Lol@Smokes you and me both!


@Skandar, your response broke me head! You know without getting into stating every statistic in theory it works in reality it is a disaster. And please Cops w/o guns... wow? When the call goes out for man w/ a gun, and he kills 5 before your backup with a weapon shows up, everyone will begin to question why don't all officers have sidearms, because he would or could have been stopped sooner and preserved the loss of life.

Here, here Skander

@Skandar .. You werent trying to talk sence about guns to a yank were you ??

That was a noble attempt at some really big words, but next time SPELL CHECK so you don't look like a m0r0n.

I don't care for Brit sportscars

but like the brit top gear over the US top gear

in the last decade over 25% of Detroit moved out. this was a result of corruption in the city government and riots in the streets. no one did anything effective to stop it.

in the past few weeks in Philadelphia the same thing is happening. however, in this case the black mayor and police chief are saying that the riots are being conducted by stupid ignorant thugs and that their actions will not be condoned. let's see if this works better than what the PM said about youth "not knowing the difference between right and wrong". horse hockey

country in recession but tuesday our CPMH was double our daily goal
and the company is not in a recession
new stores lanes are always active except the holidays
we are busting out stores like a simcountry CEO
and we are expanding our internal industrial vehicles from crown
Houston does no go in recession it grows
maybe those Detroit people moved to Texas
I wish the local pro teams would perform as well as the businesses
ExxonMobil I guess the real heavy hitter

That's a bad example. Detroit always sucked.

@Lord Eddie "You weren[']t trying to talk [sense] about guns to a yank were you?"
How foolish of me. Us Europeans generally don't get Americans obsession with firearms. I believe you can get rifles & shotguns with the correct licence in this country, for hunting grouse and foxes and the like (from horseback, dressed in plus fours, handlebar moustache optional). Not sure how useful these would be in an urban shoot-out scenario.

@Psycho Honey "And please Cops w/o guns... wow?"
Works when it's difficult for criminals to get hold of guns.

"everyone will begin to question why don't all officers have sidearms"
Well, occasionally someone does pop up with a gun, and yet this question never gets asked, usually because said nutter goes on the run and it takes time to find him. Last case like this in England was

Well....... Brits drive on the wrong side of the road!!!!!!!! And, they eat disgusting stuff. Research 'Black Pudding'. I rest my case. :P

@Lorelei: "And, they eat disgusting stuff. Research 'Black Pudding'."

I can do no better than quote the quotable Stephen Fry, "This from a country which makes spray-on cheese!"

ROFL

Got to admit Jan, Skander's got a point

And, just because left is the opposite of right, doesn't mean it's wrong. LOL

Hugs and respect

Fine. Marmalade. I detest marmalade. Who wants rinds and pulp in their jam?

ahhh back to the good ol days...sat at my grans eating tripe and onions, mmmm ;P

Back to the topic, I live in Australia, which has some of the strictest gun control in the world. Homicide rates here are lower than in the US, far lower in fact.
I honestly do not see the logic in saying that the more guns, the safer the community. Us Australians used to be the same as the US- gun lovers at heart- but then one morning in Tasmania some nut went around and massacred a few dozen people, and we decided to give them up for the greater good.
Now look at us- crime rates are lower than ever, we don't need to lock our doors at night (although I still do) and the police have scrapped guns for tasers because there is no real need for so much firepower.
There is a direct correlation between the number of guns in a country and the homicide rate.
The less guns=the safer the community.
Thats why the US has a homicide rate higher than any other developed nation in the world. That is why there are more people in America&#

lol and what pray tell is wrong wif cheese in a spray can???? i think it rather brilliant. :P

and omg Blue....... dun u dare get any of those ideas when you cook MY meals!!!!

I will never get over black pudding. I'm scarred for life! And I thought Oxy's use of saran wrap was traumatizing!!! (Oxy = WhiteDarkness)

Blame everything on guns Cuz it wasn't our government that killed JFK it wasn't a crazy lone gun man. Who had really good aim with a crappy rifle. A crazy person can always get a gun off the streets. If a criminal really wants a gun they don't walk into a gun store, wait 2 weeks, and then go on a killing spree. Guns in the wrong hands is the problem. The government makes money off the sales of arms. I mean look a US government agency in charge of protecting US citizens sold guns to a Mexican drug cartel. And all they say is Yes we fu*%ed up. Without guns the people can't protect themselfs,the criminals would still kill people,and the government would tell you to shut the ?uck up. Freedom isn't free all the soldiers that died for this great country are rolling over in their graves. Did u not listen to the JFK post. Go back listen to it until u hear him say an announced need for security. Listen to his words. They are trying to disarm

You're dillusional. Saying that having a gun will protect you is rubbish. Saying that people will win a war against their own government with guns (at least in the developed world) is rubbish.
There is a thing called peaceful protest.
Also, ever wondered what that crazy person who went around shooting people would have done had he not had access to a gun.
My country has survived without guns, even when there are three huge and overly populated countries (*cough* Indonisia *cough* India *cough* China) eyeing off our huge natural resources and open fields (I live in Australia, which happens to have a low crime rate thanks to stricter gun control- thank god.)
Yes, things happen that we don't see which are horrendous, awful. The fact is however that the world governments/illuminati/alien infiltrators (whatever you believe in) aren't out to kill you, the US, Australia, and Euro

Tom Morgan, I am very pro gun as it pertains to a person's right to self defend. For you to say to believe in such is delusional is very wrong of you. I promise you this....every criminal will have access to a gun whether it is legal or no. So us law abiding citizens who don't because it is the law, let's say, will stand there protectionless????? Is that right? Rubbish, I say. I'm the daughter of law enforcement... you ask a police officer their thoughts on the topic.

Having said this, I am not in favor of violent protests. But I promise you this, it is the 'riff raff' who do so. Your decent person and law abiding citizen wouldn't behave in such a mannerism.

You call me delusional, I'll nuke ya or have ya nuked! How u like them apples? :P

Hey lori dont steel my line, how do u like them apples i already said something loke that somewhere on this thread.
