It is hilarious. I can almost see the thinking of the guys that produced the graph.

First, a graph representing the murder rates world wide:

unfortunately, that makes the United States look positively wonderful, as their murder rate is 25% better than the world average.

Well, heck, we better make it the OECD countries, that will make them the worst:

no - OECD comparisons are the norm if one intends to compare like/developed countries. Of course, again, you would prefer the U.S. gun culture be compared to 3rd-world, war torn and/or shyte-house countries. I can see your thinking here! :mrgreen:

OOOPS....the US murder rate is 4.5 per 100,000 (2013) Unfortunately for these guys, the rates in two OECD countries are higher....... in Estonia it is 5.0 per 100,000and in Mexico it is 21.5 per 100,000, almost 5 times the US rate.

So how can they make the USA look bad with all its guns?

OH....we'll just count GUN murders.........

Classic cherry-picking.

imagine... a comparison of GUN MURDER RATES actually including gun murder rate data! Go figure.

Just a minute, most murders in Mexico are firearms murders........despite their strict gun control.

I went back to look at the graph.

Guess what OECD country is omitted??

MEXICO!!

Gee, I wonder why?

Absolutely beyond belief.

No, these guys don't have an agenda or anything.

per the graph source: an acknowledgement that Mexico was not included was made and based upon the fact Mexico, "has about triple the U.S. rate due in large part to the ongoing drug war". No conspiracy Colpy... well... other than the one's you've already attached to the UN! But hey, there's still Estonia... what's going on there, hey!!! :mrgreen:

It ain't paranoia when they really are out to get you.

Stick around, you'll get educated on what a bunch of lying scum gun controllers really are........

oh my! You do take this very personal, don't you? How many guns does your militia have? Are "they" comin' fer them?

more... yes, more... taxi drive-by! As I said... your complete contribution to this thread!!! :mrgreen:




yes, you clearly are sensitive to the word... see Shawnee Chief, chief
Whatever you need to believe to feel important.

Your article is standard Shemanese crap. Complete ignorance of Shawnee social and governmental structure. You call Tecumseh a "chief" because he was a leader. About like calling Martin Luther King a "President." It only reveals your ignorance.

point of order, Mr. Speaker!!! Member Colpy, in mega-distraction/deflection mode, has managed to bury the discussion theme that highlighted gun violence has not lessened/reduced... member Colpy has managed to bury the discussion points that speak to medical advances and emergency/trauma care improvements/enhancements contributing to a lowering of the effective murder rate.


and... member Colpy still won't bite! Go figure. It's a conspiracy I tells ya!

there's a ton of sources that speak to "Chief Tecumseh"... try a googly, hey! If those sources are incorrect, you've got a lot of work ahead of you to correct them. Good luck! After your raised concern I even looked for one to align with your suggestion... couldn't find one... also couldn't find anything to suggest labeling Chief Tecumseh a chief was a slight/was incorrect... was "racist". I guess my googly powers were off. Go figure, hey!

All these dumb stats that are skewed to suit the politics of those who pay for them and are useless. This morning the first two local stories were one teenager shooting another in the head while jazzing to music. Didn't know the gun was loaded and is now facing man-slaughter charges. The next was two robberies in two days by a gun toting nutball.. Killed one shopkeeper.

I do wonder what, those who are constantly at each other's throats in here, would do face to face, while carrying concealed weapons??

Oops!!! I bet that's a little embarrassing.

It certainly must be. I've been a Shawnee for over half a century. You read a two-page article on the internet. And you think you know more about it than I.

This has nothing to do with your political orientation. There are ignorant, stupid, muleheaded right wingers too.

Northern Ontario,
My goodness, I never considered a leader not being a Chief without title of Chief.



Go smoke meth somewhere else.
Think back to the Oka crisis.....The women giving the orders to the warriors there were certainly leaders but they did not have the title of "Chief".

Good point. If he was leading a confederation of tribes with their own chiefs the guy leading them into battle is a war chief?
