It's not nice being on the end of racism is it Ron? Out of interest, did you evacuate to GA to get away from the "negroes"? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I knew, upon reading the news this morning, that this thread would exist. My contempt and disgust for the gun loving crowd just grows and grows. 80+ dead and all you can do is jack off to your guns and use it as an argument in your favour. Trucks are designed to move goods around and have been honed and perfected to that end over the years. Guns are designed to kill and have been honed and perfected to that end over the years. The cunt who perpetrated this attack was aiming for maximum destruction and mayhem and combined the two. How many days (hours...) do we have to wait until the death toll from guns, since this tragedy, in the US is higher than 80? Probably already happened. It's not all about you and your gun rights. When 9/11 happened the world opened its arms to the US. When attacks happen overseas and I see a reaction like the OP it makes me regret my compassion to such backward, selfish and ugly people.

Ok. I will take it into account and multiply the 25 killings in the UK by 5. That makes it 125 vs 2,282. Much better. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

It is indeed a very dark time in the US. I am trying to understand it, from an outsiders perspective and I can't get past the guns. We, the UK, are probably America's closest ally and in many ways we are very similar but in others we are very different and one of those is guns. Not only are the majority of the UK police not armed but there is an expectation that the populace is not either. Obviously sometimes this is wrong and for those occasions we have firearms squads who can be called. This works for us but obviously wouldn't in America. The assumption, it seems, is that in America civilians are assumed to be armed by the police until proven otherwise and so of course this makes the police more likely to shoot in either real or perceived self defense. It is very hard to find the numbers for people killed by the police in the US as records don't seem to exist. I found the number for the UK. It was 54. Since 1920. They are all named on Wikipedia. For the US it's harder, as I mentioned, to find a number. Wiki suggests that since 2000 it is 3,462 but the numbers seem strange as for 2000-2008 there was an average of 14 a year and then it ramped up enormously to over 300 per annum (avg). If wiki is to be believed then in the whole of the 20th century there were 91 killings by police. If these numbers are correct then there is a really startling issue that needs to be addressed and I have no idea how to even start. BTW - these numbers are low when compared to other stats I found. The Guardian has the count for 2015 at 1146, rather than the 391 on Wiki. Flipping the coin the number of police killed in the line of duty (including accidents) in the UK since 2000 is 25 according to Wikipedia. Compare this to 2,282 in the US ( source). This shows there obviously is a substantially greater threat to the lives of police in America than in the UK and this is largely down to guns. The police are afraid that suspects have them and so are more likely to shoot/kill the suspect. Suspects are more likely to be armed and shoot police so this fear is justified but obviously doesn't account for times like last week when someone is killed who is unarmed (one stat I found had about 25% of those killed being unarmed). We look on in horror at the endless mass shootings in the US and its seeming inability to do anything about it, but that is just the tip of the blood soaked iceberg. An armed society is a polite society, my arse! CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

The fact that something that you can't fix is worse than something you can fix therefore meaning you shouldn't try and fix the thing you can is fatuous at best. 'More people die in car crashes so we shoudn't ban guns!!!' - what utter tosh! If you have an opportunity to stop any form of violent death then you should take it. This is why millions have been spent on making cars safer, and therefore saving lives. Yet apparently it is impossible to do anything about stopping the plague of gun violence in America because people die of strokes so why bother. What utter, utter bollocks.

You make it sound like American politics in the UK. If someone doesn't agree with you then they are 'nutcases' and 'less intelligent'. The fear mongering on both sides is ridiculous and very irritating but don't undermine someones opinion just because it doesn't tally with yours. CJP Gods don't kill people.

Well this is interesting. So how does it work then? Righteous and just believers such as yourself get whisked away to heaven and the rest of us it's business as usual? Do we get a chance to repent at the end? What about children who are born after the Rapture - will they have to stick around? Is it like an exam - if you are 80% religious you go but if you are 79% then you are left behind? I'm truly interested to understand your view. CJP Gods don't kill people.

I jumped a balloon at Dunkerswell a few years back and landed on DZ. Most balloon companies in the UK will run a mile but this one was run by a former RAF Typhoon pilot and jumper so he was less risk averse. We got c. 5,000 feet. Be aware that you will likely be landing in an unknown location, unless they can out you over a DZ. You will need to have an idea of wind direction on the ground (balloon direction should help with this but not guaranteed to be the same on the ground) and will need to know how to spot potential obstacles for landing - for example in Spain the last thing you want is to spot a landing area from 5k and then find out it's a field of olive trees. You'll also need to plan a pick up solution - someone to follow the balloon on the ground and pick you up when you land. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Agreed. Tramontana is a pain - that's why I said lots to do if the weather isn't great - like a massive wind tunnel! CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I did AFF in Spain (a long time ago) and it is a great way to combine a holiday and get your license. It's worth checking which system they operate under in Madrid - is it BPA (British) or not as this may affect your return to Ireland. Check out https://www.facebook.com/AbsoluteSkydiving/?pnref=about.overview in Empuria Brava. It's a great DZ, lots to do if the weather isn't perfect and Nigel is a great instructor...
