USA...Guns and burglars.
This made me laugh for reasons I do not understand... If I burglar is discovered in an American home and the house holder diggs out his prized gun the result is as follows. 2% of the time the burglar gets shot. 98% of the time a member of the family is accidentally shot or the gun is obtained by the robber and the householder gets shot. only in America, lol.

http://www.armed-citizens.com/news/a...es&newsid=1009 This paragraph makes me laugh The blame-America-firsters such as stupid white man Michael Moore try to depict the United States as a hotbed of murder and violence, but this time they're even wronger* than usual. (*what the bloody hell is wronger? is that like worser? lol) Read...just because things are crap in Sweden and SA then its all good for us Yanks! I read the Micheal Moore book and there was nothing in it that had not been extensivly reported in the British press, also I though the book very "dumbed down" in a tabloid press sort of way, for an un-educated reader. Thank god I live in the UK and my ancestors didn't jump ship 200 years ago. Another thing I read last week that made me grin was the biggest cuurrent cause of rain forest depleation is?????? Oh yes.....soya growing to feed the ever growing ranks of vegetarians, LMFAO. XxX |

As regards Zambia do check out the following link as well http://www.undp.org/hdr2003/indicator/cty_f_ZMB.html Average life expectancy according to the UN down to 33.4 years, make it past that figure and you have lived longer than most Zambians born now can expect to live. Ludicrous in this day and age. Andrew |
