In the US, they have to use a predetermined mix of young and old…and probably some lightly disabled…but nothing as severe as what I referred to.

When I was in high school (grammar school), I was speaking with our headmaster, who’d just come from a similar position the Seattle area. To raise money for school activities, the school student body volunteered to provide “passengers” for Boeing’s test for the 747. Students recruited parents, siblings, grandparents and friends to get the proper mix. I believe the tests have to be done in various conditions…like a dark hangar.

Thanks.

Claiming that guns are just “tools” is merely playing with words; a bit like saying “Lawnmowers don’t cut grass, people do” By the same logic, I guess people would have no problem letting small kids have knives, or the mentally ill have poison, because those things are just “tools” too, and you shouldn’t restrict them just because they might be misused.

Turkish Airlines DC-10, 1974?

If this is RpR’s much-vaunted “Freedom” I’d want no part of it whatsoever.

And after reading the thread title, here was me thinking knickers :p

That would be an ecumenical matter.

The newspaper account that I read said that hundreds maybe thousands were effectively disenfranchised because polling cards had been lost – without explaining the loss – and then some were found – conveniently, after 10.0pm and the doors had closed.

I don’t think you need polling cards to vote. We didn’t get ours for the local elections, but still voted.

If only the child’s one year old brother had been “open carrying” then he might have been deterred from doing it, or at least the one year old could have shot his brother before he shot their mother. It’s obvious that America needs more guns around to stop this sort of thing happening.
