Iamon lyme: exactly right. I must be smarter than I look because you say smart things and I agree with them!

(V): "Read more via your search engine rather relying on bad thinkers."

You can't find bad thinkers using your search engine? Why, what's wrong with your search engine?

The problem we have in the US isn't so much the bad thinkers as it is the no thinkers. The no thinkers don't realise that reducing the number of bullets in a magazine only means that a killer intent on mass murder will need to take more magazines with him. It won't do anything to stop a mass murderer from waltzing into a gun free zone to do as he pleases, until someone finally shows up to stop him... but most of the time that doesn't happen, and they don't stop until they decide to kill themselves.

And if the no thinkers understood how much hot air has been coming out of Washington they would realise that global temperatures will be rapidly rising. Within a few months from now it should become noticeably warmer. I predict this warming trend will begin peaking in June and July, and by August it could become unbearably hot.

Artful Dodger: "especially those politicians that are long-timers"

Without term limits there is always a strong motivation to do or say whatever it takes to stay in office. A lot of politicians start off with good intentions, but then are tempted to keep their cushy jobs. The same thing can happen to good teachers... tenure can become the goal instead of good teaching.

(V): It certainly wouldn't stop a liberal from having a gun, if that's what he wanted.

As a group liberals don't exactly have a sterling track record when it comes to obeying laws they don't agree with. In principle they would comply with restrictive guns laws because this is what they want, at least for the time being... unless or until they change their minds. When it's about laws they agree with they are adamant about compliance, but with laws they don't agree with they talk about and encourage civil disobedience.

Iamon lyme: Japan has more suicides than the US and they have no gun laws. So it's not about guns anyway. Obama claims it's about "the kids" and yet he never speaks up about the hundreds that die in crime ridden DEMOCRATIC run districts. Detroit was destroyed by the liberals. Moderate liberals are ok but the far left are enemies of all that is decent. I'd even go further and say that the far left are traitors to America.

As for the Right, MANY on the right, especially those politicians that are long-timers, are just as bad as those on the far left. They are incompetent buffoons and need to be first water-boarded, and then put in stocks.

Naked.

(And by the Right I don't mean ANY in the Tea Party)

(V): You didn't include Wales in your stats.

AD said "...the most recent government statistics show gun crimes in England and Wales have gone from 5,209 in 1998 to 9,865 in 2012 -- an increase of 89 per cent."

You said "Of the 30,470 firearm-related deaths in the United States in 2010, 19,392 (63.6%) were suicide deaths, and 11,078 (36.4%) homicide deaths."

It's not a good comparison because not all gun crimes result in death. And it's not clear if suicides are always included in stats showing gun crimes... suicide is illegal but the 'criminal' is also the victim, so whether suicide counts as a gun crime or not is unclear. Also, if gun ownership is almost completely banned in the UK, then how do you account for there being any gun crime? Where did the guns come from and who has them?

A complete prohibition against gun ownership would mean that gun sales and ownership would be illegal instead of legal... and that's all it would mean. It can't actually stop anyone from getting and using a gun.

(V): You'll never take the guns from US citizens without bloodshed. It won't happen.

USA .... 3.6 deaths per 100,000 gun related murder.
UK ... 0.04 deaths per 100,000 gun related murder.

UK
2010: 27
2009: 18
2008: 32
2007: 22
2006: 51
2005: 41
2004: 52
2003: 41
2002: 31
2001: 41
1999: 45
1998: 33

Of the 30,470 firearm-related deaths in the United States in 2010, 19,392 (63.6%) were suicide deaths, and 11,078 (36.4%) homicide deaths.

IE bad American pro gun stats are a straw-man argument.

As shown on TV via Piers Morgan and Alex Jones who couldn't face how little actual gun murders are happening in the UK.

U.S. gun policies are most often compared to that of the United Kingdom's. Following the massacre at Dunblane, the UK enacted a near universal gun ban in 1998. Today the majority of police officers are not allowed to carry a firearm even while on duty, and even the UK Olympic pistol team must fly to Switzerland to practice. All the same, the most recent government statistics show gun crimes in England and Wales have gone from 5,209 in 1998 to 9,865 in 2012 -- an increase of 89 per cent.

will someone answer the phone please!!!

Hell has frozen over!!!

.... All processed meat manufacturers in the UK have been told to check their beef products for traces of horse meat, after a batch of Findus beef lasagne's turned out to be made from....

.... 100% horse meat.

Butchers across the country are seeing even bigger rises in custom.

Morrison's are advertising that all their beef is 100% British.

... unlike other stores. ;P

.... Pantomime horses thankfully have not made it into the food chain!!

(V): If monkeys rule I'd fit right in!

Iamon lyme: mmmmm that reminds me that God is both male and female, and for that reason.. understanding is hard. :P

Artful Dodger: You might wake up to a world where monkey's rule... Jay and Silent Bob style... not Planet of the Apes. lol

Iamon lyme:

(V): tgif

(V): haha that would be fun. Wake me up in 100 years. I'd be like a cave man.

