We British are a peaceable and civilised bunch.
We live in a land where debate isn’t characterised by ill tempered exchanges.
A land where arguments are never advanced by personal insult or abuse but by intellectual rigour and the marshalling of incontrovertible facts, or demolished by equally rigorous forensic analysis.
The nature of debate is well illustrated by this Twitter exchange between Jon Snow, Channel 4 News presenter, and Geoffrey Cox, the Attorney General.

Damn, man, that's a little harsh.

Even I won't drink most that swill.

Although Milo's Sweet Tea is pretty damn good.

THIS is blowing my fucking mind.


Kentucky's new concealed carry law: Here's what you should know


Basically, we no longer require a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

This is going to bring about a bad mindset, you mark my words.

The If-you-so-much-as-look-crossways-at-me-Ima-just-kill-ya-cuz-you-might-have-a-gun-too kinda mindset.

We didn't need a permit for open carry, anyway, but this just seems nuts.

Kicker: We join 12 other like-minded states.

MP George Eustace this morning on the Sunday Politics South West show:


"Theresa May is an overdried teabag in a Poundland sale."

(Quoted from memory within minutes of the broadcast)

I hadn't heard of Mr Eustice but I find this on Wikipedia...

Quote:
Charles George Eustice (born 28 September 1971) is a British Conservative Party politician and former public relations executive...
Presumably not a very successful one.

An armed society is a polite society.

It's a bullshit bumper sticker

We're an armed society. How does that translate to politeness here? A polite society is a polite society. An armed society is a dangerous society.

The same way nuclear capable nations go to great lengths to avoid assured mutual destruction. The saying refers to a society where most everyone is armed so that would-be violent criminals are either deterred; or, violent criminal actions are stopped before mass casualties are inflicted. It falls along the lines of God created all people equal, Samuel Colt kept them that way.

But that's not important now. What's important is how the concept of a mostly armed society is reflected in our culture by music. There are lessons to be learned, how to act and not to act, from these songs that shape our emotional beings:

I Shot the Sheriff
Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)
Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia
Happiness Is a Warm Gun
Janie's Got a Gun
Don't Take Your Guns to Town
… etc.


The Cellar: If the thread topic is music, drift it to guns, and vice-versa
