He gave you firearms-related murders and accidental deaths, not "all firearm deaths." I guess those numbers looked a lot better than using the CDC figure of 48,830 people who died from gun-related injuries in 2021. and Interesting how when discussing gun control, the numbers seem a lot hi...

That of course is the inevitability though, isn't it? I see it here in Honduras all the time. Of course. Watch what happens if Honduras decides to default on its international debt? Or say the new Chinese-financed railroad between the Atlantic and Pacific that is proposed for Honduras: https://www....

Prior to the age of Nation States, most of the world was governed by empires that crossed national boundaries. The Roman Empire during the time of Christ was an obvious example but there were empires before that: The Hittites, Persians, Egyptians, Babylonians. They all followed the same basic patter...

I don't think supranational bodies should be dictating to constituent countries what goes on within their borders, That of course is the inevitability though, isn't it?

Learning to ride a bike? Learning to drive? Learning to drive a tractor? Hiking along a waterfall trail?...

I think if you would read Josh's comments in this thread it's fairly easy to figure out what he meant. The ICC is an international criminal court for war criminals not a local magistrate adjudicating misdemeanor speeding tickets from behind a desk. The equivalent to the ICC would be the Nuremburg T...

Perhaps you can re-read my statement? What did you actually mean by equating the ICC to a local magistrate adjudicating speeding tickets? I think if you would read Josh's comments in this thread it's fairly easy to figure out what he meant. The ICC is an international criminal court for war crimina...

I would respect the ICC’s judgments just like I respect the judgments of my local judge who has adjudicated some of my neighbours as being speeders, thieves, drunk drivers and so on. Here is the complete list of all 54 people indicted by the ICC since 2005. Perhaps you can tell us which ones were i...
