Of course the 2nd Amendment is being challenged-no rational person can see there is any need for it , it belonged to an age long gone.It offers few real benefits but a whole lot of problems not to mention 30 000 deaths every year.The rest of the world seems to get along quite nicely without it...

They are world leaders in dreadful styling-is that what you mean?

It's just proof that the Second Amendment is a wonderful thing.

It never occurs to education officials that the vast majority of teachers are already doing their very best . The problem is the framework in which they operate which seems designed to make things as difficult as possible to do a good job. SCHOOL -- 1957 vs. 2007 Scenario : Jack goes rabbit...

A Trabant of course if money is no object.

As expected most posters went for one that they wouldn't be able to handle and would soon end up ******* themselves therefore making their relatives rich. Very few have gone for CLASS. No mention of the Bristol for example.

This is the sort of thing governments should have prevented or at least regulated.The average guy in the street has been taken along for the ride, willingly perhaps but persuaded by experts that it was all OK.People really felt secure when their houses leapt in value and felt it was reasonable...

The financiers brought it about but the government failed to govern enough to prevent it.It stood by and let all sorts of dubious practices happen. Same in the UK, despite warnings the government actually encouraged the nonsense.

Why is apple pie considered to be American?

That's why I'm glad the Queen is our Head of State and not Brown. She knows how to do things right.

YOu seem so locked into the false notion that government is bad that you seem unable to see other issues clearly.This is the modern world and it just can't run without a large administration.If you think government is bad then look around the world to see what it's like when it breaks down.

The government owns the copyright to it.

We've covered this ground before.If you get hold of the assumption that Socialism is wrong then by association everything with a socialist theme has to be wrong as well.Now Socialism is a pretty poor way to run an economy (though the Swedes might argue) but it's a pretty good source of ideas to...

That to me reads like a "cop out"

You just don't know what's round the corner.Whether you have any intention of having a wife and ****** or not goes out of the window if you meet the right person.

You made my point for me.At a professional level in most sports there's a narrow difference between excellent and great.Bradman's difference was massive.To put it in golfing terms if a course was par 68 and the professionals were going round in about 60 , Bradman would have been scoring around...

Only about 3% of the CO2 is the result of human activity. If it was all about CO2 levels then we would have seen a steady temperature rise over the last 200 years or so. We haven't , so clearly and obviously there are other much more powerful factors at work. We are in fact in a warming...

Re: Can you name 10 girls you'd like to fuck this very instant? How can you fuck 10 girls in an instant?

She should be ****** from driving and her car impounded.That way it might dawn on her that she needs to rethink things.

I've followed the sport for a long time.He is certainly a great player but how would he compare with great players of the past? Domination is when your scores are so far ahead of anyone else's in the history of a game that there is a stretch of clear water between you and the next one on the list.

Yes-but was he SO far ahead of the rest?To compare him with Bradman his statistics would be out of reach. In cricket a bat averaging 40 would get into any national team in the world, by 50 you are a considered to be a great player and very, very few ever reached 60 in the history of the...

It's her right to decide whether to conceive or not. After she's let that happen she has involved other parties who also have rights.And abortion is simply wrong if a ***** would simply be inconvenient.

You can't have it both ways. The problem with the economy is the lack of regulation by government-banks etc were able to lend money they didn't have to people who couldn't repay.This could have been prevented. Neither has the government regulated where your goods are sourced , if they can be...

There are three parties directly involved-the ******, the ****** and the ***** itself (who cannot speak for itself) The woman is capable of preventing conception in the first place, so is the man though this is less cogent to the argument. Once she has let conception occur therefore she can't...

Why baseball?In cricket you are allowed to aim the ball at a player and it's very,very hard. All this thread could easily be resolved by looking at records.

Don't mention nuclear power! Britain was the first country to build and operate a commercial nuclear power station and once produced more nuclear power than the rest of the world combined.We were told at the time it would be so cheap that it wouldn't be worth while metering it.Then politics set...

Salt is connected with high ***** pressure but a survey by the British Medical Association some years ago found that when the people in their sample reduced salt intake no detectable drop in ***** pressure could be detected. If your kidneys are in good working order the salt balance in your...

