interesting/scary article on child gun ownership in yesterday's paper, how the NRA is targeting (ha!) children cos gun ownership is falling. But can someone confirm or deny the following 'facts', i aint so sure of the first paragraph
'The results of such a lack of regulation are stark. In the last decade, some 29,000 children under 18 have been killed by firearms in the US, making it the second leading cause of death in this age bracket after car crashes. That's a rate 12 times higher than those in the other 25 industrialised nations put together'
this just seems mental,
'Washington, along with six other states, has no minimum age for hunting alone. In almost half the states in the country, kids aged 12 or younger can hunt without any adult supervision'
rest of it here

My cousin's gf has a cat. Cousin called me to get a refferral to my vet- he tells me that this cat was in a bad fight a month ago- and hasn't been able to use one of its back legs for weeks now. Poor thing cant jump up, can't walk on it.. GF never brought it in because she said she couldn't afford to- but "maybe" if he finds her a cheap enough vet, she'll bring it in to get treated- or maybe get it put down- whichever is cheaper, she tells him. I asked where gf is now- out shopping with her friends, he says.
If she wan't afraid of me before today, she is now. oh well, cat has its appointment and will be treated by the end of the day today. GF is dating into the wrong family if this is how she treats her pets... she better hope my grandparents don't catch wind.. hell, I might tell them just to watch her squirm.

Hey, is it some sort of a Holiday in PommyLand today (Saturday)? There are no Coca Cola League One matches scheduled until next tuesday!!!
Next Big Match: ExcretiaCity faces The Bristol Rovers (aka The Pirates aka The Gas) on Tuesday December 1 at Memorial Stadium in Bristol. I'm wondering how the Bristol Rovers' Hooligans rate on the *Hooligan Scale*(10 being the most destructive).

I dont understand why Chinese is keen on learning English but rare speaking in this langugae. It is difficult to have the chat with the others in English even they really want to practice, which I can smell from them.
I tried to give some chances for anyone who is interesed in English or some other language to come over to talk in this language, but it turned out that there was nobody coming, even there were actually over 20 people showing their interests.
I drew back my post to invite people to come over for talking in English. I have no more interest to do such a thing.

or lack thereof.
after spending the last four-ish days with my family I wish I was adopted. then at least I would have some reason for feeling like a complete outsider all the time. am totally fed up. either ignored, or criticised, or told that whatever I say/think/feel/whatever "doesn't count" as I "wasn't there."
do you feel like you belong? I guess really I never do, but it smarts a lot more when you expect at the very least you'll belong with your family and you don't.
two days left.

Why do people put up these garish displays? And why do it so early? I know that the day after Thanksgiving is the traditional day to start, but even that seems too early for me. I try to hold off putting up the Kwanzaa Bush until 12/21, although usually I am over-ruled sometime before then. This year I've seen people start decorating after Halloween. Soon there will be whole streets done up in full Puerto Rican Christmas mode.
Thankfully on my street it isn't that bad, but it has gradually gotten worse. Today I came home to find that my neighbors, whose driveway abuts mine had painted a Charlie Brown Christmas mural on their garage door. They never used to do that. I suppose its because they have their daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter living with them since the SIL lost his job, and she is little girl who probably still believes in Santa Claus, but still it is hideous. And I...

lately, there is a lot of talk of cancer here on WT. I was talking with my family today and i found out that our friend, a 24 year old woman has few months to live. we don't know exactly what cancer she has but it started this summer when she was visiting her boyfriend in Canada. Suddenly - within a day! she got a big lump on her neck. Went to the doc here, they run some tests and told her its cancer. 2 days after they told her she flew to Poland. Did all the tests etc... and there is no cure. This guy's ex girlfriend had cancer too but beat it.
My aunt is dying of cancer in Poland too. My cousin's friend died a month ago. She was 40. My friend's boyfriend ( only 27 years old) had cancer too. In remission now.
I mention to my family about this board and how many people are writing about it too. What is going on? Am I being extra sensitive because i read about it here? Or there is ...

inspired by msdana´s thread.
How much are you willing to pay for your pet´s health treatment? Where is the point that you decide that it would be implausible v not acceptable for you to pay more?

with Christmas less than a month away and all
i've been thinking about what to get for my friends
the other day i stumbled across something
that i just had to get for my friend Niner, cause he's easy
i'm a little stumped though, as to what get for everyone else here
a gift should be personal and related somehow to the relationship we share
i've thought about this alot and decided on getting everyone one of these
hope you like it

I'll go ahead and start the thread to make posting faster. We'll see if this one catches on and the other dies out (but it can continue also with different themes).
First subject: movies containing film or video made by the characters themselves
