Re: Tase the Grandma. I think all Peter was doing was expressing a certain amount of regret at the dropping of that oh-so-liberal Eye-for-an-Eye policy originally proposed by those very right-on, politically-correct Ancient Israelites (or whoever it was).

Re: Tase the Grandma. Actually, if it was an eye for an eye, wouldn't Peter be right on in his question? WW, I wasn't talking about gun control, don't think Peter was either (although, surprising as it might be I could be wrong). Just talking about rights. I have been trained on, with and around guns, and owned them once or twice but prefer the boys weapons of knives and sticks, cause I'm still a boy at heart , or...

That, and honestly, we expect women in America to cook and clean full time, raise kids full time, and have full time careers. One of those has to go. Usually its cooking since cooking and cleaning go hand in hand. Its our lifestyle expectations and economic situations that...

Quote: the reason it was a torch rather than a club or baseball bat was that if I did hit someone with it, it wouldn't be classed as premeditated as it could be argued in court that the torch wasn't being carried as a weapon. I think whoever told you that didn't understand the law, old chap. You have the right to take action in defence of your self, another person or even property. You are entitled to use "reasonable...

Just how weak are these lampposts or is it that the bunting is really heavy? BUNTING BANNED FROM FERNDOWN CARNIVAL (From Bournemouth Echo)

Perhaps seizing her car-keys would have done the trick ? Funny how her version changed when the CCTV footage was mentioned !!

True. I have no doubt she could get nominated no matter what she does , but I'd really like to think someone as obviously crazy as she is would never actually get elected. Hopefully, we'll wont have to find out and she'll just quietly disappear and be forgotten. *sigh*

She is an intellectual lightweight and even intensive briefings and cramming cannot make up for a lifetime of willful ignorance. I would like to believe you are correct on this; but history teaches us that it is never wise to think "it can't...

Re: Tase the Grandma. Quote: Originally Posted by Saeltari Sounds good to me. If they are trying to take something or force something then you are the victim, why should they have any rights at all? Seriously?? They had the right to choose to steal your stuff and in effect put your life in jeopardy. Going by what you are asking, Peter (not to single you out, but you asked ), then even though they had the right to choose to take your stuff you...

Re: Tase the Grandma. Ah geez guys . Peter, I am really sorry. I was very rude. I was the one that brought guns into the discussion. I assumed you knew what I meant by 'CWP', therefore I assumed you were referring to guns. I went back and read the posts, and Saeltari is correct. There is no mention of guns. Your post just struck a nerve, and a very raw one at that (just in case it's not blatantly obvious ). I'm one of...
