They do have slightly more unification than radical Islamic groups. Not many
white supremacist groups view other groups as black people.

Three children -- ages 4,7, and 13 -- are known to have died in lawn
dart-related incidents.

In the U.S. for 2001, there were 29,573 deaths from firearms, distributed as
follows by mode of death: Suicide 16,869; Homicide 11,348; Accident 802;
Legal Intervention 323; Undetermined 231.(CDC, 2004) This makes firearms
injuries one of the top ten causes of death in the U.S. The number of
firearms-related injuries in the U.S., both fatal and non-fatal, increased
through 1993, but has since declined steadily.(CDC, 2001) However, firearms
injuries remain a leading cause of death in the U.S., particularly among
youth (CDC, 2004).

Every year there are 2,400 pool-related drownings from various causes among
kids aged 1 to 14.

Yep, lawn darts are a menace.

The Vincennes transmitted that warning on a military frequency which airliners don't
have the receivers for. Why they didn't broadcast it on a civilian frequency ? They
thought it was an F-14 !

The fact is that they didn't even know it was an airliner despite having the most
up-to-date radars etc.!

Bloody idiotic Yank sailors.

Really? Who gets to say who the bully is?
