Oh god, more stats. I don't know what's worse, all the stats being thrown about or the ignorance.

I guess in your experience your ignorance trumps someone elses ignorance, right?

Everything about me trumps everything about everyone else. Didn't you know that? Start listening.

Yep, if you'd quit staring at my tits and jacking off, you might hear something from time to time.

Actually, if we kept staring at your tits and stopped the jacking off, we could better help you feel good from time to time.

So, speaking of tits: sensitive nipples, or not very? The wife can about put me on the ceiling going for mine. ... more yummy yummy than fruit salad, I'm tellin' ya.

[Since having heard The Wiggles sing "Fruit Salad" in four-part male close harmony, I've been imagining an entire battalion of big tough Australian infantrymen singing this on being presented with fruit salad in the mess tent and reducing the crusty old mess sergeant to agonies of embarrassment.]

I think this thread is too closely resembling the other thread specifically debating guns. This should be about Cho and the incident, I think. Yes, I did my share of making it go off topic, but we should post VT developments here.

Puh, I doubt it. 90% of your purported skillz were actually considered ineffective in providing good by 5 out of 19 women surveyed in Upper Bulgaria in 2004.

What's that I hear? Did someone in here ask for more statistics?

Quote:
In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun. Since then, despite dire predictions of "Wild West" showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender.

...

By comparison, the population of Morton Grove, the first city in Illinois to adopt a gun ban for anyone other than police officers, has actually dropped slightly and stands at 22,202, according to 2005 statistics. More significantly, perhaps, the city's crime rate increased by 15.7 percent immediately after the gun ban, even though the overall crime rate in Cook County rose only 3 percent. Today, by comparison, the township's crime rate stands at 2,268 per 100,000.

Stats are a fine bullet with which to kill ignorance -- begging any question of ulterior motives.

Anyone who's seen genocide wants it to stop happening. There's one known way, and it's never been refuted.
