@2 no one ever said all gun crimes cease with restrictive laws, just that they can be decreased. Notice how in Australia this was a really, really, really big deal. They shut down Sydney over it.
In the US we had a man shoot 6 people and is still on the run, and it barely made the news. Shootings in the US are so commonplace that we assume it as a natural part of life. It's not.
Interesting mis-direction, "Why the dramatic price cut? Falling demand for oil due to economic slowdowns in Europe and Asia, the increase in fuel-efficient vehicles, and increased domestic oil production are some of the factors." By including, "increase in fuel-efficient vehicles" in the middle of that common separated series, it implies that the increase in fuel efficient vehicles is a significant factor. By comparison to the other factors in that series, its statistically minor. Kind of like saying the federal budget doesn't balance because there is waste at the EPA or the Defense Department. When 2/3 of the outlays of the Feds are for Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, interest, and federal civilian and non-civilian retirement benefits, you could wipe out DoD or EPA tomorrow and only make a tiny dent in the deficit.
@6: brilliant. Conflate the EPA budget ($8b) with the DoD budget ($490b). Is that the best you can do? The deficit for 2014 is $485b, so you were basically completely wrong.

Pope Francis aside, this has been a horrible year for monotheism.

Take your fallacious logic and GTFO.

Sayonara- won't miss you. Next time listen to the voters instead of the people who fund your campaigns.
Can we give Sgt_doom an avatar so it's easier for me to avoid his posts?
but we won't do that because the MIC owns the place.
