Facebook Crap or Not?






I was making my monthly visit to Facebook to check out who is talking sh@t about who and how many birthdays I had missed of people I truly don't know.

Now, no one wants anyone hurt let alone killed by anything even a gun. So I decided to do a little research. 

What I found was still disturbing but I had to make a comment on the figures a the post. Here is what I wrote:

"One person dying of a gunshot wound is not acceptable. However according to the CDC the figures in this post are misleading. Now, don't get me wrong it is still bad enough but in 2010 31672(10.26% of pop.) died of gunshot wounds.(by the way 436 were in Chicago).Of the 31672 death 30817(9.98) were violence related,meaning criminals. 19392 were suicides(6.28%), 606(0.20%) were unintentional. Now if we really need to pick on gun laws in the world per capita Columbia has a real problem with 51.77% death rate by guns. My gun hasn't killed anyone. They run away!!"

Just for the record I got the information from the following web address Center for Disease Control.

So  I went to Nation Master.Com a website that was created by Rapid Intelligence a company out Australia and found some amazing figures.

Post  Country  Nation Master
48      Japan        47
8         GB           14
34      Swiss        68
52      Canada      144
21      Sweden     58
42      Germany  269
10728 USA        9369

All these figures are bad enough but the point is even with gun control people are going to get killed either way. I still believe that with proper training guns are no more dangerous than an automobile, which was 34498 or 11.5% of the population in the US.

So when you see stats on the Internet remember one thing "The stats are projected for the best outcome to the person wanting to make a point" and hey yes my stats might lean more towards my point as well but if you don't check them out you'll never know.

Thanks

Put Summer away and bring Winter out.

Well, I guess the end of Summer is upon us now.  Got to take down the pool, put away the badminton set, stowaway the croquet set , hide away the habatchi grill, batten down the boat or hatches or whatever it's called. In other words "Put shit away!!" Of course now that we have done all that we have to bring out the "winter shit".  Coats, sweaters,boots,scarves and things.  As a man I just pull them out of the closet and put them on when I need them.  Women on the other hand will make us men take everything to the cleaners.  Hell I just picked them up from the cleaners before I put them away last year.  But that's what women do. The only thing I am worried about is the NFL games and The Redskins. I wash my jersey at the beginning of the season and not until the end will it get washed again. Sounds nasty and can smell nasty but that is what we do!! I am rambling now so I'll be quiet.  Besides I have to take the clothes to the cleaners so I can brin

Who Inspired Me?

  Who Inspired Me? So, if you didn't know by now, I love flight simulation and being able to fly to places I never could or will be able to. I have always had a passion for flying ever since I was small. When I was ten or so I flew to Madrid, Spain then on to Gibraltar. It was awesome! Ever since then I have had the bug. Later in my late twenties I was fortunate enough to be able to fly a small Cessna 172 with a friend of mine. My bride to be and I flew to Greenville, NC with my friend Gene Olinger, who by the way was a flight instructor, to see my daughter who was staying with her mother. I got to fly most of the trip, it was amazing. Life sometimes throws us a curve ball and my good, dear, friend Gene passed away with leukemia and so ended my flying real plays. I miss him still today.  Many, many years later I went to a Rent-A-Center and saw something called a computer! After playing with it for a while I found out how to install games and found Microsoft Flight Simulator.  Thank

Gotta Love the Grand Kids.

It was a bright and sunny day in Virginia this past Saturday. A great day for a pool party. It was my grand daughters nineth birthday so what better time than to clean out the pool, spray on suntan oil and party with family and friends. She had her closest friends there and of course us darn adults. Hey, some had to cook the hot dogs and hamburgers. I have added a slide show so enjoy.
