Yes.

"A gun is no more dangerous than a cricket bat in the hands of a madman."
This is a quote from the UK's most stupid royal the Duke of Edinburgh (the queen's husband) He is noted for making unthinking public remarks. Here is another example just to illustrate the point.
"If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed.
Said to a group of British students in China in 1986, as quoted in "Long line of princely gaffes" BBC News (1 March 2002). The point I'm trying to make is that nobody questioned that this was a stupid thing to say - nobody offered any argument about that. Yet on this post people have said exactly the same kind of thing in all seriousness.

Never but started dyeing it when I first saw some grey hairs in my 40's.

Female.

People seem to be redefining definitions here as to what porn is ie they are talking about only pictures but all of it is considered to be porn that is writing as well. Not that I am arguing just noting the change of meaning as language is always in a state of constant flu and this seems to be an example.

: the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement
2
: material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement
3
: the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction

Yes.

It's what sports fans in the U.S. do, and makes for fine distraction. Hockey players are considerably underpaid imo.

Got more respect for the people who play some sport than the fans. It's like watching paint dry (even the paint some fans daub their faces with. :)) If they earn more than bus drivers they're overpaid.

Sounds quite an honest and enthusiastic person with an open mind.

What's Fat Tuesday some sort of fast food franchise promotion?

Bolshie.

Like one that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread.

i think a lot of countries could say that, yes. We are not soley responsible for every single country in the entire world, you know. i mean, seriously.

Oh I'm so pleased you acknowledge that and grateful too. Seriously. In fact I'm sure a lot of countries would be grateful if they weren't saved anymore.

Strange question. Firstly avoiding the issue after having posed the question and secondly starting another deviation. Let's recap and return to the original debate - some person went on about god given rights to have guns which I thought hypocritical - this led to others' patriotic sloganeering. I have not championed any particular country or cause mainly arguing about the contradiction of personally owned firearms. To me this issue is a sort of joke like those James Cagney movies with machine guns etc so over the top they were amusing - so unreal. However that doesn't seem to be the case with you guys; you find this not only serious but normal (that in itself would be quite funny if the consequences weren't so serious). However don't think I am avoiding your greed question I just feel it's irrelevant.

Are you talking about my Dad's country which as far as the US is concerned had no freedom until quite recently and the US had nothing to do with its freedom- in fact the reverse - when FDR signed away most of Europe along with Winston Churchill and Stalin? Personally I don't really believe in countries and think nationalism and greed is at the bottom of most conflicts. Wave your flag elsewhere.

I think that was your way of saying thank you to the US Troops and for those that have set more people free then any other Army in the history of the planet.

Do I have to be pedantic - they did not free my Dad's country so what is there to be thankful for? Or is there some subtle nuance escaping me?

Actually that Quote is from FDR just before the US Troops for the 2nd time freed Europe. He forgot to free my Dad's country which is the one they started it over; of course that was at the beginning of the war.

Amen, Brother


Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.

They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.

They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.

For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.

Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.

And for us at home -- fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas -- whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them--help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.

Many people have urged that I call the Nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.

Give us strength, too -- strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.

And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.

And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons; Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.

With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

Thy will be done, Almighty God.

I was right God is an American and he's starting the new crusade in the name of Shell and BP and ESSO. Hallelujah!!!

Sure quot the bible and then go kill the unborn... when you have left body parts on the field of battle defending this country and its constitution as i and many others have then we shall talk about constitutional rights. Until then



It's so reassuring to know which side god is on oh sorry - God is on, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he's an American and not English as I previously believed

" And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains green? And was the countenance divine on England's pleasant pastures seen?"

Is Tommy Lee the guy from some band who was married to the pneumatic creature from Bay Watch? Hang on I'll google him and confirm and try and answer the question. Ah my guess was correct it is him - out of Motley Crue? (good name for a band I must admit) I'd give him an audition and if he could play a proper roll on the snare (not a jelly roll that's for the piano) I'd consider playing with him. But really I would rather play with Animal out of the Muppets the greatest rock drummer in the world. You haven't lived 'till you've seen him do Wild Thing or Keith Moon playing at the Albert Hall using cricket bats for drum sticks.

"There will be a ratio of 10 women to each man and.............Mein Furher (sorry) ......Mr President I can walk."

"But what if they stash away some bombs and when we come out they take over? We must not allow a mine shaft gap."

We'll meet again don't know where don't know when but I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through just like you always do 'till the blue skies chase the dark clouds far away.

And won't you please say hello to the folks that I know tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know when you saw me go I was singing this song EVERYBODY NOW!!!!

We'll meet again..............................................................................................

How is it hypocritical, to be Christian, and also be a gun owner?

Oh please.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

After night shift I was always very horny. Once after such work I was travelling on the London Underground and had fallen asleep I recall having very erotic dreams. I was woken up by a typical city gent who was holding his copy of the Times over my lower body and he whispered in my ear "You have an erection and there are ladies present." I looked down and sure enough it was twitching away underneath the blue serge of my RAF uniform. Readjusting my clothing I mumbled "OK." and went back to sleep.

What strange contradictory views you have (to nit pick as an unbeliever who is now never really shocked at the depth of hypocrisy of so called believers) And I 'm not sorry at all. And as for the whatever amendment right it is - that fortunately doesn't apply to me.

A boomer baby.

It’s called a hypothetical for a reason because i would never do that. first of all and yes maybe i was a little bit strong with the language and I do apologize for that, but why are we even discussing this in the first place,

Not that I'm the slightest bit religious but I feel your choice of words here shows just what value your opinion has.






I am a gunsmith and i have seen many people come in places that I have worked and attempted to purchase guns. When they clearly should never handle let alone own a gun. And we always find clear legal grounds to deny them. In most cases people who use guns for let’s say evil acquire them illegally or steal them. I am totally for putting laws in place that demand gun owners have a gun safe or trigger locks. But banning ar-15s and ak47s just because I’m not going to take a deer with one doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to own one. which if properly outfitted an ar-15 is perfect for taking many game animals .stronger background checks yes, gun safes yes, trigger locks yes, steeper penalties for illegal gun sales yes, same penalties for gun smuggling hell yes. There’s no reason to take away over 150 different guns.

Never quite understand this self association with some sports team or other of overpaid hooligans.
