Any way to change the UK?

The nine groups in the political typology are defined by their beliefs and values, not by their demographic characteristics. Yet each group has a distinctly different demographic profile, which in some cases bears little resemblance to those of their ideological and political allies. For example, Enterprisers have by far the highest percentage of men of any group (76%), while the other two GOP groups are majority female (62% Pro-Government Conservatives, 58% Social Conservatives). (For more on the demographics of the typology, see pg. 66)

On the other hand, Enterprisers and Liberals * whose political opinions mix no better than oil and water * have a surprising amount of common ground both economically and educationally. These groups are the wealthiest and best educated in the typology. Roughly four-in-ten Enterprisers and Liberals (41% each) have annual household incomes of at least $75,000; only the Upbeats (39%) have about as many people in that income category.

Liberals have the highest education level of any typology group * 49% are college graduates and 26% have some postgraduate education. But the Enterprisers also include a relatively high percentage of college graduates (46%), although fewer Enterprisers than Liberals have attended graduate school (14%).

Pro-Government Conservatives stand out among Republican groups for their modest incomes. About half (49%) have annual household incomes of less than $30,000; just 13% of Enterprisers and 26% of Social Conservatives have incomes in that range. Pro-Government Conservatives' annual household incomes are comparable to those of Disadvantaged Democrats and Bystanders, and much lower than those of other GOP groups.

Huge disparities in education also divide both Democratic and Republican typology groups. Just 13% of Disdvantaged Democrats have completed college (9% college grads, 4% postgraduate), compared with nearly half of Liberals. Educational differences between Liberals and Conservative Democrats are nearly as large (49% vs. 16%).


Among Republicans, just 15% of Pro-Government Conservatives have completed college, compared with 45% of Enterprisers. There also are wide disparities in education among the three independent groups, with Upbeats (37%) far more likely to have completed college than Bystanders (13%) or Disaffecteds (11%).

What does this have to do with the thread?

this fact alone tells us all that most college educations are worthless when this many people who went to college could be that damned stupid.

do you tell your kids not to go to college?

On average a person makes over $2,000,000 more over that career with a degree. LOL

It's my thread, so no, I don't like it hijacked. And while we have slightly under 2x the UKs murder rate, it has nothing to do with guns.

Now back on topic, DO YOU, OR DO YOU NOT, AGREE WITH THE SPENDING OF TAX PAYERS DOLLARS FOR NON CRIMES AND THE ABUSE OF TAX PAYER CIVIL LIBERTIES AND FREEDOMS?
 
I agree is retarded beyond pale to bring it up.
When discussing guns, you might as well talk about jaywalking when discussing car jackings.
The UK is vastly superior to the US/NASCAR dumbasses when it comes to guns and society.

THIS is retarded. The simple notion that a country is vastly superior to another because they imprison their subjects for defending themselves instead of reyling on their babysitter police forces.

This "study" is flawed. Where are the anti-government conservatives?

Last week a friend of mine was at home, alone, when someone approached her house, sneaked around to the back door with his "hoodie" up around his face. Fortunately she saw him, ran and got her gun, and told him as he grabbed the door handle, that she had a gun, it was loaded, and she would shoot him if he proceeded further into her house. Hearing this and seeing the gun, he left and she called the police. She's still pretty shaken up by this, as I would be.

It isn't enough to say you have a gun. I have dogs that raise holy hell when someone comes to the door, but a determined individual might be prepared to deal with them, which would break my heart. I also have a couple of guns that would, albeit reluctantly, be marshalled to do their job should the need arise.

The latest intentional murder rates for the UK and the US are 2.03 and 5.8 per 100,000 population respectively which gives a figure of slightly under three times as high.

Last statistics I saw (from Interpol) had the U.S. at 4.35. But that was for 05 or 06, so I could be wrong.

Upon examining your source, there is a lot of missing data, and possibly inconsistent data pools (so many sources, it seems plausible).
