Anything heavily has been smuggled from the Land of Freedom. Twice is right, about 80k die of overdoses. Where might they find rehabilitation, counseling and aftersupport in a country prioritising war???Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:50:27 +0000Yes, 40s is between 40 - 49 LOL. I don't believe I said 40. I have no interest in world demographics. I'm an antinatalist, always have been, but that's a discussion for another day. Suggesting people like me are selfish for not wanting to breed is absurd; Who am I being selfish to? The Thai government? It's a humane decision, not wanting to bring more misery into the world. You can breed an extra couple of children to make up for it... But don't worry too much, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar will make up for the shortfall. I think Thai couples are smart, having small families.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:48:55 +0000Sounds like you are living in your own fantasy World to me....but hey, everyone to their own ideas.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:48:50 +0000I have 5 guns myself. Four rifles, 4 different calibers for different game and situations. Two shotguns. One for deer and one for upland game. Two bows and a crossbow. I would like to have more, as they're a work of art. People who collect guns have never been a problem. It only takes one nut with one gun to make headlines and make legitimate gun owners look bad. Semi autos are used for hunting and target shooting. Open carry or concealed has people protected from illegal carrying criminals, or at least gives you a much better outcome if you're accosted. It's very simple, as responsible gun owners are not the problem. It's always been the crazies who are getting their hands on them, and some irresponsible gun owners are to blame.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:48:27 +0000Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has accused billionaire businessman and social media owner Elon Musk of attempting to deepen divisions in Britain following the murder of teenager Henry Nowak. Get today's headlines by email The comments came after footage emerged showing police officers handcuffing the 18-year-old as he lay fatally injured. In the video, Nowak repeatedly tells officers that he cannot breathe. His killer, Vickrum Digwa, had claimed he was the victim of a racist attack. The case has sparked public anger, with violent protests breaking out near the scene of the killing in Southampton. Musk, who owns the social media platform X, has posted several messages criticising the police response to the incident. PM Criticises Musk's CommentsDuring a visit to York on Thursday, Starmer said Musk had been interfering in British politics and accused him of seeking to inflame tensions. "Musk, again, has been interfering in our politics in the last few days, trying to whip up division – that is not who we are in Britain," the prime minister said. He added that Britain was a country of "reasonable, tolerant people" and pointed to the response of Nowak's family, who have urged the public to remain calm following the teenager's death. Investigations UnderwayStarmer said the conduct of the officers involved was being examined by the Independent Office for Police Conduct. He also confirmed that guidance issued by the National Police Chiefs' Council relating to race was being reviewed in light of the case. Asked whether he supported Conservative calls for a full misconduct investigation into the officers' actions, the prime minister said changes might be necessary and should not be ruled out. Call for Political RestraintHowever, Starmer stressed that political leaders should avoid exploiting the case. "I think it's right that there may need to be changes and we shouldn't shy away from that," he said. "But how we conduct ourselves now as politicians is really important." The prime minister urged politicians of all parties to heed the wishes of Nowak's family, repeating their appeal for calm and warning against using the case to stoke further divisions.

Twice as many people die from illegal drugs, but the left seems to have no issue with that. Give them ATM cards and free needlesThu, 04 Jun 2026 10:46:29 +0000NOT ME! Unless carrots and soybeans count.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:46:01 +0000Can't hep but agree that the US has a much higher proportion of the mentally ill. For a very long time, Bobbies were not armed (some still may be). They did just fine fighting crime. So you agree with racist cops and ICE being armed? I suppose in a country as violent and gun-toting as the US, it might be called self-defence. Most of the countries you named--you forgot Israel--are at war. Doesn't count. There's not a right hand, nor a left, which should be holding a gun.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:45:08 +0000But every day...?Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:44:40 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:43:40 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:43:36 +0000Not even necessary.

Well, I never!Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:40:56 +0000The US has violence but there are plenty of countries that are far worse. Sudan, Myanmar, Gaza, a few African countries, Jamaica, Mexico, Honduras, Belize, Haiti, Venezuela, and others. As far as it's peers, it's not doing well yet. Guns in the wrong hands are definitely the main problem. Guns in the right hands never will be. We have a huge population, which means more violence and unstable people. Australia, the US and Greenland have the highest per capita of the mentally ill, so that's a problem in itself. India also has a large number, as well as China. Mental illness leads to many criminal behaviors, and as I mentioned earlier, guns can be made safer by keeping them out of the wrong hands. Yes, we need tighter gun controls, and those I listed need to be made immediately, as even Americans are real tired of the shootings.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:40:50 +0000I think you are going loopy. How can you eat the deer in your imagined mansion if you do not shoot them? Oh I forgot, these deer in heaven are the ones you have already shot. Is it only fish and deer that you so called God made to eat, no chickens, cows, pigs, etc etc.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:40:44 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:40:25 +0000as long as you think so, we are all happy for youThu, 04 Jun 2026 10:38:11 +0000Do you think a household (or individual) with 50 guns is a significantly higher threat than a household (or individual) with 5 guns? A lot of people collect guns or like to have a variety of guns for different applications or whatnot. And why did you clip my post? Again, I asked you to support your claim that: "Guns have been the leading cause of death among younger Americans (aged 1–19) since 2020, according to CDC data.", yet you never provided the data. I also asked if the data specified what percentage of the gun deaths were suicides, and you have not responded to that. I believe that you do not like guns, and would like them taken away from the people that do like guns, is that correct? Pretty weak brother Wait, wait, wait! "Other applications" like banging in a nail? What other "applications" would a gun have? And why would anybody own 5?!? 10-19 1,250 deaths annually. 45% of all youth suicides involve a firearm. Good reason for not owning one, eh—so your sprogs may live to adulthood? Overall, 44,000 guns-related deaths annually, 121 fatalities every single day. 35% of those—15,000—are homicides. Satisfied now that something’s rotten in Washington? NO OPEN CARRY! NO HANDGUNS! NO SEMI- OR FULL-AUTOS! Common bloody sense.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:37:20 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:36:55 +0000Not sure of your history lessons, BUT to anyone who is of SE Asian (minus Thailand) or British Commonwealth, this railway will always be called the Death Railway.
