I’ve shown this before.  Pre-human australopithecine males had enormous canines compared with females, until they abruptly became almost even when the human ancestor arrived, 4-6 million years ago.

Human males are a lot le…[Read more]

Jake,

And no news about “Jewish Space Lasers” would be complete without Mel Brooks prescience on this subject:

Jake,

Oh speaking of weapons did ya see how the zionists deployed lasers first time in history of combat to shoot down i guess missiles and drones? Bunch of countries are working on it. Israel is ahead of the game. If it is mastered ya know it is gonna be used on offense as well.

So Marjorie Taylor Green-Teeth was right about “Jewish Space…[Read more]

I think it must hurt something awful to be shot. Whether it is worse than a longbow delivering an arrow i can’t say. I know it depends on the specific weapon though. Hatchet in the heart? Bad Thoughts. Have ya seen that on netflix? It is funny albeit disgusting.

Speaking of guns Baffert says he has a slew of 2 yr old Gun Runners who can run like…[Read more]

Unseen,

You’re right. I didn’t flunk genetics in college ’cause I never took the course. LOL But hopefully everyone knew what I was getting at.

Well, since X Chromosomes are in fact shared by both males and females, as taught in any basic biology course, what you’re getting at is that you not only uphold a nonsensical position of gun contr…[Read more]

The great bulk of violence, gun violence included, is perpetrated by the male gender.

That’s true.  Most violence comes from men.  I put it down to the sexual competition between males.  That’s why they are slightly larger.

Do you mean a Y chromosome? XX, XY? I see your point: gun violence is almost exclusively male.

Robert,

That was some interesting reading in the database.

One thing I note from the database is that only 17 shootings were motivated by “race,” even though 1966-1979 were some the more racially tense and violent times of the years in the database.

Only 113 were “Domestic with Targeted Victim” even with sexist/chauvinist attitudes prevalent…[Read more]

To the best of my knowledge, information and memory i asked the following:

Are there any countries with widespread gun ownership and relatively low rates of school shootings?

It is hard to understand how Israeli citizens are so underarmed? Underarmed? Is that even a word? And after the latest incursion, bloodlust, sexual and mental depravity of…[Read more]

Robert and Jake,

All right, Robert, I at least see where you got the figure of 6.3 shotings a week, though the shootings are most likely not spread out and multiple shootings take place in one incident.

Jake’s AI, however, rightly points out that gun availability and gun prohibition are not the only factor in school shootings.

So, should both…[Read more]

Simon,

Do you mean a Y chromosome? XX, XY? I see your point: gun violence is almost exclusively male.

The X Chromosome is shared by both sexes, so Unseen was saying no one should have guns. XY is male.

Simple explanation of a nonsense position, no? Score one for Occam.

Simon,

I don’t buy Occam’s Razor all the time. I think it’s artificial. Something’s the way it is, not necessarily the simplest way.

Of course, something is the the way it is and sometimes it is complicated. All Occam did was pre-date “The Raven” and quoth: “and nothing more.”

What is explained by positing an alleged everything that ex…[Read more]

Strega and Unseen,

No hacking was involved here. Unseen just demonstrated the GIGO principle of computer programming: Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Look, all problems created by homo sapiens could be solved by removing our X Chromosomes from the picture. But the only ones supporting that are the VHEMT.…[Read more]

Some countries with widespread gun ownership and relatively low rates of school shootings include:
Switzerland: Switzerland has a high rate of gun ownership, largely due to its tradition of a citizen militia. However, it has significantly lower rates of gun violence compared to the US, particularly in schools. Factors that contribute to this…[Read more]

K-12 School Shooting Database – online

Includes gang shootings, domestic violence, shootings at sports games and afterhours school events, suicides, fights that escalate into shootings, and accidents.
