Dear Mr T, I know you look up to me as the epitome of all that is good, but I have to confess there is an element of artifice with that particular image, in that it is somewhat flattering, and I have gone down hill a bit in the last few months. I will take your comments in the way I am sure you meant them to be, and thank you for your kind remarks, which I also know you have difficulty in expressing because of the profound social problems you have suffered over the years.
May I also add that in that; you have at last been able to express yourself positively, you should now be able to see this as a red letter day in the course of your therapy. It may seen hard from your perspective, but you have taken one large step towards normality.

Congratulations
Well done Mr T

Despite much agreement in secularism, debate on issues can be healthy and welcome. More links are at the bottom of the linked article.

In other news, a school decided to suspend a 6 year old for a day after he repeatedly pointed his finger at a friend and said "pow". I kid you not.

What has this to do with the price of cheese.

In the Gurkha regiments of the British army, which are not know for being wildly anti gun the same behaviour would be treated as a serious disciplinary issue. Yes just pointing a finger and saying 'pow'.

As a child of the fifties, before the nanny state, boys were taught never to point a gun even a pretend one, even a finger, sure we could in a play situation, but in school was not the right place and we would have been punished with something other than a day off.

i voted no, because i live in england where relatively very few people have guns and there are less shootings.
Obviously theres the argument that making guns illegal puts guns soley into the hands of only the criminals, but i personally dont fear any crimals with guns and never have while living in england, and i live and travel around some quite bad areas.
When i was young a guy stole my watch and recently i googled his name when i was bored and i found out he had been inprisoned for possession of a shotgun for 4 years, which i was so pleased with. Basically because i enjoy laughing at terrible things happening to people who have done bad things to me. I know people say prison time is easy in the uk but im not a person who considers any time being confined to small spaces with no females and only other criminal men for company an easy time. My point is that in england i think most of the crimanals see it as too much of a risk to get caught with a gun, im pretty sure that most burglers use knives if that in england.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
