Here's the post which you are attempting to quote.
And how many people are intentionally killed with cars?
"Are DUI, speeding, reckless driving, texting while driving, using a cell phone while driving - in other words the causes of most accidents - not intentional acts?
The driver made a choice to put their own and other people's well being at risk. That is intentional. Of course I understand that such a driver is not choosing the specific person they will harm or kill, so instead of murder one they should get manslaughter, but the majority of car accidents are caused by the decisions and actions of drivers.
I suppose you could actually argue that cars don't kill, drivers do..."

WHAT? NO, IT ISN'T!!!!
Are you crazy?
Dude I did a search of my old posts for "texting while driving" and copied and pasted it.
That's it word for word the exact post from Feb 2013.

Is the security on the sets, or is it personal body guards following them around at the grocery store? HUGE difference.

bring the Beanie lover, West with ya.
As someone who knows someone who might be Hispanic, I find that racially insensitive.

Would you agree there's a difference between a "similarity", and "just like" ?
Can you at least see that?

If you want to quibble, fine. And it's not just a similarity, it's "most like than any other country".
Remember, this was about travel advisories regarding safety, not culture.

yup. I did.
edit(s0 I don't bump this thread). yup. you did hedge. what if you took the gun stat numbers, removed handguns from the US to match Canada, then gun numbers are even (we have 1/3 the # of guns per capita as you - but all long guns) For the number of long guns you have, 4% of crime is done with that. Almost all of our gun crime is done with long guns. Which means that if the US just gave up handguns they would have a better gun death rate than canada, no?

Would you feel safer walking down the streets of San Bernardino? Or Vancouver?

Washington D.C., or Ottowa? Which is safer at night? Apples-to-apples, as both are national capitols.
America's just more violent. Any way you want to measure it. And we should be. It's in our genetics.