Iamon lyme: ..... you tried!!

Bad idea.... bad bad idea!! lol

Artful Dodger: A certain amount of weight is needed, structural strength being more essential imo... or nowadays.. airbags.

" It worked for Spock. Actually, there is a science behind that idea and as I understand it, it's theoretically possible. But I'll be dead before it's perfected."

.... you could always get frozen....

Iamon lyme: I gotta go. I have to take out the trash, do the dishes, and vacuum. After I'm finished with that I'll ask the boss, er my wife if there's anything else I have to do. Then I'll be back.

I'll show her who's boss!

Iamon lyme: Yeah, I've tried. I even tried to trade her in for an updated model but that didn't work out too well for me. I sang soprano for weeks! Fortunately I'm losing my hearing and I have a strong "ignore" feature built into my brain.

Artful Dodger: "My wife auto corrects me too."

There's no way to disable that feature with, uh, that particular model. I've tried, so I know.

Iamon lyme: My wife auto corrects me too.

Iamon lyme: I need to lose weight cuz I won't fit through the phone.

Artful Dodger: I had a cell phone a few years ago that auto corrected my text messages. I had to disable the auto correct feature because it would never let me type in the correct word. Ironic it, ain't it?

Artful Dodger: "Actually, there is a science behind that idea and as I understand it, it's theoretically possible. But I'll be dead before it's perfected."

Shoot, we'll all be dead before ipads are fixed so that they won't change words in your messages.

Artful Dodger: "Frankly I prefer telephoning"

Teleportation through the telephone lines?

(V): But you need weight for safety as well. Frankly I prefer telephoning but I can't get it to work for me. It worked for Spock. Actually, there is a science behind that idea and as I understand it, it's theoretically possible. But I'll be dead before it's perfected.

Artful Dodger: Now... cannot a car be well built and light. A gutted demolition derby car is light, yet the safety feature of the roll cage makes it safer than a SUV.

It's all a matter of how much safety is featured in the design.

When global warming (man made) is proven a total farce, the greeners will say that their efforts turned things around.

Iamon lyme: I can imagine the day when I have to pay a carbon tax every time I fart.

Artful Dodger: mmmm yes, or lightly sauteed with mushrooms in butter and garlic. But worms make me gassy, which is also troubling for scientists as there are already concerns that earthworms increase greenhouse gas emissions... eating them only exacerbates the problem.

Iamon lyme: well worms are quite tasty fried.

Artful Dodger: "They use this method in many abortions"

I know. I tried watching a video about how it's done and couldn't watch the whole thing. It makes me sick to my stomach. I'd rather eat worms than to see how it's done.

Artful Dodger: "There are concerns that earthworms increase greenhouse gas emissions, which troubles scientists since earthworm numbers are on the rise."

Uh oh. I need to go down and check to see if my underground bunker is well fortified. Should have make the walls thicker, don't know if two feet of concrete is enough to keep them out.

Iamon lyme: They use this method in many abortions and Obama approves it. He doesn't want kids shot (unless they are black and from Chicago) but is ok with babies in the womb having their arms and legs sucked off (especially if they are black and from Chicago).

(V): It seems to me that a well built car vrs a well built car colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight car vrs a light weight car at the same speed. I'd put my money on surviving in the heavier car and the two lightweight autos all would likely be killed. Just a guess. I'll have to google it. Or bing it.

(V): Sucked?? hahaha That cracks me up. I was using my ipad and it auto corrected my spelling. I never noticed it. I'll have to try to write suicide again tonight on the ipad and see how that happened.

Iamon lyme: Do you mean seppuku? If so... yes.

It was a honour thing combined with a second swordsman taking the head off.

Less worse than the old practice of hung drawn and quartered that was practised throughout Europe. Or some of the other ... ... tmi for this board. ;P

(V): You've never heard of death by suction? It's a barbaric practice that had been abandoned (or so I thought) centuries ago... it's a horrible way to go.

Some people confuse it with sakicide, which isn't so bad if you like that sort of thing. Not me. I'm a procrastinator. I'm not planning on leaving until after the boat has sailed.

Artful Dodger: HGV's by law now in the UK/Europe, have to have bars fitted so cars cannot in an accident go under resulting in the car being crushed.

Artful Dodger: Considering the many ways of ending ones life... (sucked) ?? .. Guns are irrelevant. It would be considered impolite by Japanese (from what I hear) to be messy.

(V): hmmmm. Good point.

(V): true it's easier with a gun. But Japan has higher sucked rate without guns so guns aren't the problem.

Artful Dodger: No... F1 cars are light by nature, yet far safer than a normal car. The killer is the SUV style cars. So much extra weight that they are harder to control and if involved in an accident more likely to kill more of those outside the SUV that are involved. Especially as a heavy vehicle is not so easy to control in accidents.

The people in the SUV type vehicle may have a ton of steel to protect them... That's nice for them but not for the other people involved.
