    RE: Mr. Lott’s article

    im really not up to going back over this ground but with sucha title that IMHO it speaks for iteslf.

    but this caught my eye this time “it’s getting like in America, and we don’t want to see that here.” – my point entirley, aprat form lack of health care, and the death penalty, the vast numbers of guns (was it 30% ? – sorry not viewing the whole thread) held by both ‘normal’ citizens and crminals makes america appear to be a land of gun mad nutters to some one like me who lives wiht the odd farmer with a shotgun. if it is 30% thats still one gun in every household (assume avearge family is around 4 people).

    RE: Murders per 100,000

    well djcros the numbers were something like 230 million gun i amercia in a newsweek specail and the us pollation on my ten year old map of the world is down as 258 million. now i know why elp dosen’t like newsweek.

    i understand the need for rifles in rural area garry and i acept that in the uk you are likley to come across farmers with shotguns, but fundmentally gun ownership is nowhere the same levels.

    for the third time lets agree to disagree (we are getting nowhere)

    RE: Kra Canal .

    i know when nukes first came about a proposal for a peaceful use was for “tunnelling” (for wan tof a better word) out a wider pannama canal.

    canal width is what limmites US ships in width.

    although nowadays some ships go round the cape of good hope and cape horn cos they are so wide

    BYW – ike going through suze

    RE: Murders per 100,000

    wiht reference to bruce lle – my point is that 99% of the uk is unarmed bar a tiny ount of criminals and the ood shotgun in the country – it scares me that 23 out of 25 amercan have a gun of any sort including assult rifels and uzis.

    fundmentally ii doubtt that even in the us that every woamn caries a gun andtherefore deers criminal and i dout that that could haapen here.

    here i live witht eh treat that the ira or the russian could kill me (by bomb or nuke) sinc i was born and that dosen’t particualry bother me and i ahven’t felt the need that carrying a gun will stop tthat -neither have our police.

    i can see this argument is going no where (i stand firm and so fo you) so i think we should agree to disagree.

    RE: Oscar in the Med

    the M2K IS NOT carrier caperble

    the rafael IS, so is the harrier, and F4

    this idea is a real no brainer -greece is far better off upgarding / replacing a-7 and f-4s

    RE: Murders per 100,000

    [updated:LAST EDITED ON 10-05-02 AT 09:27 AM (GMT)]our police over here are unarmed unless there is an armed incident and then a specail squad with guns (mp5s) come out and they have really harsh ROE.

    unlike most other places in the world our coopers are unarmed and im very proud of that. it really does worry me people having guns at all, including your average cooper.

    i also don’t think that a woman having a gun will be able to help herself from a rapist as how will the rapist knowshe has a gun, and will she be willing to fire it and even so i doubt it would be used effectivly (ie lack of traing, poor sight in a dark alley, etc)
