Only in America
Now I wasn’t going to post anything tonight. However I was sent this. It’s an article that’s a few years old, but in my mind, shows that if responsible people (I’m trained on hand guns, SA80, GPMG, 20mm cannon, and Mk48 mini gun. Oh and partial training of the Phalanx CIWS) were allowed to carry guns, we could possibly have less street crime.
AN ACTUAL PERSONAL AD
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me In Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2010-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 ...45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!
I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again.
After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]
I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you, but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours,
Alex
If muggers didn’t know whether someone was armed or not, and the law was changed to actually support the defendant, we would have two outcomes. Less muggings and more cemeteries.
Just a thought.
Don’t forget Guns are just nice assembled metal structures. It’s people who kill people.
High paid job?
This is not a job that I could do. It gives me the shivers to just view it.
Don’t look down I tell you.

Marriage Dave?
I see “call me Dave” is trying to be all things to all men (and Women, before you shout me down for being sexist), by trying to get more supporters from the gay community.
The coalition is to push ahead with plans for gay marriage following the personal intervention of David Cameron.
Liberal Democrat Lynne Featherstone will today unveil plans to legislate to bring in gay marriage before 2015.
The Equalities Minister will also announce that Britain should be a ‘world leader for gay rights’.
Actually, “Call me Dave”, if you follow the rulings of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, you might find yourself in a bit of a bind when it comes to international law. If you look below you’ll see it that it clearly states Men and Women. Nowhere does it state that marriage is sanctioned between same sex couples.
Article 16.
- (1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.
- (2) Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.
- (3) The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.
Definitions:
marriage1
noun
1. the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.
spouse2
noun
1. either member of a married pair in relation to the other; one's husband or wife.
Now I was married in church many years ago. I’m not at all religious now but I respect those that have their beliefs The present political thinking is to allow churches to opt out for now. But how long will it be before the gay activists push for a change in the law to allow same sex couples to marry in Church. Mission creep and all that.
That’ll be the day when we should pressurise government that it must extend across all faiths. Imagine any government telling the Islamic community that they are obliged in law, to allow same sex marriages.
Just saying…………….
It’s a mad world
So you’d love a wind turbine to be sited near you as it will supply all that green energy that’s been promised. Here’s what you are signing up to.
And:
“Con with the wind”

Logical?
A young Law student, having failed his Law exam, goes up to his crusty old professor, who is renowned for his razor-sharp legal mind.
Student: "Sir, do you really understand everything about this subject?"
Professor: "Actually, I probably do. Otherwise I wouldn't be a professor, would I?"
Student: "OK. So I’d like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my marks as they are. If you can't give me the correct answer, however, you'll have to give me an "A".
Professor: "Hmmmm, alright. So what’s the question?"
Student: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? "
The professor wracks his famous brain, but just can't crack the answer. Finally he gives up and changes the student's failing mark into an "A" as agreed, and the student goes away, very pleased.
The professor continues to wrack his brain over the question all afternoon, but still can’t get the answer. So finally he calls in a group of his brightest students and tells them he has a really, really tough question to answer: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? "
To the professor's surprise (and embarrassment) ,all the students immediately raise their hands.
"All right" says the professor, and asks his favourite student to answer.
"It's quite easy, sir" says the student. "You see, you are 75 years old and married to a 30 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 22 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. And your wife's lover failed his exam but you've just given him an "A", which is neither legal nor logical !"

FrackNation
This is a film that is hoped to be made espousing the benefits of Shale gas which the green groups are desperately trying to prevent from happening.
In fact because Fracking is conducted at very deep levels, it should be no cause for concern as the technology has advanced in leaps and bounds since it’s inception.
Here’s a simple clip of the process.
If we were to embrace this technology in the UK we would most certainly see, in the medium term, a reduction in our household energy bills. There would be no need to pay expensive and ludicrous green energy tariffs to subsidise wind turbines bird mincers and photo voltaic panels.
Explained here.
Does Green thinking need a red light?
We few who are drowned out by the Big Green taxpayer funded lobby groups such as the WWF and the IPCC need to publicise that there is more to saving the planet than windfarms and useless PV panels. Cheap energy has the ability to lift millions out of poverty ridden lifestyles.
That’s why this film needs to be made. Maybe it’s just a pinprick. But if you do nothing, (And I’m no way condemning you) then we are destined for a poorer world, where millions more will die. I’m also being selfish here in the fact that my gas bill in the last year has risen by 18%, partly due to the imposed green taxes levied on my bills. That would be fine, except I’m a pensioner that has seen his savings eroded by low interest rates and the effect of quantative easing of the currency.
Go on. Chuck a couple of quid into this project
