Hey Zodiac. Perhaps you weren't aware of some of the scary statistics coming out of the U.S. with regards to gun violence, not even getting into what the global arms trade has helped inflict upon people all over the world.

One of my favourites is, "...but it is illegal!."

I hear the territories and the West of Canada are full of murderers.

The gas they brought to negative temperatures is made up of potassium atoms.http://www.nature.com/news/quantum-g...e-zero-1.12146

One word. Cannabis.

What do you keep doing to get banned?

I wasn't sure where to put this article about the Fukushima clean-up, but since it talks about the development of new technologies to remove cesium from the environment I think this is appropriate even though there is a sad element of politics and nepotism. The well connected construction...

It's too bad that he's still not in the House to see how he would have defined his position while having to be accountable to his electorate. If it's the guy I'm thinking of.

You should definitely go and hear what's going on and report on what you have learned about their nefarious plans.

Definitely need some kind of verification on something like this.

Scientists have discovered something called negative temperature when they were able to drop the temperature on molecules past absolute zero.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2404666.html

So many negatives.

How prescient of you to predict that something is not inevitable within three generations.

How can you be sure that there won't be further breakthroughs over the next 100 years?

The article explained that there has been a significant jump in AI which was in contrast to your position that there won't be intelligent computers in our grandchildren's lifetime.

The article is about deep learning programming.

Don't speak too fast. Some of us may still be alive.https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/24/s...ence.html?_r=0

Quirks and Quarks. The weekly science and technology show. Good stuff.http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/

I know, but feel good measures annoy me in the absence of evidence based policy.

Armed police began to patrol some schools in New Jersey. I don't see how this helps on a long term basis.http://www.nj.com/monmouth/index.ssf...incart_m-rpt-1

Yeah. A weak ban with lots of loopholes.

Senator Lindsey Graham: I will not vote for legislation that restricts guns or ammo.

NRA: The real monsters are the mentally ill.

Wow. The NRA spokesman is just like tad10. Only their stories are possible.

NRA spokesman on Meet the Press right now. He is getting schooled by the moderator. Columbine had armed guards...

What is flawed with the statistics? Keep making up stories of what could have happened, if that makes you feel better.

You're positive about that tad10? That if one of the male members had a gun and not the female that everything would have gone alright? Don't statistics show that homes that have guns are 4.5 times more likely to have a gun homicide or suicide occur than those without?

Another 4 people shot to death, plus three officers injured (one shot in the chest but saved by BPV).http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...8BK0Y520121223

Honestly? Only once, way back. I try to assume that everyone is trying to troll all the time so I don't take things very seriously here. I need you guys to let me know when someone is actually crazy.

I just saw a stat from the main American psychology group that said those with mental issues are 11 times more likely to be the victims of violent crime and only cause about 4-5% of all violent crimes.

I hear what you're saying. Personally, I would bet that social issues (e.g. education, peers, family, etc.) are the basis for more violent acts than any sort of schizophrenia sufferer.

Has there been a study showing that clinically mentally ill people are any more dangerous, statistically, than those classified as normal?

How else could you shoot someone for insulting you legally?

It was a nice touch when he mentioned Natural Born Killers.

Yeah, they lost their minds.

Did she ever come out and renounce her previous advocacy for that now discredited study from the UK?

Thanks Urgo. Happy Holidays everyone.

The president is speaking now on pushing through gun reforms.

Dumb parents and dumb kid.http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2012/12...medium=twitter

You also have a culture of security for whatever reason and it doesn't seem to be keeping you safe. It appears to be making you less safe to random mass attacks.
