Geezers 'Pet Hate' thread

cannot find the bodies in Canada.

 

Cain killed Able, way before guns were invented.

We all have evil in us, it is what degree we can contain it. that we feed the positive not the negative. Our learned behavior. It is a fact that just given wife abuse, it can be seen in the family before, and before and before. It is there in all of us.

 

Just checked a future calendar online, and the aliens are probably invading in 2020, so the figures could rise.

 

No, human beings are not bytes on a data line.. IMHO

 

Yes, but what I am saying is that you need something to compare figures to. It would be wrong in my opinion to say there are 'X' amount of murders in 'America' for example, but only half of that in the 'UK' , if America is twice as big as the UK (population wise). In this case you could say its the same in relation to population.
Without the population figures, it could definitely be misrepresented.
If the murder and population figures are correct, then surely the percentages would be??
Or have I gone mad?

 

actually , the UK including Ireland and Scotland is about the size as California, lot of people live in that area. Your right @NorthantsGeezer has to do with size relative.

But, given my life experience with human services , mental health, I still will maintain that evil does reside in us all (yes even me) . we have different levels, its how we deal with it, contain it, feed it. I have interacted with folks that I come away from with a very scary feeling from. And it is then I pray for protection. Is that true protection from a higher source or pulling from my being to avoid to not let an influence in, your call.

 

I understand your point @ARMANDII, but I don't see how just quoting death figures keeps to the point, and the sense of discussion, when like you say, there are other factors to consider.
How can just those figures be relevant then? Which was my initial point
I was just creating an example @redstar , nothing exact

 

@redstar you are comparing apples and oranges. If you want to include square miles as a parameter for data then we here in Canada have close to zero percent murders per square compared to you. And we have a lot fewer churches per capita.

You mentioned your state of California,which by the way, creates more pollution than my entire country, including our oil sands. and then there are how many more states ?

You are draining the great lakes via Lake Michigan to water the lawns in southern states, and it goes on.

One can spin stats any way they want, but dead people are just that.

They were somebody's mother, father, son, daughter.... and as a Christian you should not be defending the ability of every two digit i.q. person to exercise their right to bear arms and then kill people with them.

 

not sure where your yarn is coming from @CanadianLori just responding to @NorthantsGeezer example, nothing more nothing less. And as a Christian, my "should" do's are my business.

 

Is there any danger of getting back on topic here?

 

What topic? How about why do we need to sleep? That is so much wasted time.

No, if I didn't sleep I wouldn't get those cool dreams in high def...

If only we could turn a dial and selecf todays sleep cycle....
