The Kills - Murdermile

"40% of TEA Party types are.... Democrats or independants."

And what's the division of democrats and independants in that 40%?
And the vast majority is still republican though, 60%!

It's an empty fact..

That'd be awesome!

"Murder dropped to 75% last year, of the norm in Washington DC."
"Also noteworthy is that after the gun ban was made gun crimes skyrocketed in DC."
and
"I would specify that removing the ban was good policy and has once again resulted in verifiable results."

Correlation doesn't equal causation, but there's something to say for it.
A thorough research should be made to confirm this thesis, as the numbers on its own don't say anything. There can be all sorts of factors involved that are not clear now. Perhaps the police just did a better job this year..
What must be considered is what factors are involved in "murders" and "gun crimes". After all, I think we can agree that one of the largest factor contributing to crimerates are of a social and/or economic nature, wich is totally ignored at this time.

DPS, a full grown tree holds more water and absorbs a lot more carbondioxide than a sapling. This is exactly why an old tree has some value. In most cases, more than the timber you can get out of it. And that justifies it to be saved, till a certain amount of money is reached, of course.

Yup, the answer can be that simple!

Too true

Ewww...

They might have done that already if the fallout wouldn't affect their own..

"I wish Israel would pass a Constitutional (for them) level law saying per missile we will permanently hold 50 acres previously intended for the Palestinians."

And the award for stupidest comment goes to Flint!

Read some of Khaled Diab's articles about the matter on The Guardian's site. As a Brittish-Belgian Egyptian he's quite good at shunning bigotry. Although he's a bit hopeful sometimes..

Flint is Reetman?

"ah, wfs, is so good at  playing the part of a jealous european, thats pissed because his outdated system, ideals, culture, country, and continent; that were once the leaders of the world are sinking into obscurity with the rapid growth of Asia, Africa, and the Americas...
let me guess WFS, you're pro eu too, arent you? because what jealous european would care about losing a significant amount of their freedoms as long as in the process the eu becomes big enough to avoid obscurity for a couple more years..."

No, I'm the joking european....
