just sayin'...

[Toad]

I probably have as many guns as I have sharp objects.

In fact, I've owned sharp objects for many years and never once have they made me go out and stab/slice/cut/puncture another human being with one. Who'd have thought, eh?

I have used guns to harvest many, many Thanksgiving dinners of various species; I always thought emulating the actual Pilgrim feast was a nice idea.

And, for the record, let all notice who first brought up "guns" in this thread. It's not me.

[Wlfgng]

lazs ya bastige !    

[poopster]

I actually had two dinners. The first around 3pm where a previously slaughtered and dressed turkey was served.

The second was around 8pm where a butchered steer was served...

Both were very good and I didn't have to get my hands dirty with killing them..

But I personally killed 12 beers..

The poor bastages..

Poop!  I can tell you're not single. If that were a bachelor's receipe, as a footnote you would have included washing up time.

[senna]

Mine was great. Ate up a storm of turkey then got a bit sick but was great.

[SaburoS]

Had an awesome T-Day! Hope yours was good too.

England and Wales have one of the worst crime records in the industrialised world - even worse than America - according to the findings of an official survey published yesterday which compares the experience of victims across 17 countries.
The study, coordinated by the Dutch ministry of justice, shows England and Wales at the top of the world league with Australia as the countries where you are most likely to become a victim of crime. These countries face an annual rate of 58 crimes for every 100 inhabitants.

The findings, based on interviews with 35,000 people about their experience of crime across the 17 countries, were carried out last year. They are a blow to Labour's record and underline the challenge facing Tony Blair when he marks the launch of Labour's 10-year anti-crime plan next Monday by becoming the first serving prime minister to visit a prison.

The 2000 International Crime Victimisation survey shows that the falls in crime recorded since the mid-1990s in England and Wales are part of a general pattern of falling crime across the industrialised world but, unlike America, crime levels in England and Wales are still higher than they were at the end of the 1980s. When the survey was last carried out in 1996, England and Wales also topped the league table with 61 offences per 100 inhabitants.

The survey does show, however, that Britain has the best services when it comes to looking after the victims of crime, but it also shows we have a tougher approach to punishing criminals. Asked what should be done with a burglar convicted of stealing a colour television for a second time, more than 50% in England and Wales said he or she should be sent to prison for two years. Only 7% in Spain and 12% in France thought he or she should be jailed at all.

People were asked whether they had been victims of a range of 11 different offences in the previous 12 months, including violent and sexual assault, car crime, burglary and consumer fraud.

The survey also shows that Scotland, with 43 offences per 100 inhabitants, ranks joint fifth alongside America in the international crime league behind England, Australia, the Netherlands and Sweden. Northern Ireland has the second best crime record of the countries surveyed, with 24 offences per 100 inhabitants - the same rate as Switzerland and only just above Japan where the biggest crime problem is bicycle thefts. The detailed findings of the ICVS survey showthat England and Wales are top of the international league for car thefts with 2.6% of all car owners suffering the loss of their vehicle in the previous 12 months. In other sorts of car crime, England was second only to Poland.

Australia and then England and Wales had the highest burglary rates and rates for violent crimes such as robbery, assault and sexual assault "

the result of the backward thinking of the home office is the brutalizing of its helpless citizens... helpless to defend themselves against the strong and the vicious... a trajic example of "form over substance"... "let them eat cake" The lawless run england... In America... 3,000,000 such crimes are prevented by firearms each year... citizens have freedom and dignity one good thing about englands crime rate.... they have, obviously by necessity, learned to care for the traumatized, humiliated and injured victims...guess that's something

[lazs2]

beetle... try to cut a turkey with your swimsuit or your hiking boots.... after all.... swimming has soooooo many uses as does hiking... if we banned hiking and swimming we would save 20-100000 lives a year and still be able to cut our turkeys....

Maybe we could just regester swimmers and have our nanny decide who needs to swim and who does not?

if we banned hiking and swimming we would save 20-100000 lives a year and still be able to cut our turkeys....

100,000? total drowning deaths in the US are approx 4,000 per year. I don't know the total deaths from hiking and climbing, but even in Colorado the drowning figures are far greater than the hiking/climbing figures.

Maybe we could just regester swimmers and have our nanny decide who needs to swim and who does not?

Perhaps if swimmers intentionally drowned 10,000 other people per year there might be some pressure for this, but as they invariably only drown themselves, what's the point?

[Toad]

No my friends, it is time now to address the REAL killer in the USA.

USA's Drunk Driving Report Card Drops To "C" Grade  

Last year, 17,448 were killed in alcohol-related crashes - representing 41 percent of all traffic deaths.  More than 500,000 Americans are injured annually in crashes involving alcohol.  The annual economic cost of alcohol-related crashes exceeds $114 billion.

I'm afraid it's time for all of you to turn in ALL of your alcoholic beverages.

Until we can arrange for permanent destruction facilities, please have all of your bottles of hard spirits and wine sent to my house for storage. You may pour your beer out on the ground on the "honor system".

Thank you. I know you'll all support this for the greater good, since we don't really NEED alcoholic beverages to live a good life.

Of course, those of you that feel alcohol is an important part of you life can just sign over the titles and give me the keys to your vehicles.

[Saintaw]

If it makes you feel better Toad, I saw your president was letting one of the turkeys free.

[lazs2]

but if you made drinking and driving illegal how would you cut your steak or.. in this case... turkey?
