Re: Had my first medical bill last week!

What do they want to do to your face/mouth that costs so much each year that you consider $1800 a joke?

Re: WTF in America

I disagree, one is an actual display of threatening to use violence. The other is merely someone claiming they were threatened because someone has an object on their body/ is in possession of an...

Based off of what I was quoting what was your point in stating that it was a distinction without difference/meaning then? I believe that I proved there was a meaningful difference.

Re: WTF in America

Can't say that I agree with that. Brandishing is generally done to very overtly threaten other people. In this case the firearms are not being brandished. The firearms are pointing at the ground,...

Re: Sensible Gun Laws Work

I know you were talking about gun deaths in general, my point is that the majority of gun laws being proposed and or passed recently would have very little to non-existent impact on gun suicides. ...

Re: Here we go again . . . San Bernardino

Again your source, just provide a link to your source. Simply doing a google search of Violence-Related Firearm Gunshot Nonfatal Injuries doesn't bring up a link that contains that list of injuries....

Re: Here we go again . . . San Bernardino

I did look, I went to the CDC and I looked at all of the non-fatal firearm injuries across all ages, sex, race, etc from 2001 to 2013.

It shows that from 2001 to 2013 the grand total number of...

Re: Here we go again . . . San Bernardino

OK - Do you actually have a link to your source that says there has been 40%+ more people physically shot/wounded by gunfire between 2001 and 2013? Again everything I'm finding says between 25,000...

Re: Here we go again . . . San Bernardino

Curious, what is the source for your 40%+ figure? I keep seeing sources that say 25,000 people were wounded or that it was over 130,000+ were wounded by gunfire each year.

Re: Sensible Gun Laws Work

True but then again just because it would work doesn't mean you are obligated to pass it or make it law. For example if the UK was to raise the minimum drinking age to 21 it would work to reduce...

Re: Here we go again . . . San Bernardino

As a grand total or per capita rate? Because the per capita rate for non-fatal gun assaults shows that it is lower today(2014) than in 2001 and fatal death rate has pretty much stayed the same at...

Re: 'Merica - now they're gunning down reporters

So what you are saying is that if you do 5 minus 1 you get 4 per 100,000 difference........In other words the UK 99.999% of the population is not killed by homicide; 99.995% of the USA population is...

Re: 'Merica - now they're gunning down reporters

Exactly, it really isn't surprising considering this is the same nation that considers 88,000 deaths to be an acceptable price for recreational consumption of alcohol. Further more is it really...

The reason why cars are registered is to create an annual tax to help pay for road maintenance. It's why car size/weight is taken into account in terms of deciding how much you pay to register the...

Re: Ottawa shootings

Well to be fair long guns are very rarely used in Canada by criminals, long gun homicides for example make up 0.1 per 100,000 people. You have to look at the long gun registry from a cost effective...

Can't think of one but I wouldn't be surprised if there was in fact a report of someone intoxicated attacking a school and killing several people somewhere in the world.

Re: Moving to America despite hating it

Is that a reason or a rationalization?

Consider the following:

88,000 deaths are caused/primarily attributed to Alcohol consumption in the USA or around ~28 per 100,000 people. There are over...
