Exactly. “Underclass types”? Pathetic. I hate racists who are too pussy to actually admit they’re racists.
Yes. There are 2.07 intentional homocides per 100,000 in the UK with a population of 60,943,912
There are 5.7 intentional homocides per 100,000 in the US with a population of 303,824,640
I’m too lazy to do the math, but the intentional homocide rate, method not withstanding, has to be higher in the US, what with the extra 242,880,728 people running around.
A cite for what?
Well, I have actually been banned from the messageboard you mention for not being sufficiently anti-vax, but that is not what I am talking about. What I was talking about is not parents who are anti-vax on principle, but those who just don’t bother to get their kids vaccinated until it is time for school and they have to. In one of the cites to which I linked, it mentions that rates of non-vaccinated children reach 90% in some inner city areas. I rather doubt that this is mostly middle class anti-vax twatbrains.

No. Britain has a significantly lower murder rate.
However, the numbers are closer than they appear. Some of the difference is accounted for in the fact that our murderers shoot each other, which is much more effective than stabbing/defenestrating/dropping in vats of acid/arsenic poisoning, etc.

I have no idea what you mean by “suggesting South Africa.”
I am using it as a rough proxy for the size of our underclass.
I have no idea what you mean by “put the boot in.” I do believe that there is a relationship between race and the underclass in the United States and I have made no secret of that belief.
Thank you.
Do you have a cite for that?
“Racist” and/or “bigot” is a far shorter way of expressing said sentiment.

Really? As an adult male member of the poor with no kids I’d love to know how to make use of this. While I finish college.
Could you give me some literature, maybe a link, about signing up? I live in Michigan if it makes any difference.
I understand you wouldn’t post any claims that weren’t true and eagerly await your reply.
Right here:
Yes, this is true.
Further, if you make over a certain generous amount per year, you get a tax break for having private health care.
From your link as a childless able bodied but economically disadvantaged (who in Michigan isn’t these days?) adult I’d qualify for:
Adult Benefits Waiver (ABW), a.k.a., Adult Medical Program (AMP)
In other words anything that required a stay in the hospital isn’t covered, nor would many surgeries, and possibly anything that required a trip to the ER such as a broken leg. I don’t really know the exact medical definitions of inpatient. I believe it’s anything done at a hospital.
That’s assuming they’d even give me autherization. My county is fairly hard hit and as a result has gotten pretty tight fisted when people it need help the most. 
If I go knock someone up my coverage could change. There’s a pick up line for you. “how about you, me, behind that dumpster? I need healthcare coverage yo. No condoms! you don’t have herpes right?”
I thank you for this link because it’s better then nothing but shouldn’t realistic healthcare coverage include ruptured appendixes and broken legs?
We cover this in just about every GC thread. Here’s one:
I don’t see where in that cite it shows that attacks with firearms are more lethal than, for example, attacks with knives.
You suggested that it was reasonable to compare the U.S.A. to South Africa for this issue.
Sorry, I thought you wanted a cite for the US gun homicide rate being higher than other countries’.
Really, though… you want a cite for the proposition that guns are more lethal than knives? Ask yourself this: when you become Supreme Dictator, do you expect your army to spend more time training with its guns, or with knives?
No, I wanted a cite for the claim you actually made.
Anyway, you are basically arguing – as far as I can tell – that the discrepancy between murder rates between the US and the UK can be explained (in part) by the liberal gun laws we have in the US. However, this argument can be easily dispatched by looking at different states within the United States.
Not much less reasonable than comparing the USA to Canada.
It’s a lot more reasonable to compare the US to Canada than to compare the US to South Africa. The US and Canada are both first world countries with similar high standards of living and relatively similar income distributions. South Africa is a third world country with endemic poverty and vastly more income inequality.
