I am surprised that Scott has let you slide this long on this one.


What's a "Scott"?

Maybe cause you let me slide on something ealier. Naw, no chance!

I commend you for you charity work,


A couple of bucks a year to the guys selling poppies........big deal. How
did you know?

however the above do not represent
a community. Only a small fraction of a community, as there are
households without guns in possession, all are under hopefully the
protective umbrella of those police officer and military who do carry
firearms.


You really don't have any idea of what the word "community" means, do you?

Obviously the Tibetan Buddist in their isolation from the
rest of the real world, found that all military possession of firearms
is not benevolent, and certainly not something that can be separated
from in isolation. Same with orphanages and convents, they may not have
a firearm in their possession, but there is more than likely one in th
vicinity.


There is a star going supernova somewhere "in th vicinity". So?

I hate being a pragmatist sometimes,


I hate being a .,xdnmgster sometimes.

but I found that utopian ideology
left me feeling very vulnerable.


Don't look now, sparky, but you are.

Sorry about bursting your bubble. TnT


I'll get over it......or I won't.......got any shiny new nickels?

=================
As to the USA, perhaps the 20% decline is due to the dot-com economic
explosion under the careful stewardship of President Clinton.


Huh?
=====================

Hey, it was my attempt at humor. I was trying to yank your chain. With
10,000 comedians out of work, I'll stick to my day job.

Weiser responding to my thesis that there is a causal link between
unemployment and crime:
================
Sorry, but no. I dispute your thesis and your conclusion.
==================

As with most of the "relationships" we're going to talk about in regard
to crime statistics, I think the causal link will be difficult to
impossible to prove.

Nonetheless, I'll stick with my position that there will generally be a
strong relationship between poverty and crime. More specifically, I'll
argue that "relative" poverty (related very closely to income disparity
within a society) will show a very strong correlation to crime. Give me
a few hours, and I'll find you the statistics.

You may well continue to dispute the relationship and, I guess, that'll
be the end of the argument as neither of us will be able to prove or
disprove causality. But, the same goes for your supposed gun-ownership
vs lower crime rate causality.

Weiser again:
===============
Japan is a surprise at +49%. But perhaps not. If we note that the
decade in question was not particularly kind to Japan economically,

we
ought not to be surprised that crime was up in Japan.


Which has exactly what to do with the issue?
================

We were looking at increasing and decreasing crime rates. Japan had a
fairly significant increase in crime over the decade in question.
That's what it has to do with the issue. It is a nation. It has a crime
rate. Did I miss something? I thought that's what we were talking
about.

Further, given my thesis, the increased crime rate is easily explained.
Does your thesis do as good a job explaining crime rate changes in
Japan?

Weiser says:
=================
While economics may play some part in the rates of crime, and in the
rates
of change in crime, your argument fails because despite improvements in
the
economies of the US, GB, Canada and Australia, the rate of change in
violent
crime STILL goes up in nations where guns are banned,
=================

Please note: crime rates in Scotland and Canada`went DOWN. [economic
sidebar: although manufacturing goes in the crapper in Scotland, North
Sea oil revenues come rolling in at a time that Scotland goes for
greater economic independence through devolution. Another example that
fits my "economy as causal factor" thesis]

I think you're going to have difficulty refuting the "economy as causal
factor" in crime thesis.

Further, how do the former communist regimes fit your model. It seems
to me, that people now have much greater access to guns than under the
commies. Or are these going to be statistical outliers in your model?
Perhaps your model only has applicability in the USA. Perhaps what
works in Florida is irrelevant in Florence.

GRIN]

frtzw906

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.

Of what?

More of how! How not to communicate, you don't get your message

through
very well with all this spitball shooting.


Do you think rick is interested in any messages?

He's not even interested in supporting any of his own statements.


I don't know, he has a nice website with nice stories and pictures, I
suppose there is a message there. I don't know him personally, so I
don't know what his credentials are for the current topic. I believe he
lives up there in your neck of the woods somewhere on this side of the
border. So he may have some personal experience or ax to grind. As I
said before, last post, I have not bothered to find the contentious
post by either of you, and have tried to ignore this particular part of
the thread. Not my responsibility to certify the post of anyone but
myself.



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

How so?

Well I am not the one getting hit by the spitballs!


And if you were, you probably wouldn't know!


No I usually know, and I have sensed some zinging around, but I've
learned to duck most of the time.

Rick is claiming that Canadians are dying in waiting lines for

health
care,
but he refuses to support his claim, and worse, says that he has

done
so,
when everyone can see that he hasn't.

That makes him a liar and a coward Tinkerntom, and so to (cowards)
are all
those who cower in the closet, afraid that their "toes will get
stepped on."

