SarniaSaint Posted 1 April, 2015 Share Posted 1 April, 2015 Sarnia, have already answered the Thatcher point, but in relation to how Canadians feel and Americans and vice versa, if you tell me you are best buddies, ok. But I have spent time in Seattle and Connecticut and also have friends in Canada and the impression I get is that there is no love lost across the border. In fact you come across to me as more American than Canadian (no offence meant). No offence taken ...........I don't know where you got that impression from.........like I told you I live 2 miles from the border and in the US every week..........and have found that they are way more friendly and likeable than the peeps n Toronto and the GTA.....

Odd. Your description of the reply "restrictions on guns only limit law abiding citizens from protecting themselves" as "complete crap" and a "joke reply" is what you have said on here, quoted back to you several times now. So, just answer this question, for absolute clarity: Do you agree that the reply "restrictions on guns only limit law abiding citizens from protecting themselves" is "complete crap" and a "joke reply" as you said before? It's Yes or No. It's really important to try and understand your position on this. Three or four more days and we might get there. It's a wonderful way to start my mornings.

"On 1 January 1983, upon the coming into force of the British Nationality Act 1981, every citizen of the United Kingdom and colonies became either a British citizen, British Dependent Territories citizen or British Overseas citizen. Use of the term British subject was discontinued for all persons who fell into these categories, or who had a national citizenship of any other Commonwealth country. The category of British subjects now includes only those people formerly known as British subjects without citizenship and people born in Ireland before 1949."

Hamilton Saint Posted 4 April, 2015 Share Posted 4 April, 2015 Great pic ........shame that the words are complete crap........... "The assertion that guns offer protection is a mantra the NRA has repeated often. In the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, LaPierre opined: "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun", insisting that schools should have armed guards. Academics such as John Lott and Gary Kleck have long claimed that more firearms reduce crime. But is this really the case? Stripped of machismo bluster, this is at heart a testable claim that merely requires sturdy epidemiological analysis. And this was precisely what Prof Charles Branas and his colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania examined in their 2009 paper investigating the link between gun possession and gun assault. They compared 677 cases in which people were injured in a shooting incident with 684 people living in the same area that had not suffered a gun injury. The researchers matched these "controls" for age, race and gender. They found that those with firearms were about 4.5 times more likely to be shot than those who did not carry, utterly belying this oft repeated mantra. The reasons for this, the authors suggest, are manifold. "A gun may falsely empower its possessor to overreact, instigating and losing otherwise tractable conflicts with similarly armed persons. Along the same lines, individuals who are in possession of a gun may increase their risk of gun assault by entering dangerous environments that they would have normally avoided. Alternatively, an individual may bring a gun to an otherwise gun-free conflict only to have that gun wrested away and turned on them." " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Saint Posted 4 April, 2015 Share Posted 4 April, 2015 OK .......... You can roll your eyes as much as you want. You backed up your argument with CB Fry by making the point that he was a subject, not a citizen. When I provided evidence that your point was incorrect, you said that you didn't care. It's hard debating with someone whose thoughts lack consistency or logic. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
