We were discussing spelling capacity, not literacy, so Somalia is still on level with the USOriginally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostSomalian literacy?

I'm still not understanding the relevance of comparing British murder rates to Fairfax, VA murder rates. I get that someone said HC lives in a murderous hellhole which is obviously not true but the point that we have much higher murder rates in the US than in Britain is very much true.
Philly's was 27 per 100,000 people a few years back but is down to 19.6 as of 2010.
New Orleans' is 49.1 per 100K
Obviously, what constitutes murder varies between countries but according to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._homicide_rate) the global rate is 7.6 per 100K.
So NOLA has almost 6.5x the global rate. That's really bad.
Our national average is 4.8Last edited by Al B. Sure!; July 21, 2012, 19:15."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

BOOM! Headshot! ... I once took out 12 guys in a row in CS using a wall hack. This obviously means our military and police should just ditch the body armor because it's useless when it's so easy to just plant one right between the eyes ... especially in a panicked crowd, in a dark and smoke filled theater while under fire in a surprise attack!Originally posted by regexcellent View PostComment

No, a paintball game is nothing like a gunfight, but the mechanical aspect of aiming a paintball gun at someone at point blank range isn't different from aiming a gun, except that aiming a gun is easier.Comment

So, initially I meant this as a 'remember the dead' thread.
The reason I started it - Thursday night I was at a live theatre production. The theatre was in a complex with a movie theatre. There was a long line up of people, families, friends, some in costumes, some had been waiting there for hours to be the 'first in line' to see the new movie. I left the theatre around 11:30 as people were being left in - I assume the theatre was packed.
A couple of hours after I got home, I noticed the story on the net. It really hit me hard. I actually cried, something I rarely do.
I am pleased the media is memoralizing the victims and ignoring the piece of **** who did this.
I guess you Americans need your guns. Good luck with that.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

The shooter would have guns, no matter the law. People with permits don't just show up and collect a permit, there's actually instruction required.
