Australia guns
 

I have an acquaintance who lives in California. She's *very* liberal in
her views which is to be expected, I guess.

She has recently announced that after living in the USA for the last 60+
years, she and her husband are moving to Australia next month to get
away from the USA's "crazy" obsession with guns. Like other liberals,
she has often advocated that the USA adopt the 1997 policy of a buy back
program following the mass shooting in Port Arthur, Australia.

She ignores some real data though. First, Australia does not have
anything like a 2nd Amendment in it's constitution. Gun rights are
controlled by the "states" rather than the federal government.
Secondly, there are more privately owned firearms in Australia today
than there were before 1996. The million guns destroyed after Port
Arthur have been replaced with 1,026,000 new ones.

But, I agree with her about one thing. The culture is different there.
Guns are primarily used for hunting and there's no obsession with copies
of military style semi-automatics.

Yup, the culture is different. Apparently they didn't get their fair share of deviants.

"Very liberal." Love it. It is the "liberal states" where the atmosphere
is most conducive to innovation technology.

Didn't you make your fortune via innovation technology?

Just about every assessment I've seen says that the leading technology
states in terms of innovation technology and percentages of workers
employed in innovation technology are Massachusetts, California, New
York, and Connecticut.

You think there is a connection between liberal politics and innovation
technology? You think SpaceX is headquartered in California by accident?

I wonder how successful you might have been, business technology wise,
had you started up when you did in Mississippi, South Carolina, or Florida.

He tries very hard to be an asshole. Thing is, he really doesn't have to try at all.

The company I work for is an industry leader in our field, and it is acomputer/IP/software centric business. We were started in a small town in SC, and continue to be headquartered here. While large cities in the popular population centers certainly attract young professionals, the trend seems to be moving away from that model and more into a situation like ours. We have no problem attracting and keeping talent.

There seems to be a remaining myth that "high tech" industries only
exist in the areas Harry mentioned. Back in the 50's and 60's it was
probably so but "high tech" has expanded or sprung up virtually
everwhere in the USA. Even those states known mostly as being
agricultural in nature have their share of "high tech" companies.

Harry is wrong. I could have just as easily set up shop back in 1989 in
South Carolina or elsewhere. Our largest domestic competitor was located
in Texas and the largest international competitor was located in Germany.

I just happened to live in MA and had kids in school.

I didn't see North Carolina there. Wayne is right you missed Triangle
Park.
You also seem to ignore that Bill Gates bought the software that was
the basis for Microsoft from a guy in New Mexico. I agree these
computer people clustered around Silicon Valley but that was largely
because the government shoveled massive amounts of DoD and NASA
contract money there, thanks to the power of having more congressional
reps but it has nothing to do with gun control. It has to do with
where the fabs were.

Guns are primarily used for hunting and there's no obsession with copies

"Very liberal." Love it. It is the "liberal states" where the atmosphere

Didn't you make your fortune via innovation technology?

Just about every assessment I've seen says that the leading technology

You think there is a connection between liberal politics and innovation

Yup, the culture is different. Apparently they didn't get their fair share of deviants.



I think they just do a better job of weeding the deviants out. It is
certainly a different culture tho,.


Australia was founded with deviants. So was the USA in some part. The
British transported excess criminals initially to America until the
Revolutionary War and then established colonies in Australia to send
them to.

Harry, go to google groups and see if your snide little snippet actually shows up there, that is unless Richard posted it (which he did) it obviously won't appear.

Of course my public education failed me. I live in down state Illinois which is below Chicago, and Chicago is also below Detroit. You said Liberals started public education? Well, there's your socialist trickle down for you Harry.

She has recently announced that after living in the USA for the last 60+
years, she and her husband are moving to Australia next month to get
away from the USA's "crazy" obsession with guns.* Like other liberals,
she has often advocated that the USA adopt the 1997 policy of a buy back
program following the* mass shooting in Port Arthur, Australia.

She ignores some real data though. First, Australia does not have
anything like a 2nd Amendment in it's constitution.* Gun rights are
controlled by the "states" rather than the federal government. Secondly,
there are more privately owned firearms in Australia today than there
were before 1996. The million guns destroyed after Port Arthur have been
replaced with 1,026,000 new ones.

But, I agree with her about one thing.* The culture is different there.
Guns are primarily used for hunting and there's no obsession with copies
of military style semi-automatics.



"Very liberal." Love it. It is the "liberal states" where the atmosphere
is most conducive to innovation technology.

Didn't you make your fortune via innovation technology?

Just about every assessment I've seen says that the leading technology
states in terms of innovation technology and percentages of workers
employed in innovation technology are Massachusetts, California, New
York, and Connecticut.

You think there is a connection between liberal politics and innovation
technology? You think SpaceX is headquartered in California by accident?

I wonder how successful you might have been, business technology wise,
had you started up when you did in Mississippi, South Carolina, or Florida.

Illinois, one of the bluest states of them all would have loved to have
had Richards company so they could suck him dry of taxes and still be
broke with nothing to show for it.


Illinois has you, an obvious failure of public education. 😀


Wow. Harry sure woke up this morning with a hair across his ass.
Either that or his 'roids are acting up.

Richard, it's interesting how he wrote that and hid it from me. I'd not
known it was there till you replied to it...

What a joke...


What are you imbibing? I know of no way to "hide" a post of mine from
someone else reading usenet groups. Maybe it isn't a joke that education
failed you, or maybe this communication medium is just too complex for you


Harry, go to google groups and see if your snide little snippet actually
shows up there, that is unless Richard posted it (which he did) it obviously won't appear.

Of course my public education failed me. I live in down state Illinois
which is below Chicago, and Chicago is also below Detroit. You said
Liberals started public education? Well, there's your socialist trickle down for you Harry.



I don’t use google groups. It sucks. I suspect therein lies your problem
with my post.

Your lack of computer savvy is showing now. If I don't want Tim or any
other Google Groups guy to see my post, I just turn on the "no
archive" bit. I guess you were not paying attention when that was
discussed here.


I don’t pay any attention to the “standards” for google groups.

It was Fat Harries little pumpkin in Halifax who first encountered

Or much else technical. Google Groups is archival, by it's very
nature, like anything Google ever sniffs. They do respect the no
archive bit, although it wasn't always so. The result is they know
they can't forget so they don't admit to reading it at all. (I bet
they still mine the data).

It's probably some of both. Google Groups as a usenet posting facility
pretty much sucks. That has been reported here and many other places any
number of times. It's been pointed out to you and to Don, who also uses
Google Groups. There are many annoying issues with it. I will not get
into them here. If you couldn't find a particular post of mine, it isn't
likely the problem is with my usenet client. I've been using the same
one for decades and I don't change the settings. I also haven't changed
the usenet client I use on my cell or my iPad.

It is correct that I do not use Google Groups, and it is also true I
have no interest in using it. I will be delighted, however, to point out
on occasion the "confusion" that results from your posting via Google
Groups. The most common problem is lack of context, though there are
formatting issues, too.
