Yeah, I never liked Martin Rees, he's been holed up there and must take responsibility. Far too smooth to be a proper astronomer. No hint of a beard at all.

Reminds of that old saying about a few bad apples spoiling them all. :)

If I was going to eat it, I'd be more inclined to kill it, but if not, I prefer to relocate if possible. Besides, it's a nice ride and we like walking around in the park after the release. The animal gets a nice new home, and we get a nice ride and walk in the woods to enjoy.

The only time we ever had a problem was with a skunk. We left it out, put the cage away, then went for our walk. We walked for about an hour, then went back to the truck and found a surprise. The skunk was sitting beside it waiting on us. Ed said, "Look, he wants us to take him back home." I said, "He is home, and he better get used to it, because he's not going back with us." We spent about a half hour tossing pebbles around him to get him to go away again. Stubborn little bugger. lol

In 1996 there was a terrible shooting at Dunblane Primary School near Stirling, Scotland. 16 children aged between 5 & 6 were killed, as was one teacher.  The murderer committed suicide.  

In 1997 the UK banned the private ownership of all cartridge ammunition handguns of any caliber.  There have been no school shootings in the UK since.

What would you like to talk about next?

You're killers are just quitters!  Jheez, learn how to prepare your insane people Thorp!  I think we talk about this every time one of us Frees goes mad don't we?  I just wish these fuckers would just put a bullet in their head to start things off, they end up doing it anyway. 

I was just thinking we are at the age of technology that a gun and/or ammunition can be smarted up.  Give police weapons that aren't limited as far as rounds fired, and limit a personal carry a clip and once that's used you better start running.  If you can't deter or repulse an assailant with 9-11 tries you either don't know how to handle your weapon, or you've taken on a small army.  That would also allow weapons to be disabled in school zones.

As I typed that out I realized that there are flaws and Americans could never accept that level of FREEDOM being taken away, just like we can't accept CISPA that was just pushed through.  Fuck this place, someone clear off a couch for me!

9-11? I smell a conspiracy here, Mr. Ken.

I'm telling the feds. Or at least, I would, had I their telephone number and/or address details. :C

It's true, we do have a pretty poor standard in psychos.  After Jack the Ripper, we just gave up.

Powerful speech from Obama today trying to do something approaching a gun safety change in the USA. At the same time as freely acknowledging that it would take longer to actually work than he'll be president. I wonder if it'll do anything? Don't agree with lots of things he's done but it seems like he's giving this the best go he's actually allowed to.

obama is a flaccid penis. Where was obama when holder was running Fast and Furious? Hmmmm?

obama is a weathervane, pandering only to the camera. He can't do a damn thing about gun safety, because he's ignored it when it was politically expedient. obama doesn't really give two shits about guns. Not even one shit, but he is a shithead, a horse's arse. Weak, flaccid, ineffective. An empty suit.

Milko, it is of paramount importance that I try to attach the photo I have been wont to have you see for some time now.

Sonofabitch! I guess I will have to upload it to my website and then upload it here.  >.<

Hrm, I will wait and see this picture (imgur.com is an easy way to do it, by the way, even gives you the HTML embed codes) but I can't really see how any of your post is relevant to the one you replied to. Well, most of it is pretty non-sequitur insults anyway - why bother? As I've previously said, I don't agree with a shitload of what he's done already.

The picture popped to mind because I was just in that folder prior to seeing your post.

It is interesting that you folks can post any sort of nonsense you want - jokes, insults - against any of your politicians or even ours, yet if I do the same thing, you all would pile on with name-calling and the like when I do not agree with you.

To use a phrase common to this forum: Acting like that makes you lot a load of cunts, and one-way cunts at that. British haughtiness at it's best, and nothing more elegant than that.

I don't see why you folks love obama. He has been grossly ineffective in many arenas; even your love for obamacare has proven to be a failure, because it was a poorly written political behemoth that really only benefits big pharma and insurance companies. Getting rid of it will save to U.S. about 500 billion dollars.

As far as guns go, obama can't have it both ways. He protected a gun-walking programme - but perhaps you didn't hear about that or didn't care - so what is the difference now that obama, with great fanfare, wants to use his pen to change something that doesn't need to be changed, just properly enforced? But the point is really, you gave up your guns as a country and you want us to as well. Well, we aren't going to do that.

To be fair to you all, I am not sure I have ever heard one positive thing from any of you about any politician in your country, ever. Perhaps you have total mistrust in all politicians and really, really like to criticise all things American. I cannot recall ever hearing anything but criticism for America and Americans, so perhaps since my American heritage overrides the English because I live here, it makes no sense to discuss or post about anything else but the most non-polarising topics. I suspect tea might even be off limits.

again, where is the "you folks love Obama" coming from? I've directly said the opposite several times. If he/the Democrats were somehow transplanted to be a UK political party they would be to the right of our Conservatives, i.e. very much not my thing at all.

As to the jokes - you are to be trying to convince us that for e.g. Trump is not what we think he is (and for some reason, that we should stop loving Obama even if we already don't). But your way of doing it is largely without substance, its just to fire insults at the people he's competing with. Not even jokes, just things like "shithead" and "horses arse". You can carry on by all means, it's hardly offensive or anything, just a bit pointless. 

Obama and gun-walking: I hadn't read much about it, so I did some reading. Yeah that's pretty awful. So... he should not try to improve safety at all now? I still don't really understand the relevance unless you think this is entirely about his legacy and not about the desire to reduce mass shootings in the USA.

Obamacare - if it is serving the people badly then that's a real shame but you need to consider more than straight financial sums as it should have a benefit to all society. I would rather the NHS cost me more and was better funded, personally. But yes, it sounds like it has not been the success intended, and that's really sad for the USA. See point 1 at the start of this post. Consider what the fuck Obamacare has to do with gun laws. etc.

If you don't understand the relevance, try this: Obama is "from" Chicago. It ain't about legacy makin' ;obama is fulla shite.

The sum total is ineffectiveness. obama has ruined America.

What do you mean by "from"? But no, I still don't really understand what you're trying to say here. Maybe we need to widen the scope of this thread to just USA Politics instead?

No, free market capitalism has changed the complexion of America by allowing primary manufacture to migrate to countries where labour is cheaper through free trade agreements, whilst exacerbating inequality through a finance sector that rewards wealth and punishes poverty.  Who caused the 2007 Recession?  Who paid for it?  

Why do you think the billionaire Donald Trump is standing for president?  Because he's opening a new front in his tireless campaign for the ordinary citizen, for which we so much evidence in his past?  His entire history is of selfish greed and aggressive acquisitiveness: do you really think he has undergone some Damascene conversion? You have a mind, Fixrman, use it.

So answer me this: If Trump is all about the greed, why would he want the job of POTUS? For him, it doesn't pay that well. Tell me, what president have you seen in the past - or any politician for that matter in history - who had a "tireless campaign for the ordinary citizen"?

Right back at you. If you think that your neat and tidy analysis - albeit too simplistic - is the sum total of the American situation, you are fooling yourself.

I can't wait for you to tell me that one. Please, let me hear it from you first, because it will be interesting to see what you actually say about that.

To make sure the laws continue to favour him and his rich cronies, obviously. Can't be having change helping everyone else get a fair break, that'd cost him some fractional percentage of his worth!
