well I'm not actually a bipolar bogan who's highest qualification is a pass in a short TAFE course who still lives at home with his parents for free shelter and food well into adulthood
I'm a highly educated person who's travelled much more extensively and has much more life experience than Tim who you seem to be getting me mixed up with when you use the term "bogan"

I agree
I think bipolar Tim should get a gun
When it comes to violence, nearly every figure suggests that increased presence of guns correlates with higher levels of injury and death. Homicide rates among the US population between 15 and 24 years of age are 14 times higher than those in most other industrialized nations. Children from 5 to 14 years old are 11 times more likely to be killed in an accidental shooting. Within the US, areas with high gun ownership have higher rates of these problems. And, for every accidental death, Hemenway cites research that indicates 10 more incidents are sufficient to send someone to the emergency room. Suicides are more likely to be successful when guns are involved, even though most people who survive such an attempt don't generally try a second time.
Worse still, using a gun in self-defense is extremely rare (most instances involve using a gun to defend against animals): studies place defensive gun use at about one percent in home invasions and 0.1 percent in sexual assaults. Moreover, police reports suggest a lot of these uses involved inappropriate use of the gun.
Summing matters up, Hemenway notes that a number of surveys have found that a gun kept at home is far more likely to be used in violence, an accident, or a suicide attempt than self defense. (He also goes off on a long diversion about how a poorly trained gun owner is unlikely to use one well even when self defense is involved.) As a result, from a public health perspective, there's little doubt that a gun at home is generally a negative risk factor.
And, from the author's perspective, that's probably inevitable. "Regular citizens with guns, who are sometimes tired, angry, drunk, or afraid, and who are not trained in dispute resolution, have lots of opportunities for inappropriate gun use," he wrote. "People engage in innumerable annoying and somewhat hostile interactions with each other in the course of a lifetime." In contrast, the opportunities to use guns in a context where the user isn't any of the above are probably always going to be rare.Last edited by Lisa Claus; 02-04-2013 at 12:02 AM.

nope
that's just not even a close let alone accurate description of me or how I live
sounding like a "westie"? LOL no such thing in Australia
I have the exact same accent as Tim and I've travelled right around Australia unlike Tim who has only ever lived in a room in his parent's house, never had a job and has frankly no education that is world class and recognised as such

well Sid
my degrees are
the universities I went to have both been university of the year the year I got in... because I was able to get into any damn university I pleased and so wanted the best ones that offered the subjects I wanted to do
and I studied with people who came from all around the world just to study the degrees I was doing because fact is many univerity degrees overseas and even from some univresities in Australia are NOT recognised world wide
Mine are.
I saw the schools you went to, Flag posted them remember
I doubt very much you can say the same of your qualifications
that is why many foreigners when they come to another country... even if they were qualified doctors in their own shitty country end up driving cabs because their qualifications are not internationally recognised
Mine are though
And as far as my teaching qualifications, mine are high for even Australia and Australian teachers are very much sought after all around the world... why? Because our training and degrees are much more intense than in most countries, a lot more so than in America for example. I actually studied with Americans who had come all the way to Australia to do their study and training for just that very reason.Last edited by Lisa Claus; 02-04-2013 at 12:41 AM.

so you've never been out of your country and you believe you're somehow well-travelled. okay...
and somehow this is an insult to barryshithead who's some 20 year old kid who you think has never gone anywhere
the place i finished my degree was a top level school but i did go to several others
also i took speficic courses for certain things at community colleges
idk, i guess that makes you better than me since you took 2 months of psychology at university of melbourne (literally the only good school i can think of in australia)
