How the world views the USA right now

And if we actually knew people in other countries we'd probably have a more favorable perspective on them. Wendy W. Yep and I personally do. -
A New Band of Brothers - In Ramadi with the 101st Airborne

Great reading, I wish the Audio were clearer but that is ok. -
Here are some real facts for the readers. And the real facts will show just how full of crap your assertion is, and how grossly and unethically you are acting to try and implant a false impression in the minds of those readers. First, see the attached image showing homicide rate changes in major cities. Source: Globe and Mail Notice how the change in Chicago's homicide rate is "-.2%" between 2004 and 2005. With 447 murders last year, that .2% represents ONE murder. That's right, just one single murder. Do the math! And here is the mighty professor kallend trying to convince everyone that Chicago has had some kind of dramatic change for the better in their homicide rate. A change of .2% (.002) is so statistically insignificant as to be laughable. And I can't believe that you would try and foist this kind of deceipt and misimpression upon people here. Shame on you. Yeah, I know, you'll come back and claim; "Well, I didn't lie, did I? One less murder, is in fact 'down'". Well, you were mathematically correct. But it means absolutely nothing as far as trends go. You withheld the full truth and the full story, and you twisted one single data point of change into a misimpression that is a lie. That's your crime. Readers: such are the tactics of the gun-o-phobes. Beware: don't be fooled by them! Let this be a lesson to you about the kinds of games that kallend plays here. Just remember that Chicago started passing gun control laws in 1968, talk about a creeper effect!!!

The Fact is that Chicago has one of the highest murder rates in the Country, and the Fact is that they have some of the most strict Gun laws in the country. It was only a couple years ago (2003?) that they had more murders than LA and New York which had a much larger population. Is Chicago really that proud of their Murder rate now? Yes according to the Mayor, King Daley.

How the world views the USA right now
warpedskydiver replied to akarunway's topic in Speakers Corner
WTF makes us Big Daddy, and everyone else the "mouthy teenager?". We share the world, we don't own it. Wendy W. The only reason I overall still have a postive attitude towards the US is that I believe that the many radical posters on speakers corner do not represent the majority of Americans. But maybe I am wrong... If you actually knew most of us you may have a more favorable perspective. -

Serious Question About Pregnancy and an IUD
warpedskydiver replied to ACMESkydiver's topic in The Bonfire
I recommend removing he IUD unless you want the child to be born with Antennae -
Hmmm... I think that the Hills, Streams, Soil, and even the bonnie bonnie Purple Weed Heather was already there long before some English Civil(!!?) Engineer charted the course of the Scottish Nurbergring A9. I prefer the lighter malts, having made the often torturous journey from the blended stuff (aged for 10 years in a stainless steel tank wiff a used tea bag) via Bushmills Malt (which is about as far west as you can legitimately go!). Now we have to brace for the Scotland Vs Ireland whisky/whiskey battle! I nominate Me & NacMac as referees and testers on the basis of experience. It's probably easier for Y'All to send money which we'll use to buy test samples of the appropriate whiskey rather than us receiving a load of your highly suspicious bottles! Mike. Both IOrish and Scot whiskeys are great but I preferred the One I got from a friends which wasn't some well known name but rather a small distillery. I wish I could remember the name it was great! I like Knob Creek Bourbon here in the US. try it you wont be sorry

Next time all the New Orleans criminals head this way, we'll close Interstate-10 at the border, and redirect them north to Chicago. No good deed goes unpunished. This is what we get for being so generous during a time of national disaster. And all kallend can think to do with that news is bash Texas... LA is a "shall issue" state so why would it have high crime to export, John? Your logic is appalling. I guess the problem is all their guns were confiscated in NOLA before the folks came to Texas. That's bound to increase violent crime. You have been trumpeting how gun ownership is increasing and that more guns = less crime for months. Yet violent crime is up in the US as a whole (NYC, Chicago, Detroit Los Angeles excepted, of course), not just in places that imported N'Orleaneans. So it appears that more guns = more violent crime right now. Pretty pathetic really, attempting to blame it on hurricane victims. Hey John, I wonder why King Daley credits the lowering of the murder rate in Chicago to the Antigun laws that the city has. The problem is that it took over 30years to have any effect and that was only for 5 years and now it is increasing again.

It may be overkill on a TRex as well...but who cares? that damned thing is great fun to shoot I like the M98 in .338 Lapua and also I like the Robar, the Barret is good, but just impractical. It is already bad enough that I have a 14.5lb rifle I wouldn't mind the weight if it had a belt feed

Dude....believe it or not we went to a burger joint called Red Robin. Trust me, we couldn't believe we were actually eating hamburgers, especially me, after seeing that. What can I say, we were in the mood for a good o'l burger You are a true Professional

I prefer Collards, then mustard, turnip greens can be ok too

A little garlic is good too

Nice way to ignore the point of the argument. Gun registration laws can only document which Law Abiding Citizens have them. What good is that? Well then they know who to confiscate them from!!! The crazy thing is that people believe that is ok!!!

Well if they point guns at the attackers, they're sure as hell going to draw fire. How does that make their families safe? If they aren't part of the fight, and don't want to be, they ought to stay out of it. And that means not pointing guns at people. If the police SWAT team ever attacks my house, I know my best chance to live is to not point guns at them. Doh! If they ever attack anyone without a warrant being served they may want to bring personalized body bags. They are not infallible by any means.
