So why you tryin' to screw up our good thing?
You were in the Canadian Navy? In the 70s? Fighting?
It was always thus, DB. I get your point about the drone kills. Watched a couple of pretty sickening documentaries about the use of drones. It is such an impersonal way of killing. No wonder some of the 'pilots' lose it.
Of course mass killings bother me, I would like to think we live in a civilized world
that is slipping away though. We point at America and shout look what is going on,
but it is going on in Sweden, Norway, France, parts of Asia and even Canada at
times.
The gun laws are not what they should be in America and they need to be tightened up
The real factor is this is more than about guns its about a mentality its ongoing and
a systemic problem confronting our very view of the world/
Mass killings are not the problem the reasons behind those killings are the problem
and unless we address the social issues creating the problem things will not approve
I am starting to wonder about my sanity,in an insane world.Once again i reminded my communication to the outside world must be limited.
I reminded my partner,my best friend, and my lover,"the TV must go", or something like that,I know i must approach this subject with careful approach.
I don't know about you but i am finding the outside world is bringing me down.
Before everyone goes crazy you must know that I know this does not exclude my obligations to my fellow man to be of good will and charitable donation,which reminds me i am so behind on my gifts of giving,this is a whole different letter.
I recall watching my blokes switching off their tv and all other forms of communication to the big bad world,as one friend stated,tv is like water,i was raised on it",the whole anticipation was the worse for them,making the phone call to have their tv screens go black was very frightening for them.
i recall how ignorant they were to world events,and this is what they preferred,so communications of world events was limited to happy chit chat.
another cure for paying attention to world events is being in a "lustful"state,i have friends dating who have no idea about world events.
they are on their own happy planet,being in a state of lust.
my partner is into sports,possibly with the choices of modern technology he may have his noisy sports channel.
darn rights world events are disturbing me,it aggrevates my PTS,i am limited to what i can expose myself to.
i can't wait to be ignorant to world events.
don't get me wrong,i love my world,i am making a happy world and already have a happy world around me.i find at times,it is too much information,and then feel guilty because i really control my information filters.Me too, but the world will find you like it found me. The damn thing is always butting in on life. Why can't it fuk off and leave us alone?
Damned if I know and I'll be damned if I try to know. Dog has a plan for us,watch for the signs.thankyou for your very interesting post, it makes me happy. Goes with the whisky and the wind. I see you live in exotic Alberta. I visited once, nice place, except for the people. joke eh![]()

funny!Good post Grumpy. Gun laws aren't the chief problem................criminals don't obey laws. It's probably too late now to correct the problems, one of the main ones goes back to Pierre Trudeau when the Charter of Rights was extended to criminals while the general population didn't gain many rights that I can remember. Add to that the availability of drugs today and I think that accounts for a lot of the problem. J.M.H.O.
As opposed to "traditional" aerial bombing?It was always thus, DB. I get your point about the drone kills. Watched a couple of pretty sickening documentaries about the use of drones. It is such an impersonal way of killing. No wonder some of the 'pilots' lose it.
