Supreme Court to decide whether to fuck over Uncle Albert

Bolded bits of interest.

Guess the ethnic background of the Texas man!

Now apparently they found coke in his house too, but the case seems to hinge on regular drug use despite the substance.

Ginger?

My two cents:
If you believe the 2nd Amendment to pertain to an individual right to own guns, but believe habitual use of illegal drugs absolutely means that you can not only be disallowed from exercising that right, but that you can then be criminally prosecuted for doing that gun ownership, you have rendered the 2nd Amendment a near-nullity.

Because that is indeed a slippery slope.

Why not habitual drinking? Why not use of certain prescription drugs? Why not any of a number of other conditions and terms that have nothing to do directly with whether you are a responsible gun owner.

Voting Republican should be on the list.

Actually wanting a gun should be pretty high up too.

Edit: this was originally start of a different thread, didn't realise there was already one.

Americans like to make fun of Australia because it was originally populated by criminals and lunatics... not realizing that their country has become one giant insane asylum with 340-million inmates who appear to be just fine with putting a certifiable wackaloon in charge.

Reconstruction was us sealing up the loonies, but somehow, they still got to have Congress-critters, and they used economic-chicken to rip the asylum gate down.

Dunno which thread was first, but there's a similar thread that should be merged with this one....

Didn't spot that, merged mine in!

Fond memories of the time some seppo on here was trying to rag me on the convict thing, only for a quick search to discover that the part of the US they lived in was previously a penal colony.

I'm prepared to forgive Australia because of Randy and Sammy.

You owe your continued existence to the purple one and his skinny companion.

to be fair, most of the 17th C colonists from Britain were also socially undesirable types... religious whackaloons and disgraced officer types in soft exile.

Plus inbred fools.

And there's the Trump admin!

Came here to say this.

Hell, at that point, people would choose weed over guns, even in Texas.

I assume you watched Ricketts Lane? Great fun. Also one of those examples of a comedy duo whose individual works are equally good.

Probably didn't make it into a recording, but Sammy J had a fantastic stand up show about his lifelong love of the Phantom comics that was probably my favourite thing I saw at the Fringe that year. Randy is even more impressive in person as well, in a smallish room up close you still truly forget he's a puppet and he feels real and is funny as fuck, especially with all the audience interaction.

And where is UA?

At home, smoking his joints!

Instead of taking guns away from potheads, we should provide government-funded security guards, cameras, and body scanners to dispensaries and other places marijuana users frequent, such as Taco Bell, 7-11, and Unemployment offices.

Who pays for this increased security? Just potheads? No, everyone pays.

Because everyone benefits.

Re: Australia, victims of deportation under the bloody code were not really criminals.

No, I was watching Muppets vids on YouTube to cheer myself up and Randy's Bus Stop skit popped up. Then the algorithm had me.

Only last month or so I became aware of Sammy too though, mainly watching the songs (Whoa Nelly is great because I have science projects on ponies - not Shetlands though - and lots of horse-lovers around here).

I've seen some of the sketches where they're housemates, assume that's Ricketts Lane? They seem to be part of a larger comedy show however rather than a standalone series?

Also the Oxfam Gala where they kidnap Adam Hills... he's probably the best known Aussie comedian in the UK due to appearances on Mock the Week and now his series The Last Leg on C4 which supports the disabled community so was fun to see them abuse him.

Shaddap you.

Mindless prohibitionist nonsense. If he'd just had a fridge full of beer, big daddy government would have nothing to say unless they actually caught him using firearms while drunk, which should be the standard. This is just another bullshit rationalization for eroding our freedoms, and needs to go the fuck away.

Sounds like someone has "too much compassion for shitbag criminals".

For the kind who aren't hurting anything or anyone. The kind who would not be considered criminals in a just society.

From the same guy who doesn't care about people who fled the Taliban after helping us getting handed right back to them.
You know nothing about what creates a just society.

You may fuck off with your "pay lip service to my pet cause in every irrelevant topic! " horse hockey.

Whatever dude.
Point stands. You don't know jack about what a "just" society looks like. You can't pretend people magically forget what a selfish monster you are from thread yo thread.

So it turns out Ricketts Lane isn't the sketches I'd seen, or if it is I've seen much older eps as the Ricketts ones seem to have higher production values.

I meant these:

You made no point. You just came mincing in with your "but what about muh immigrants?!" schtick.

Because it doesn't agree with yours.

"Selfish" in a strictly "don't fuck with me and I won't fuck with you" sense. The horror.

Like I said, the inhuman shit you spew doesn't stay in one thread.

No, because you don't actually understand justice. You believe in retribution, not justice.

You want to ban books. I'd call that selfish.

What fooking language are they yammering?

Point of order: Like the American continents, Australia was originally populated by the indigenous people. The Europeans were invaders.

If Trump really wanted to have America for the true Americans, and stop the invasion of foreigners, he would send all the blacks and whites back to their ancestral countries.

... Would that mean I have to leave France and go to Sweden? or Germany? or Ireland?
