Analysts attribute the high rates of gun crime in Manchester, England, to acute social deprivation in deprived areas where it was often hard to make money through legitimate means.



Glasgow, Scotland is another place high on social deprivation and high on gun-crime. Yet, Only a "very small" number of killings are linked to organised crime, a Home Office study has suggested.



Analysis of 696 murder and manslaughter cases in England and Wales in 2005-6 showed only 42 (6%) [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13693321] of them were known to be linked to organised crime.



There could well be a world-wide pattern where the ease of legitimate ownership and reduced gun-crime rates go hand-in-hand?

Malta is low too, but not one of lowest, I'm a bit surprised.

Trying to convince us to move out of the usa?

huh?

Guns don't kill people... People kill people.

wow i didn't know that all those placed had such high murder rates.....i know where i'm NOT going......but i like that japan has a low spot on the list as well.

"guns don't kill people, people kill people".



But the guns make it much easier and quicker and cleaner so a person may kill someone in the heat of the moment where without a gun they wouldn't.

I knew that Mexico and Russia were near the top of the list...

Daire, there are quicker and cleaner ways to kill a person.

heh. and thats exactlywhy I prefer dogs.



awesome LOL

Those sly cats. I love 'em!

lol explains why my cat disapears >_>



then again so does my dog lol

lol, very good. I like the take on being a 'good little hunter'.

My cat has learned to sabotage outside communications by shredding the mail.

The greatest comparison between dogs and cats I ever heard goes as follows:



Dogs are fed, sheltered, and showered with love. They think, "These creatures must be gods!"



Cats are fed, sheltered, and showered with love. They think, "I must be a god!"

...which is why I love cats a bit more than dogs. LOL! I think I'm stealing this for my journal. Thank you.

So this is why my cat keeps disconnecting my wireless... now I know his secrets.

hilarity

:D

I could hardly contain myself from laughter as I read every word! My this is so funny and yet could it really be what the other side of the coin is! Marvelous entry.......

Now I know why I have a Lab and not cats anymore LOL cats think they are superior and that we should submit to them.. not happening LOL

Exactly why dogs annoy me. EVERY tinny little thing makes them happy. a cat you got to work to make them happy ^^

Nice. I need the gas powered hair dryer, obviously.

I was looking at those Leafs online last week. I think they said it only costs like 3 bucks in electricity to fully charge it.

lol, one of the better ads from the States. As for the product, I don't think we are quite there yet with electric cars.

omg. Gas-powered toothbrushes!

I missed it the first time I watched this ad, but the guy at the end, filling up the car... The car is the Chevy Volt. The Volt considered to be the main competition for this new Nissan.

I am a GM tech and we are far from being advanced in automotive technology, i have taken training in Hybrid and electric technology.Just Imagine in a few more years people hasnt seen nothing yet ..considering the average car now a days has at least 12 computers and i have seen some have as many as 28 computers to operate a vehicle..

I bought a Honda Insight this year and so far, no regrets.

I haven't (yet) experienced anything like this. The info you've provided is valuable should I or anyone else have the problem. I'll be sure to refer to it. Thank you.

Several years ago I got the AVG360 and it sounds like the one you got did things similar.I got lucky though and went into the prefetch file and upon finding the documents,opened them with notepad and re wrote the doc which appeared to render them inert.Then I deleted them one by one.

It worked.

This is good to know... At least it's one less thing I would need to call the I.T. guy about. ;)

This sounds exactly like something I had a while ago. Of course I had no idea what to do. And when I sought help, everyone told me my hard-drive had gone to crap and needed to be replaced.



Needless to say, my hard-drive was fine.

yep. I had one of these in my sons laptop and it was almost impossible to resolve. I hadn't realised that it was in the registry at first. It took hours to figure it out.



Macafee seemed to be where it had located itself so I needed to download another security program which was difficult as hell as the virus kept on interfering with all the browsers.



Luckily, I managed to get Avast to disable it and it wouldn't surprise me if bits of the program are still hidden in the pc. I'm going to try these steps. Thanks.

I had 2 of these AVG's icon, and it was simple to spot.



The one did mess with the registry, but after an hour of tinkering, i was able to get it off.



You did around what i had to do. except i had to just shut off the computer because it was a desktop.

a couple of years ago, i got away from the top anti virus softwares, like mcfee, avg, norton... to name a few. I been with avast since they came out with the AVG 8.0. its been a while lol



Hope this isn't the new all in one bad bug. lol

I had that the other week. "Windows Vista Defender" it was.



I was able to get into safe mode to do a System Restore, though.

I had this same one last year. I rebooted in safe mode and ran Malwarebytes. I now have Microsoft Security Essentials on all my computers as well as Malwarebytes.

They both kill those types of viruses before they get a chance to start.

I agree. We loved it and they enhanced the story, unlike most prequels.

I too am looking forward to seeing it more for the story line than the effects, I'm a bit geekish like that!

Thanks for the review - I love the X -Men and had NO desire to see this movie as most prequels are poorly done.



Now that you state how well written it is I will have to go and check this out

I'm a big X-Men fan... Hoping to catch it this weekend.

I'll have to go see it this weekend :)

Yeah I like this X-Men allot. They are making a sequel to X-Men: First Class already

I feel much the same way about the poaching of elephants. I have never been the Circus and don't intend to because of the way elephants are treated there. I will not pay money to benefit that.

Since i have no cable or any other form of 'watching' it via the tube.... If they do sink the ship.... Send me a copy of the show. ty.



:)



Some of the things they did, i thought was beyond safe. I would of not approved the boarding of the other ship as they did. So much could of happened.

I never got real fur, or exotic product coming from any animals that is rare or in somr sort of risk of extinction or that is not meant to be eating for survival.



Like an old wise man told me once: do you hunt to feed yourself, your family? Then bless the earth for the animal who gave you food, do you hunt to keep you warm and your familiy as winter is near, then bless the earth for its gift of warmth. If you hunt for anything else, then may you be damned and your familiy hunt down like the animal you are.

I feel the same way. You've probably seen 'The Cove'... it's pretty horrible.

You can probably imagine my take on it, so I'll spare you.

I, being a vegetarian for almost 17 years and done much research and have seen so many brutal photos and video. I love the Sea Shepherd and what they stand for. It is really hard to make a show like that and make it "popular" enough to catch on. My past 2 research papers in school were against animal testing and that is a very huge debate in itself! YAY! For a new season of Whale Wars!

its refreshing to hear someone say that climate change is a joke, I kinda think along similar lines.



Seals and various types of small whale and dolphin are all around the island I live on and so, I've grown up knowing they are mammals with a more advanced intelligence than we give them credit for.



Marine biologists work here to protect them because believe it or not, they do more good than harm so culling makes no sense, and in this part of the world they aren't killed for food. I can see why the Inuit people use them for food, but the Japanese seem to be slaughtering needlessly and mindlessly. Its sad :(

I just feel that there are MANY better ways to do research instead of dragging them on board and killing them. They could even look for a different avenue to get their goals acomplished.



I admire the Sea Shepherds for what they do. I do however think they walk a VERY fine line. So far (in my book at least) they haven't crossed it but who knows... sometimes events just push people to their most extreme.
