Followed closely by:- Intentional self-harm by firearm at 1/218

McGyver would never have been able to exist all those years on TV without duct tape. I think it should be declared a national treasure!!😏

Originally posted by Jay PeateaInteresting, JP. I have no idea where I read the following info but it always stuck in my memory. The article concerned living forever and stated that 500 years would be the outside average in today's society because a person could figure on dying from a fatal accident every 500 years. I don't know if that makes sense or not but I thought it interesting.

Originally posted by chaswrayChas, don't argue with these non-Americans who know nothing about blacks committing most of the gun murders, or crime for that matter, in the US...against each other (every day in Philadelphia), and against non-blacks. For those of you about to call me a racist, shut your pie hole! Facts are facts..yes, white people kill black people too, but not at the rates blacks kill whites. Go to this website and judge for yourself: www.racismeantiblanc.bizland.com
What's your point? If they're quilty of murder, they're quilty of murder. All I'm saying is don't coddle the SOBs! White, black green or purple make them pay for the crime, don't give them the good life at my expense!!!
Do blacks kill whites 'cause they're white?...In my opinion, not necessarily, but the facts speak for themselves according to the website I included. I've nothing against black people; I have black friends, but if you outsiders are wondering why the prisons are full of black males, now you know....and don't blame past white racism...anybody who claims that they are in prison today because of past injustices is a liar...YOU do the crime, YOU do the time! Nobody or nothing forces anybody to kill, rob, or rape another human being... least of all racism....😲

Originally posted by DelmerSuicide represents 57% of all firearms deaths in the US! Again from a Harvard University study. Maybe we should try to figure out why so many people wish to waste their life? There are a great many people with disabilities that would like to have the life of a person commiting suicide!!!

Originally posted by chancremechanicThanks CM, but it burns my butt to more or less be called a racist by someone who knows nothing of me, and probably knows nothing of what goes on in the States!!!! Like I said I don't give a rat's arse about skin color, but I'm darned tired of them having "rights" when they're in prison for taking another person's life!!!
[b]Chas, don't argue with these non-Americans who know nothing

Originally posted by chancremechanicIs the US the only place where blacks commit most of the gun murders? The US isn't the only place that a significant portion of the population is black, but if it's the only place where where they commit most of the murders doesn't indicate the problem lies with America and not with blacks?

Originally posted by SkorjAbsolutely not! If a person of any race has citizenship in the US, they are American. Thus, an American problem encompasses African-Americans too. Sorry, but I can't support absolving murderers of guilt while we wait for some vague 'problem' to be fixed.
