At an open mic, a little old lady called Pat Leason came up and read some of her poetry.

Interestingly, I took it as sarcasm. Not knowing the woman, I assumed the reader/listener is not supposed to necessarily agree with that point of view.

She had a very long marriage, which ended in divorce and then the death of her husband. One thing you cannot say about Pat is that she is sad. A little bitter at missed opportunities but aren't we all

When I saw them do this, Clive talked about how this is about Sydney and the rich folk on the other side of town. Then Pete just said "the lyrics are Sydney but the music is Margate"

As usual, the gun argument is spurious.
Alcohol is a dangerous drug and heavy taxes are imposed on it to restrict its consumption, as with tobacco. Prohibition, having been proven not practicable in this case.
If your stance held water then it should still be leak proof when expanded. Theoretically, there should be no limit on what arms a citizen could own. A machine gun, tank, F16 fighter, A-bomb or biological WMD. After all, people kill people, not weapons?
Also if that is true for a US citizen then it should be true for any country, Iran or N. Korea, etc.
Europe does have a serious problem with knife crime but it pales in comparison with the US gun deaths. No one gets accidentally killed in a drive-by stabbing.

The cornerstone of any good military unit is discipline. What is required is instant obedience to any order. The parade ground is where this instilled.

@Rob1948 Okay I don't live there so.... However, I have seen many comments on here from US members on Brexit posts, Also comments from your current and former head of state on the subject.
As for road deaths, etc. from what I have read gun deaths are the most likely cause for young black men. Then we go back to Northern Ireland in the 70s at the height of the troubles. Bombs going off all over (funded largely by US citizens) but still road deaths were the largest cause of death. Yet how many American citizens would have wanted to go there on vacation? If road deaths are always going to be top killers that is not a good reason to start smoking.
The argument that the cat is too far out of the bag is also erroneous. It is not an excuse to do nothing. Nor is the fact that mass shooters had already broken the weak gun laws an excuse not to make them tighter.
If there are already more guns than people in a country? Then to my mind, that's a good reason not to sell any more of them.

Have you ever contemplated suicide? The method to use is a big decision.
You could throw yourself off a tall building, overdose or slit your wrists. Each of these methods requires actions. A tall building means you have to go out and find one, with all the chances of 2nd thoughts on the way. An overdose means that you have to have all the pills ready to eat. As for cutting? there is a formidable resistance to applying a blade to one's own flesh. How much easier to just swallow a gun barrel and pull.

Gang killings are pretty much in the same boat. The UK has a lot of gang violence and quite a few deaths but most are from stabbings. This is a very small fraction of the USA figures. That's because guns are not easy to get hold of here.
What I would like to know as an outsider is, what would it take for guys like you to think that gun control might be a good idea?. If it could save a child's life? 2 children lives?10? 100? 1,000? at what point would you say that it should be harder to own a gun than a car?
dahermit comments on Jun 7, 2019:
Most causes of gun deaths are suicides. How are you going to "fix" that? The next highest cause of gun deaths are gang activity. How are you going to fix that? Then the last and smallest number are non-suicides, non-gang related. Why is it that the anti-gun faction always focuses on that, does ...

Have you ever contemplated suicide? The method to use is a big decision.
You could throw yourself off a tall building, overdose or slit your wrists. Each of these methods requires actions. A tall building means you have to go out and find one, with all the chances of 2nd thoughts on the way. An overdose means that you have to have all the pills ready to eat. As for cutting? there is a formidable resistance to applying a blade to one's own flesh. How much easier to just swallow a gun barrel and pull. It is open to impulse, the equivalent of internet shopping.

273kelvin replies on Jun 1, 2019:
@aahouck49 You guys have had metric money from the get-go (well 1785). We used to have £ - s - d. 12d = 1s. 20s = £1. (Many a scratched head by a GI trying to work that out.) I can still work in it if pushed. They say that non-metric systems help make your brain more flexible to different basses.
The French are the guys to blame. Not only are they responsible for you and most of the world driving on the wrong side (Yes you do, How can you shoot, or gesticulate properly through the driver's window with your left hand?) but the metric system too. They went too far when they tried to metricate angles and therefore longitude and latitude. 360 is so divisible.
As for ratios, I was on a course where this old guy could not get em. Then I explained that they are like betting odds and the penny dropped.

