite frankly yes. Just remember Occam's Razor if you read this blog. :-)

Anyhow, my theory for the cause of crime is that criminals simply lack respect for the persons and properties of others.

Yes, it is that simple. You see, if a man steals someone else's car, it's not because he was socially oppressed or some other crock of baloney that people may try to pass off on you. It is not because he was striking out at an oppressor. It is because, he [as a thief] does not respect the right of the other guy to own the car that he earned. Well, he didn't exactly earn the car. He earned the money which he spent on the car. It's pretty much the same thing though.

Does it account for all of the facts? Well, lets look at some of them. Mr. Car Thief dude obviously thought that he had more right to the car than the guy that bought it right? Yes of course. Otherwise he would not have stolen it. In other words, the Mr. Thief Dude did not respect the right or the owner of the car to the car that he had earned. It's just that simple. Teach people to respect the lives and property of others for a crime free U.S. of A.
