Nothing matters to you people. Literal genocide you're fine with because it's your team.

Jews and Palestinians. Don't play dumb, it's fuckin embarrassing. Almost as sad as when everyone quit pretending to care about kids in cages, which is still going on btw.

"I believe everything on CNN". It's been nothing but false equivalency, Biden is literally doing all the shit people claimed to be scared Trump would.

"fascist" doesn't mean anything deeper than "asshole" anymore if Trump is one and Biden ain't.

Pretend?

Reading the papers for years. You seem to think the Israelis were supplying Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon, instead of Iran.

Little nuance here, Syria and Iran don't get along, and Israel doesn't have any particular problem with Syria, they have a problem with a nominally Syrian area controlled by an Iranian backed militia. Syria will do nothing, probably thinks this is funny. Iran might.

It's already named after someone, with plenty of skeletons, Allen Dulles.

If she had got over herself, Sanders would be in his second term

Chances are they don't want to try this on someone with money for the good lawyers. Authorities never try the more questionable laws that way.

The difference of Scotland, Wales, and England matters to you and maybe the French. To people on another continent talking about measurement systems...well,,,I'm aware Scotland has their own passport. If you want me to know you're at at a Scottish gas station, say that. I'm sorry, but Scotland didn't run a giant empire for 200 years, England did. It's kinda funny you live in one of the very few countries the English never conquered and no one cares.

they look the same to me

Here's where it gets political. I learned about shot towers in passing years ago and thought that was a good idea. You learned about shot towers in passing, but then with a detailed explanation, still thought that was ridiculous. One of us is prone to rational thought and the other is not. This is a 17th century conversation happening now.

sigh. they usually are. I know that, you know that, most every trigger puller knows that. If I wanted a gun bro fudd debate, i''d post there to rile a pedant fury. You diagnosed or undiagnosed? Usually the gun bros don't know they're autistic as hell. I own a bar two doors down from a shooting range, don't even try me.

I didn't want to get into talking about reloading for a quick explanation about factory rounds. Factory 5.56 might be hot, might not, doesn't matter. It's just not generally a good idea to put 5.56 rounds in a .223 even though it'll probably be fine, 999 times out a thousand.

What it realy boils down to, we (and australia, NZ) still have a monarch, it just happens to be the same person as Englands. The office of the Monarch of the Dominion of Canada is not the same office as the Queen of England or the Empress of Great Britain though. To keep consistency, the whole thing has to continue or we just start over and the whole legal deck of cards is reduced to "Yeah we're a republic now, precedence is gone, straight force for the next while instead of tradition until the new fiction gets to be traditional"

a sovereign. Being formerly of the British Empire, everything is based on the same legal fiction as England, all power derives from the crown. Any laws that are passed in Canada are signed into law by either the governor general on behalf of the monarch or the monarch themselves. King Charles can literally get on a boat and force an election in Canada if he feels the government has lost it. They have generally ceded this power and only use it in a real emergency or upon the request of parliament.

No problem. There's always a reason, and usually a pretty interesting one, for old odd hold overs like this, but it's been 200 years since shot towers were a thing, only history buffs and muzzleloader enthusiasts really know about these.

I suspect that might relate to the smaller english/canadian fluid ounce and imports. they're very close, you only start to easily see a difference around 5 ounces. I run a bar in Canada, and i catch inspectors and suppliers constantly playing fast and loose with Imperial and American standards ounces and pints. Canadian law saws if you are serving a pint of beer, it has to be a proper Imperial pint of 20 ounces, from the big English gallon, if you call it a pint. you can serve any size you want if you don't call it a pint. i constantly see competitors passing off 16 American ounces as a pint. The revenue guys check that your dispensing machines are putting out an ounce but won't tell you whether they are using a Imperial or Standard ounce, i'm pretty sure they're using American ounce devices when they shouldn't be. Supposedly we're a metric country but liquor and cattle definitely aint.

Nah, he said he was in England. The Imperial gallon is 4.5 liters. Ounces are smaller (40 in a quart) but the pints are bigger
