Macron has a new take on French war aims during WW1.
Contrary to everything you may have heard or read, it was a civic-national war. One devoid of nationalism and pesky issues like
post 1870 Revanchism and Alsace-Lorraine, lost of colonies and increasing requirement to claw economic reparations.
I really trust this guy.
He said the millions of soldiers who died in WWI fought to defend the “universal values” of France, and countries should reject the "selfishness of nations only looking after their own interests. Because patriotism is exactly the opposite of nationalism."
So if you have used cannabis legally in the US you can be refused ownership of guns? https://www.kmbc.com/article/medical-ma ... s/24935498
Apparently it's OK to be an alcoholic and own guns but not if you have ever used weed.
According to an open letter released in 2011 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, known as the ATF, federal law prohibits anyone who is an “unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” from shipping, transporting, receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition.
It sounds like the ATF is going to be busy taking guns away in marijuana legal states? Has the NRA chimed in on this one?

I haven't heard of this being an issue in other states. Yet. Quite a troubling development, and it would be a political disaster to enforce on a wide scale, but it really depends on the AG and head of the ATF.

What are the national values of cheese-eating surrender monkeys?

Dunno, but I did hear that the French soldiers who fought in Africa could be identified by their sunburnt armpits.

But surely you wouldn't be an "unlawful user" in a legalized state?

Yes you can, because pot is still illegal everywhere according to federal law.
This is why getting a medical cannabis card may not be a great idea.
Just got our solar PV installation completed. 10kW for $23K, but with the insane rebates we get (net metering in WA state, rebate for panel produced in WA state, 30% federal income tax deduction next year) we'll be paying just $6.9K. Payback time will be around three years, because we have the same energy utility at both our US properties we can apply excess power generated by solar to the non-solar property at 100%, rather than the somewhat ungenerous buyback rate the utility offers. Plus it adds around $15-17K of value to the property, so overall it's a crazy win for us.

You've just besmirched an innocent man. (Presumably on all counts).
But what we actually have here is an interesting, secretly recorded, conversation with a major NGO (Advocates Abroad) based out of Lesbos. 380 staff, they have “assisted” 15,000 refugee claimants in Greece with legal aid.
This is hardly uncommon, certainly well known within Australia's Immigration Department. If you want to know the absolute worst decision made by the current government, it's outsourcing the Visa interviewers. These were Immigration Department staff, and one of their primary functions was weeding out coached claimants. The scope for corruption has dramatically increased with outsourcing.

I was toying with the idea of doing something similar years ago. However, I am under the impression that not only are the costs double, but the incentives to do so are rather lacklusster.
Relax, as soon as the coastal BC postal workers recover from the interception of all the cannabis deliveries and the inevitable munchie torpor they will be back to actually bringing our mail.
Hopefully.
Three Melbourne men have been found guilty of plotting a Christmas terror attack at major city landmarks in a jihad-inspired plan to inflict mass carnage.
It can now be revealed Ahmed Mohamed, 26, Abdullah Chaarani, 28, and Hamza Abbas, 23, were on November 2 found guilty of conspiring to plan or prepare for a terrorist act, after a Supreme Court jury deliberated for six days.
The verdicts were suppressed from when they were announced, following an application by lawyers for two of the men. Justice Christopher Beale later ruled the verdicts should be reported, however defence lawyers challenged the judge's decision at the Court of Appeal. The reasons behind the suppression cannot be reported.
I’m sure there was an excellent reason why the defence would want the ruling suppressed. Looks like we will never know.
To be fair, this isn't "the police" but Stonewall albeit in conjunction with a police officer and a Police and Crime Commissioner. It has logos of police associations on it. I don't know what level of endorsement this implies.
Those of you who follow academic life will be aware of 'predatory journals' that will publish anything at all if you pay them. Combine that with JBP's statistic that the vast majority of humanities papers never get cited even once, and you realise that the CVs of many academics are inflated with lists of publications that are worthless. Should you happen to be a tenured professor who cares about the reputation of your university, you might be tempted to enquire into this and discover the extent to which your own institution's reputation is hollow.
A Bad Idea, as it turns out. An economics professor has been suspended and banned from campus for publishing, in a proper peer-reviewed journal, research showing 50% of his colleagues have bought their standing by publishing in pay-to-publish journals (this is an embarrassment that PZ has avoided by the ingenious method of simply not publishing). I'm looking forward to the legal denouement of this case, which his university has so far managed extremely poorly.
The British always come out with this kind of bollocks. "A beautifully British cat and mouse game". What the fuck is so British about it? It's just a director switching shots, what are supposed to believe would happen differently anywhere else in the world? Honestly, it's such a fucking small-minded little country filled with people who think they're special and unique. Like that British Problems bollocks which does the rounds every so often. "Holding a door open for someone and they don't even offer you a biscuit as thanks. #UniqueBritishProblems #CupOfTea #WhyAreWeSoUniqueAndCrazyLOL #HappensLiterallyEverywhereYouFuckingMorons" And if any cunt starts coming out with that "but we're an island nation so we're totally different and unique to everyone else" bollocks they can cunt the cunt off, the cunts.

