  1. Yep, David Frum said last night that what you do is you make the process more long winded, with more paperwork and a longer wait time to filter out those who are "not good with life". I'd say that was complete common sense but Drew got all offended by it. I guess that would be simply because it was a Republican saying it rolleyes.gif

    Faraway Saints figures are woefully inaccurate. Only 1 in 3 adults in the US own a gun of any description - not 88.8% of all Americans, that would be utterly bonkers.

    Just to add another bit to this story btw - there was another death in Orlando last night. A 2 year old boy was paddling in the Seven Seas Lagoon at Walt Disney World near the Magic Kingdom when an alligator dragged him out into the water and drowned him. The father had attempted to save his son and wrestled with the alligator. Now if only he had a gun.

    .....what? Let go of the croc to pull it out and it fecks off into deep water? Aye, that'll work.

  2. Read my post again. I am pointing out that America is not the gun totting nation full of lunatic gun slingers that Piers Morgan likes to pretend it is. Responsible gun owners keep their guns at home - not for break ins at all - but because they only use their guns for hunting. As with every other part of the world, terrorists, gangsters, and other criminals will be able to obtain guns whether they are illegal or not.

    However, perhaps had more US citizens been carrying their handguns at the Pulse nightclub, there would have been far fewer deaths.

    That's the NRA argument. Say 200 in the nightclub, all with guns. Mad, gay Islamist starts spraying, all 200 join in, it would have been like a scene from From Dusk Till dawn.

  3. So the Natsis are happy and they think they are off the hook. They f**ked up massively by cutting maintenance budgets on the bridge and cancelling work that was already overdue. The bridge breaks, the shit hits the fan, for 3-4 weeks businesses are severely damaged and commuters are massively inconvenienced. The SNP throw everything at it, including workers building the new crossing, and they now look like they'll get it open just in time for the holiday period....and how the Natsis cheer.

    Its just more evidence that the Natsis care more about the party than they do Scotland.

    I thought it was indirectly run and financed by a quango?

  4. Surely he was culpable in that he knew that eventually he would have a blackout whilst he was driving, and given that most of the time he was driving it was a 13 ton bin lorry, incapable of being redirected or stopped from within the cab. If I were to sit on Ayr beach, starting at 5am, with a random alarm going off at irregular intervals, and each time I heard it, throw a stone into the water, I know that eventually I would hit someone either on the beach or in the water, and when it happened I'd be charged with assault. Why si that so different from the George Square scenario? Is it just too logical for the legal mind, i.e. ye cannae make money oot o' it if all it takes is logic?

  5. Murphy is a vegetarian, tee-totaller with a very firm line in invisible sky-daddies and the power based near the Italian capital. Must be a right barrel of laughs on a night oot. Also went to Uni for nine years but didnae get a degree. Is this the level down to which Labour have stooped? A guy whose life is based on superstition?

    Martial arts killer boasted to instructor

    A MAN who used martial arts kicks during an unprovoked street attack on a stranger has been convicted of murder.

    Luke Quinn, 33, left his victim Simon Richardson dying in the street after an assault which involved knocking him to the ground and then stamping on him as he lay defenceless.

    Hours later Quinn, of Busby, East Renfrewshire, boasted to his taekwon do instructor by text about what he had done.

  7. Here a right wing Tory call for cuts to.............

    Welfare minister Lord Freud has apologised for "foolish and offensive" remarks in which he suggested people with disabilities could be paid less than the minimum wage.

    Aye, the bosses are doing them a favour by allowing them to work in their factories, and getting to use all that nice heat for notthing.
