I am sure glad you can account for homocie numbers by the drop in guns...

What I'd like to see is the overall homocide rate... Because when people get angry enough to kill they often switch weapons to those available like knives and such.

Tazers are less lethal, they still kill a small number of people hit with them... (despite what Tazer international says).

That said Tazers should occupy a space between physical brute force (like beating the suspect with a stick) and shooting the suspect... Basically if you'd consider using a gun then a tazer option should be open.

Yes it is very dumb...

After all if it wont fire people will just use it as a bludgeon to beat someone to death instead and it'll still be declared a gun crime so the gun control nuts can still have statistics on their side.

Also what happens if someone tries to shoot a midget? The gun might think of them as a kid, so a midget on a shooting rampage might do even more damage.

Well timed sarcasm is usually pretty good :D

Ok everyone we're going to talk about our periods today...

Sorry couldnt resist injecting a bit of sarcasm.

Early Childhood Education, Paramedics, Nursing, Personal Support Worker (Helps old people in homes), Social Worker, immigration, etc...would be my guesses based on personal experience. Not sure if the numbers are there but those are mostly traditionally female dominated fields to begin with.

Or instead of setting the bar for your daughter to marry some man who went to college/university... You could instead encourage her to marry a GOOD man instead. A good man does not necessarily need to have a PhD, be a brain surgeon or rocket scientist or computer programmer...

It could just be a good man is a college dropout who realized that getting a bachelors, masters or PhD in Computer Science is a waste of time because those types of jobs are going to be outsourced to India and instead picked up a trade and went the apprenticeship route in something like Plumbing, Carpentry, Electrician... You know jobs which cant be sent to India and dont require a huge amount of brains, just common sense and a good work ethic :)

No matter what time or what era you live in it's always possible for a woman to find a good man.

Well you should incorporate in some manner of speaking...

The Pirate Party of Canada operates as a NPO (Non-Profit Organization). Also whatever structure you use would have to make sense for your situation. Inc, LLC, Corp, Ltd, etc... are just ways organizations use to communicate that they are a legal corporate entity...

If you're a NPO or charity you can use terms like 'fund', 'charity', 'institute' or stuff like that.

And yes I'm part of the Pirate Party of Canada, glad to see you're getting that problem fixed :)

Do you really think a legal firearm owner is going to go out and shoot someone on the sex offender list? With a gun that is registered to themselves? Unless it is a self defence case where someone is trying to rape them or their kid in which case I dont think a jury would convict.

That said I think the Gun Owner map should come down. It just makes a convenient list of homes for criminals to target in order to steal firearms by making it known those people possess firearms in their home. This sort of information should remain private between the individual in question and law enforcement. There is a difference betwen information which should be public (IE. There are X legal gun owners in New York) vs stuff which should be private/confidential (IE. John Doe of 1234 Main Street Apt 12 has an AK-47, A Glock 9mm and a shotgun).

What... You have the time to protest every single bill they write up? I dont. I just have the time to protest the ones important to me.

Just goes to show how important the internet is to everyone.

I'm being pessimistic but they'll eventually wear people down by continuing to introduce similar bills until people are desensitized to it.

Only they'll epicly fail to someone with a unibomber complex and doesnt even use the internet.

Well when something gets declared and repeated so often people treat it as fact.

2x RAM was considered the standard for a while because ram was sufficiently small. It's only with 64 bit OSes and larger memory addressing spaces (more than 4 GB of RAM) that this has been challeged. I mean if you have 16GB of RAM you really dont need 32GB of swap space.

Perhaps they should start by refining the 'sex offender registry'...

They should have a 'Pedophile Registry' and a 'Rapist Registry' but registering people who get busted for taking a leak in public really shouldnt be on such a registry. It just dilutes the effectiveness of such a registry.

I dont know I'm sure theres been a few incidents of explosive diarrhea I'm sure but nothing they'd have had to land the plane over.

Dont forget Canada which has more guns per capita than US and has a gun crime rate that is some of the lowest in the world.
