: Yo Freddy.  I'd like to see you where you get your numbers.

That particular set came out of a program called MapFacts.  Their
numbers come from the US government and the UN.  It's at home, so I
can't give you the exact numbers right this moment, but rest assured
I'll be happy to mail you the murder rates for 300 or so countries
when I get home.

: This is my 2nd request. 

Well, unlike you, some of us are expected to actually *work* when
we're at work and neither of your 'requests' has made it to my home
feed yet (it seems to be running about 5 days behind right now for
some reason -- must be time to send another nasty note to my feed
provider).  You just need to learn to hold your water and not always
demand instant gratification and instant solutions, Timmy.

Of course, if you were mature enough to do that you probably would see
the fallacies you keep posting to this newsgroup and the problem would
solve itself.

: a*s, 

I'll leave that sort of thing to you, Timmy.  Given where you keep
your head, it's no doubt much easier for you to find them than it
would be for me, since they'd be right in front of your nose.

Needless to say, given the skill you've shown to date at that
particular activity, I doubt much of anyone really *care* what you
think. 

: give 'em a little extra spin (in your favor of course)
: and post 'em here.  BS in its purest form.

Not everyone is the kind of liar that you seem to be, Timmy.  You
should keep that in mind.  Just add that to the list of things you
need to address; stop projecting the way YOU act onto everyone else. 

You should also keep in mind that at least *some* people are going to
treat you just like you treat them.  If you don't like it (and your
whining about it indicates that you don't), perhaps you would be well
served to take the lesson to heart and stop insulting everyone else?
