for the statisticians out there

If, according to a recent thread, an American has a greater chance of being abducted by aliens than a Londoner has of getting shot, what are the chances of an American getting abducted by aliens, dropped off by them in London, and then shot?

About as much chance as your next thread being interesting.

Americans view anyone outside the land of Moms apple Pie & democarcy as an "alien", so statistically, they are correct in that they are more likely to be kidnapped during some ill conceived foreign military excusrion than we are to be shot - after all , American rarely venture outside the US unless they are clad in gulf war sand camo & riding in a humvee these days

No need to twiddle any part of your anatomy Kelstar!

You haven't said anything remotely controversial as we all know civilsation begins and ends around the Outer Borders of South London..
