Shared a beer with my boy tonight. My Blue Heeleer Boof is 12 years old and hes struggling. Poured a glass of Schofferhoffer for him. German wheat beer for the dog or bust. I feel he hasnt got long, i'll be on the flipside when he goes. But life moves on.

Another mass shooting in the US



“America is the only developed country where when someone asks if you heard about that campus shooting, you have to clarify ‘which one?’ That is unacceptable,” said Colin Goddard, a Virginia Tech survivor and Everytown advocate. “Something has to change. We need to all come together for the Umpqua families today.”

I've got a friend that was born and raised in america and him and his brother have huge gun boners. I guarantee when I get home tonight and have a look at facebook there will be a bunch of posts by them talking down gun control. They just can't be reasoned with.


"Gun control just keeps the guns in the hands of the criminals you know. Making guns illegal will never work, it didn't work for alcohol during prohibition, it doesn't work for drugs now. It won't work for guns."



*sigh*

I liked guns, but got rid of them in '97 during the buy back after Port Arthur. No need for them really, although they were useful when wild pigs raided the camp where I was working. Don't miss them at all

Does anyone remember Die Hard Trilogy on the Playstation?
That game was great value.

You got a third person shooter:


A light-gun game (my favourite):


And a driving/race against the clock game:



All on one disc.

Explosive shotgun shells FTW!
Was just talking about that game the other week. Using the gun in the second one was the best of course

Far out the attitude of some Americans is just beyond absurd on this issue.

Every one of them should be required to watch the John Oliver and Jim Jefferies skits on gun control. Both absolutely nail the issue and highlight how ridiculous the situation and the arguments have become.

It's an awesome Turkish sweet!
Actually the Ottomans borrowed heavily from the Byzantine empire which was Greek, which borrowed from the Roman Empire which borrowed from the ancient Greeks before them.
So since the Greeks were there before the Romans and Turks, it's Greek. We just made sure that anyone who was around before us over there wasn't around after us and left no trace. Or did we? You'll never know. :p;)

Although baklava is yummo it does originate from Turkey not Greece. :p
Greece and Turkey being neighbours have a special relationship, like neighbours everywhere. Just think
Britain/France
Japan/China
India/Pakistan
Serbia/Croatia
Port Adelaide/West Lakes
:p

ps many European nuclear power stations are built near their country's borders.
now that's neighbourly love for ya

Ah, that old chestnut. The one which (probably wilfully) ignores the fact that the vast, vast majority of mass shootings aren't committed by hardened criminals, but by mentally ill young men.

There is a great quote from a video game reviewer Yahtzee from his series Zero Punctuation - "perhaps there's a growing sense that our personal safety is less at risk from jabbering extremists inspired by 72 virgins and more from frustrated white loners inspired by one virgin, namely himself."

Video here.
