A Political Thread pt. 2

[dirty harry]

**** me my job is boring me to the verge of insanity, probably wrong thread but i don't give a ****. Only way i clawed through last week was Cheltenham

I think a lot of use are in a similar spot... although I've spent most of my week poolside on the clock.

I always get uncomfortable with immigration when people talk about bringing in Doctors from Africa and India to help the NHS. Pretty sure it should work the other way round and we shouldn't be robbing doctors from the 3rd world.

Actually I beg to differ on that one, in recent years all the foreign doctors in hospital that have treated me, for example a surgeon from Vietnam, two eye doctors from Korea and Poland were here training.

They took their skills back to their own countries having gained experience and new skills.

There is not one standard definition across the US for "school shooting" but this is one that it seems is most used

It defines school shootings as situations when someone brandishes or fires a gun on school property or a bullet hits school property for any reason, regardless of the number of victims, time or day of the week, or motivation.

A gang shooting at 2am on a Saturday would somehow constitute a "school shooting" by this standard. Easy to see using this metric how the numbers can easily get skewed, especially when it comes to schools in high crime areas.

What's the definition used for mass shootings?

What's the definition used for mass shootings?

It’s something like 3 or more victims. On mobile.

2/3rds of all gun deaths are suicide. But you never hear that mentioned.

 

[McTallshort]

Sounds good, so how much money do you make a month from only fans then ?

Enough to keep me in fishing tackle and beer.

Fair enough

I think that's a pretty regularly brought up point.

Would that many people successfully commit suicide if they didn't have a readily available gun?

Depends how much of my custom you take. I've cornered the market in aging former rugby player with tight cheeks.

Cheers, The Pew Research people record the stats for suicides etc that i found

FBI have figures for mass shootings and what the call 'active shooter' incidents.

When you apply for a gun license in the UK having severe mental health issues is the one thing that will get it rejected...along with a violent criminal record

Based on my experiences over nearly 30 years yes they will. Those that are truly at that place in their heads will find a way. I've have seen a pretty equal number of hangings, shooting, CO poisonings and the always effective stepping in front of a train

Everybody and their mums is packin' around 'ere.

I know, it's depressing isn't it... I'm failing in 2025 too so far!!!

Varies according to source

In the UK are lower than the USA...

But I'd put that down to the food, and healthcare system, selling poisoned food to sell you the cure is a hell of a money maker