The days when America could help itself first have long gone.There is simply too much intertwining of interests around the globe , many companies are overseas owned or multinational, there is a dependancy on oil from abroad and the country needs access to overseas markets to sell its...

America found out in 1941 that with the best will in the world it couldn't remain isolated from world events.Countries are just too interdependent. Money is able to move in and out of countries with the speed of light.

Companies don't really have any option but to outsource if they want to stay in business. The public buys overwhelmingly on price and if your competitors are cutting their costs by outsourcing then either you will be priced out of the market or be ****** to follow suit. The UK hung on to...

*****? Didn't get a wink all night :-)

It's also used to produce practically all the food you eat , to process it and get it to the customer.It's not greed, it's the simple fact it works so well and is so versatile.It can be found pretty well all over the globe at a reasonable price and no alternative fuel source has anything like...

Of course they have.Why they wish to do something so stupid in the first place is a different matter.Are they ashamed of themselves as they are? Are they so narcissist that they think that it will impress anyone but an airhead? Are they over obsessed with how they look are they just sheeple who...

Any with any at all. They are an abomination.What is with people who can do this?

The word sex is used to distinguish male and female (gender should only be used to descibe nouns) and it makes no sense to talk about "gay sex" as one of the essential components isn't there, any more than you can talk about a mixture of water-a mixture demands at least two ingredients! Plants...

Yes, I eat till I am full but not to make myself ill.The purpose of food isn't to make you sick or obese or whatever. And the food I eat isn't tasteless trash either , any more than the **** I *****. I grew out of driving fast to feel the rush as soon as I was old enough to realise I share the...

If you seriously ***** for the buzz then you are in need of help.That is NOT what **** is about.

Most beers sold extra cold haven't any flavour to start with.Even Guinness is only a shadow of what it was.Arthur Guinness would be spinning in his grave. Good guide for finding good ****-avoid anything from a great big font.Avoid anything chilled,super chilled or extra cold, good **** doesn't...

**** isn't about buzz.It's about taste. Some of the names I've seen mentioned make me weep. Corona,Bud,Red Stripe,MGD (how can **** in a bottle be "genuine draft?"),Stella,******'s,Carling,Carlsberg,Heineken,Peroni are each and every one pseudo Pilsener mass produced beers, with so little taste...

Strangely enough the more miles they drive the more gasoline they buy.

Most European **** drinkers ***** swill too like Stella, Jupiler and so on. They also have been conditioned to believe **** should be cold, gassy and bland,bland,bland.

Re: You're 8x More Likely to Be ****** By a Police Officer than Die in a Terrorist At My point was that you perceive that the roads would be most dangerous with snow but in fact there are fewer injuries and deaths.

That takes some doing! Schitzophrenia?

Re: You're 8x More Likely to Be ****** By a Police Officer than Die in a Terrorist At There is actual risk and perceived risk.Personal danger is generally perceived and those who arm themselves as protection feel safer. Yet overwhelmingly this has been proved not to be the case.You feel more at...

I'm generally to the right of centre but I accept that sometimes there are good ideas from elsewhere in the spectrum.I live in a country with free at point of delivery health care, it works well and this should overcome any theoretical objections to it. My biggest beef with the Left in the UK...

It depends where you live! If in the US there are over 1000 small breweries which brew for quality not quantity and don't cut corners to maximise profits.The problem is that the vast bulk of **** is brewed from standard quality ingredients (they have to because that's all that's available at...

Re: Consider ... Here's a different account; French military aid was also a decisive factor in the American victory. French land and sea ****** fought on the side of the American colonists against the British. At the same time, British and French (and to a lesser extent, Dutch and Spanish)...

A lot of people seem to think that money can simply be transferred from one project to another , along the lines of "if we scrap one Trident submarine there will be enough money to build 20 hospitals" but in the real world this won't work for fairly obvious reasons. Neither are problems easily...

There was a dyslexic atheist who didn't believe in dogs.

A lot of these aren't beers they are gnat's ****.Look beyond the oceans of swill masquerading as lager (proper lager is a different matter) like Budmillercoors , Stella, Fosters, Red Stripe,Corona,Heineken and Peroni etc and try some real **** that actually has taste and character.***** **** not...
