So incredibly sad.  When are we going to do something about assault rifles in America?

the slaughter of children in Connecticut didn't stop it neither will this latest massacre. Appalling.

I'm starting to believe that even if this happened every single fucking day, nothing would happen. It's just that people kill people, can't do anything about that!

Well, depending on how you define a mass shooting, it's happened about every two days so far this year.  If we include suicides and non-mass shooting homicides, the average is more like several per day.

It may be.  But it really is super not important here…..

It was culturally flattering stats for Japan anyway… It's hard to keep academics out of social chit chat for me G. Must have been Chris's statistics that got me going in full throttle academic mode. Sorry for spamming with statistics. Will try to go polish some jade or ride a bike or something

''I only believe in statistics that I doctored myself''

The most important thing about statistics it seems, is not becoming one. Unfortunately that is much easier said than done these days.  Glad my son is still too young to have to explain all this madness to him. I'm not wise enough to know how I fear.

Was in a automobile accident today. A car went through a red light and hit the car with Me Twin and 90 year old friend in the car.

[Fadez]

Get well soon twin! Hope everyone is okay

[ROman]

I hope ya'll are OK @twin

[Giles]

Damn, Richard.  Are you all OK?

[twin]

All three of us are ok. No one hurt car a total loss.

[Graeme]

Glad you and the others are OK @twin.

Cars can be replaced, and when it's the other guy's fault, it should be on his insurance.

[Giles]

Damn…..Bobby's?

[twin]

Yes it was Bobby's car. The red one.
