Undoubtedly. Additionally, people might argue that he could still use a knife or other weapon to kill, which is perfectly true. The difference is that a knife is a close-quarters weapon, and so a victim has more of a chance to defend themselves and disarm the attacker if trained, or run away. With guns, none of these…

Neither can I. The false equivalencies used in arguing are very grating.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

I always wonder if people against infringing any form of arms-bearing also favour a people’s…

Tangentially, yes, the USA needs more standardised and stricter driver licence requirements. Texas, for example, has appallingly low standards for acquiring a driver’s licence.

However, equating cars and guns is a fallacious argument. One can become a deathtrap through poor handling, but a number of consecutive steps…

That also really riles me. I am so very glad that I’m from the UK, where, in part thanks to an uncodified constitution, we aren’t mired in this idiocy.

Which is what I implied. Personally it’s an anathema, but I recognise that there are gun owners who are constructive members of society out there, regardless of political affiliation. At the moment, however, the worst cases need to be emphasised for stringent laws to be put in place. Guns are lethal pieces of…

I watched Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, be interviewed by CNN last night. He actually suggested that the cause of this attack was thanks to Charleston apparently being a “gun free zone”, and if the people in the church had guns then this attack could have been curbed. I’m not sure what he’s…

That would be “Fucktonne”. You would only ever use that if you have 92.8 more fucks to give and your non-standard “Fuckton” just comes up a bit fucking short.

I really enjoyed writing that...

That is fair. If she did believe their relationship might improve then I rescind that part of my criticism. Severe illness is awful, isolating and the paranoia about the state of your relationships intensifies. However, the letter (although it may be biased) points to her mentally sidelining the romantic longevity of…

So I guess I ought to order the collections off Amazon then?

Note: This is pretty rhetorical, because I’m in the process of doing so, but I would appreciate any thoughts on why people generally love the series, if you are so inclined to share.

On the one hand she probably went through hell, and you can’t blame her for falling out of love (it happens) in between all the other mentally draining events, but it seemed like a pretty awful thing to effectively string him along for several months—once she thought their relationship was dead in the water…

I think grammatically “they” still works, though I will have to consult my copy of Strunk and White to be sure; if everybody had been written, then I’m sure “they” would work. However, in sentiment, I chose “they” deliberately.

That is a fantastic picture. Thank you for sharing from your private collection.

I know. You know. And as you say, the whole world will continue to know thankfully.

The eternal dilemma eh? :P

Hmm...Maybe Rasputin, Rochefort, Scaramanga, Dooku instea—no, wait, Death. Christopher Lee is Death himself. This is fantastic.

So you CAN accept supernatural forces, or at least the figurative sentiment, you living contradiction.

Or at least he did, until he refused to accept the conversion to Disquis from Kinja, and with a bit of gerrymandering, got them to use both simultaneously.

Yes, happily they do, some earlier than others.

Look, Sir Pterry has a deal with Death thanks to all of those biographies that he wrote of him, and I’m sure Sir Christopher, Mr. Williams and Mr. Nimoy are having a hilariously metal time of things together.

As himself hopefully, not as Saruman of Many Colours. Have to say though, if he came back as Dracula, that would be pretty cool. He’d actually be immortal then! (Not that he isn’t already.)

Except for Robert Mugabe, on the off-chance that he’s a commenter here.
