    Texas shooting

    The 60s……..when the world started to change. In history, that’s recent mate.

    Texas shooting

    Guns have existed for centuries, we need to ask why this is a very recent development (in historical terms) and ask “what changed ?” I think I know what changed but that would mean something enormous compared to “take away guns”
  3. Guns have existed for how long ?…..nearly 600 years ? Lets ask why this is only a relatively recent thing ? Treat the disease not the take away the tools of the afflicted imho mate.

    Texas shooting

    I can’t even begin to describe how terrible this is, and I was sitting thinking about it last night because I have always been pro freedom which means normal law abiding people should be able to own a gun…..and after hearing this I questioned if I could still hold that view. Then I realised, “should people be able to own a gun” is the wrong question imho…… I came to the conclusion that talking about gun legislation is like putting a plaster on an amputated leg……the problem is sooo much bigger than the tools used to commit these terrible tragic outrages. No, we should ask how do
  5. You won’t want a picture now, I’ve scoffed the lot ! Lol ?
  6. Of course I did, I’m clever like that ?
  7. I think it’s amazing ! ?
  8. “Winning Time: The rise of the Lakers” Its genuinely amazing !!
  9. So, no photos because I’m cooking it at the minute but tonight’s offering isn’t too fancy, Cumberland sausage, lamb chops, lambs hearts, fried potatoes and a couple of fried eggs…..
  10. On series 3 of Das Boot, loved the film and the series is pretty good.

    I don’t have an agenda, I have an opinion. That opinion obviously offends some people but if the cap fits and all that ?

    Yep, got f****d off wasting my time with folks who have no interest in surviving, it’s embarrassing ! ?

    With the greatest of respect mate, I don’t want to accept it, why should I ? Why should anyone ?

    Or, you could actually use that thing inside your canister and vote for anyone else except the main culprits in the hope of creating the space for something more “knuckledragger”

    When you get chatting with some random Sunday league team “manager” and he tells you their centre forward got stabbed to death a couple of months earlier like he’s telling you he had a leak in the upstairs bathroom……stuff like that destroys me mate. You can tell, it’s normal !……you and I know there’s absolutely f**k all normal about it.

    Don’t you think that “we can’t do anything” mindset is part of the problem mate…..I think we have been fooled into that mindset. If we can’t do anything then who is it electing local councillors, MPs, governments because it isn’t nobody ? I agree with the last part and I get it, but this stuff seems to matter to so very few don’t it and that mate is really my point.

    It is but you piss with the cock you got and if nobody voted for the main culprits and the people who don’t get off their arse made an effort then it would be a different story. Thats the other thing, who are these c**ts keep voting for more of this ? Baffling mate.

    Feels a bit like the Alamo most days though mate don’t it……was just over for a visit, watching the telly, walking around, chatting to people just f***ing kills me mate…..makes me depressed ! Never thought I’d say this but I couldn’t wait to get back on the plane because it made me feel so sad.

    That’s the point though, it don’t need to be “groups of people”……and the bit I struggle with badly and just can’t understand is why all this is OK with so much of the population ? Voting is by definition anonymous and private and easy…..you can’t be labelled, you can’t be vilified, nobody knows……and yet, no, we continuously vote for more of the same…..I just have no connection to or understanding of that mentality ! Then these same people (and I’m not talking about lads here who as Newkid has pointed out are an extremely minuscule group of fairly like minded folks) will be all “Rule Br

    It should be more than that as we both know but we have to be realistic and understand that the very private and painless option of voting and telling other people to do the same is as much as we should expect, we can’t expect most folks to be more involved or louder about stuff than that because that wouldn’t be fair. I completely disagree with the last line mate, putting an X in a box is the biggest part of change…..it’s almost all we legally have left and the most important and effective weapon in our very limited Arsenal. I agree mate, and I wasn’t slagging anyone, just ma

    They should go hand in hand don’t you think mate ?

    And when you have reminded them, then what ?…..what’s the point of reminding them if it means absolutely f**k all too them ?

    I think you have got a bit over excited there mate, my personal point was that despite Lee Rigby getting his head cut off in the street in broad daylight, despite little kids at a concert getting blown to bits, despite the systematic rape of our young people and ad infinitum people won’t even go to a polling station……all the things you mention don’t even come into it, a walk to the village hall once every couple of years is much to much effort ! If we are going to remember the likes of Lee Rigby then let’s remember him and change the system that allowed him to die……but we won’t (as a nati

    Mate, just my humble opinion and not a comment on lads like socks and the other lads on here who have commented because I know they are genuine, but things like this, St George’s day, the jubilee, Buying a poppy blah blah blah are used nowadays as a “look at me” thing…….there’s no meaning or substance behind it, there’s no concept of the idea of nationhood or identity, there’s no will to change….it’s something you do so you feel like you did something…….it’s the “egg and chips in Benidorm because I’m British” mentality. All go and stand round the local war memorial once a year so everyone
