*sigh* I _still_ find your entry on "Improving Your Life" to be highly offensive. Yes, you've added a "disclaimer" and yes, you've added some "euphemistic" language, but the content still remains the same. The point of the entry seems to be "Gee, isn't funny to kill people or beat the crap out of them if they piss you off?" Frankly, I'm rather unsure exactly which part of all that is supposed to be amusing. And as someone who has both been assaulted and had to wrestle a gun away from a would-be school shooter, I find all of it offensive. And I don't think this is just me -- I've asked quite a few people, and none of them found the entry amusing, and the majority found it highly offensive.
It's also worth pointing out that (contrary to your entry) while it is legal to buy guns in the US (if you have a gun license, that is), it is *not* legal to use them on whomever happens to piss you off.
And quite frankly, I find the fact that you've posted it to Peer Review to be even more offensive than the entry itself. If just left on your personal space, it would be easy enough for everyone to ignore. In Peer Review, however, it's up there for everyone to see as they're looking through the threads for the "cream of the crop". Since you're a scout now, you should be well aware of the criteria for Edited Guide entries, and it should be rather clear that this entry does not in any way, shape, or form meet those criteria.

British humour differs from American humour, so it probably was not appealing to citizens of that country. Guns are bad and in light of your situation, maybee its time the people of the USA realised that guns are bad and that availability should be cut. I've seen many disturbing news reports on the News about school hold ups or 5 years olds killing their friends, so this isn't right. Why should you have to suffer?
