Regarding my tattoos of my wife:I have her face on one side of my chest and our two clasped hands on the other with the inscription " Until The Twelfth Of Never" beneath Them. I had some of her ashes put in the ink so she is with me for as long as I live.

Pretty incredible sentiment…

We’ve both had wedding rings tattooed in Bora Bora when we renewed vows… and each others names in an infinity loop done…

Never thought about ash of a loved one added into the ink…

You mean the same liberal police chief who is the brother in law of a liberal m.p. ?

The same.

Gentlemen,

Regarding the seven Like through Dislike icons users can assign to each post, I would love one more,
a WTF icon...

I do place wastes of time, pot stirers, and oxygen thieves on Ignor but I ofter have to open their posts to learn why others are being driven crazy

Perhaps this will work.

Agree.

I worked on Capitol Hill when the Dept of Education was being created. (SALT II treaty and DOE were the two major topics of the day). At the time America was considered the top country in the world in education. Last I looked America was somewhere in the 20’s. Taking education away from the states has proven to be a disaste

I remember those days........unbelievable what has happened since.

So sorry for your loss. That is heartbreaking to read. She may not be with you physically at the moment, but she is alive and with you in your heart, spirit, and memories. I pray angels including her watching over you will lay their calming hands upon you and soothe your soul.

For "some reason" I have the last line of the clip below in my head every time I visit this thread.

Apologies to anyone offended by the profanity.

A real stretch trying apply this statute. There is a world of difference between "intimidating" and "informing." The object of the demonstration was clearly to inform the congregants their beloved pastor was an ICE goon during his off time. I didn't see anyone in the video being threatened or intimidated. And the demonstrators didn't show up dressed like masked "highwaymen." That would be ICE tactics.

“Goons”, you are an absolute buffoon. You’re inane drivel serves no purpose. I have to this point blocked only one individual. You have earned the honor of the second. Your comments on things that take place in the USA are inappropriate as your anti American sentiments are ever before you. You are a bitter and ignorant old man who has nothing positive to offer in the coarse of intelligent debate. Your ignorance knows no bounds. After reading the insane ramblings of your comments I find myself less intelligent. I will now set myself free of your lunacy.

As I pointed out in my previous post the Act needs to be read in its entirety not pieces pulled out of context and cited separately. The Act does indeed specify that it is unlawful to intentionally obstruct, interfere with, etc. But before that it is SPECIFIC as to WHAT constitutes obstruction, interference, etc. It must involve PHYSICAL FORCE, PHYSICAL THREAT, OR PHYSICAL OBSTRUCTION. Everything before "obstruction" defines what is PHYSICALLY required to satisfy a violation. Everything after "obstruction" describes the who/where/how that's needed for a violation. Yes, it is all run together in one sentence which does make it more difficult for less astute individuals like yourself to comprehend. But surely you can understand the reasoning. First the Act must specify what is needed to satisfy interference, threat, and obstruction. I gave you the example of me farting loudly during the church service. The noise and smell might disrupt the church service but is it a federal offense? No. Similarly congregants have been known to disagree with a sermon or reading or some other congregant and express their verbal dissatisfaction during the service. I have personally seen this more than once. That may be interference but is it a federal offense? Of course not. In both examples no PHYSICAL element was involved. THEN the Act specifies the who, where, and why that's needed to satisfy a violation. People inside a church and worshipping. You cannot split one half the Act from the other to make a point (or fabricate a violation). Then you're taking parts of it out of context. Doesn't work. Clearly in the video no one is being shoved around or stopped from entering the service. The protestors did disrupt the service verbally, and while that was in poor taste, it does not appear to satisfy the critical physical element needed to satisfy a violation of the Act. Mr Lemon was asked to leave and he left. All of his interactions were polite and respectful. At all times he identified himself as a journalist. He knows the rules and it appears he was careful to follow them. Bondi's conjecture that he organized the affair to sensationalize something for the news was just that - conjecture. You don't have someone arrested because of an idea that pops into your head. It requires evidence ... and a real live statute to have been violated. This was classic Trump & Co shooting from the hip without thinking. And shooting themselves in the foot again.

The people who wrote this act were grappling with two sacred freedoms: expression and religion. I thought they did a good job drawing the line. Use physical force, threat of physical force, or physical obstruction and you've crossed over it. Other than that, you're free to express yourself ... anywhere ... even in a church.

Well, well. Nice to see you can put together such a "positive" response "in the coarse [sic] of intelligent debate." When nothing else can be said, you "conservatives" resort to name calling or posting childish memes. Like a bunch of little kids on a playground. Just what Trump would do.

