Actually the UK has a violence rate that surpasses the US, but I don't think you care about facts so carry on.

Not paying attention, are you.

I used the list given by the UN Human Development Index of countries of "very high human development"

The UN HDI is a statistical measure that gauges a country's level of human development.

The latest index was released on 24 July 2014 and covers the period up to 2013. The following are the 49 countries in the top quartile - having an HDI above 0.8, and classified as possessing a "Very high human development".


From the wikipedia article cited.

The UN doesn't know its **** from a hole in the ground. The U.S. has the highest murder rate in the (real) developed world because everyone is armed to the teeth.. and disputes are resolved at the point of gun rather than a closed fist. The former will leave you dead.. the latter with a black eye.

As I demonstrated, you are full of it.

The United States has the worst murder record in the developed world only if you define "developed world" as the USA and all countries with a murder rate less than that of the USA.

Jungschütze are considered the future of the Swiss gun culture. They are usually between 16 to 20 years old and participate at the gun society of their hometown in various competitions, most use the SIG 550 assault rifle for sports shooting so that they can prepare themselves for the militia service.
Special occasions at many gun societies also exist where kids as young as 10 years old are instructed on how to use these rifles.

Wow - that was quick. You gave me the chance to use the word "stupid" regarding one of your unsupported pro-gun posts almost immediately.

Now you are quibbling about the us of the word "developed." Perhaps it needs to be put in words that even you can understand. These are the nations have have gun-death rates similar to or higher than the US: Costa Rica
Zimbabwe
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Nicaragua
Anguilla
Paraguay
Philippines
Mexico
Guyana
Ecuador
Bahamas
Panama
Dominican Republic
South Africa
Brazil
Puerto Rico
Belize
Colombia
Trinidad and Tobago
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Guatemala
Venezuela
Jamaica
El Salvador

Do you detect a pattern? All of these nations are classified as developing or undeveloped economically or socially. All said, wonderful company for the nation that considers itself to be the most advanced on the planet.

Wait. So Switzerland isn't a developed country? And how does your post in any way demonstrate that Switzerland has a higher murder rate than the US?

So the chief defender of a large city admits the Law, Police cannot or will not do the job they are hired to do. It seems the front line in Chicago to gun violence is the homeowner. Well, I am sure this should cut down on the door to door sales people, anyway. Tell you one thing, not the place (city) to visit without a blooming good reason.

Yeah never thought about that... my Sundays will so peaceful without Jehovah Witness at more door.

I would rather be armed than have to wait on hold when I call 911, and 30 minutes for the police to arrive..

People who break in don't usually knock first!
Aww even those who knock get shot through the door......like the woman looking for help with her stalled car. How many dumb nuts shoot their spouses coming back from the bathroom in the middle of the night. Great way to get rid of a crappy spouse.

By the way, I love straightening Jehovah witnesses...I have even had one rush away from the house screaming blasphemer when I proved by his own logic he was God. Got told off by hubby for being downright mean.

exaggerate much?
Counter a news story with one of your anecdotes and claim superiority?
Guess you have no decent come back whatever!!. My logic beats the truth listed by the media everytime. I bet you believe the rain of frogs or perhaps the holiness of a piece of toast with the image of Jesus on it, if you can find it posted on Google by any doubtful news source, , rather than ordinary common sense usually seen in most adults.

And sad but there is no possible cure for such a condition. My condolences.

Then go on line and cry about mean people when you bring stupidity to their doors, lol.

You hypocrites are funny.
My word but why do you think I scream or cry on line? I am rich, happy, and healthy......What cares do I have?? Not many. I just worry about the mean, ignorant SOB's that are doing their best to turn every decent place on this planet into an armed camp or a waste dump. Take a bow!!

Bluebyrd, I have been trying to goad you into a debate of common sense, rational thought, and claims that are so moderate that they don't require support.

So far, all I get from you is the Homer Simpson.

I kinda like this Simpson saying...:How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.

You are either lying or out of your tiny, little mind. The USA is not even close to being the most violent country. It did not make the top 25 even. http://list25.com/25-most-dangerous-countries-according-to-global-peace-index/

It does not have the most people living in poverty: Population below poverty line - Country Comparison

damn, you are funny.
The USA has at least 3 States listed in your top 25. The last 5 of the 25 doesn't show up. Certainly wouldn't stop us from going to the USA but, they are on the list.

Look, I have learned here that a proper debate is not possible. U-Tube, questionable media sources, and downright obvious twisted stats, are the norm from those who's only solution to out of control, gun violence is more guns.

So, now, I only come here for fun. And you know, every time the response to any of my posts becomes person, I KNOW that is all the response that poster is capable of.
It makes my day LOL.

That is why you got the thumbs up sleeper!!
