From soldier to the world of tourism. I draw stuff, I read (try to write), and love most creatures great & small. Very much into history.
Jesus... smh... He would have thrown his freedom away. Australia is not America.

So what? Dude should have thrown his freedom away to appease the victims? Would you?
December 14, 2025 at 5:33 PM
Nah. That would mean getting close enough for the possibility of him taking the weapon back. And leave the good guy open to a possible assault charge. Manslaughter if he cracks the skull hard enough.

Yeah says you.

Notice how he did not deem himself judge, jury, and executioner.

This new plan is basically beefing up the backup for the backup.

Yeah, we do that. I was a reservist for almost 20 years. Spent most of it attached to reg force units. Done deployments. Some time in Germany. Lost a buddy in Afghanistan. Responding to domestic needs is done across the board for the CAF.

Canadians will not be forced to sign on. Not militarization. Defending the country is absolutely a Canadian value. America's the threat today, who will it be tomorrow? Goal 1 to sovereignty is being able to defend it.
The 2nd largest country on Earth; we currently have around 85,000 to defend it.

No, not the same thing. After the regular forces, we have the reserve forces, and a "supplementary reserve." This new plan is just basically enlarging the SR.

No, we do not share a border with Russia. We share a border two countries and a maritime border with a third. And Russia isn't one of them.

I was out earlier, and was almost homicidal.

He wouldn't sound any dumber if you laced him upside the head with a 2X4.

Why are they so obsessed with this poor guy? Aren't there bigger fish for them to fry?

You think owning a firearm is a human right.
You say disarm the police & the military.
And you say I live in ignorance.
Fuck... LOL

125 countries are party to the Rome Statute, but for the US, it's infringing on its sovereignty. Know what other countries aren't party to it? India, Pakistan, Russia, Israel, Turkey, Indonesia. The company you keep, right?

Has anyone tried unplugging him and plu-- Has anyone tried unplugging him?

He looks like a Vogon.

The whole fucking trump administration need's to be blown out of the water, or failing that, up.

Not a swamp. It's more like an open, percolating cesspit.
December 10, 2025 at 7:32 PM
Yup. Same.
