Gun Culture in USA

Failed my biology test today:
They asked, "What is commonly found in cells?"
Apparently "black people" wasn't the correct answer

The same people that cheered the OJ verdict are the same ones that are protesting the Travon verdict.  Seems quite racist to me.

This is America where the 15 blacks that worked for me got together and out of their pockets had a special coffee mug made for me when I was transferred.  I have this mug here in Thailand with me.

You must be so proud 15 of your friends that managed to scrape together enough money to buy you a SPECIAL coffee mug.
They must of thought the world of you.
 

They weren't my friends.  I was their boss, or more likely their bosses, bosses, boss.  So I was very surprised as I had been told they would hide from as I would walk through the halls.  And yes, I was pleased that they would scape together the money to have a hand made special designed ceramic mug with the unit symbol and my name on it.

Roots the TV miniseries comes to mind.

Do you think they were trying to tell you something because they bought you a MUG.

This maybe of some help to you Speros.

Proud to be an Australian.

Affirmative action trick question

[candy]

A white guy goes into a bar and sees a black bartender.
 He says, "yo, nigger, get me a beer!"
 The bartender says, "that's very rude. How would you like it if I talked to you like that?"
 The white guy says, "let's switch places and see!"
 So they switch places.
 The bartender says, " yo, cracka, get me a beer!"
 The white guy says, "sorry, we don't serve niggers here!"

Ya ever get the feeling we have wondered off of the original thread??

Back on track.

While I was back in the states I happened by a counter selling the Desert Eagle.  Woooo, what a pistol.  Unfortunately it is made for a hand bigger than mine, so I had to pass.   

However, the Judge is now on my want list:

George Zimmerman not guilty based on the law.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23459963

The article states that the juror stated that Zimerman was not gulity based on the law. I fail to see how he got away with murder if the law states that the killing was legal.

Another sensationalistic headline by the media.

You should note that I have not stated one way or the other what my personal thoughts are and I am only reporting the facts rather than misleading headlines.

Zimmerman's walk through with the police the next day:

[dimple joe]

I saw this and thought of you lot.

"A steel worker stands near a pile of guns to be melted at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's 20th annual Gun Melt in Rancho Cucamonga, California. According to press releases from the sheriff's office, 5,495 weapons confiscated from criminals in Los Angeles County and collected through a gun buyback program are being melted and reformed as steel rebar at the mill."
Discuss.......

(please play nicely children)

New Gun coming on the market:






Guess what guys, you may not believe this, but I cannot think of a single reason for me to want one.  I believe they should be allowed to try to sell it, but think they will lose their ASSets.  Bigger is not always better. 

I can say this because the largest round I have every personally fired was a 155mm.  Also worked with 203mm rounds, but never pulled the lanyard.  Was not really fun as I could not view the direct results.  However, it was really interesting when I was on the receiving end of these weapons, would not care to do so again.

Not based upon the law. What is your point?

[bart simpson]

If Trayvon had a been a white kid,Zimmerman would have been found guilty.

100%

Just like the OJ trial?

The disproportionate representation of black Americans in the U.S.
The criminal justice system is well documented.Blacks comprise 13 percent of the national population, but 30 percent of people arrested, 41 percent of people in jail,and 49 percent of those in prison.Nine percent of all black adults are under some form of correctional supervision (in jail or prison, on probation or parole), compared to two percent of white adults.

Nationwide, blacks are incarcerated at 8.2 times the rate of whites. That is, a black person is 8.2 times more likely to be in prison than a white person.
 

 So with the stats you have provided Zimmerman was quite smart to have been armed confronting a black man. Proves Zimmermans  needed to carry a gun.

All this tells me is that I 13% of the population is committing 75% of the crime, and only 49% of the prisons population is made up of the afore mentioned 13%, then law enforcement needs to step up its game.  Just sayin....
