The result is a very low level of gun ownership - 0.6 guns per 100 people in 2007, according to the Small Arms Survey, compared to 6.2 in England and Wales and 88.8 in the US.
6.2/100 in England and Wales So in every Tesco 6 people own pistols i ain't having that |

Ownership of 6.2 in every 100 residents is plain nonsense.
We have 1.3 million legal shotguns in the UK but ownership is very concentrated so the estimated number of guns per capita (all firearms) in the UK is 6.6 (according to Wiki) but ownership as a % of population is vastly smaller than that. USA has 112.6 guns per 100 residents and Tunisia 0.1. |

I used to aim for 100 hrs overtime a month also.
that was the benchmark because being paid overtime at time and a half that was 150 hrs and that doubled your pay for that month |

By:
different countries use different data for firearms statistics.
it depends how they are collected and you cannot compare one country to another |
|
By:
in America eg the statistics include suicide which account for over 60% of deaths
also it includes guns used in self defence other countries use different data |

mostly farmers and other country types with shotguns but that leaves the rest of us unable to defend ourselves effectively #trumpgunwetdream |

probably hardly any genuine cases of this oh and indiscriminately shooting black people and other minorities doesn't count |

"I used to aim for 100 hrs overtime a month also.

I reckon 1 hour in some would easily be as demanding as 7 in another. I've always though being a train or tube driver is about the cushiest job possible. Very well paid for it's level of difficulty to boot. If you are a doctor or a nurse I imagine it's hugely stressful and demanding. Long hours and on the go mentally almost constantly. |

GP's seem to have cushy numbers now
Any time i have been they just tap a few buttons on a computer ( maybe google ) and just say yeha try this or that and come back in 4 weeks if it ain't worked  Well i was only after a sick line so that will do just fine  |

the best paid jobs are often the easiest.

and many very well paid jobs are little more than semi - skilled

By:
if a job is demanding, and you are getting well paid it is easier, not harder to do long hours.

It is important for young people to work and work long hours if possible is better still.
especially young men. keeps them out of trouble and it is also better if they nearly all leave school early and start work at 16 or 17. that us when they start to become human and this only happens at work, preferably in an industry with lots of other people, different ages |
|
By:
it is wonderful to work very long hours when you are young, to have to start work very early and sometimes finish late.
but also to get the rewards for working late, a bonus of an hour or two extra and told to slip away early and out on a Friday night. that's how it works, wonderful. |

a person who does not face stress will not survive when he encounters it
consider what happens to a persons strength after he spends a year in bed it is also good to be exposed to extreme cold sometimes, without a coat |

So what planet do you live on ???
humourless victorian attitudes do not reasonate well in 2017 back down the pit please |
|
By:
humourless dismissive attitudes towards the Victorians do not resonate well, imo
anyone funny by nature needs to pay special careful attention that sort of humour rarely looks good you should try to avoid this habit imo |
