Jim in Anchorage

No because I have been in those places. I do not think all NYC residents are muggers, nor do I think all SF residents are flaming gays. In contrast to you,and that debby freak who have never been to Alaska, and like to assume all Alaskans are blubber chewing wild men living in darkness, I do not beat up on people for where they live.

You have remarkable Patience in dealing with the idiots. Lost cause though. Next he will be weighing in with something he saw on "ice road truckers" presuming that's a everyday commute to work in Anchorage.

The way they are playing barely justifies checking the box score in the paper.

Beef?

"But America does struggle when compared to other nations in Western civilization when it comes to primary and secondary education, literacy, obesity, general health, life expectancy, the strength of our currency, unemployment." It is remarkable that such a group of uneducated, illiterate,sickly fatso's with no job but wheel barrows of useless US dollars Have managed to become the worlds greatest economy. Why do you leftists so dislike America?

Cuba has a HUGE problem with American boat people.

Bravo.

What could be more "settled down" than Lancaster? I love living in places were EVERYONE is 5th generation. You might what to try Chick-ta-waga also.

And to think I almost missed this exchange. " love to take a drink into the shower, although I haven't done it lately." shower, or take in a drink? This this great stuff.

Well shoot. It went from 5-1 to 6-1 in just two days. Couple of gals must have moved out. I find the absolute lack of knowledge about Alaska of some posters here astounding. If you can screw up such basic facts about a state why would anyone care about your opinion on anything? By the way I live here because it's not Lancaster. Now go shovel some snow. Or wait a week till its 95 and 100% humidity.

When I first read this I thought how many times has this guy been divorced? Then I thought of the SB dates. Or was I right the first time?

We are. Yes they are.

Since you put anyone who disagrees with you,or wonders how you get your swollen head though a door,in that category yes I do.

Case closed.

Pompous gasbag comes to mind.

You what to look for more current numbers then the 1890 censuses you are apparently looking at.

Because the state stats mean nothing to Anchorage its self. They are inflated by crime in the rural,roadless villages that are 99% alcohol related. Besides in a state with a population of 600,000,it does not take much to bump the"per 100,000" figure. Anchorage is quite safe,I assure you.

Quoting Chis Rock in a gun debate? Should we not have Madonna weigh in?

Brillant dissertation.

The problem with that logic is that it doesn't account for the MILLIONS of occasions where the bad guy simply ran off when confronted by a gun,with no shots fired.

What is a federal ID?

Easy in Alaska. Buy a gun and put it in your pocket. No CC permit required. I think the fact the bad guys just don't know who is carrying is a major deterrent.

"Personally, I think people who have guns, would be more inclined to use it as opposed to non gun owners." I think that is a given. Hard to use something you don't have. I don't carry in public but at home? My first response will not b to call 911,I assure you.

Because it is a meaningless emotional fluff phrase,used by anti gunners for 40 years to mask a lack of hard facts and figures.

Just by using the "wild west" phrase you lost any credibility you may have had on the subject.
