Re: Gun culture in the US

I still find it very odd seeing people sat in bars open carrying in the US, don't think I will ever get used to it. I prefer living somewhere where the only time you would see a gun is at a pheasant shoot. For the record, this isn't actually normal behavior here. People who do it want it to be seen...

Re: Gun culture in the US

We send them little babies and they send back 2,500 hardened criminals who commit the sort of crimes we've never seen here before... This reminds me, it happened in Central America/the Caribbean during Obama. He had a really aggressive deportation policy, I think more than anyone else before him. H...

Re: Kids Book Recommendations

My son got really into the Percy Jackson books, starting when he was 10. (For anyone who doesn't know, this is a "young adult" fantasy series about modern-day teenagers who discover that they're actually demigod offspring of ancient Greek deities.) Reading some of them along with him, I ended up bei...

Re: With which TV/movie character do you most relate?

When I was a kid I went through this phase for a while where I identified very strongly with Cyclops from the X-Men. I was the oldest sibling, and I related to Cyclops because the Professor always put him in charge of the other X-Men because he was most mature, responsible one--but he never got any ...
