This is a good opportunity for a quote of the day.
"There are two great mysteries in the world, the German Constitution, and sausages." Von Bismarck, Chancellor of the German Empire.
Blood pudding, AKA Black pudding is a fat sausage made with pigs' blood, fat and rusk. Popular in the UK as a breakfast food, it can be eaten cooked or raw (being a previously cooked item.) In France there is a similar sausage called Boudin, which comes in blanc and noir varieties.
That recipe for Blood pie sounds pretty good!

Wow...that sounds, um...great...
Back to the topic, it's interesting to hear how so much of the world seems to have an interest in American politics and legislation, truly amazing.

In one year (I forget which it was) there were 32,000 gun-related deaths across the USA. The total number of gun related deaths in the same year in the other countries mentioned was about 300.
These figures were actually quoted in a 'West Wing' episode followed by the line "Do you think that Americans are more homicidal by nature? Or is it that those guys have gun control laws?". An old adage comes to mind about true words spoken in jest.
You’re taking statistics from a fictional TV show??? Hmm…no, I can’t even make fun of you…
Secondly, show me proof, any proof at all that the amount of gun crime is directly proportional to gun control laws.

Well, you're kind of a big deal... 
Or our last hope, but there you go.
Meanwhile airports ? ... are your restaurants that dangerous then ? Or is it only really a risk in those "all you can eat" places ?

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

The USA is the world's largest economy, most powerful armed forces, biggest polluter, biggest driver of technology, heaviest weight in foreign and world affairs, controller of the World Bank and so on.
What you guys decide to do over there affects all the rest of us, even if we never visit you.
