Yup, when 'person B' presented, "Isn't pride supposed to be a sin?"

Asking a simple question doesn't mis-characterize your position.

Isn't pride supposed to be a sin?

There's always room for improvement.

So what? I sure don't recall saying this country was perfect. I'm just not in favor of making it out

the list also, given the wagon you ride.


Salmonbait

There's over 80 countries with a better rate.

You don't give a **** about the USA being the best?

Being 'the best' is an impossible dream given the population of this country and the Democrats'
desire to keep Blacks uneducated and/or on handouts.


Salmonbait

What an idiot! Do you really believe that **** you wrote above? Please,
give some real evidence of that.

Here, be sure and look at all 200 or so.

Here's another: http://trenton.homicidewatch.org/suspects/

Check out Chicago: http://homicides.redeyechicago.com/races/

I'm sure a little more research on your part will provide the evidence you need.


Salmonbait

I asked for evidence of your statement "Democrats' desire to keep Blacks
uneducated and/or on handouts. Do you really think that the **** you
posted proves that point? If so, how?

Uh, what I said was there is a lot of poverty in the BVI. There is.

But there are not supposed to be any guns and that was what we were

Wow, nice spin!!!

Salmonbait is correct: he stinks.

The links are racist?

So typical of a liberal - call names when they're out of sense.

You changed the subject. I was just trying to get back on topic,

Are you and Harry making the point that poor people are more likely to
kill.
OK I will give you that. It is true, unless you are a Kennedy. (or
McAfee it appears)
Maybe we should means test gun ownership.

Nope. I said there was a lot of poverty in BVI after you suggested there
wasn't.

Poverty is relative to your expectations and to the life style of your
peers. There are a lot of people in the islands who don't have a lot
of money, who you might judge as being technically poor. I had a
great aunt and uncle like that in upstate NY. They were warm, dry
and well fed, just like most people in the islands, but they had a
very modest life style without a lot of what we consider modern
conveniences. They were happy however, had their own house in the
country, and had everything they needed.

I've gotten to know a few people down in the Bahamian Out Islands.
There are no real jobs there other than fishing but people have a
place to live and seem well adjusted. We once asked one of them about
the chickens which seem to run loose everywhere. Specifically I
asked how they knew who the chickens belonged to. We received a very
puzzled look, and the answer was that nobody knew and it didn't
matter: "If you want a chicken, you just go out and catch one."
Same thing is true with the pigs which run loose on many islands.

So how can you be really poor in a place like that?
