  1. You've seen RushMC's writing and logic; are you expecting his math skills to be any different? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  2. He’d prefer not; the most juvenile and childish form of debate is to simply to start talking about “something else”. That’s why this thread is now filled with suicide and truck references. I’d invite them (as before) to subtract out all shootings that are suicide. The resultant numbers still leave the US with occurrences more comparable to a war zone than a G20 nation. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  3. From your above posts, I'll surmise that you didn't take a statistics class at school. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  4. Can you point out the example of 50 or more deaths and 500+ injuries via automobile in a single occurrence. I'm not aware of one (US or globally). "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  5. Check out the big brain on PhreeZone. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/breakingnews/las-vegas-gunman-used-bump-stock-device-to-speed-fire/ar-AAsQ32O He was a day ahead of the national press. Billvon please get one the "gold star" stickers out of your desk drawer and affix next to PhreeZone's avatar. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  6. Is Trump mentally retarded? https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-helps-suffering-puerto-ricans-by-throwing-paper-towels-at-them_us_59d3db64e4b0218923e5b4f7 At first glance, I thought this was a SNL skit. No, it's actually the POTUS on a humanitarian mission. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  7. Here are some numbers: The United States has more guns than any other country (300 million+) and more guns per person (9 guns for every 10 people). It also has the highest firearm homicide rate in the developed world (and the highest rate of unintentional firearm deaths.) Regarding "Freedom" 196 number of countries of which; 125 are electoral democracies 86 are free 3 have a constitutional right to bear arms While I'm at it: 38 have red, white & blue flags "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  8. I see on my Bloomberg feed that Trump just landed in Puerto Rico - everything is going to OK now. Melania is even wearing boots instead of her foul-weather heels. They'll be "winning" in no time. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  9. For comparison, I just searched the number of gun-related deaths in the UK for Sunday 1st October. As we're 1/5 of your population, would have needed 1/5 the shootings to tie. However I couldn't find any for our tally. Looks like US wins; great "shootin" guys; USA, USA, USA In my quick search, I did find this one on how guns kill more kids than flu in the US. http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/kids/the-gun-massacre-america-isnt-talking-about/news-story/2ce3d693d182cb31ca7dbab186b2564c "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

    RIP Tom Petty

    From his Wiki page: ...His interest in rock and roll music began at age ten when he met Elvis Presley. In the summer of 1961, his uncle was working on the set of Presley's film Follow That Dream in nearby Ocala, and invited Petty to come down and watch the shoot.He instantly became an Elvis Presley fan, and when he returned that Saturday, he was greeted by his friend Keith Harben, and soon traded his Wham-O slingshot for a collection of Elvis 45s "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  11. Try this simple test. Take any random article on a mass shooting and replace every instance of the word "gun" with either "grenade" or "bomb". Read it again. It makes for a pretty absurd article when re-read - well at least to persons from other advanced societies. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  12. The motive and reason is solved; move along now nothing to see here. Pat Robertson Blames Las Vegas Massacre On ‘Disrespect’ For Donald Trump and protests during the national anthem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/pat-robertson-las-vegas-massacre_us_59d2e869e4b048a44324a6bb I think this proves there is no God; Tom Petty is dead and Pat Robertson is still alive "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  13. When I first saw the story this morning, my first thought was "I've stayed at Mandalay Bay; there aren't any balconies; he would have had to shoot out the glass which could have really injured someone below". Then I stopped. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  14. Oddly one reporter on television said "how did he get so many guns?" WTF? He's a 64 yr old white man in the southwestern US; he was probably given complementary membership to the "Gun of the Month Club". This just reminded me of a photo of a Food Lion Supermarket magazine rack in the US that I took on my last trip to the US (attached). "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  15. Just saw Trump's address. The term "perfunctory" best describes what I just heard. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  16. but we're talking about 'Murican Patriots with their county CCP training? - you're just trying to bring logic into the argument "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  17. They just gave the "setup" for today's entertainment on the news. ..."The president will address the nation shortly. In times like this, it is up to the president to provide leadership and comfort" I'd translate the above statement as "you're pretty much fucked". "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  18. This could have turned out better if everyone at the concert was carrying. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  19. You got a "Presidential Tweet"; everything will be OK now. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  20. This one is now at 50+ dead. I wonder how the national conversation will go on this one? In this instance, the photos are not of LBGT people in dance party glitter nor of young black men in urban street wear at a rap concert; we see photos of young girls in jean shorts and cowboy hats - a photo that could be the daughter of any of the MAGA hat wearing crowd.

  21. I’ve visited the Catalan region for the past 20 years for pleasure travel and Madrid for near the same time frame for business purposes. To add some personal colour, I’ve always regarded the Catalan region as the “Mississippi” of Spain. While I find the Catalan food great, I just view the whole area as backwards (which is saying something if you’re comparing it to Madrid - please excuse my derogatory nomenclature if you are from Mississippi, but that is how I describe it). Seeing a country from both its board rooms and its tourist areas gives a wider and often different picture. Spain is an “odd” one. In some instances, you can encounter the very professional, but it is often spoiled by an overarching umbrella of disorganisation. If unfamiliar with Spain, outsiders may view them, in light of the Catalan events, as “fiery and independent” which will be received positively by Americans. However, in practice you find more of the “ass kissing” persona in corporate Spain. I’ve encountered few places where persons were so far more concerned about “pleasing” their boss as opposed to getting real results – this in in reference to persons making no less than 6-digit (even 7-digit) incomes, not the portion of the populace that lives paycheck-to-paycheck. Behind the curtain, the country is really run by a group of large families. Understand these families and you better understand Spain.

  22. Never seem him before. Pretty good videos; just clicked and watched a few. On one I liked: "screaming about your rights as an American while waving a confederate flag is like arguing against gay marriage while you have dick in mouth." "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  23. Akin to similar activities (like US currency imprinted with "In God We Trust") it was inserted during the 1950s - the golden age and second renaissance of right-wing white men rule. Now a couple of decades later, the dumbass portion of the populace believes it to have always been that way. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  24. No one if forcing you to marry another man. You "Christian folk" need to do a little less worrying about how other people live and look at yourselves. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  25. 372 jumps at age 42 on a wingsuit course. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
