@Renickulous maybe by US standards the controls are tougher in Detroit but by international standards they are still very lax. A good example is Australia where the gun laws were tightened dramatically after a mass shooting and gun deaths have dropped by two thirds.

Moravian replies on Mar 16, 2019:
@Marionville I don't see any problem with handguns for shooting at targets having to be kept at the gun club. After all that is the only place they can be used and it stops the possibility of them falling into the wrong hands either in transit or in theft from the home. It means that if a person is found with a handgun anywhere but at the club he/she is guilty of a crime. They should also be much more secure at the club. Shotguns and sporting rifles are a different matter as the can legally be used elsewhere. I had a shotgun which I used for rough shooting at the time of Dunblane which I kept in a proper gun cabinet but afterwards It was such a hassle getting approval each year. that I got rid of it I had to get a JP or someone of similar standing and as I hardly used it it was more trouble than it was worth. Semi automatic rifles are something else and should be totally banned for use by the general public.

@Earthling50 I didn't expect to see examples of blatant Christian propaganda posted as being a positive thing on this site.. Why do you think the US constitution deliberately separated church and state ? Of course China are in Africa, but not with troops, with businessmen. Namibia, one if the poorest countries in Africa is selling uranium to China and benefitting greatly from it. The US farmers also benefitted by selling soya to China until Trump's ill advised tariff war. The situation in Kashmir is a result of the British Raj and their hopeless handling of partition in 1947. You talk about imperialism. This is a summary of US imperialism round the world.Facts which can easily be checked "Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad—from giant “Little Americas” to small radar facilities. Britain, France and Russia, by contrast, have about 30 foreign bases combined."

What species is a human mother's fetus?
Moravian comments on Mar 13, 2019:
What a ridiculous question.
Moravian replies on Mar 13, 2019:
@Renickulous So it is all about your definition of morality. Actually your argument and question is specious. A bit like the old chestnut "when did you stop beating your wife?". Get a good dictionary and look up the meaning of human. You couldn't say "a human" because up to around 21 weeks an embryo/foetus is not viable . You could call it a potential human but that doesn't carry the same weight. OK you do not agree with abortion , you are entitled to your opinion but to try to justify your position with nothing more than semantics doesn't work I'm afraid.

Moravian replies on Mar 13, 2019:
@Renickulous Of course a human foetus is composed of human DNA unless it is Ripley's alien or a hybrid pig human that Chinese scientists are playing about with at the moment. That's what I mean by it's a ridiculous question. Whether women have the right to have control of their own bodies is an entirely different question. I'm not sure what your motivation is unless it is to try to make women feel guilty but if you insist then the question should be when is a foetus viable. Millions of embryos are miscarried every year and if this is caused by the woman taking drugs or even from extremely vigorous exercise then under your reasoning the woman is guilty of manslaughter. Now that is ridiculous. .

These recent dreadful accidents need thorough investigation....it’s extremely worrying in almost brand new planes. I think they should all be grounded in the meantime as a precaution.
Moravian replies on Mar 12, 2019:
I think they have mostly been grounded now and have been banned from all UK airspace. I don't know if this is true but I heard that because this model has heavier engines located further forward there is a tendency for the plane to stall so the computers have been programmed to drop the nose of the plane if this happens. The pilot can override this but the airlines and crew have not been fully informed of this. I find this totally unbelievable but if it is true Boeing are going to take a massive hit. Time to buy some shares in Airbus I think.

Moravian replies on Mar 10, 2019:
@Earthling50 I haven't forgotten anything. I am well aware of that. Politics and religion are poisonous mixture and theocracies such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are horrible places to live. What the writer is saying is that it is the interference by the west that has caused most of the conflict. Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya were secular states until America and the UK intervened. The CIA backed coup in Iran in 1953 which installed the obnoxious Shah was purely about control of the oil reserves. How dare the Iranians want to control their own oil. The Islamic revolution was a result of his US backed fascist Govt. Bush and Blair's invasion of Iraq resulted in the formation of ISIS and the deaths of millions of people. The US has backed the rebels in Syria who are trying to overthrow Assad which has resulted in the deaths of millions and the devastation of the country. The US and the UK are supplying Saudi Arabia with the armaments to fight their proxy war with Iran in the Yemen which is causing a humanitarian crisis in the country. The US backed the rebels who overthrew Gaddafi and there has been a civil war in the country since. Look at the facts before you simply blame religion and politics in those countries

Thanks for filling me in on that Actually I was trying to be slightly facetious. It is certainly a rousing song but in this secular age is it appropriate ?.
I believe most people on this site are liberal and probably democrats, not that it matters.

@Jolanta I have a cousin in Australia,born there, and he is a lovely fellow but maybe I have been a bit unlucky in some other Australians I have met. The term "well balanced, a chip on each shoulder" fitted them perfectly.I met a couple recently and the woman went on at length in derogatory terms about the "ten pound Poms" I should have asked her how many generations her family went back. To Botany bay possibly? but I thought that would be unkind.

@rebuffy69 A bit touchy aren't you. I know several vegans who are perfectly healthy but they have to be careful to get enough nutrients in their diet. For example vitamin B12 is only found in animal products so must be taken as a supplement. Actually I was wondering if you are a vegan who nurses, or nurse who only nurses vegans :-)

@Geoffrey51 I have pushed his book before but it really is worth reading to get an insight into life on earth since the first single celled organisms appeared. He concentrates on the mass extinctions but also comments on how and why animal species reappeared and multiplied. It is "The ends of the world" by Peter Brannen. A fascinating book and really worth reading.

Moravian replies on Mar 2, 2019:
I agree that living in a muslin theocracy must be hell on earth and state law must always supersede sharia law but you are not helping your argument by quoting totally false statistics. True London has a Muslim mayor but the % of Muslims in the city was 12.5 in 2011 and will not be much higher now.
