Need to arm the dead with AK47's to protect their loved ones
Best being part of this forum by placing the intellectual challenged on foes list. A lot less post to read and a great time saver.

Doors? The gun advocates are bananas.

My biggest concern about the US is 2024 and Trump. A President Trump (or Cruz) would be catastrophic for mitigating climate change.

I thought he ran against Trump last time? I think I recall Trump pushing these points: Lyin' Ted is liar, Ted's wife is ugly and Ted's father was involved in the assassination of JFK. If Cruz can't run, great. The seditious Trump should have been barred from running too.

I don't think you have yet mentioned the Texas fugitive who killed a grandfather and 4 grandsons? Another awful crime. I don't think a door could have stopped that one.

in your bitter and twisted mind mercenaries were from England. the east india company paid anyone to be a mercenary.
No , actually that's not true . the british east india co. employed all british officers and largely colonial british subjects from india as footsoldiers

all the directors were british , all the investors brits
it enjoyed charters and finance from the crown. it
was a british operation , from start to finish

why the facade over the supposed private corporate structure. when their latin motto " under command of ki*g and parliament of england " said it all

I think I recall reading the British in effect stole $1 trillion from India. Presumably in today's money. I think the trillion would largely have been taken according to law (e.g. taxes, levies, tariffs etc.) although the subsequent suffering must have been dreadful. I'm not saying modern Britain behaves likes this. Queen Victoria was buried long ago. If New Zealand was settled far earlier, we'd probably have been bastards as well and helped with the plundering.

You need to wiki your google more. Cruz became a full Sherman and gave up his rights to Canuckism in 2016 while seeking the Republican nomination. Although a court ruled that he could have still ran for POTUS as a dually (his mom was a purebreed), he did the deed ostensibly to counter those annoying "birthers" within the GOP ranks. Then he got cold feet and the rest, etc., etc..

yes , i read that somewhere also. was jamaica that different? when william& kate went visit i think they were presented with a letter asking

for reparations. and explaining they would be treated politely but after generations of exploited
slave labor, they shouldn't expect pomp&heraldry

The << mass shooting>> expression is way over used, i would suggest that it should be reserved for shootings resulting in 42 or more deaths.
Have a safe day.

Why not make it 50 and reduce the number of mass shootings even more?

What will the Nigerian Government do about this, Doodoo?

Hope this helps,

Possibly.

Love to get your thoughts on capitalisation, paragraphing, punctuation and grammar. 👍
