Hey if you Brits don't like the Irish, Then Get out of Ireland. Seems bad that a simple comment about liking a truck sinks to this level.

LOL was getting late and both were turning into D#ck measuring contests. But I stand by my defence of the coments about the Irish. Tack the discusion to a childish insult about an ethnic group and here I come guns a blazin.

From Yahoo today:

That seemed like a big number to me, so I hopped on to the CDC's website and looked up firearm deaths in 2001 (the most recent year). Turns out there were 29,573 firearm-related deaths, and 56.5% of those were suicides, leaving 11,671 homicides or "legal interventions".

In other words, alcohol is almost 7 times more likely to kill you than a gun unless you put the gun to your head yourself, in which case I'd have to give the gun odds.

DudeMan

right, so how many of these people drinking were homicides, and there is your real statistics. hell of a murder making someone drink soo much alcohol that they ger cirrosis of the liver.


em duh...

so the odds again are, 11 000 for guns and 0 for alcohol.

equating suicide into the crime stats is stupid too because you can take your own life with a belt.

its crime and reason for having them in the first place.

Dudeman, to the person who dies it doesn't really matter whether or not their killer MEANT to do it. If you get drunk and run me over or take out a gun and shoot me makes no difference.

So, again, 75000 alcohol related deaths, 29.5k firearm deaths. A death is a death is a death.

DudeMan

erm yeah accept the alcohol related deaths were largely self inflicted, and if you want to call a spade a spade you get run over by a drunk driver you were killed by a ton of metal. not by the alcohol.

ok
