'Unloved' daughter held after Christmas Eve family massacre

[MOBIUS]

Americans, your country is insane...

It was a near-unimaginable Christmas Eve tragedy: three generations of a family, six people, shot to death at their home, apparently the dreadful climax of years of resentment by a daughter who felt ignored.

Oh, I forgot: Guns don't kill people - people kill people...

Oh yeah, Merry Christmas.

Britons, your country is insane...

Three people were taken to hospital with serious burns after a gas-powered fondue set exploded.
The emergency services were called to Shedfield, Southampton, after reports that hot oil had exploded, injuring six people on Thursday evening.

A 15-year-old girl and a man and woman in their early 40s suffered "very serious injuries" on their hands, faces and arms.

Oh, I forgot: fondue don't kill people - people kill people...

Oh yeah, Merry Christmas.

Mobius is technically French.

Rest in Peace, you merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay!
You ignored this poor lost waif,
So you she had to slay.

She gunned you down with relish
For your heartless & cruel deeds.
Now you'll lay six feet under,
Pushing up weeds, pushing up weeds.
Now you're buried six feet under,
Pushing up weeds.

No, not just one nut - but a seemingly neverending production line of nuts intent on taking as many of their compatriots with them as they can...

How many US Poly posters own guns? Who's to say one of you isn't going to go nutso one day and gun a bunch of innocent people down - let's face it, given the odd behaviour of some of our Yank posters, I wouldn't put it past something like that happening...

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution!
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave

Yes gun control does a lot of good as we have seen in Britain which has very strict gun control laws.

That is in one week and in a nation with strict gun control.

(AP) In a country where most police are armed with little more than batons and the closest many people get to crime is a TV drama, criminals with guns have been seen as the kind of problem that afflicts other nations.

But a surge of murders, robberies and assaults involving guns in London, including the mugging of a teen-age girl who was shot in the head for a mobile phone, has shaken Britain's traditional attitude that guns are other peoples' problems.

According to figures released by the London police, muggings involving a firearm have risen by 53 percent, from 435 during the six months ending November 2000 to 667 during the same period last year.

THE government was accused yesterday of covering up the full extent of the gun crime epidemic sweeping Britain, after official figures showed that gun-related killings and injuries had risen more than fourfold since 1998.

Gun control seems to work real good in a strict gun control nation.

Think again before you label an entire nation crazy.
