leh-nerd skin-erd Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Why does it seem like these sort of bad things happen in Miami? Thunderdome. Edited April 13, 2016 by leh-nerd skin-erd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Stop that. The only places where shootings aren't happening on the reg are gated enclaves. That's just what your real estate agent wants you to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 How do the shooting rates change when you throw out Chicago, DC and other hotbeds? Are you kidding? How does my success rate with the women change when you throw out the girls that wont bang me? How does EJ's completion percentage change when you throw out the dropped balls? How does Nix's GM rating change if you throw out the 2010 draft? You cant manipulate stats like that just to make them prove your point. Although that is classic FC MO.

I suppose you can't throw out large amounts of data. I would, however, advise you to take a look at some of those numbers and tell me if it isn't possible that's it's just not that simple.

FireChan Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) From sea to shining sea. Ha ha ha, no. Is "gun culture" as pervasive in Vermont as DC? Then why does DC have more the 5x the rate of gun murders? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States_by_state Edited April 13, 2016 by FireChan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to every other country in the world, Americans as a whole are far more obsessed with guns than almost anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Nothing you shouldnt already know. Too many Americans are obsessed with their hand-held death machines. Unnecessarily so. Few Americans are obsessed with guns as death machines. Most have them to protect themselves against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to every other country in the world, Americans as a whole are far more obsessed with guns than almost anyone else. I took the highest and lowest. Hardly a cherry pick. I'm just wondering if Vermont is "too high," why is DC so much higher? Are they even more American than the folks in Vermont? Or can we possibly think there may be other factors at play?

DrDawkinstein Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Few Americans are obsessed with guns as death machines. Most have them to protect themselves against them. Lol, whut? I took the highest and lowest. Hardly a cherry pick. I'm just wondering if Vermont is "too high," why is DC so much higher? Are they even more American than the folks in Vermont? Or can we possibly think there may be other factors at play? Vermont has a lower gun murder rate than the UK, FYI. Are they obsessed with guns more? Well it's the capital, so of course they are more American there. Duh. And of course other factors play into the higher rate there. But again that isnt the point. The point is, America in general is too obsessed with guns. There are various levels of that obsession. Whatever point that makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobillsatthebeach Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm glad to hear he is ok. I just don't understand why guys who have a one time shot at wealth and can invest for their life would put themselves in positions where they can ruin it. Maybe he never did anything wrong, and maybe a random act, giving tons of benefit of the doubt, but noone gets shot in any of the neighborhoods I frequent, ever. I don't know him so assume he is a back up or ST, but even so, you can still create a great nest egg for your future when you move onto your real career which will last 30 years. I lived in an upscale neighborhood years and a man killed his entire family. It can happen anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
