Alabama Shooting

So get out. Guns were used to stop slavery.

I'm going to stick to talking to people with brains today .. you know, the ones that actually have a point and don't come here to vent their frustrations of living a miserable life.

You destroy threads and conversation.

Don't you think you owe the people who work hard to create and administer this forum the decency not to disrupt good intelligent conversation, thus doing your part to bolster their work?

I do.

I bring conversations to a higher level of meaningfulness. Don't hate me for beating your ass, intellectually.

Don't let Asshat get to you BAC. Just hand him a pudding pop and a plastic spoon and he'll be all right.

Besides, he does bring about a certain level of comic releif. :)
 
I've always thought real sanity was over-rated. BAC is a little nuts. He has to be.

But you are correct, there is no comparison.

Well, technically, what the hell is sanity? Were all nuts to some degree. I work with toxic waste for a living. That's just plain nuts!

Besides, the only person I know, other than Asshat, who claims to be sane is the only person I've visited in the 1 North ward doing the thorazine shuffle, if you now what I mean?

Sanity is a Catch-22.
 
Face it dude, you're a flatulant source here and not even the dominant one. Dixie blows you out of the water when it comes to passing gas. Aint that right folks?

I understand you can't face reality. Stupid people always attack notions which force them to reevaluate their previously held beliefs.
 
^^ something crazy people say.

Yes, that's true. You know why? Because it takes a rational thought process to realize that you own actions condemn one self as being crazy. So therefore, if you have the wit to understand that you are bananas on the radiator, you cannot technically be crazy. Does this make any sense to you?

It makes sense syntactically. But it's stupid, contentwise.

I agree with you and I appreciate his comic insanity .. sometimes. If there is one person here who makes me look good, it's AssHate.

But today I'm going to stick to good conversation instead of sinking to his level.

Maybe by tomorrow I'll be in a more clownish mood .. and enjoy playing with the clown.
 
In the end, what does that say?

Germany has stringent gun regulation, yet school kids are being killed.

America, where guns are as plentiful as people, school kids still get killed.

But which one is the more violent nation?

U.S.A. 14.24
Brazil 12.95
Mexico 12.69
Estonia 12.26
Argentina 8.93
Northern Ireland 6.63
Finland 6.46
Switzerland 5.31
France 5.15
Canada 4.31
Norway 3.82
Austria 3.70
Portugal 3.20
Israel 2.91
Belgium 2.90
Australia 2.65
Slovenia 2.60
Italy 2.44
New Zealand 2.38
Denmark 2.09
Sweden 1.92
Kuwait 1.84
Greece 1.29
Germany 1.24
Hungary 1.11
Ireland 0.97
Spain 0.78
Netherlands 0.70
Scotland 0.54
England and Wales 0.41
Taiwan 0.37
Singapore 0.21
Mauritius 0.19
Hong Kong 0.14
South Korea 0.12
Japan 0.05

14.24 vs 1.24 per 100,000 citizens

Not remotely close.

We are higher than even Mexico and Brazil.

Look at the comparison with England where they also have stringent gun control ...

14.24 vs 0.41

The suggestion that gun control doesn't make a difference is untrue.
Your own statistical post negates your argument that gun control laws do make a difference in gun violence.

For instance, Brazil, 2nd from the top as well as Mexico, 3rd from the top, have very stringent gun control laws. OTOH, you can look at Sweden, Switzerland, and ISRAEL(!!), places where private firearms ownership is even higher than the U.S., including legal ownership of full auto firearms, yet far lower incidences of firearms related violence.

Another statistic you totalitarians keep ignoring is the fact that the U.S. leads the world in ALL types of criminal violence: muggings, assault, domestic violence, gang activity, rape, etc. We have become a very violent society in every aspect, and it has NOTHING to do with the availability of firearms.

It's time to quit taking the feel-good politically (and utterly brain dead) approach to our violent society and start actually addressing the problem. Owning firearms does not MAKE a person violent, nor even more likely to use violence. If we want to TRULY address the level of violence in our society, we need to first figure out the real CAUSES of our level of violent crime. WHY are people in today's society so willing to turn to a violence in response to a particular set of circumstances? Why is it road rage has literally turned dangerous, whereas 30 years ago it was limited to gestures and profanity, and wasn't even THAT much another 20 years before? We are NEVER going to get the NEEDED questions answered when mindless totalitarian drones keep harping about firearms. Firearms are NOT the problem.
