I don't like to be pedantic either but just for clarity I selected 2017, being last year. 2016 was a worse year in the United States than 2017 as well. 2017 with only 346 mass shootings was unusually quiet.

Are those things no more... "noticable"?

Probably best I don't say what I think about this. Suffice it to say that the Israelis are very wicked people. They defend themselves when they are attacked.

But the die hard anti smoking do gooders should also show some respect back, but they won't.

Sick of people with a stick up their asses ruining others fun because they don't agree with it,

BTW, Ive has about 20 today even during 9 holes of golf, my lung feels great

But by this same logic I am not permitted to want to ban morris dancing

Now that the good weather has arrived they are out again...the bastards.

Attacked ? By women and children ? There were babies among the wounded.

Israel's Gaza response 'wholly disproportionate' - UN rights chief
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-44167900

The Israeli's do tend to reply in force when provoked even slightly, I often wonder whether the arabs deliberately provoke them to ensure a response.

The unholy land is a truly God forsaken part of the world right now.

I cannot say I have any sympathy for either side as whenever there is any slight hope of a breakthrough someone will deliberately fuck it up, to answer xyz's query as to why it hasn't been mentioned, in my case I couldn't give a rat's arse either way, a pox on both their houses.

I agree, you can't win whatever you say.

I don't want to trivialize it at all but you have the same blind belief as say

Man Utd fans vs Liverpool fans vs couldn't give a stuff?

That nasty little facist Nasser who had dreams of being Fuhrer of a pan Arab state told his fellow Ba'aath leaders in other countries to keep the Palestinian refugees in Camps and not let them integrate into society so that they would keep on having a grudge against the Israelis.

It's not something I take sides on, the Israelis are no saints but their neighbours are not exactly decent folk. Mind you when the sponsors of terrorism in the area not only talk to God but think he tells them what to do in his replies trouble is never going to be far away.

Oh and Mal, they have no objection to setting up their baseplates and rocket rails in schools, hospitals and mosques so I don't think they'll be bothered much in pushing their women and kids in the firing line.

Fair enough, but what you said was: "In the USA: 346 mass shootings in 2017" without being specific.
