In case Scott doesn't like the NZ stats, here are some from

Homicides per 100,000 population - average per year 1998 to 2000

USA 5.87
New Zealand 2.28
Sweden 2.06
Australia 1.87
Canada 1.79
England & Wales 1.50
Netherlands 1.40
Germany 1.19
Denmark 1.00


So, for me, these statistics beg the question: WHY? Why is the
muder
rate so much higher in the USA? Are there extenuating factors?

Hmmm.....

[in the case of Canada we know, of course, that hundreds of
people
are
murdered every year by the state -- waiting in medical treatment

So frtwz, are you acknowledging on KMANs behalf that rick is
correct in
what he has been claiming? Now can we all move on? GRIN TnT

Tinkerntom, I'm actually surprised that a man of your high moral
stands has
not jumped in to criticize rick for being a liar and a coward. Why
is
that?

I learned in my bar fighting days, that if it's not my fight, there
is
nothing gained by getting my nose broke! You and rick look to be
having
a good dance, so I don't see no cause to cut in! TnT

You cut in all the time! Why be such a priss on this issue?

FYI, it's not just with me that rick is a liar and a coward. His
behavior is
rather universal on that note.

On Feb 13, at 6:21 I warned frtwz about engaging in a dialog with rick,
and I have continued to do so on a number of ocassions. At that time I
caught a little heat from r myself. But you have been around for
awhile, and I have observed this phenomenon between the two of you
before. So you should know better!

Besides, on a lot of points, I probably would not necessarily disagree
with the guy, I just try to be a little more civil in my conversation.
Now he has been around for a lot longer than I so maybe he has learned
something that I have yet to learn. However in the meantime I will just
watch and learn, he's a great teacher.

As far as cutting in all the time, I only cut in when I choose to cut
in, and sometimes I choose to not cut in, specially when I stand to get
my toes stepped on. The music you guys have been dancing to is really
bad, and your moves are pretty ugly, but if yu are enjoying it, carry
on. Don't let me interfere! TnT