I've had my nose broke a enough times to show that I am no coward


That sounds a bit more like foolish than brave :-D


It was not probably the smartest, but hey you don't get paid for being
smart!


and
I am certainly not cowering in my closet. I am here in the forum

ready
to discuss in a reasonable fashion what so ever I feel inclined to
discuss.

I basically don't know that much about the Canadian Medical System


Neither does rick.


So you say!

and
whether people are dying waiting in line, I have no personal

knowledge
to make any comments. I have been watching this converstion with

rick
to see if any substantial info would surface, and have yet to see
anything that I can really ruminate on from either side.


Well Tinkerntom, it's very simple. Rick has made the claim, and he

has
failed to support it. Do you agree?


I agree, that you claim, that he made the claim, and failed to support
it. No mystery here after watching this squabble for the last week!

And yet the
bottom line as I see it, is that it is your system, and if it works

for
you, that is your business. It would only become my business if

someone
tried to enforce the system or some variation here in the States,

which
Hillary tried, and at the time, the majority of the people decided

that
we preferred the existing system we already have.


But do you agree that rick has made a claim that he has failed to

support?

Ask, and answered!

The topic at hand is really quite irrlevant to the question.


Maybe, possibly, probably!

Now as far as r being a liar and a coward, I don't know. I came

back
refreshed from vacation to find you two carrying on. I don't know

when
or where it started, and mostly have tried to ignore your spat. I

have
not seen any point in getting involved, or of even going back and
trying to find the supposed and questioned post by either one of

you. I
have enough trouble keeping my post square as you well know from

our
previous experiences. I have been told back in the beginning by my

good
friends Wilko and riverman, not to say anything on the forum, that

you
would say to someone face to face. Now seeing that he is a gun nut
(your definition) and possibly walks around with his "Assault

weapon"
armed and ready, it might not be wise to walk up to him and call

him a
"liar and a coward." So then I find it most profitable to refraim

from
doing so here on the net as well.


But do you agree that rick has made a claim that he has failed to

support?

Ask, and answered!

C'mon Tinkerntom, what type of society are we to build here in
rec.boats.paddle if we are not to support the basic building

blocks
of
logical discussion? Shame on you!

Now if you wanted to continue a new thread about the advantages of

the
Canadian Health Care system, sometime in the future, maybe there

could
be a logical discussion, but I doubt that could happen at this time

in
this thread. There appears to be to much macho image at risk

between
the two of you. I will look forward to that discussion, and I hope

that
I am back on your list of reasonable non cowards! TnT


This is about basic integrity Tinkerntom. The topic is really a

subordinate
issue. It is no different than if rick were to claim that purple

kayaks
result in increased death rates.


But purple kayaks would be fun to paddle. I almost bought a purple
Perception Overflow, but ended up with a yellow one instead. I do have
a purple paddle shirt that look pretty nice with the yellow kayaK. And
Paddling is what this forum is about, and anything else is OT and
subject to no particular rules of dialog. If you don't like the dialog
or question the integrity of the debatee, you can always withdraw when
you are no longer having fun, or get scared, or freaked out, or have a
headache.

I don't personally want to see you leave, since I enjoy are chats so
much, but you can always just ignore r if he bothers you that much.


Nah, you can't let the liars and degenerates take over just because they
"bother" you. Besides which, being challenged by someone with no integrity
is really not a challenge at all.

deaths could have been prevented from 1991 to 2000 if African
Americans had
received the same care as whites, according to an analysis in
the December
issue of the American Journal of Public Health.

Why are you focused on lying about Canadian health care when
hundreds of
thousands of people are dying unecessarily in your own
country?

Lots of things kill far more people that

brainwashing, fool...

Assault weapons are not needed in our communities.
=============================
Many things aren't 'needed', fool. Usenet has no real
'need'
Overall, cars have no real 'need.' Swimming pools have no
real
'need.' "need" has nothing to do with it fool.

It has more to do with purpose than need. Good point.
Other than being used to
shoot a lot of bullets at a lot of people quickly, their
only
other use is
for selfish idiots who want to compensate for a small penis
by
having an
assault weapon in their "collection" and so they can dream
about being a
hero one day by blasting away at some other idiot with an
assault weapon.
=======================
Nice spew, fool.... Too bad it's loony tooons time...

Ah, came a little (pun intended) too close to home on that
one!
=======================
Nope, just laughing at your stupidity...


I don't think so. You are laughing to cover the pain.

======================
The pain is watching how stupid you are.


The pain is living with your own cowardice.



All you are focusing on are visual aspects of a gun,
the
operation is not any different that many other
weapons.

It is different than any type of weapon where a lot
of
ammunition can't be fired quickly.
=================
Now you ignorance is really taking over, isn't it?
There
are many other weapons not on the assault weaopn list
that
you like to spew about that fire just as fast, and
just
as
many projectiles.

