The father has very feminine eyes. He’s been living a lie for all these years, and watched most of his paycheck get funnelled into that wee kid down the front that clearly isn’t his (hers?). An emotionally unstable individual like that should be nowhere near a gun.

I jest, but there is a palpable homoeroticism about the tougher gun nut crowd. All that camo and tucked-in poloshirts I guess. Pretending you are military grade when you are 60% body fat and generally getting in the way physically, politically and emotionally. I’m always amazed that such hardliner survivalist gun-nut instincts preclude any form of physical exercise. “I don’t need to be fit, I’ve got my gun”, being the order of the day.

I guess nobody has the heart to tell him that insulin pumps will probably not exist in a post-apocalyptic society and that his daughter will have to bandage his gangrenous stumps once his feet fall off. Still, she has a rifle to play with!

I’ve butted heads with US folks on other forums. They were amazed that I didn’t think it necessary to carry a gun every time I leave my home to go buy milk from the corner shop.

That is where their skills as doctors, surgeons, and engineers are best deployed, in the service of the country that educated them and now needs their energies.

With all the energies in the world I’m not sure you would be able to do too stellar a job whilst half-starved, with no resources to work with and no pay, in a corrupt society where tribal feudalism is passed off as governance. An engineer needs materials, plans, some form of management whilst a doctor needs sanitary conditions, medicines and some form of management. You are suggesting that the Calais mob simply **** off back to their home country (I doubt there is a return network to heist them back over the borders they just crossed) in a bold philanthropic move. Very noble but somehow I cannot see you in that position, toiling away in the bush whilst dodging blows from a blunt machete.

Can I just say I’m not greatly impressed by some of the views expressed above. Too Daily Mail / Express.

You’ve only just noticed this trend within the General Discussion clique? Time to pop down to Spec Savers, Moggy.

You get into dangerous territory fairly quickly if you go down that route.

Claims he has a ferret on him? :applause:

I said it to myself three times whilst staring into the bathroom mirror and now there’s an elderly naked Yorkshireman in here with his member out.

Ouija boards at dawn!

I knew Ken, also his late brother and mother for many years, It was in his character not to suffer fools gladly…

Where does walking around, dick in hand, come in to all of this?
