What do you mean 'real time'? There's no live pictures of the Earth because there's nothing far enough away in orbit to photograph it. But here's an example of a photograph from an occasion when there was. https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_329.html Not arguing either way mate, but if thats a real time pic, weres all the stars in background or one of the many tens of thousands of satelites, it is a bit fishy lol LOL, where's all the stars? You'll find the answer the same place as asking where's all the stars during the day. .....and satellites. Blo

Home Defense As The Founding Fathers Intended
Born Hunter replied to Wolfdog91's topic in General Talk
LOL, I'm not really disagreeing with ya. Part of the justification for 2A is to deter foreign invasion, for instance an attempt by the British to retake the colonies post independence, as you said. Also to keep the citizens free and able to defend their own properties from more minor assaults. It's an essential part of the American self sufficient frontiersman way as much as the bigger protection of democracy. I think it's hard to argue against any infringement in the 21stC but some of the justifications are still very valid and even the bigger ones of the protection of democracy I still s -
Home Defense As The Founding Fathers Intended
Born Hunter replied to Wolfdog91's topic in General Talk
They had tyrannical leaders in mind. 2A wasn't written to protect the fledgling USA from the British, it was written to protect the USA from the US Government. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." It's a bit different today with the advances in weapons systems so the founding fathers would probably infringe on the right in the cases of cruise missile etc LOL but I think they'd still retain the right for the people to bear small arms for the purpose of maintaining effective Mil -
Home Defense As The Founding Fathers Intended
Born Hunter replied to Wolfdog91's topic in General Talk
We do in the Bill of Rights 1689 "Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law". Unfortunately it's a bit too 'flaky' compared to the US 2A and there's not the will in the British people to see it enforced. -
HAHA I was going to post the same!

Chris you have written so much sense there the vast majority of Brits wouldn't be able to understand it. A paradigm shift of 180 degrees to the dominant political thinking of this place. The whole thing needs flattening and starting from scratch.

And In The New!!! Bring Back Fox Hunting Say Prime Minister.
Born Hunter replied to sandymere's topic in General Talk
99.9% of whom wouldn't have the first f***ing clue what they are actually petitioning against beyond "Toff scum ripping foxes apart with their dogs". These internet polls and petitions that are everywhere are utterly meaningless. I don't agree really mate, to most that is exactly what they are petitioning against and a million of them bothered to sign........which is about a million more than the pro hunting organisations have managed to get with their campaign in support of a return to full hunting. Which as far as I can see they have not actually started yet !! I nearly edited my -

Born Hunter replied to sandymere's topic in General Talk
They're only after retaining the rural vote and trying to show some sort of traditional Toryism while running a party that is the personification of Big Gov'/Centrist/Social Democracy. I shouldn't think any of them give a feck about my liberty. TBH, they'd probably be quite happy to put it to the Commons and see it lose. They'll be able to say to us that they tried their best and at the same time be able to shed the toxic subject from their New progressive image of the people's party. -

Born Hunter replied to sandymere's topic in General Talk
Hopefully it's so costly that no government will want to go near it ever again. I doubt it, but I've got a real "some men just want to watch the world burn" streak going through me at the moment so f**k it. LOL The Home Office making it a low priority doesn't cut it with me I'm afraid. So long as the legislation is there it's a threat to this lifestyle and many folk's livelihoods. There's always a more worthy cause. But that ain't the game everyone else is playing so I figure I'm daft to. -
Everything that has the faintest whiff of scandal in politics the past years or two has been compared with Watergate! LOL He'll not achieve very much sacking the Director of the Bureau surely, ain't that what Special Prosecutors are for?

Born Hunter replied to sandymere's topic in General Talk
I doubt it's to try to hide anything. Probably the opposite, Brexit is such a big issue that people are likely to vote Tory for that even if they aren't big on repealing hunting. Basically using Brexit to overshadow a free vote on repeal. Making a free vote part of the manifesto is still a point scorer with their traditional rural vote. As far as I'm concerned, this is the closest we'll get to a repeal. Repeal hasn't been a realistic possibility without a large Tory majority, this is the first time that's looking likely since the ban. Whether or not repeal is a good thing for hunti -
So why on earth would you claim it's a straw man? You've just admitted using the second post to substantiate the first. Touchy, no. Enjoy pointing out to arrogant and bitter remainer peers who throw about the same "leavers are stupid" bullshit that it's bullshit, yes. I'm a Physicist in industry. Not that it matters in the slightest.

Ooooooo, "the intelligent", why because they have a degree? Or were they handing out IQ tests at the same time? What scientists think An open survey by CaSE/EPC in Dec 2015 found that 93% of research scientists and engineers thought that the EU was a “major benefit” to UK research. None of the 132 vice-chancellors represented by Universities UK is advocating leaving. The current and previous two Presidents of the Royal Society have spoken up for EU membership (Sir Venki Ramakrishnan, Sir Paul Nurse, Lord Martin Rees). Nature magazine said in Feb 2016 “it is the vi

Size Comparison Usa Vs. Europe...
Born Hunter replied to Dan McDonough's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
That was very informative fella. South Dakota or Nebraska sounds like the place for me! I'm not serious so don't get excited but I have filed that away for future reference. So cheers. -
Well I'm glad you took that in the friendly, albeit passionately expressed, way it was intended. I was wondering if I'd come back on and find a lynch mob waiting with you and BGD ringleaders! LOL LOL

Because it's legitimate business that is regulated to stop the debt getting to be even a tiny fraction of what you claimed it to be and all outlawing it would do is further protect people from their own stupidity. I'm not stupid and frankly I find it insulting how as a society we seem to beg the government to protect us from our own stupidity. Keep taking away citizens responsibility and they'll happily continue to become more irresponsible. It's no solution! Maybe I give the average man on the street (like me!) too much credit? Maybe he does need his arse wiping for him and spoon feeding?
-
And honestly folks, I'm sure you all think I'm a right elitist c**t but all this is driven from the belief that I want to live as a free man, I don't want protecting from every little bad in the world, I don't want the government to take half my money and give me a shit sandwich back to save me having to make my own sandwich. No f****r knows what's best for me better than me and I'll not hold anyone else accountable for my mistakes. There are genuine cases out there of folks having a shitty run of luck and I accept that society should probably shoulder their burden. But I'll not shoulder a

Not from what I read constantly on this site and frankly coming out of every 'working man's' mouth. Haven't you heard? Apparently it's not the poor hard done by working man's fault for taking a loan that he can't manage, it's the lender's fault! See that's how society works now, we're not responsible for our own actions, it's every one else's fault. Makes perfect sense to me! Why do the British hate freedom and responsibility so much? I can see Labour having a landslide. It's straight out of their mantra. My nephew was made redundant. He has two kids. His rent was astronomical but

Define within their means? Not arguing but if you had to save up to buy it, no one I know could outright own anything The only lad in my circle flourishing has a grow in the loft Speaks volumes really It's easy to get self righteous about ordinary folk borrowing money, whilst forgetting most of us have mortgages & half the worlds run on borrowed money! Haha.... I dunno if I've misrepresented myself on this thread, but I agree with that entirely. I've had a bit of a moan about us 'poor' taking responsibility for our actions regarding credit but I've also said that credit used w
