Yes. "Correlation Firearms and Firearm Deaths The correlation between firearms and firearm deaths is a significant concern in various regions. Studies have shown that higher levels of gun ownership are associated with increased rates of homicide, particularly firearm homicide. This relationship is observed across high-income countries and even when the United States is excluded. The evidence suggests that where there are more guns, both men and women are at a higher risk for homicide, particularly firearm homicide." ... a summary of the internet by Google.

There is a direct correlation between the number of guns in the general population and the number of people shot. Odd that.

He does have some strange ideas. Going back to mid-September for his worst.

Cannot beat an old inner tube - so many uses. Also see 'Wild Sling' for another use. And windfalls. Seen this, D ring and a couple of steel cable ties.

Didn't like Javid, ruined The Kirk by taking its business away (we got about), Christmas in The Kirk most years, summers we went to The Mall, gave MacMillans a miss mostly.. but yes, from about age 16 to mid 20s. Not sure we got the 10p pints that year though, though they ring a bell (might be that I did get them and just cannot remember)

Cinzano Biancos! Can I deny everything? (Then onto the Mall after)

I refer you to the earlier comments on assumptions and your comprehension problems. Suggest you seek help for both.

Ahhh, your usual comprehension failure. Suggest you take a look at doing a basic English comprehension course, it might help with your understanding of the world.

From the comment I remember reading, might have missed something in between the million posts you put up. BillQs comment was factually correct. BillQs comment was not expressing an opinion either way. I reckon that is another apology you owe him today. Idiot.

Not AI related but the help yourself tills are a game, usual routine for me is the -usually a lady- (ladies don't get shouted at or the agro that men get) has to pop over once or twice a shop. I once managed to get the whole till to shut down, go off line and show the 'Windows' screen (not sure exactly how, wish I could remember what I did). If the lady isn't there with the fob, I'll just leave that till 'broken' and move to the next one (saw the shop staff run out the shop for a shoplifter, check the cameras and realise the 'shoplifter' was just doing his shopping at a till that was working right. Yup, I know a few of the supermarket staff just because I'll ask them how their days were - trolley man who does saloon car racing, shelf stacker whose having a slow breakdown, other one whose boy is in the police - embarrasses The Boys "Dad how do you know them" "I don't, I just chat with them". AI won't do that. On topic of course, AI will have to cope with the grumpy old child in me who loves to work out how to break the machines.

Oooh the forums shining whit, and I note you were so pleased with your comment that you came back for your obligatory edit. However assumptions do make an as out of you, as they say. Idiot.

If that is what you say then it simply must be true despite the evidence of your earlier comments.

To the knife thing, it is a very rare occurrence, despite the best efforts of the Daily Mail and Telegraph to portray it otherwise. Advocating that we should all arm ourselves with a gun seams a bit over the top and doesn't actually cure the problem of people wanting to carry a knife, nor the fact that you pull a gun on them all you're doing is shifting the problem to someone else who doesn't. Criminals will then assume that the people are armed and just go for bigger guns. Look to the states who have more guns than we do, concealed carry and so on, and yet, they still have the full range of street crimes that we have and in large numbers too.

See the bit "Word origin"... offensive term for someone with Downs Syndrome.

If you are going to use the word make sure you know the meaning of it. BillQ is correct with it's meaning. Suggest a wee apology to him might be in order.