The users are everywhere that is not drug tested. If I go out for the night,? I can guarantee that a significant % of the people at the bar will be on cocaine. I am no prude and I have used it on occasion. It never did much for me, I never paid and was only at a party or some such. However, when I invite people back there is a marked difference to the charlie crowd. Instead of joining in the conversation and music etc. They huddle in the kitchen and only engage with themselves. My point is that it does not matter if you imbibe yourself. The vibe that is generated changes the scene. Just as a disco in the 90s would be ecstasy driven. The attitudes and mindset of our society has been altered by it`s endemic use

@of-the-mountain I am always put off when anyone uses the word "they" when describing people. I live in a multi-cultural area of south Liverpool. This includes many Muslims. Some are from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afganistan but also from Somalia and other areas of Africa. The place had and still has a reputation for crime but has been "cleaned up" to a large degree by Muslims who simply want a decent place to raise their families.
Let us look at some of the generalizations that can easily be heaped upon Americans if we use "they"
They, are insular, ignorant, racist, arrogant, religiously bigoted, corrupt and think that they have an overwhelming moral right to invade or meddle in any country they see fit

We should be better people and not hate this person or any person. No crisis is solved by hate. We should be examples of love and understanding. Atheists can become eaten up with cynicism That hate manifests even toward fellow non-believers. We cannot affect change if we nurture our ability to hate....

Back in the 1980's, the (then) leader of the CPUSA was a guy named Gus Hall. He decided it was a waste of time, to run candidates on a Communist Party ticket, and that the thing to do was to infiltrate the Democratic Party.Which they have been busy at ever since. Meanwhile, the 'Righties' have ...

@genessa, @abyers1970 Yes all that presupposes..? The only thing we can say for sure is that something happened at that time. Otherwise, we would not have the historic ripples of the event.

The UK has not only thousands of food banks but everywhere you go, you see homeless people in doorways. The govt has done nothing to deal with this. On the contrary, it has enacted systems that increase the problems. For all of Trumps faults (and they are legion) he does have an agenda. You may not like it but at least it has direction. We have a rudderless ship atm.

In all the years I have known her, she has never been racist in any way. Up to the point of unfriending one of her relatives for similar comments. On the other hand, nearly all, the bad choices she has made has been because of a guy she was with. I think that she is blinkered and in denial. She is insisting that these guys are not a far right group and that was just "locker talk".
What I have done and will do, is give her my perspective and wait. The fact that she no longer lives close allows me not to have to meet with too her often.

273kelvin replies on May 7, 2019:
I hear you and your not the only lady who has commented thus. However, I get a lot of comments/posts from guys who have the same problems. Take myself as an example, I am single, creative and can string a sentence together. Okay, I am a bit quirky, not a "type". Most of the women do not respond to my messages. Then those that do stop talking after the 1st or 2nd response. Nearly all of them a very beige, ie. "I love my family, walking the dog, eating out/in" or worse "fill in later". Lots of them have filters set either at their age or just 2 years older. Some, (who should take a realistic look at their profile) have them set at 10 -16 years younger.
Nearly all of the horror stories you hear about internet dating. The ones that end up as a judge Judy type of scam, are from people who have dated out of their league. Someone who is probably younger and definitely better looking. This applies to both sexes.

Take myself as an example, I am single, creative and can string a sentence together. Okay, I am a bit quirky, not a "type". Most of the women do not respond to my messages. Then those that do stop talking after the 1st or 2nd response. Nearly all of them a very beige, ie. "I love my family, walking the dog, eating out/in" or worse "fill in later". Lots of them have filters set either at their age or just 2 years older. Some, (who should take a realistic look at their profile) have them set at 10 -16 years younger.
Nearly all of the horror stories you hear about internet dating. The ones that end up as a judge Judy type of scam, are from people who have dated out of their league. Someone who is probably younger and definitely better looking. This applies to both sexes.
Brw. I just glanced at your profile and if we were on the same page of the map? Then I would have messaged you x
I work in retail.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired

Personally imho I think that Mussolini is more accurate. In that fake news assertions, he did not actually make the trains run on time.

Big screen vs small screen?
Booklover comments on Apr 30, 2019:
I saw Hitchcock's Rear Window at the theater, a special showing. It's amazing how much more you could see. Tiny details I missed on the small screen. I think all action movies are best on the big screen.

Bernard Hermans soundtrack is not to be underestimated. Kicking myself that I did not catch "Psycho" when the Liverpool Philharmonic did it to the film in the theatre

Star Wars on the big screen. Took the kids to the theater to see it before there was VCR at home. There are advantages to HD at home though. Things like sitting in your recliner in your boxers and hitting pause while you grab another beer.
273kelvin replies on Apr 30, 2019:
Yep Star Wars is one of those.
Oddly "Its a wonderful life" is better in your home at xmas with family around. I have seen it in a theatre and can testify to the fact.

I invented the Last Temple of the Great Black Muffin Mistress. There's a God but She wants you to leave Her alone. Humanity was Her mistake and She's half convinced to destroy them all.

Oh lots of things. Music of course, our tastes change as we age.

@Lucy_Fehr I think we all get slightly conservative as we age. Not in politics per sa but when they move the shelves in the supermarket kind of conservative.
