Why do hunters/shooters use Switzerland as a model of gun ownership? 300 deaths a year?

April 222010


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Switzerland

It is claimed that approximately 300 deaths per year involve the use of Swiss army guns, mostly suicides and family murders.[7] As a result of this and similar media reports, gun control advocates are trying to halt the practice of military weapons issuance and storage in the private homes of Swiss Army members. Gun supporters question the statistics and the practice has become a political issue. As of October 2007, the issuing of personal ammunition after boot camp has been discontinued and a majority of the already issued packs will be withdrawn within 2008.[8]

And don’t bother saying this is in the wrong place. This is what YA! said:

Based on your question, we think it belongs in one of these categories:

Suggested Category Browse Categories Suggested Category Sports > Outdoor Recreation > Hunting
Sports > Outdoor Recreation > General – Outdoor Recreation
Games & Recreation > Video & Online Games
Sports > Winter Sports > Curling
Politics & Government > Law Enforcement & Police

Or, select a different category from our complete list.

People that live in that part of the world do have a high suicide rate- but it is because of their lack of general social skills, not because of the Swiss guns. The gun is only a tool used to carry out the event.
Removing the guns or ammunition will only drive the suicidal to a different method. This problem has long been known to be adaptability socially- not weapons.

The objects won’t drag, and the formatting is messed up. Can someone look over my HTML? ?

April 202010

Okay, I have a clas assignment I’ve been working on all semester, and I’m almost done, but then THIS happened. I finished the .htm file, but, the objects, suitcases and… bags, I think, won’t let me drag them. Also, the text is all spaced out and wrong. Can someone look over my code?

I know near to nothing about Javascript but I think you may want to close the frist <style> tag and possibly the

Maybee try validating the code at w3schools

Hope this helps

Guide dog puppie raisers please help me!!!?

April 182010

I’m interested in being a guide dog puppie raiser and i want 2 know some more things…..(ive gone 2 guide dogs.org)……these are some of my questions…What if you have indoor/outdoor dogs…can u still be a trainer….How are ways 2 get excepted into the dog puppie raising….What are some things that they dont like and might not accept you for…….and what do you do if you are not blind but go on a camping trip where you cant bring the puppy your raising….can you bring it when u are training it….do you need promission ……

thankyou 2 every one who answers have a great day bye!!!!!!

Some places may deny you for having an "outside" dog… just depends on the agency you are applying at, and the situation.. they may ask why certain dogs are "outside" dogs.

Do be aware tho, that these puppies can NOT be raised as "outside" dogs.. they need to be inside and house trained and taught basic house manners.

You will have to apply thru the agency to get accepted. They might deny you if your current pets are not current on vet care, or you have had charges of animal abuse/neglect.

They may deny you if they think your lifestyle doesnt call for raising a puppy. I inquired before when my ex hubby was driving truck.. I rode with alot, and thought about raising a pup on the truck.. they do not have a need for that type of lifestyle tho, and they were concerned about having access to a vet at all times.

The pup is not a service dog, and can not go anyplace that a regular dog cant go. If you go camping and cant take a dog with, you will have to find someone to puppy-sit, or have the puppy boarded while you are camping. It is preferred tho that you plan trips that you can take the pup with, so it gets lots of socialization and sensitized to different activities.

Tristan Fowler’s application for Sierra Club’s Outdoor Youth Ambassador

April 162010

Hello Sierra Club! Thank you for watching my video. As you now know, I’m an eagle scout and lifelong outdoorsman; I’m a well-trained and active student leader; and I’m a multimedia and environmental journalist.

But unfortunately there is so much you don’t (and can’t) know about me from my video. I wish I could show you how I play and teach students from young elementary-aged tykes to college-aged peers. I wish I could show you how I love to say ‘yes’ instead of ‘no.’ I wish I could show you my positive encouraging attitude when my friends and I are going through a rough time.

Thank you so much again for offering this amazing internship. This is the kind of adventure I’ve been looking for, and I really hope you give me the chance to inspire another generation and to produce amazing stories of their adventures, along with mine. Thank you again.

P.S. If you would like to see any of my work with my school newspaper, visit this link:

Is this true………………?

April 162010

"For men, what demonstrates a solid relationship is quite different from that of most women. Men feel closer and validated through shared activities. Such activities include sports, competition, outdoor activities or sexual activities that are decidedly active and physical. While both men and women can appreciate and engage in these activities they often have preferential differences. Women, on the other hand, feel closer and validated through communication, dialogue and intimate sharing of experience, emotional content and personal perspectives. Many men tend to find such sharing and involvement uncomfortable, if not, overwhelming."

Source:

http://www.oregoncounseling.org/ArticlesPapers/Documents/DifferencesMenWomen.htm

This is the second one you’ve posted that essentially says women are completely emotional and men just barely tolerate it.

Again, I say BS.

Both long-term boyfriends I’ve had told me something they’d never told anyone else, and many things they’d rarely share with anyone in life, and felt closer to me because of it.

This isn’t just me talking, ask men who are actually involved in close, emotional relationships.

It can be overwhelming and uncomfortable for everyone. Deep emotions make us all very vulnerable, and most people aren’t comfortable with that much vulnerability, it can be scary.

If you believe men and women are this different at the core, it’s no wonder you don’t understand the point of close relationships. Maybe it’s just not your kinda scene ^5

which is more fun?

April 142010

Indoor soccer, outdoor soccer, Sepak Takraw, or futsal.
If you dont know what Sepak Takraw is, here is a link http://www.geocities.co.jp/Colosseum-Acropolis/2678/english/whatsepa.html

if you dont know what futsal is, here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futsal

outdoor soccer is better; although indoor is pretty cool because u can show ur skills bettter than the others

DTV Question?

April 122010

If a tv is connect to a outdoor antenna using twin lead wire connect to a balun, will the converter box still work by connecting the balun to the "Antenna In" port and a coaxial cable from the box to the tv?

Here is a picture of the antenna connection if you don’t know what i’m talking about. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bb/Tvbalun.jpg

Good answers from Jerry and RT. Just make sure that you don’t run the twin-lead up against metal on the way down to the house. Run it through standoffs along the mast.

Twin-lead can have lower transmisison loss than coax, but only if the field isn’t bled off on the way down.
