Australia to Ban Engineered Stone

Yeah, but I don’t claim murder risk is overblown and run around badlands like I’m invincible.

Murder risk is negligible though. Especially if you aren’t directly involved in crime.

Murder risk is negligible because we do things about it.

My house has never burned down, therefor firemen, smoke alarms, and extinguishers are a scam. Got it.

No, murder risk is negligible not because you avoid going out, but because of law.

You conflated the two.

Is it because of law?

Making harsher laws doesn’t seem to reduce the murder rate. Having a death penalty doesn’t seem to stop the murders.

What are you talking about? Where is murder legal so you can compare the rates?

I did? Where did I say anything about not going out?