I didn't say otherwise. Look again.

I have, you only want to rant about the cause of the day
that
your ideology demands.

I'm not ranting at all.

Anything you have spewed about this week...

Name one thing. Please quote the alleged lie, and provide
proof
that it is a

That Canadians don't wait for treatment in your health care

You did not quote me.

you
are right.

But at least I am not a liar and a coward like you.

Right?

I think you're being overly optimistic.


Indeed. The problem with this utopian ideal is that it is functionally
impossible, anywhere in the world, to have a community without guns.

That being the case, the argument is fallacious at its core.


There are lots of communities in the world where no one has a gun. And
amazingly, no one gets shot there!

Rick is claiming that Canadians are dying in waiting lines for
health care,

===============
No fool, I have provided sites that claim that Canadians are
dying in wait lines. YIOU have yet to provide anything that
refutes those sites.


Nothing you have ever posted substantiates that claim.

If just one Canadian had died waiting for health care, it would be a
national scandal and featured as a lead story be all media.


but he refuses to support his claim, and worse, says that he
has done so,
when everyone can see that he hasn't.

=====================
Yes, I have. That you are too stupid, lazy, or ignorant on how
to fully use you computer is your problem. Plus, I have told you
where to go look for yourself on several occasions. YOU are too
afraid to do so, because your ideology will be found wanting.

That makes him a liar and a coward

=====================
So far, the only proven liar and coward has been you, fool.


I haven't lied about anything.


Tinkerntom, and so to (cowards) are all
those who cower in the closet, afraid that their "toes will get
stepped on."

C'mon Tinkerntom, what type of society are we to build here in
rec.boats.paddle if we are not to support the basic building
blocks of
logical discussion? Shame on you!

====================
ROTFLMAO This from the loony-toon that doesn't have a logical
bone is his body? Stop! The laughing is killing me! At least I
won't have to wait for treatment!


Unles you are one of the 886,000 African Americans who woudl still be alive
had they received the same care as whites, according to an analysis in the
December issue of the American Journal of Public Health.

Do you think rick is interested in any messages?

==============
Yes, truthful ones. When you going to make one?


There are no Canadians dying in waiting lines for health care. If just one
of them did, it would be a national scandal featured as the lead in every
news media.



He's not even interested in supporting any of his own
statements.

================
I have fool. You, on the other hand, have never been able to.
Why is that? Too busy lying?


I haven't lied.

You made a claim that you can't support and you are too big of a coward to
admit it.




snip..



Well Tinkerntom, it's very simple. Rick has made the claim, and
he has
failed to support it.

=================
LOL I provided sites for you. You are the one afraid to find
out the facts... Thanks again for proving your willful
ignorance, and the fact that you have nothing to back up your
claims....


Even Tinkerntom, frightened as he seems to be of your lunacy, has
acknowledged that you have failed to prove your claim.

Do you agree?
=================
Not if he reads the entire thread, and sees that I have supported
my claims. More than once.


Add him to the list of people (everyone but you) who hasn't seen any support
for your claim.

And yet the
bottom line as I see it, is that it is your system, and if it
works for
you, that is your business. It would only become my business
if someone
tried to enforce the system or some variation here in the
States, which
Hillary tried, and at the time, the majority of the people
decided that
we preferred the existing system we already have.


But do you agree that rick has made a claim that he has failed
to support?
The topic at hand is really quite irrlevant to the question.

Now as far as r being a liar and a coward, I don't know. I
came back
refreshed from vacation to find you two carrying on. I don't
know when
or where it started, and mostly have tried to ignore your
spat. I have
not seen any point in getting involved, or of even going back
and
trying to find the supposed and questioned post by either one
of you. I
have enough trouble keeping my post square as you well know
from our
previous experiences. I have been told back in the beginning
by my good
friends Wilko and riverman, not to say anything on the forum,
that you
would say to someone face to face. Now seeing that he is a gun
nut
(your definition) and possibly walks around with his "Assault
weapon"
armed and ready, it might not be wise to walk up to him and
call him a
"liar and a coward." So then I find it most profitable to
refraim from
doing so here on the net as well.

C'mon Tinkerntom, what type of society are we to build here
in
rec.boats.paddle if we are not to support the basic building
blocks
of
logical discussion? Shame on you!

Now if you wanted to continue a new thread about the
advantages of the
Canadian Health Care system, sometime in the future, maybe
there could
be a logical discussion, but I doubt that could happen at this
time in
this thread. There appears to be to much macho image at risk
between
the two of you. I will look forward to that discussion, and I
hope that
I am back on your list of reasonable non cowards! TnT


This is about basic integrity Tinkerntom. The topic is really a
subordinate
issue. It is no different than if rick were to claim that
purple kayaks
result in increased death rates.
