    I shot a 40 S&W in South Carolina a few years ago. There's so much choice. After you get over deciding how you want your eggs for breakfast, and whether you want bacon or sausage, toast or hash browns, you get offered just as much choice at the gun range. Revolver or semi-auto? Double action or single action? Which calibre? Which make of gun? Which target do you want? I want that one...... Yeah, they like their freedom, LOL. If pistols were legalised very liberally tomorrow I'd be out to buy at least two that afternoon! I fecking hate our gun laws but I'll save you a rant.

    Independent Police Complaints Commission Whether the viewers of this filth participated in the crimes filmed should be irrelevant to their treatment. They're viewing the footage of a crime being committed. A most heinous crime.

    Probably a lot of it is while they're at work. It's an average, and doesn't reflect everybody, but you have to admit that a third of their lives is being hooked to a screen and it's pretty damning. A third... 33%

    Shame he wasn't running towards you. If he was running away you can't legally shoot.

    Believe it or not it's to do with body armour. The T is where there isn't any. We do active shooter drills where you fire 6 shots to the centre. You then realise the AS is wearing body armour so you have to get at least one round in the ocular cavity (T) before you can stop the timer. Quickest time wins. 10 points because any round there stops the threat!

    No worries! Some of our local lads could do with a few pointers from you!

    Nice work Walshie! Were you on a timer?!

    f**k that... tactical retreat...

    How can viewing a crime be okay? We're not exactly talking about consenting adults are we?
  10. ChrisJones
    Same thing.

    it's about money. They have to sell things because advertisers pay their bills. They have to show things that get people to sit and watch. If you want a light evening you're not going to sit and watch a documentary on child abuse, you're going watch celebrities congratulate each other with gold statues. Bottom line is this. If you don't like what you see in the media stop subsidising it with your money. Cancel your satellite. Unplug the box and read something that might actually contain real information. The average Brit spends 8 hours 41 minutes, a day on the media. Roughly split 50/50 betw

    I think social media has been amazing this election cycle. No filters at all just raw feeds. I have no issue with him tweeting at 0300, but if you're going to systematically strip my rights, or my wallet, upset the Australians, or threaten to invade another country, I want your reasoning in a lot more than 160 characters.

    I can't argue with that, mate. In fact I wrote a whole post on it that at least 2 people read! Again though, the relevance of the media source isn't the issue. It's that elected officials have to justify their positions to their shareholders... Us. We will never see a news source that reports balanced stories. Never. We'll get close but how close depends on the integrity of the guy/gal writing the article. Again the BBC are opinionated bunch of arses like every other news outlet but their American division has every right to ask questions as taxpayers funding the salaries and whims of

    Are you sure he wasn't a vampire? I'm not using the teabags at his house...

    I can't argue with that but is "None Of The Above" an option on a British ballot? If not would that be something a parliamentary online petition could fix? If you could secure a vote without voting for the lesser of evils would it encourage more people to engage in the process? I agree if it's a two horse race and you agree with neither party then it's a frustrating position to be in. I certainly don't affiliate with either of them but I used to spoil my ballot as a protest vote. The position in the UK is that the elected officials really don't give a shit because they know that not e

    It's not bullshit is anymore it's "alternative facts!"

    You have to vote to a degree. I voted to take my contributions elsewhere. Despite the rhetoric on here, and elsewhere, there isn't going to be a revolution. There isn't going to be proud patriots taking the country back. If you genuinely want change you have to work for it. Like I said in another post. You can back a different horse, or sort out the horses you want in future races. If people can't spend 20minutes to cast their disapproval on a ballot then you truly get the government you deserve. Not voting is a surrender to the status quo IMHO. You have to do more than just rant every fou

    I guess I mis-communicated that. The media has shown it's irrelevance but the commander in chief has a duty to report to his employers. Does that sound better? Elected officials may be able to wriggle out of answering questions but they work for us not the other way around. The naysayers are still his employers.
  19. ChrisJones
    That's the problem, mate. No one wants to do anything about it. We'll sit here and piss and moan about [insert whatever it is here] but the reality is that most of us are online activists. I've attended plenty of protests. Right up to being plastered on the telly at the hunting demo, but what did it achieve? Hunting got banned and all our taxes keep going up. All that was left was the realisation that if you can't win at home you move grounds!

    You're right about unbiased media. Even the truth is spun depending on the writer, but it's not about talking to the media it's about dealing with the public. He can ban all of them if he wants to but he's the leader of the "free" world... Everyone has a vested interest in what he's going to do, or not. All he's demonstrating is that he's a reality TV host behaving like a petulant child. This ain't a board meeting.
  21. ChrisJones
    Time to back another horse? Or start raising horses in order to get exactly what you're after down the line?
  22. ChrisJones
    California and Nevada both legalised it for recreational use... The dominoes are falling...
  23. ChrisJones
    He has indeed banned the BBC. Also the Guardian, The Daily Mail, CNN, Buzzfeed, and The New York Times. Nothing like the sound of your own echo chamber, eh?
  24. ChrisJones
    You can't win really. We're giving them shit for special lighting, but we were all complaining about political correctness, and lack of freedoms, when New York was talking about banning iPods for the same reason. Both systems seem to favour the chronically stupid.

    Us old folk are going to need safe spaces at this rate...
