#3 "limiting the sale of knives would at least reduce the problem"

They'll just start pushing people out of windows then.

#5 Scotland the most violent country in the developed world

not sure what the most violent country is in the undeveloped world, but I know it's run by muslims.

#6 Good catch, PD... The distinction that makes all the difference.

Now where are innocents dying in droves? PD nails it, again: wherever civilization rubs up against Islam.

#7 This is a shock? You have to be tough to wear a kilt.

Yeah, but what about pointy sticks ... or fresh fruit.

#9 Ban knives and they will start using pipes. Ban pipes and they will use bricks. Ban bricks and they they will use rocks and then everyone there will be without sewage and houses.

#10 "limiting the sale of knives would at least reduce the problem"

As Archie Bunker said about gun control: "Would you feel better if they were pushed down the stairs?"

#11 The last time I wore my kilt someone asked me if those were my legs or was I riding a chicken.

#13 Speaking of Scottish dirks and kilts:

A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share
He staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet
Then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by,
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
You see yon sleeping Scotsman who is young and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.

They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Then lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
There was nothing there but what God gave upon his birth

They marveled for a moment then one said we'd best be gone
But let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
They took a blue silk ribbon and they tied it in a bow
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward a tree
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize"

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize"

#14 Me bullshit detector's a wee bit engaged, lads. New Zealand has more sexual assaults than South Africa, one-third of whose adult female population has been raped? I think not. This study sounds like another example of "fake, but accurate." Make that inaccurate, too.
