I didn't know that only the US, Belize, Palau, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands are the only places that use Fahrenheit for their official temperatures.
So the record in the UK of 40.3 is pretty unimpressive to us...and about 12 other people in the world. Well, a few more than that, but it would do well for me to learn a bit about Celsius and the rest of the metric system.
At least the Brits use one mysterious measure...do I actually weigh 15 stone?
Who thought that "gun-free zones" were a good idea? Apparently, both parties as it has been around for a long time, and although it was introduced by Democrats, it was supported by Republicans. It was a part of Joe Biden's "Tough on Crime" bill of 1994.
Since then, most mass shootings have happened in these zones, 97.8% is the usual number given.
Why don't both parties agree that this policy has only cleared the way for shooters so that they know that there will be no armed opposition when they start shooting? It doesn't work. It is like so much in the kit bag of anti-gun folks that sounds like curing drunk driving deaths by taking cars away from sober drivers.
It sounds like a lot of the provisions are simply being ignored now as many school districts have moved to have either employees or others in the school carry weapons.
The knee-jerk response on the part of liberals has always been to take away the guns. Let's start with guns that look like the AR-15 (remember, AR does not stand for Assault Rifle, it stands for Armalite, the inventor of the gun) and then we'll take away all guns (see the words and actions of the candidate for governor of Texas). Here is my question:
WHY ISN'T THERE ANY PROPOSED LEGISLATION TO
INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF FATHERS IN THE
HOME?
Even Obama said that the absence of fathers in the home results in problems for the kids, especially young men. But instead we are chastised for not using the right pronouns.
