Makes me laugh( not in a funny way) how Australians all buy fire insurance for their homes yet they are drastically more likely to be raped, murdered, assaulted, home invaded than have their home burn down.

They value their property over the lives of themselves and their loved ones by not allowing concealed carry as a form of life insurance.

So, if your not insured and get unlucky, your sleeping on the foot path. There goes 30 years of your working life.

It did in a little place called Port Arthur and we all got fingered for it. I believe we should of went the Texas route to tackle the problem so that it never happens again where people are left defenceless.

I'll do the work for you, since you seem unable.

NSW alone about 4500 house fires each year.

https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/page.php?id=9216

Now, show us how many rapes that result in a death due to HIV in NSW. And let's make it from a site with at least some credibility.

:D

I already know what the stat's will say.

BUT you made the statement so it's up to you to come up with the goods mate. Already done half your job. Or is my bulls**t meter correct.

Next time get your brain in gear (if you have one) before your mouth. Then you don't need lame excuses.

I think you should come and visit CZ. It's not "so bad". Most of the USA is statistically some of the safest in the world.

I told this story before but the company I used to work for in the 2000s used to hire Australian and Kiwi uni students to work the ski season. They would turn up in the USA expecting shootouts all over the place because their brains had been fried from watching too many Tv shows and movies. They found actually the USA is pretty chill and crime and violence is rare is most of the USA.

Now there are certainly some Democrat run hellhole cities that as a tourist I would recommend you take a pass on. But in our 50 states and 350 million, there is much to see and explore.

what did your last slave die of? since when is anyone on here your bitch? why would I owe you anything much less to do research for you? are you sending me a wage I am unaware of or something?

nevertheless, all your continued vitriol is still just you trying to avoid what you clearly cant deal with. cheers.

Sooo,,, the facade continues. Unable to understand your own failure to admit you are in error. Unable to cough up you "facts". All talk, mostly based on bull s**t. Just like some Asians you refuse to lose face. One day you will mature. So I guess there is hope.

given this is a direct stab at me I will speak up Rich, I have walked streets armed with literally nothing that I can guarantee you wouldn't even visit with a security escort, I don't need anything but my own stomach to feel safe. But you and OB both act as if I, like you all, am speaking from some self oriented point of view, I am not. So mate keep ya nonsense to yourself.
