nauseus

As I am evidently so popular, do I get to retain my recently awarded, and richly deserved, Diamond status?

Just say it's true, say it's true!

Nothing sarcastic in the hypocritical comment I replied to. Calling it sarcastic is just a cop out.

When you jump in on sub threads, it's probably better to read from the beginning.

OK so your accusation of canceling Truss was baseless.

 

Glad we cleared that up.

Well if you're happy with that conclusion, that's all that counts.

Aren't you being just a tad hypocritical here?

You missed the sarcasm then. It'll come, in time.

My daughter carries a 3" facial scar from the age of 4 when she tried to pet a family Thai Ridgeback & it bit her straight onto her face..... Fortunately, the scars follow her lip lines & are now almost not noticeable....I don't trust them.....They snap a unexpected times....Always wired....

They've had many over the years & all turned mean....

I much prefer the temperament of the Thai Bangkaew.....

With all of these dogs it's usually how they are reared. 

"A" family might have not done it right.

A chap I knew had half his face taken off by a bangaew. 

I hope your daughter heals even better.

What?

 

Point out where I even suggested ‘cancelling’ Truss.

 

Go on, give it your best go.

You guess about what her "targets" and "desires" are, then comment on her behavior, mental state and being a dangerous rightwing extremist in a rathers ensationa way. This misuse of this rightwing label is far too frequent - the Mayor of Brussels used it yesterday after trying to shut down a conservative conference there - that seems a type of attempted cancellation to me. 

I just asked a question but you immediately started throwing your toys out of the pram.

But I won’t be fooled by your far leftwing antics.

There are no better examples of why that’s her desire and why it’s a really bad idea than her own behavior and the behavior of her immediate predecessor when in possession of executive power.

 

She’s barking.

 

But don’t be fooled, she’s also a rightwing extremist, a very dangerous individual.

 

Witness the damage she did in under 50 days.

 

 

Another cancellation then? You sound like that Mayor of Brussels.

So that's it, one comment about Trump, I thought as much.................😂

Yep, you're right. A nice change. If his name had not been in the headline then it would have been Trump this, MAGA that, every other post!

I knew this dog from a young puppy on wards.

He bit me when he was something like 6 months old,the owner had no clue about the dog and how to handle it.

After the dog bit a few people he was taken to Isan some where.

It may have been a good working dog but it needed an owner who could read and handle such a dog.

Fair enough.

Agreed but the US constitution is codified, the UK's is not and is based on precedent, so it could be said that the constitution as a whole is less 'rigid' in the UK compared with the US.

 

Nevertheless, the separation of powers in the UK has been recognised as being desirable for centuries. The previous system whereby judicial and executive/legislative powers were invested in the same institution i.e. the House of Lords blurred that distinction. IMO the creation of the UK Supreme Court was long overdue and initiatives which help to expand the distinction should be welcomed.

OK then, our opinions differ, as usual.

No,it was not my dog,i would never have a dog that does that over here.

I had a police service dog before and he would bite when he was working,off duty totally safe

for others and animals.

If you have a dog that will protect you you better make sure you can control the off switch.

So I suppose you don't know how the dog you mentioned previously was treated or trained as a puppy?

My bitch ridgeback grew up with us from about 6 weeks old. A gift to my wife, we took her in as a bag of bones but she turned out to be a good looking girl and was actually full (Thai) pedigree, which can make a difference. She was trained and learnt good behaviour but seemed to know the right thing to do in any case. Fun, loyal and very protective but would always give visitors a chance to show signs of friendliness, before outwardly showing any suspicion or aggressiveness. Thai people seem to know and respect this breed and most potential intruders or baddies probably just say "not worth it" and move on. 

It's always better if you bring a dog into the home as early as possible. Then be firm but give the animal the best life you can afford, plus plenty of love - then they are not likely to bite you.

Here is BBC report, perhaps a tad more neutral than a US news source. Ah, "executive time"... hahahaTrump daily schedule when President

The only thing this tells us is that Trump is actually awake most of the time - nothing like that can be said of Sleepy Joe.

The executive, legislative and judiciary should be separated. If the creation of the Supreme Court increased the separation from the other two entities then that is a positive imo.

That is the way according to the US Constitution. The UK Constitution does not require this separation of powers so rigidly.

Thanks. But I guess there is no supreme court that is elected by the people? 

You guess right. But I didn't say that it is.

Somewhere back in these pages is a missive from yourself getting extremely irate when I pointed out you don’t accept the allegations against Trump, you will not accept any indictments against Trump, you will not accept any trial of Trump, you will not accept any verdict against Trump and you will not accept any sentences handed down by the court against Trump.

 

I plan to dig it out when the right moment arises.

 

 

No time like the present, eh?

It is cheap to make a copy of the M1911 .45 Automatic Pistol...

 

 

For example:

 

 

 

 

Your example actually shows two "copies". Versions of the 1911 are produced by several manufacturers.

Which one is the copy??

21 minutes ago, GammaGlobulin said:

 

I think not.

Reason:  I had a Colt 0.45 1911 Nickel Brush finish semi-automatic handgun manufactured by Colt in the very early 1970s, when I purchased it new.

 

That was definitely a quality gun.

 

Please check this schematic and compare it to that piece of Garbage in the news image.

Then, you will probably see what I mean.

 

 

ALSO, am I mistaken?

Or, is it true that the Recoil Spring Plug is missing from the Pattaya weapon in question?

 

 

 

 

How can I possibly compare this schematic to a grainy blurred image of the offending pistol.

From the image provided, I would say that the weapon is NOT a Colt, but a cheap, imitation, knock-off that just slightly resembles a product from Colt.

 

For one thing, this guy sitting on the ground does not appear as if he might be able to afford a Colt.

 

The cost for the cheapest begin at about Bt.35000, if purchased in the US, and from the manufacturer.

 

So, is that a Colt?

Or, not!

This is the link to Colt's website.

But, there is no need to upload images of firearms to this forum, maybe....

 

 

 

That pistol looks pretty old I doubt anyone would go to the expense of making any cheap copies. There would have been plenty of this style of gun around in the 60's and 70's and Colts have been around forever, so it might be an old service pistol. US Vets. any ideas?

Maybe someone else knows the answer but I can't think of a country that elects their Supreme Court, as in the whole country voting for the judges.

Please explain what she means.

Members of the UK Supreme Court are more selected, rather than elected. You can read about the process easily via Google.

Truss, like many, believe that the creation of the Supreme Court was an unecessary move by Blair, which effectively distanced judiciary power away from Parliament and the UK Constitution. This Supreme Court has only existed for 15 years and could easily be returned to the Lords as the (previously existing) Appellate Court.

'Difficult to do both'.

Logic would suggest otherwise.

The statement presents a false dilemma and a dichotomy either/or fallacy. It suggests that the only two possibilities are that he was either dozing or paying close attention at the same time, when in reality, there could be a range of behaviors in between these two extremes over the four hours that he was in court.

 

 

If you say so, Doctor. Same time next week?
