i need an aad for the summer, i dont do a huge amount of jumps and that wont change till im finished college is there any reason not to buy a reasonably priced cypress 1 with about 2 and a half years left?

im all caught up now

so a troll then?

so skyrad any opinion on the second video which clearly shows you to be mistaken in your original post?

the flood gates have never been shut thats the point

my reading of that is that he already has one and is trying to sell it

so you really think america organised the murder of its own citizens? you really think that?

try a storm maybe aswell iv only jumped the crw version but it was nice

freakenomics http://www.amazon.com/Freakonomics-Economist-Explores-Hidden-Everything/dp/0060731338/ basically in one section it pushes the legalisation of abortion in america as a direct contributory factor to the sudden decline in crime in the early 90's when all the criminologists were predicting a rise that is obviously a pretty controversial thing to say but he explains it quite well the rest of the book is very interesting aswell and i just noticed that there is a second one out that i might jsut have to buy too

spoil sport

i said the laws were enforced alot more and i said the penalties were severe i never mentioned the actual limit did you actually read my last post? the 3 above points were addressed with references here ill give you my references again you will have to read my post properly to determine why they are relevant http://www.cso.ie/statistics/popofeachprovcountycity2006.htm http://www.penaltypoints.ie/road_crash_statistics_index.php i just gave you the stats again did you read my post? i just gave you the stats again did you read my post? Never said that either..... ***In my opinion, you prefer anecdotal evidence to statistics, and I feel that unsupported opinions are not worth giving any merit. well you spent quite some time responding to something thats not worth any merit. i have provided the statistics i use to form my opinion you googled drink driving in ireland and quoted sound bites from politicians which is the more informed opinion? ninja edit; if your attacking the poster not the post comment was aimed at me please quote were i attacked you if it wasnt aimed at me fine

1st site = wrong country and wrong goverment sorry 2nd site = fair enough the limit is the same(for now we are reducing it to .5 and the penelaties vary for first offences, i never contended otherwise. so lets say im wrong and ireland has roughly the same penalties, what explains the lower number of incidences of drink driving? less enforcement? possibly but that does not explain the reduction in road deaths of 13% in the last 10 years while the number of vehicles has risen 41% and number of licence holders has risen 21% in the same period (http://www.penaltypoints.ie/road_crash_statistics_index.php) this time period of reduction is pretty much exactly the same time period during which my generation has been growing up buying cars getting licences and taking to the road having been subject to the most graphic anti drink driving ad campaign i have seen anywere quotes from politicians do not = data that was what i was saying that last part was said tongue in cheek clearly it didnt get threw the computer screen its not my pet theory or my favourite or anything else its my opinion on a subject, that does not affect me all that much and i dont care all that much about,that is based on personal experience in both countries and national independant statistics public transport in rural ireland is non existant and is severly lacking in every city accept dublin wereas around 50% of our population if not more live in rural areas (http://www.cso.ie/statistics/popofeachprovcountycity2006.htm) this was the very cause of our high rate of drink driving everyone going to local pubs with massive car parks full of cars and people driving home to their farms(basically) you clearly believe that regulation is the solution fine i disagree i dont really care either way above are some statistics which i have interpreted in such a way to form my opinion along with my personal experience(god forbid) im sure you can look at them and interpret them in anyway you want. IN MY OPINION your country in general needs an attitude change before you will solve the problems of A) drink driving and B) gun crime sorry for dragging this so off topic i didnt expect my little analogy to cause such a debate

haha well not the peace prize anyway, literature, physics etc migh tbe slightly harder

Concur. I'll even push it a lil' further -- identifying that there is a problem is easy compared to figuring out the causes. (Figuring out solutions is harder and implementing and executing the solutions is hardest.) We have had a few discussions at times trying to pull apart some of the causes both of murder and crimes rates. Imo, a big step is disentangling correlation with causation. There may also be physical/physiological causes, e.g., one known physiological link (correlation … possible causation) has been found for increase in violent crime: lead poisoning in US cities in the late 1970s & 1980s and with the accompanying decrease in crime in the 1990s as exposure to lead has decreased (via elimination of lead in gasoline & paint). Lead … not gun availability or gun control. Is that likely to be the only factor? No. Very, very rarely (if ever) are there single independent variable explanations for observed social phenomena, of which incidence of crime is an example. Previous discussion on role of lead and an illustrative response here. In my mind, at least, the lack of correlation between legal access to guns (i.e., liberal gun laws) and crime, including murder, has been demonstrated convincingly. Does anyone have new data to suggest otherwise? W/r/t social or cultural factors, imo, it’s important to keep in mind: if there are social and cultural factors (variables) at play, particularly w/r/t homicide, we’re generally debating 0.5%, 2%, at most 5% changes in violence levels domestically (per capita). If one goes back to historical data: overall violence has declined most dramatically as the impact of religion on western society has decreased and secular & civil-based law has increased. An anecdotal observation that I've heard repeatedly from APD officers -- so it's just that: anecodotal, i.e., the kind of thing that might spur further investigation but not on which I would base thinking or policy recommendations-- is that crime decreases in Atlanta when it rains. (How often does it rain in the UK or Ireland?) /Marg she was able to say it way nicer than i could hence her name 'nerdgirl' i assume :p as for your early 90's decrease in crime? surely the only cause for that was clintons tough war on crime no? :p seen as you seem quite read up on the subject personally i subscribe to the freakenomics theory of why the crime rate declined in the early 90's ;) and it rains way way too frequently here :p

