Not only not reasonable, but not honest.

I think it's hilarious that you don't think the CDC has an agenda.

I'm not much into conspiracy theories, MM.

My personal evaluation of your post. Give me the data about these "over 100 per day."

Let me guess, one of your most frequently repeated phrases is "Would you like fries with that?"

I happen to work a high-skill job, my boss appreciates my work, and I'm well compensated.

So you’ve graduated to Mc Middle-management, congratulations. Tell your staff NOT to say “would you like fries with that?" when the customer simply buys a bottle of water...as happened to me once.

In America a lot of tap-water is contaminated with lead or chemicals from fracking, because the right-wing crazies are anti-regulation.

This was at an airport in Thailand; in any case tap water is not recommend in Thailand. The point however is that one does not normally "want french fries with that".

Another day another Starlight fable. What actually causes high lead levels in water is lead pipes or lead solder, not industrial waste from any source. Well, so much for this Starlight fable... I wonder what tomorrow’s made up story will be in his ‘I HATE AMERICAN CHRISTIANS!!!’ quest.

To clarify my previous post in order to help LPOT with basic reading comprehension:

In America a lot of tap-water is contaminated with lead [from the pipes,] or [with various] chemicals from fracking, because the right-wing crazies are anti-regulation.

You're quite quick to accuse other people of "dishonesty", when there's totally zero indication that they are being dishonest or reason to think they are. I've noticed this tendency on your part and it makes me wonder what it is with you that makes you see it everywhere.

Give me the data about these "over 100 per day."

A quick search of the internet suggests to me that the number of people killed by guns in America is approximately 100 per day depending on exactly what year is checked, so the figure given seems about right.

If you wanted to quibble with it, I would note that the majority of those hundred are suicides, and only about one third of them are homicides. Of course, preventing suicide is a perfectly rational reason to enact some gun control (my country tightened gun control laws to try to reduce the rate of rural suicides), because when it comes to suicide, guns are more lethal than other methods (meaning the victim has a lower chance of failing at the suicide and receiving subsequent psychological help) and also a method that tends to be more spur-of-the-moment (if the gun is on hand then it doesn't take much time or physical motion from the decision to the act, whereas other methods require more time and effort). However, usually the gun control debate in the US does focus on gun homicides, and that number appears to be in the 24-40 per day kind of range.

Another example where Starlight makes up a fable and when corrected on his fable, tries to blame others rather than take responsibility for his mistakes. Sorry moron, but the lead content found in tap water comes from pipes in peoples houses and not from fracking. Do keep trying to cover your fables because I found this within 3 minutes of searching. In other words, unless you can cite a credible source that says lead pipes are used in fracking, you got nothing. Now put up or shut up and produce your source.

I was actually being somewhat conservative. There are several sources for the number. The highest is here. Another is here (and excludes suicides). There are others, but I have a feeling they are all going to be "wrong" for one reason or another, so I think I'll stop at two.

You do have a tendency to question the honesty of people who disagree with you, Jedidiah. It is possible to disagree with you without being a dishonest person.
