| (...) You're stripping away the numbers for the sake of a punchline. According to the first article, the number of firearms-related murders in 1996 England/Wales was 49. Forty-nine! Pittsburgh alone had 47 murders in 1996, and we don't have a gun (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| (...) A good writer of fiction and propaganda, yes. And to be fair, that's all he claims to be. When pressed, he doesn't claim to tell truth. My issue with him is that he doesn't disclaim very well at all and the credulous are (perhaps deservedly (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Is it hard because he's developmentally disadvantaged or (...) (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Another interesting tid-bit about the movie was that there was (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

My biggest beef with MASH is that it was rather blatant in its bias, and worse, it was good enough that it made Alan Alda and Mike Farrell (useful idiots both) and other fellow travelers shedfuls of cash. But it's a pretty funny show (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