Seven guys pile onto a demonstrator. Then incompacitating him with pepper spray and beating him with the can was insufficient. They had to shoot him ... eleven times ... from a range of two feet. Lucky they didn't wound one of their own in that senseless firestorm. And the other guy who reaches in the window and shoots the young mother three times while she's trying to drive off. For what? Barely bumping him with her car. She deserved to die for that? Really? And this isn't goonish behavior? It's not what I'd call professional law enforcement behavior anyplace I've ever lived ... which includes many US states. But hey, maybe that's how good Christians behave in Missouri? I haven't lived there yet.

A very comprehensive examination of where we are with Silver today. (I don’t appreciate the AI human). But I always enjoys his videos.

Investors have been caught in “Delta Neutral hedging trap”. The paper silver investors and middle man physical silver buyers have been hedging by purchasing shorts to offset physical silver price drops.

This video explains this trap very well. But goes deeper.

Ahh.., and here we have it. This passive aggressive question delivered more as a statement finally unveils your true enemy, OH. Christians.

Just like your boss, who was the originator of doubt, double-talk and deception. “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?"

Thank you for finally illuminating your actual position and defining your intent.

 

[Altitude sickness]

So hopefully you watched the video in post #69,050 posted :38 ago for context. He predicted pretty well what happened to silver . Now this video explains what he thinks is next. I wish he would lose the AI human

If you own silver ETFs dump them tomorrow.

Russia’s Grinding War in Ukraine

Despite claims of success in Ukraine, new CSIS data shows that Russia is paying an extraordinary price for minimal gains, with over 1.2 million casualties. Russia is also in decline as a major economic power with slow growth, weak productivity, and declining manufacturing.

"Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

You will notice the question was initially asked by a snake.

The videos posted above should be watched and taken with a grain of salt. They are obviously AI generated from knowledge that has been known elsewhere. So it should used to round out knowledge. Not be 100% of your intake.

Heck, it could be generated in China to spread panic. But it is always good to be armed with some level of paranoia and self preservation.

Regarding the Canada prohibited gun situation, anyone with an active PAL should have received the email from the Government. Note that contrary to what some have said, no one is asking anyone to list the firearms they currently own. The notice just says that if you own one of the prohibited weapons on the (extensive) list, you need to turn it in or have it permanently deactivated before the end of the amnesty period.

The notice also says that you have the option of turning the firearm into the Government, and you might be eligible for compensation in that case. (You can also choose to export or deactivate the firearm, in which case you can’t apply for compensation). If you do choose to submit a request for compensation, you can fill out the online form. The form was helpfully (!) pre-competed for me, since the now-prohibited weapon I own was formerly restricted, so the government has a record of my ownership. They have no record of any of the non-restricted rifles I own and, as I said, they are not asking me (or anyone else) to list those.

As for the Weatherby situation, things are a bit confusing. The government put an upper limit on the muzzle energy which can be produced by a rifle, beyond which the rifle is prohibited. Apparently the Weatherby .460 exceeds the limit (10,000 Joules, I believe). This was intended to prohibit guns such as the .50 BMG which the government determined weren’t ’hunting rifles’, but as usual, when you know nothing about your subject matter, you tend to get things a bit wrong, and other rifles, which are typically used for hunting, can be caught by the definition. But frankly, no one hunting any game we have in Canada would normally use anything capable of producing more than 10,000 Joules of energy, so I don’t see that as an issue for anyone contemplating a hunt in Canada. For example, a .375 H&H, loaded to the max, generally tops out at 6,500 Joules or below and a .505 Gibbs around 8,500 Joules (I think).

I would add one more thing.

Lots has been said in Canada about certain provinces refusing to work with the federal government on this issue, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, the NWT and Yukon, etc., as well as certain police forces saying they have no interest in dealing with these weapons. Statements like these, and the media coverage in Canada, may lead people who own now prohibited firearms to think they do not need to comply with the law.

Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no doubt that the criminal law in Canada is federal, and there is equally no doubt that regulating firearms ownership is part of the criminal law (as the Supreme Court of Canada has determined). So while owners of newly prohibited firearms may find that no one comes to their door to arrest them for refusing to turn in their weapons, they will still be in violation of the criminal law in Canada. If, like me, you owned a firearm which was previously restricted, the Government will know who you are and where to find you, now or later.

By definition, if you are in violation of the provisions of the Criminal Code and convicted, you are a ‘criminal’ and you have a criminal record, which is a particular status I have spent my life avoiding. If you choose to rely on assurances that your local police won’t come after you (for now), you run a serious risk. If, at some point down the road, the Government catches up with you one way or another (recall, for example, that the RCMP is a federal police force and takes its orders from Ottawa), you could find your ability to hold certain occupations, to own any firearms at all, or to travel (including to the US) are severely compromised.

This isn’t legal advice, but it might be something for Canadians to consider.

Yeah, like we have a crisis with home intrusions in Canada. Pfft! But it COULD happen. And my house COULD get hit by a meteorite. So I guess I should live in a bomb shelter? This kind of foolishness just makes us gun owners look like trigger-happy nut jobs. Something the antis can gleefully exploit.
