I hope the cat got a medal and lots of treats for her good deeds

ha ha! sucks to the neighbours! 😅

That is a great idea - encourages people to do good by showing them exactly what good they have done so far.

I wonder what America's constitution would look like these days if that had been implemented...

America better get used to this

I have been a living book. I told about my own life and the borrowers could ask questions if they wanted clarification on something. It was very interesting and the conversations with the borrowers were interesting. (I am from Finland).

So that their handlers don't leave them behind in the field - that would be endangering the life of a senior (and fellow) soldier

Good cos we see them as family too

Makes me love my xc90 even more.

But honestly, who would tell their boss they´re getting an abortion? This is a very intimate topic and I am sure for assumption of costs there are some forms to fill and some Becky in accounting that would gossip to others about it. At least that would be something I wouldn´t be willing to risk..

A cat, too. I sometimes feel like the hole in my life since I lost my little guy will never heal.

Haha true, I never thought of that

I can confirm, my father cooked more often than my mother and now I am doing the ironing :-)

Time to reinstate this!

I always say I’m a terrible liar and clearly lie about tiny things that I won’t get in trouble for just so I can get away from the bigger trouble by lying like a mastermind. Oh man, what did I do with my life?

12% who didn't agree must be the congressmen

They say, "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." Actually, that's not true. It's bullets that kill people. So I propose letting people have all the guns they want, but locking up the bullets. People who shoot animals claim that it's not about killing - it's about the thrill of the hunt. Well, go ahead and sneak up on a grizzly bear with an unloaded rifle, if you looking for a thrill.

I agree. But background checks will only work in a handful of cases. It's only the start of preventing gun violence. The real problem is our healthcare system & lack of affordable healthcare. People also don't lump in gang violence as a gun issue when we talk about gun control & background checks. Which the majority of gang violence will not be prevented by background checks since most guns being used by gang members are illegally obtained from the black market. It also doesn't prevent people dying & leaving their guns behind to family members who shouldn't have them. The next issue is poverty & systemic racism.... people in gangs & such usually get involved in these things because they need money to survive & the racial discrimination in the US makes it that much harder for POC to get ahead in life. POC don't have the same opportunities as white folks. So yeah. Background checks is a start but it's not going to prevent the majority of gun violence.

While it sounds good in theory the fundamental flaw of universal background checks for private sales they simply cannot be enforced. A private sale is by definition, private. If a person privately selling/transferring a firearm does NOT perform a background check (or just refuses), who but the buyer & seller know a transaction took place? There is no magic device at BATF HQ that sounds an alarm when a background check is NOT performed. How can you enforce a law when you cannot even tell when it's broken?

Government by the people and for the people where are you?

Except for the politicians who won't do their job, which is to represent what their constituents want.

Background checks&licences&a reason for having a hi calibre gun in the first place,that's probably a good idea too

why the hell does it never get done then ? if its the will of the people it should happen

Well duh. I don't believe guns should totally be taken away (The government can never be trusted, I think everyone can agree they're all liars) but to give a gun to someone with a history is just dumb

they should investigate the 12%

yes, and there are background checks that already happen... People like to forget that

It doesn't matter what the people want, it only matters what the gun manufacturers want. The name of the game is capitalism and money is the only thing that matters.

Absolutely agree.

The idiot Americans stand out, they're the ones America's known for. Some Americans actually have common sense

Can someone please explain for non Americans. Are there not mandatory background checks for every gun purchase?

Note to self: need to work on this!

I‘m glad I‘m not a seahorse. I can barely manage to walk in the morning.

I hope they got the memo about it being 'in video games'

Cos it's all c**p

So they were being spied on then...

...as any cat owner knows only too well

I concur couldn't live anywhere but the coast

Shame we didn't. We're the cancer cells of the Earth's body

Your so wrong about this.

Did you know? Tony Soprano used to get a lot of calls from real life "wiseguys". Someone once called to criticize him for wearing shorts in the show. "A don never wears shorts," they said. Tony never wore shorts after.

They'd passed their use-by dates.

Yet Evangelical Christian cowboys rode dinosaurs.

What is beer but fermented carbs?

That's why medicinal marijuana exists right?

Without a doubt.

As it should be done. In all fields of work.

The Spanish are onto something...
