Dispatches at 8pm on channel 4 has had a program change I think and is now going to be about the massacre and looking into USA gun-laws,should be worth a watch.
I saw that G,reports that a small girl had hit the mine with an axe while looking for firewood,anti-tank mine if its blast killed 10 children,seen ordnance like that for sale in jalalabad and over the border in Darra arms markets just after the russians left.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
If countries laying mines were tasked with keeping accurate records and then having to recover each and every one...well, in a perfect world.
Likewise manufacturers of them wouldn't be quite such good marketers if they had to pay compensation for each life lost as a result of their deployment.
It's a dirty business and of course a HUGE one....ideally suited to this world full of greedy hypocrites.
I was in Cambodia in the 1990's and you could buy anti-personnel mines in certain places,the customers were normally farmers or similar who had grievances against their neighbours,set one on his footpath or property for revenge,its a strange world and no mistakes,that programs on now channel 4.It's a dirty business

Theres a rise in AR-15 (Bushmaster) sales since last weeks massacre,and some stores are reporting large capacity magazines are selling out fast as rumours circulate that military style weapons and their magazines might have ownership reservations placed upon them as part of obamas firearms measures,somehow I cant see the folks currently buying them before a ban giving them up after tighter controls?Theres 200,000,000 legally held weapons in the states,incredible figure

If chavs had their own country it would be called America.
I had never seen a real gun in my life until I went to Philippines, I must admit I could not understand why normal stores and banks even hospitals had armed security everywhere, It made me feel very afraid and uneasy at first until I got used to it, but it has no effect anymore!!
Ex-American colony.
You won't see many guns in Hong Kong, Malaysia or Singapore.
Guns really HELP. I am with bigmarco on this one - don't forget the wide use of guns changed the face the earth. War used to be a fashonable thing until firepower was maximized out of proportion. I would say legislation helps - the gun industry doesn't make money of the kinda guy that goes around blowing up schools, sometimes people get ideas on how to kill everyone just because they have the possibility to do so!Originally Posted by Tawi2
Hi Graham, do they have armed security in America as they do in Philippines? I've been to Vancouver Island Canada and never saw any guns there!!
Yes, they do have armed guards in America (and armed business owners). Guns everywhere, though maybe not always in sight.
Canada is another recent colony of ours of course...so doesn' have quite the same daft attitude that has developed in the States, whereby they originally were given the right to bear arms in order to protect themselves from their own GOVERNMENT can you believe, and that is what is being dragged up now as an excuse.
I think the only good thing about America was the old 50's Rock &Roll music, like Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Frankie Ford ect ect
Agreed ! Blues too.
I'm a big fan of Drag Racing, so this brings to mind 'American Graffiti' the movie, where the two (music and hotrods) go together quite nicely. 'Driving along in my automobile' ....

Great Stuff Graham!!

Webster shooting: Gunman hunted after shooting two firefighters dead at house blaze
A gunman was being hunted today after shooting two firefighters dead at a house blaze on Christmas Eve.
Two more were shot and injured during the incident in West Webster, New York.
Police said "one or more shooters" fired at the firefighters and were no longer at the scene.
Residents in Lake Road were evacuated.
More here
Sickening crime. To attack emergency services whilst they are responding is unforgivable . Their poor families what a terrible Christmas for them.
My thoughts exactly Marco.
Just unfathomable as to what on earth was on his mind
