and there is something in not letting yourself be emotionally swayed into prefering statistical illusions.
welcome into the limelight. it must make a change from piglet's ample shadow.
banning guns would deny these psychos the opportunity to kill tens of people in one go. you seem utterly incapable of accepting this for no reason that i can fathom.
I'm not suggesting anything you normally hate; i'm not suggesting people be kind to each other, or that they laugh and joke, or that they join hands and sing.
I'm suggesting that one nation bans one human invention because we know that by doing so we would save lives.
You in the meantime are standing in the shadows waving your arms like a spastic and saying essentially "cancer kills more people than measels so why vaccinate against measels???"
