They couldn't beat Towers

Of all the years for me to buy season tickets >:C

So I hear Cigarette Smoking Man (William B Davis) from the X-Files is in this. Can anyone confirm if he get's more than 10 minutes screen time in this? If so, I may have to download it.

New Interpol single is really good. This album better leak soon.

one of the best pop records of the 90s imho

New Radicals Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too is a severely underrated album

The point of the link I posted was that areas that have higher numbers of legally purchased firearms have higher rates of firearms related deaths. The guy who shot up the school in Virginia used legally purchased guns. I'm not saying that all people who buy guns legally are criminals, but enough of them are for it to be reasonable to ban them. Not to mention that there's no reason a citizen in an industrialized, liberal democratic society needs a gun. None. It poses an unnecessary risk for no gain. However, a much better solution would be to prevent the root cause in the first place. In the case of the United States, violent crime could be curbed drastically by addressing the causes of crime. Inequality is a commonly highlighted cause of crime. The war on drugs and the blackmarket it has created is an absolutely gigantic contributor as well. I forget the statistic I had on Baltimore, but well over 50% of homicides were as a result of drug-related gang activity. These people, operating outside of the state, are the ones who carry and use weapons because they cannot go to the state for protection. With that said, I believe economic reform is less likely than gun reform. A significant majority of Americans (something like 60-70% last I checked) favour stronger gun restrictions. Unfortunatly, I don't think significant economic or gun reform is likely in either Canada or the U.S., but I think gun reform would be easier to pass, especially in the short term. It may also be time to hold gun manufacturers liable for the damage their products cause might curb their enthusiasm for selling and giving them away wrecklessly. The people who profit from the easy access to firearms take this threat seriously and are lobbying the US government to restrict the right of their victims to sue them. /rant

do you have kids? I don't need kids to know that we should be treating them in a respectful manner in the same way we would with adults. 10 bucks says floyd is still reading my posts

This is pretty awful behaviour but I was kind of expecting much worse. Talking about permanently denying him contact with her is pretty ludicrous I think, but should be up to her. The other day the neighbours were saying the most outrageous things at their kids when the kids wouldn't shut up. "I am going to tear your voice box out with these plyers if you don't SHUT UP". Was going to yell at the guy, I still don't know why I didn't. Parents are not challenged about the way they treat their kids enough because it's seen as a private matter or some such shit, but we need to think of it as a public matter.

Some findings from a review of research into firearms related violence done by Harvard in 2005: - gun availability is linked to higher rates of suicide - people living in areas where guns are more readily available are at an increased risk of homicide, especially gun-related homicide - accidental deaths are significantly more common in homes that have guns as compared to those that don't (this includes adults) - right-to-carry and concealed weapons laws cause no reduction in violent crime, and in some cases even increase it This is all common sense, really, but there's some data for people who rely on that sort of thing.

no beef with u brah

Actually, i was being serious banky. Floyd keeps yelling at me in the CE folder >:C
