You are really dense. I understood exactly what he said. We should get civilized and do it like you do. I don't care how you do it, if you don't like the way we do things don't move here.

And that's exactly the reason I didn't!

Even O'Bama commented "Only in America..." and only the pro-gun Americans perpetuating this nonsense just can't see the disconnect.

Yes I can, Obama is totally disconnected, he has stated that America is fundamentally flawed and needs to be changed. Your arrogance leads you to believe that disagreeing with you implies inability to comprehend, no it just means I disagree. Btw thanks for not moving here, now mind your own business.


The President is pretty well connected. Do you have access to the Pentagon? NORAD? 11 Carrier Fleets? The FBI? CIA? NSA? US Marshals? Secret Service? The President could call any Governor in any state within five minutes if he wanted. He has access to information of just about every kind, and very knowledgeable people on hand or nearby to access for just about what ever issue facing the nation. And a good chunk of the nation actually likes the guy.

Compared to you, the man is very well connected. An yes, America has its flaws. Every nation has its flaws. Some are shared with the nation and others are not. It makes for a good nation to recognize its flaws and work towards removing or mitigating them; rather than just ignoring and hoping they disappear on their own.

Now if your going to say 'mind your own business' to someone outside the nation, its fair for them to say 'mind yours'. Meaning, you can not open your mouth on anyone's foreign policy (the United States or other nations).

Since I avoid comment on how they should handle their internal affairs it is reasonable to suggest they do the same. Foreign affairs can affect them making it their business.

Nah, I didnt think so.



You still haven't learned to speak 'American', PS. 'Conservative' in Brit English means 'Slightly less dangerous Communist' in US English.

Geeze Bama, I go to the gun range and have a night of kinky fun and you let all the Europeans come in and shit all over the place... :( Im so Disappointed in you, you were left in charge :P

Theres no point in comparing how life is in say Italy or the UK in comparison to the US...

One actually has a working government *loosely* thats based on freedom, and the other needs bailed out repeatedly of its troubles because they cant defend themselves when bad people amass power.... germany, russia....

But ya know our gun loving ways are just the reason why Europe is such a nicer place to live then the US... I mean its barbaric over here... We have the highest crime rates of a civilized country in the world... Oh... Wait... We dont....

Seeing as Europe has a higher violent crime per capita rate, perhaps the whole no gun things really a poor idea...

For England and Wales, we added together three crime categories: "violence against the person, with injury," "most serious sexual crime," and "robbery." This produced a rate of 775 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
For the United States, we used the FBI’s four standard categories for violent crime that Bier cited. We came up with a rate of 383 violent crimes per 100,000 people.


Seems like you should read your shit before posting their false ruling is on 4 times more violence not more violence...

their own research shows more violent crime in the UK then the US...

Nope, I read the entire link without cherry picking shitbreather.

Their own research shows no such thing, read the entire article you ignorant boy.

"Recorded crime data are problematic due to definitional issues, reporting rates and other concerns," said Shane D. Johnson, a professor in the University College of London Department of Security and Crime Science. "There may also be considerable variation across counties, or states."

When we presented the Skeptical Libertarian blog post and our own research to the source of the meme -- Adam Kokesh, a libertarian activist -- an aide to Kokesh sent us the original link from the Daily Telegraph and said, "We appreciate the close eye on that post and all the research."

Our ruling

The meme said "there are over 2,000 crimes recorded per 100,000 population in the U.K.," compared to "466 violent crimes per 100,000" in the United States. Our preliminary attempt to make an apples-to-apples comparison shows a much smaller difference in violent crime rates between the two countries, but criminologists say differences in how the statistics are collected make it impossible to produce a truly valid comparison. We rate the claim False.

Why dont you come out from behind the sock?

Howz about this -
"The comparison of violent crime statistics between countries is usually problematic, due to the way different countries classify crime. Valid comparisons require that similar offences between jurisdictions be compared. Often this is not possible, because crime statistics aggregate equivalent offences in such different ways that make it difficult or impossible to obtain a valid comparison. Depending on the jurisdiction, violent crimes may include: homicide, murder, manslaughter, assault, sexual assault, rape, robbery, negligence, endangerment, kidnapping (abduction), extortion, and harassment. Different countries also have different systems of recording and reporting crimes".

Many of the minor crimes just aren't recorded in the US whereas they are in the UK.
That would more than account for the disparity between the two figures.


UNODC's global study
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has a site called Global Study on Homicide. The data for tables with UNODC in the headers comes from that site, unless indicated otherwise with references in the table. Rates are calculated per 100,000 inhabitants. Intentional homicide in this case is defined as unlawful death purposefully inflicted on a person by another person

I've bolded the parts for comparison to save your eyes from scouring the text.

Quick reference -
Canada 1.6 543
United States 4.7 14,173
United Kingdom 1.0 653

These figure would seem to kick your link out the window as being biased and incorrect.

Back about 6 weeks ago, we had the shooting spree in Las Vegas. A couple who was too extreme for the militia out at Bundy's ranch, were asked to leave, so they decided to go on a rampage and shoot up a Walmart. A man with a carry permit tried to intervene, got the drop on one of the suspects, but didn't know that the wife was also involved and was himself shot. People here mocked his death. Did you criticize them for doing so? Where was your empathy then?

Do you think that folks who voluntarily involve themselve in a gunfight should get a kings x from being a target?

You are thinking small, Bama. No guns = no problems. I mean, imagine if they had tried to commit the Rwandan genocide with garden tools or something


A machete is a garden tool.

Indeed, because we all know a perfect world would be one in which all murders and cripplings were by stabbing, electrocution, beating or other forms of mayhem. So long as there's no gun involved, it's all cool bra'.

This would be yet another one of your ignorant unsubstantiated opinions.

NOT TO REPLY TO ANYONE --- Just a bit of humor to lighten the mood. Lots of truth to it though.

The Coyote Principle

The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out of the brush and attacks the Governor's dog. The Governor starts to intervene, but then reflects on the movie "Bambi" and realizes that the coyote is only doing what comes natural. The coyote then attacks the Governor and bites him before running off.

The Governor calls animal control. Animal control captures the coyote and bills the state $500 for testing it for diseases and $1000 for relocating it.

He then calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and then bills the state $250 for testing the carcass for diseases and $500 for disposing the dogs body in an "environmentally friendly" way.

The Governor goes to the hospital and $5000 of state insurance money getting checked out for diseases and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

The running trail is shut down for 6 months while the Fish and Game Commission conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure that the area is now safe for people to use and that all dangerous animals are gone.

The Governor then spends $50,000 in state funds to implement a "coyote awareness program" for residents in the area.

The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.

The Governors security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training in stopping a coyote attack. The fired agent sues the state for unlawful dismissal and, settles it for $500,000.

PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million lawsuit against the state.

*****************

The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out of a brush and attacks the dog.

The Governor takes his state issued pistol and shoots the coyote and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent 50 cents on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. The buzzards eat the dead coyote.

And that my friends is why California is broke and Texas is NOT!!

Ain't nobody here the friend of a loudmouth moro.
California is about the tenth largest economy in the world and texas is not even on the list.

They are called "jokes," Ron, and the best ones contain some kernel of truth that make them even funnier.

When do you plan on coming up with one that contains that kernel you speak of?