148 aparently which is an increase of 13 on the last time i took one of those stupid online iq tests and i only got 2 hours sleep last night nobel prizes here i cum

you havnt given any data accept for a stat from a british tv station about northern ireland which is a different country with a different goverment and therefore different drink driving policies. there has certainly been stricter rules and enforcement in the last 5-10 years as i said and yes in the older generations this has reduced drink driving rate. however the far far more influential cause in the drop in dd rates has been the media campaign(funded by the goverment) which has virtually irradicated people of my genreation drink driving(im talking about cities here ie population centers with good infrastructure there are still a portion in rural areas who insist on dd for their own reasons either way this is not a dd debate i was using it as an example if you disagree with me fine clearly many people in america do disagree with me or you would have fixed the problem years ago :p

I think you will find that the increase in punishment cannot be overlooked as a factor in the change in rate. oh ye i meant to reply to this your penalties are harsher than ours and your enforcement is way higher(i could drive across the country on a motorway and not see one police officer) and yet your drunk driving rate is way higher or at least in my experience it is also i know people personally who would never dream of drink driving over here but they did for the first time when they were in the states because 'everyone did over there' retarded logic but it happened nevertheless and im done goodnight guys

the interweb and in particular forums/fora?? and inparticular speakers corner like forums are not an accurate representation of society it can be ireland / the uk / france / germany /australia list any western society that does not have the culture of violence and gun crime that america has right now i use ireland because its what i know best but it is not some exception to the rule when it comes to guns and mass murder america is the acception to the rule but either way i tried you guys seem hellbent on arguing about symptoms instead of causes so ill leave you to it

well its an issue caused by american society as a hole so you can only talk about whatever portion of society you like or feel comfortable with or exclude any portion of society that is convenient for your argument but it wont do any good Somehow I fear the joke was lost in translation from English to english. lol ye it could have been sorry im tired and it did take me a second to say to myself 'wtf is he talking about paris for'

well its an issue caused by american society as a hole so you can only talk about whatever portion of society you like or feel comfortable with or exclude any portion of society that is convenient for your argument but it wont do any good

who besides the person who said it is saying its acceptable?

if your looking at society as a hole, which i am, thats irrelevant the point is society as a hole in america is far far far more desensitised to these stories than society in ireland is. this is NOT a good thing. why are they so desensitised? because these atrocities happen so frequently. why do they happen so frequently? because your society breeds a large proportion of psycopaths for some reason and this COUPLED with easy access to weapons leads to these tragedies. is there any part of that i need to translate into american english for you? if you find the cause of the increased proportion of psycopaths and fix it then weather guns are available or not becomes irrelevant an analogy 10-15 years ago drink driving was completely socially acceptable in ireland and caused numerous road deaths every year/month/week people just drank and then drove they jsut did it was normal and relatively acceptable cue the goverment realising that societies attitude needed to change and 10-15 years of anti drink driving campaigns of various sorts and its now completely socially unacceptable to drink drive. have the legal ramifications changed? yes they have but not alot and they are nowhere near as strict as in the states yet we have far less drink driving now than you guys. my point? like drink driving your gun crime(not talking about gang to gang i really couldnt give a shite about that its everything else) is not a regulation problem or a enforcement problem its an attitude problem and if and when you realise that(both sides) you can then start the lengthy road to changing societies attitude so that the amount 'regular' people who turn to guns to solve their problems drastically decreases

i voted less than a month i belive 90% of the population would not survive very long in the world you described however you clearly have no idea what anarchism actually means anarchism relies on peoples participation in the ideology and in theory assuming people believe and participate there will be no trouble anarchism is not something i agree with at all but you should educate yourself on it before you throw about the term with abandom

sorry im only getting to this now you completely misunderstood what i said apparently the guy in the video sites numerous cases of mass murder and uses them as reasons to back up his argument that gun free zones are stupid etc in my society(ireland) there was a 20 yr old stabbed to death around the begining of august around teh same time (i happened to be in the states) a man walked into a church and shot a load of people and i think there was also a mass murder in florida at around the same time. 3 weeks later the stabbing was still in the news as a big deal in ireland 3days to a week later the two incidents in america were all but forgotten that is a reflection on the two societies american society creates far more of these psycopaths than average for whatever reason that was my point i never said bad things dont happen or there is a way to prevent all of them i said you need to fix the part of your society that creates so much more of these people than the rest of the civilised world as far as gun law goes as i said already id love to be able to buy guns in ireland. if i ever move to america full time im sure i will own at least one gun and will probably shoot regularly. if i had to choose between your societies attitudes to guns and violence and irelands i would choose ireland in a hearbeat. not to mention that our unarmed police force is a luxury i hope we do our best to keep
