Before I say anything let it be known that I am not a gun-nut, I don't own a gun or have any reason to. How many firearms permit holders are there in the U.S.? How many of them go on homicidal rampages? Rob banks? Are involved in gang warfare? Not many? Thought so. Seems to me from the few...

I thought No Country For Old Men was pretty good.

Yes, medical reasons. Don't really understand what the big deal is, personally, I feel I lost more useful parts when a bench saw claimed two of my fingers. It dosen't strike me as being that barbaric unless it's done by people who consider a swig of brandy and a hacksaw cutting edge medicine. I...

While I'm in favour of stopping 10 year olds buying the likes of Gears of War and Manhunt and various other uber violent games. The part that worries me about this law is the "virtual harm to humans or characters with significantly human charactaristics", but, correct me if I'm wrong, would...

Yep, this sounds about right. Instead of actually punishing people who go out and wreck up town centres, busses, taxis, pubs, etc, on a night out or the people who are drinking underage or the people knowingly selling alcohol to underage kids. Which would take time, effort and a bit of thought...

I always assumed it was because the U.S. is a large country. You can't defend a country that size with an army the size of, say, the U.K.s, it just wouldn't be practical.

While I don't condone playing jokes involving kids and hand grenades, it's not like he pulled the pin and let the kid run off with it.

It's a good idea. So long as they don't just start the whole thing up somewhere else. In response to the whole waterboarding = fine and dandy argument. I took part in an experiment that a friend was doing at university into what this does to people and I can assure you that enough goes at...

Terrain! Pull up!

I'd have to say Navy. I don't see space warfare being all that different from modern day carrier warfare. Sailors, or whatever they would be called in space, to man the big ships. An air wing to fly the smaller, fighter style ones and marines for surface warfare. Only bad thing is, how would...

I say no. If you start making things mandatory you get people who don't want to be there. If someone dosen't want to be there they do things half-assed and things go wrong. Not good, especially in the military where half-assed equals dead.

If McCain and Palin win the last piece of my faith in humanity will disappear. To me its a no brainer Obama has to win... if he dosen't we're all fucked. Then again what do I know, in the U.K. all our politicians are crooked.

You know what angers me about this. Some thug kicked a pensioner to death recently in Scotland and got 13 years. Boy, do we have our priorities right.

I went hunting with an uncle once, although i think the technical term was poaching. Had more fun evading the game keepers than the actual hunting part. Mainly cos I was shit scared that they would shoot us.

Gotta love them forums.
