Thought for the day:
If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the last 22 months, that gives a firearm
death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000.
That means that you are 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the United State's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C
Funny stuff?:blink:Quote:

It seems to me that you just said that DC isn't in the States? :blink:Quote:

it's kinda like saying "something isn't the same in london as it is in england". it makes no sense. the correct way would be "something isn't the same in london as it is in the rest of england"Quote:

It's not a state.
It's not in a state....unless it's confusion and mayhem.
I never said it was a state.
I know DC isn't a state but it's in the States. As in the United States of America.
Need I remind you that you said:In that quote, it seems to me that you refer to DC as not being "part of" the States.Quote:
Gun control doesn't work in DC 'cause all it does is stop law-biding citizens from getting a legal firearm like in the states.
If you cannot understand this simple concept then it's a lost cause to explain further.
When if you knew.....Quote:

it should have been possible for a smart fella like yerself to figure out that uh.....I'm actually referring the states...as it's written....simply because...
it wasn't a state
and
I actually live in the area
(and didn't capitalize it like you did)

Busy, your English was imprecise.
VB1234 picked you up on it, had you been more exact with your terminology, this misunderstanding wouldn't have occurred.
Please, bear this in mind for future posts. Thanks.

If States wasn't capitalized, where was the reference to The United States Of America?
Fact is, a smart person should have gleaned what was being conveyed especially when all you had to do was take it as written. :1eye:
Yup yup :DQuote:
