we all know telan stands for killing of the free people. hence, i am neither suprised nor amazed. the idea of one country being more violent then another is plain stereotypical. and since the scots never bothered me i wouldnt really care if they carry knives or bullets.

Any spare change?
Indeed, there shouldn't be any fucking need to defend myself.
Although, thanks to those ignorant, insecure and generally stupid folk that carry knives, I have to live in a world where that isn't possible.

This is actually bloody suprising to me.
Mostly because I live there.
Funny how they don't mention WHO does the crime.

Both Australia and New Zealand had the next highest proportion of assaults among their population at 2.4%, exactly double the level reported for the United States.
Whoopdy whoop!
Go the convict nations!

Sol Marzullo:What, you mean you expect them to list every person who commits a crime in Scotland? That'd be really hard and probably pointless for the reason of this survey.

I am not for killing free people - I am for survival of the fittest. When I hear about a man in Scotland - a Scottsman - being assault by a knife and running to the police I ask myself why he was himself not carrying a knife.
No advancements were ever made during peace. Peace is for the lazy, ignorant, simple minded, and those without the vision to Seize the Day.
I can say this with all resolve - I am returning to the military. (((separate thread to come)))

When I hear about a man in Scotland - a Scottsman - being assault by a knife and running to the police I ask myself why he was himself not carrying a knife.Er...? Because killing someone with a knife is this silly thing called "murder?"

I am not saying that murder is not murder and assault is not assault - I am saying that he should have had one himself. That is the prime reason for carrying a pistol - when I am off-duty, I have on in my holster. Why - so if see the commission of a crime, I can immediately react rather than remain somehwat helpless. It is for self defense or the defense of others.
My point is that the man who was assault - he is a man, after all - should have fought back. Or at least been otherwise prepared.
My stance on murder - if it is over a matter of honour and both sides are equally armed - it is not murder, it is a duel.
Assault - the unwarranted attacking of an unarmed or underarmed party. If a man challanges another to a knife fight and brings a gun - it is assault. If a man stabbs/attacks a man without a weapon at all, he is cowardly and that is definitely assault.
The Scots - including the women for they are a hearty lot - are a resilient people who would never have ended their own oppression were it not for the sword. So shall they revolt so shall they live. A warrior people need not be pacified - a shame on the penning of this article and the being that wrote it. A shame or the pox of humanity for trying to stifle the ways of proud peoples the world over - Australians, new Zealanders, Germans, Aboriginies....etal

Honor is a pathetic word that gives people an excuse to put away their morals and stop thinking about right and wrong. As is pride.
They are useless.
They are useless.
