ORIGINAL: WickedsDesire No Mean Citya finer book I have read. But it was a good book I just cannot remember a bloody thing about it due to my ongoing senility, raving lunacy issues and gargantuanion-hmm why is the not a word of my man parts. No Mean City is a 1935 novel by H. Kingsley Long, a journalist, and Alexander McArthur, an unemployed worker. It is an account of life in the Gorbals, a run-down slum district of Glasgow (now mostly demolished, but re-built in a contemporary style) with the hard men and the razor gangs. The Warriors Trailer Caaan you dig it - he says in voice of timbre. Guns kill - end of story - there is no counter argument for their prolific ownership in America and the chaos and plethora (even that word does not do the carnage justice)souls they depart from this mortal coil do you actually believe they can get accurate figures from America regarding Gun death & violence - hmm But here is curious story that made me laugh and weep. Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence Nuggets from the not tall tale 1. The home front: So many people die annually from gunfire in the US that the death toll between 1968 and 2011 eclipses all wars ever fought by the country. According to research by Politifact, there were about 1.4 million firearm deaths in that period, compared with 1.2 million US deaths in every conflict from the War of Independence to Iraq. Just deaths mind. I could go on a cite wiki stats - I wept the first time I looked at them and made my first reply to a guns thread where some clown rambled incoherent nonsense. And I enquired many things eg why he needed so many guns if he had but two hands and wondered why he thought people killed people not the actual gun. And if was true if I could purchase a bazookah, sherman tank 4 pack muffins at his local store and a mace so I could reprogram him, rigorously vigorously. Where gun ownership is more readily accessible, easy to get etc then Death rates are higher last time I checked 40 fold higher than in the UK..true sameish legal system.. I like when someone cites the second amendment, fails to mention the patriot act spying on everyone - a rampant paranoia that surpassed the Soviets of old and that awful book War and Peace not that I got past page 60 on account of my brain leaving my head at the hurryup and in the manner known as violent. More than one link is an investment of my time...I pretty much think none on here, or any other thread, anywhere, will change their minds-saves those who unfortunately experience it first hand. here is a better link, wicked second favourtie clip of all time who can name his first - or does noone pay attention to his mad rambles? as I find my post depressing, pointless futile, factually accurate and with a few smiles. And some previous, and latter no doubt, points of view invalid and nonsensical, with so many omissions Bionic Bigfoot Fight Scene - Six Million Dollar Man Fu*kity me they just dont make TV like that nowadays Did Steve need a fu*king tommy gun to defeat a robotic Alien sasquatch No he did not Muffin edit as I feel quantity of souls is omitted Wiki page Annual gun deaths in America perhaps 40 000 per year - I have never been able to glean an accurate figure....→ More than 100,000 people in America are shot in murders, assaults, suicides & suicide attempts, accidents, or by police intervention. 31,537 people die from gun violence: ✓ 11,583 people are murdered. ✓ 18,783 people kill themselves. is surprised you still have a population Do most people have super strong bionics? No they do not. Did bigfoot have weapons? No he did not.
