Hamilton Saint

Can you re-write that sentence so that it makes sense?

The Most Dangerous Book by Kevin Birmingham. A fascinating account of the history of Ulysses, the novel of James Joyce. This book tells the long history of the book's development, and the long campaign of censorship waged against it. It provides interesting details about how books were seized and banned in both London and New York City.

Thanks for the help, guys.

As I said, I tried BBC Football - didn't find anything. I also tried Google. Instead of being a smart-arse, you could have linked me directly the info, as the others did.

I've been trying to find the team line-up (on here, on club site, on BBC Football) for the home game against Burnley last season. No luck, yet. Could someone link me to a site with that info?

"Why would you remove something that you legally own?", you ask. Because it is a danger to your infants and young children. As a responsible adult, you put the safety of your vulnerable children ahead of your legal right to keep a loaded handgun in your purse. Your obligation to secure their safety is more important than your freedom to behave irresponsibly.

You have a problem with the phrase "responsible adult"? You don't think free individuals have a moral and legal responsibility to others? You don't think free individuals can figure out a way of safely removing a handgun from a home? "No comment about what that woman is feeling"? I would have thought her feelings would be obvious - and the overriding feeling is probably one of immense guilt for her irresponsible behaviour, which led to her child's death.

New slogan: Guns don't kill people; young people with guns kill other young people ... or themselves.

It works like this. The responsible adult in the home says to himself/herself: I have infants and young children in my home; I'm not going to have a loaded gun lying about - especially a small handgun. It's dangerous and an accident might happen. Then the responsible adult disposes of the gun.

Go back and read your post #1646: "What dismay are you talking about .............the fact that the franchise is in Canada means sweet FA to MLB fans........... just like the Stanley Cup the vast majority of players are Canadians but the franchise is in the USA." "The franchise is in Canada" refers to the the Toronto Blue Jays. You are talking about the Blue Jays. Then you say, "just like the Stanley Cup the vast majority of players are Canadians." You are saying there that most of the players on the Blue Jays, just like those who play in the Stanley Cup, are Canadians. Well, that's incorrect. Then you say that the franchise is in the USA. The franchise you were referring to was the Blue Jays, which is not in the USA. As I said before, you are confused. You just can't write coherently.

I interviewed Robert Fripp back in early 1981. He was promoting a new album ("The League of Gentlemen"). He was very friendly and very bright - an intellectual. Some might find his way of talking a bit pompous, but I was very impressed with the bloke.

The vast majority of Blue Jays players are Canadian? The Blue Jays franchise is in the USA? Man, are you confused!

I'm in a "foul" mood.

The plural form of referee is referees, not referee's. That's a straight red card for you, my friend!

Into the sepp-tic tank!

And the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series in the '92 and '93 seasons (much to the dismay of many Americans!).

In today's The Independent. And it's not just Americans who think that everyone owning handguns is the solution, rather than a major part of the problem. http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/the-worst-gun-rights-arguments-ever-made-yes-including-vince-vaughn--b1zgNnRhex?utm_source=indy&utm_medium=top5&utm_campaign=i100

None of that makes much sense. And the last statement makes no sense at all. And you haven't answered my question: where did I say that Grade 8 = university level now in Ontario? Who is actually playing to the gallery here? I offered a link to an interesting article about an American study on police statistics - not in a provocative or opinionated way, but just to provide food for thought - and your response wasn't to consider any of the thought-provoking facts it presented; you simply offered a snide comment about the newspaper that reported it. Because you seem to be locked into a permanent position of confrontation, mindless banter and juvenile insult, you don't seem at all able to discuss things rationally. You need to step back and try a more objective approach, because you're the one trapped in a "hey look at me attitude". By the way, I know quite a bit about you from what you have posted on here. You have revealed a lot about your prejudices, your mental acuity, and your attitude to the world.

Where did I say "Grade 8 = university level now in Ontario"?

That would be 'um' or 'er', not "erm".

"I think they reckon most newspapers these days are written at a Grade 8 level of understanding. So, there you go; you might be able to cope with it." You probably considered this point in my previous post as a cheap shot. But go back and look at post #1589. You completely misread the gist and spirit of it. It offered the opportunity to get some interesting data on the issue under discussion in this thread. But you couldn't get past the words "Toronto Star".

OK, it's not Fox News, I grant you, but it's still worth a read. It's not propaganda, or opinion-based. It's data about a Washington Post study. (That's an American newspaper.) Give the article a read. It might confirm some of your beliefs. It might challenge a few. Who knows. You might even learn something. I think they reckon most newspapers these days are written at a Grade 8 level of understanding. So, there you go; you might be able to cope with it.

Here's an article from The Toronto Star. Interesting. It's about a Washington Post analysis of data about police shootings in the U.S. It's rather long; but it's full of interesting stats and identifies some of the patterns that can be identified in these incidents. I'm not going to offer any conclusions about the information provided. Read for yourself and consider some of the key points. http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2015/05/31/us-police-kill-more-than-2-people-a-day-analysis.html

Everyone is gonna be shipped off?

Congratulations to Kelvin for playing his 300th game for Saints today.
