    Lee Valley Tools "Reuse Your Shippable Boxes" Initiative

    Yes, it obviously benefits Lee Valley Tools by getting people to buy things from them, but it's also a novel and worthwhile way to do it - and I always have a list of things to buy there anyway plus my lady is constantly ordering things from "the swoopy arrow company": "During this pandemic...

    One thing in one of those articles did give me some pleasure: the photograph of the school torture centre burning.

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    Yet many states, including Georgia, are following Arizona's lead and initiating forensic investigations into the conduct of the last election and cleaning up their election laws. But that's another topic, and I also have things to do that I have been ignoring for too long tonight.

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    I don't see supporting slavery as a particularly conservative value - and Britain and Canada had already abolished slavery by the time of the US Civil War. Yet many people choose death over economic devastation...

    So what, then, differentiates a hate crime from a terrorist attack?

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    I am unaware of the Proud Boys killing anybody. If I remember correctly, their current or last leader is/was Hispanic. They began as a joke, and I do not see them as a real threat. The KKK, as I have said, are a creation of the Democrat party, which is not "far-right". Property may not always...

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    The majority, and many are not particularly devout - which is what got those three girls here in Kingston killed a little over a decade ago. They weren't "devout" enough to satisfy their father and brother. Yes. Other Muslims, however, do not. Islam is not purely a religion, like...

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    I am no biblical scholar, but I am pretty sure that that changed with the New Testament, with Jesus saying such things as "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and "Love the sinner but hate the sin". Islam has yet to make that change. Christianity is not a combined religious and...

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    I remain unconvinced about "far right terror", or deaths being the only unit of measurement. I think that media are all to willing to ascribe attacks to the "far-right" due to ignorance or to push an agenda. They often lose interest when a tragedy does not match their purpose. The number of...

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    Yes, yes, and yes. One thing that I have learned from meeting people during various travels and here at home over many years, and through historical studies, is that, at our cores, we are all - aberrant few aside - the same, with a few relatively minor cultural differences (which make such...

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    If we consider the global body count, the far left is w - a - y out in front. Communism has killed many millions in many places. In the US alone, Muslim terrorists won the trophy on 11 September 2001. I got back home from dropping my boys off at school to see smoke trailing from the first tower...

    Maybe. That has not been confirmed, at least not by this morning. He was apparently an airsofter, which could well account for items that "looked like" body armour and military helmet but would lack any protective capability. But I agree with your assessment. I don't see any political aspect...

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    WO Patrice Vincent was a member of 1 Wing. I was at work when he was deliberately struck and killed, and his companion, also a CF member, injured in a strip mall parking lot. We followed the story closely as it developed, through a police chase to the point when the attacker - a recent convert...
