Maybe I’ve misunderstood - but saying something “is in their DNA” implies that they don’t have a choice, it’s pre programmed in them. I was challenging that, it’s a learnt cultural norm, a choice And no, I wouldn’t have automatic assault weapons in my home if they were legal here, simply because there is not a need for them
You're splitting hairs in what was a friendly,reasonable debate...O.K,you win,it's not in their DNA!!
I'd have a gun at home if it was fairly easy to own one. One. The fire power in that picture is ridiculous. An M-60 Machine Gun, 4 Ar-15 Assault Rifles, a Thomson Submachine Gun and an Uzi! I mean what the ****, how can anyone justify having that lot in your house. Guns are dangerous. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen highly trained professionals incorrectly clear a weapon and then discharge a live round. Once in the back of an APC in Iraq, when it ricocheted off the floor, the wall, the roof and into the leg of the lad at the other end of the battle bus.
Not good when in TA's on the range and it was your turn in the target trench. Those rounds pinning of the metal stanchions that held the targets. You always ducked, why I don't know, if one was gonna hit ya it would.
Apparently, having sex is the equivalent to running 5 miles. Who the hell can run 5 miles in under a minute ?
The legend continues. Tyson Fury threatens BBC with legal action if he is included on Sports Personality of the Year shortlist. “It means nothing to me, and I don’t need it or want it,” Fury told The Daily Telegraph. “In fact, they will hear from my solicitors if they do put me on the list. Give it to someone who needs it. I don’t. “We know who the sports personality of the year is anyway – it’s me."
I went to a mate's wedding recently and I whispered to a bloke next to me, "Isn't the bride a right ugly bugger" "Do you mind? That's my daughter you're talking about" "I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were her father" "I'm not . . . . I'm her mother, you cheeky bastard"
I don't often watch the news, but I did tonight. It was as depressing as ever, but obviously you get the weather at the end. It seemed like we were all doomed. I'm off sick with the man flu, not been well at all, but I still wanted a cigarette, so I risked standing in the porch. No rain, only the slightest of breezes. Reminds me of a classic joke... Southerners, stay home, don't leave your home under any circumstances. Northerners, you might need your jacket
Not knocked the tabs on the head yet Kemps? I was voted 'least likely to ever be able to give up smoking' 10 years ago. Admittedly by myself but I believed it all the same. Tab free for about 9 years now. It can be done but only if you want to do it. Anyway, preaching over... Northerners might need a jacket? I actually had to wear a hat today to stave off the cold. I felt like a failure. Like an otter who couldn't build a dam. Or a kestral who's joined the fieldmouse appreciation society. Or a stoat who thinks that rabbits have the right to keep their throats attached to their torsos and head. You get the picture.
It's a little beanie hat. Surreptitious and understated. Hopefully if people asked 'Has Ernie got a hat on?' The answer would be 'don't think so, but he's possibly dyed his hair'.
