I've helped black families…to guide them in the right direction

[Anubis]

Just noticed that Atticus Finch is browsing the FF. You'd have thought he'd be all over this thread.

[piscinin]

Sorry, I'm Canadian.

 

I get as balanced a perspective as possible, probably. Including the synthesis you recommend.

 

Whoops! In mitigation at least I didn't mistake you for an american!

 

What would you say were the leading online resources up there that provide a balanced perspective.

You're asking the right man. He'll certainly know whats its all aboot.

[piscinin]

You would have to try hard to hurt anyone else with bad teeth, and drink driving is already illegal.

 

And yet people still DUI.

I worked for a Canadian company for a while and was going to dip in my well of, eh?, jokes, but after already having insulted him, I thought better of it.

Cars and alcohol are readily available. Guns are not. You figure it out; I really am bored now.

[piscinin]

but the point of sugar is as a flavouring, alcohol as a social lubricant those are unintended side effects. guns are meant to kill people.

 

Americans may want their guns but plenty of people want plenty of things they can't or shouldn't have and that's no different.

 

The problem is it's a democracy so you have to convince those people to give up their guns. They won't do it at the say so of a bunch of politicians they don't trust further than they could throw them.

Nice to know walking home from 7-11 is grounds for being stalked and shot in florida

 

(if you're black)

[TheHowieLama]

Sheesh - I thought the football threads were full of dimwits talking completely out of their assholes.

Again "stalked" why not observed? A neighbour hood watch guy spots a guy hanging around in the rain in the middle of the night in a neighbour hood with a history of burglaries who fits the recent description of the burglars. So he calls the cops and keeps an eye on him and gets jumped.

 

Why didn't Treyvon just go home? He could have just kept walking home it was in the opposite direction to where Zimmerman was. Na he had to confront that cracker and get his.

 

Also the skittles thing is funny because we now know he was buying the ingredients to make purple juice or Syzurp as little Wayne likes to call it. Sweet child.

[Paulie Dangerously]

How did he see he was black in that light? Did he recognise the walk or what?

[Rex Banner]

By the way in that community there has been over 400 calls to the police in the past 13 months so perhaps George had a reason to be suspicious.

He noticed the "swag"

[Bjornebye]

Ban the gun

 

Ban the bomb

 

Ban One Direction

 

Problem fucking solved.

[setreal]

Stand Your Ground had nothing to do with this case. His defense was plain old self-defense. SYG applies to dwellings and vehicles not bus stops.

 

 

Apparently in Florida, among some other states, SYG extends to "any place someone has a right to be".

 

Either way, it's a disaster of a law for any civilized country.

[banger]

I always thought that the dead bloke was sitting on the Hispanic shooter beating him up when he got shot . Seems a reasonable outcome to me .

[Elmyn Noos]

Ban the gun

Ban One Direction

Because they have an asian in the band?? RACIST!!

I was discussing with a work friend today, is it ok to say 'the black fella?'

 

Like if you were referring someone to someone else, you might say 'yeah, speak to John, he's the tall guy with glasses over there...' or 'Mike, the slightly downs looking fella over there'.

 

I've noticed when it is with ethnics people kinda go 'Yeah, see Tyrone over there the bl-- uhh the fella over there'

 

'Which fella? Oh 'Tyrone', guess its the coloured fella'

 

Fucking minefield these days. Surely you can just say the black fella, the baldy fella, four eyes, beardo, dyke etc?

Pretty sure both of those are a no no, in case you wondered.

[Cardie]

Caught the end of the first half of the daily show today (so yesterdays show) where a black woman in florida has just been given 20 years for firing a gun into the air to warn off her husband under SYG.

 

Didn't catch all of it so some of the details may be off.

How about "the guy that looks like he can dance", or "that fella with the good dress sense". Second one isn't always true, first one almost always is.

Then get your gun and shoot at his feet for emphasis.
