Regardless of where the term originated - my point still stands. as we have seen in US - no, more people with more guns to protect against more other people with more guns does not create greater gun safety and less gun deaths. Quite the reverse. no law stops everything - but clearly the laws...

Some of them. Others like 'slip carefully' are just poor translations.

Lilac it seems the opposite to me - it is a fact there are far less (proportionate to population before someone says just the population is bigger) mass shootings in countries with tighter gun laws and different gun culture to US that isnt my opinion, it is fact. the "It's an inconvenient...

Summer solstice here was 21st Dec - not sure what exact time in South Australia - I did nothing to commemorate it. 🙃

Of course there was. But it isn't an ongoing regular occurrence in Australia- this was the worst one since Port Arthur nearly 30 years ago. Not one of many. I don't make personal comments about nationalities of posters - I know you didn't either. Anyone who wishes to ignore any individual...

^^ if so, that would help the cruise line bartenders - the card tracking system would show how many he was served on the ship.

If he was causing a breach of the peace I guess he was too loud or harrassing people as they walked past - I dont like bible bashers doing that either. I wouldn't like Koran or Torah or any other religion bashers either - but have never encountered them, only bible ones IME

and he was born Dec 12th 1915 - if he were still alive it would be his 110th birthday today

he died in 1998 at the age of 82