I am rarely of a mind to brook much mockery of mighty blighty, but I wholeheartedly agree with this. It's just so fucking twee. You get tons of this shite on twitter: #awfullybritishthisthatandthefuckingother. It's horrible, because it makes Britain seem like a real life version of Love Actually, a film which must be burned, flayed, utterly dismembered, disintegrated, dug into a salted earth and have the plot used as a gypsy latrine. I loathe that film, because it's the very embodiment of sodomically evil tweeness.

I await Kristi Winter's opinion on this issue with much popcorn to hand.
I'm not opposed to the idea of the UK leaving the EU on principle, but there were no realistic plans about what to do, which deals to draft, which choices to make.
The best case scenario with pushing Brexit was for the UK to negotiate an EFTA membership deal similar to Switzerland or even to Norway. Basically a series of bilateral agreements on common trade and movement of people which mean more autonomy from EU decisions but also pragmatic solutions that don't damage trade or the movement of goods and workers between the EU and the UK, especially in Northern Ireland.
A precise roadmap to Brexit would have helped, even more so if it had been available for the citizens to decide BEFORE the referendum, to keep several options open.
Instead the referendum was merely a "yes/no" question, and no one in the pro-Brexit leadership made it clear what was that the UK actually wanted. They decided to bargain without even having an idea of the stakes. The political talking point became a matter of virtue-signalling British independence. This is the result.

The same approach is planned for the Oz Republic.
Last time they conflated the “should we” with the “how to” and we all realised they didn’t have a clue. The referendum was voted down.
Next time it will be a wedge approach.
First up it will be a simple “conceptually yes or no”. Having locked that in we we will work out the detail. :cdc:
It’s a standard leading the horse trick everyone uses in the workplace to get “difficult” initiatives over the line.
Wynyard Station is one of our two big CBD commuter hubs. The other isnTown Hall with its focus on mandarin.
It’s amusing that they thought it cool at Wynyard to meet the human herds with an NPC wall. What’s not obviously creepy from the pic is that the figure slowly and aimlessly sit down, stand up and wander about like zombies.
Carrier can refile in a different state(s) so unless he is out of money it may be too early to count the spunky little scholar down for the count.
Who knows , he may have had some big book sales recently. :drool:
It doesn't look like he's addressed this on twitter or his blog yet so all me not yet lost.
She hasn't got a mandate for 'No Brexit' We have triggered article 50 and it was voted into law by parliament, the only way it can be stopped is by taking the decision back to the country, either via another referendum or by calling a general election with a no Brexit on the manifesto both of which would have to be ratified by parliament.
She won't get this deal through the house with both hard Tory remainers and hard Tory Brexiteers now pledging to vote it down, even with her cabinet backing she will need labour and the DUP which she won't get.
The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg tweeted this earlier, what she refers to with "Letters going in" are letters of no confidence in their leader to the regulatory body of the Conservative party 'The 1922 Committee' 48 letters will trigger a vote of no confidence and would start a leadership challenge. She could be gone by the end of the month. Don't hold your breath though as the Tories have been threatening this all summer and consistently bottled it.
Oh and Kirb, we are in this mess because of Theresa May, not the 17.4m who voted to leave the EU. She has been utterly weak and spineless in her negotiations and has reneged on her Mansion House speech promise to honour the referendum.

I'm counting on the fact that Carrier is tenaciously stupid enough to soldier on in the face of all reason. This, after all, is a bloke who dumped a perfectly good missus so he could fuck lots of fat, weird and vindictive SJW chicks, then went on to blithely proclaim that to do otherwise would be a moral failing. Never underestimate the ability of the terminally imbecilic to just. never. stop.

Fuck's sake mate, ignore. Bad enough we've had Kirb and Brive go on interminably about this civic nationalism whatever bollocks; last thing we need is Kirb adding to the foetid mix with numinous walls-of-test proclaiming his lofty understanding of why Brexit is apparently so shit.

He'd have to have deep pockets and a compelling reason to believe in a different outcome. It is a sad day, so many lulz ripped from the womb and left on a courtroom floor to expire. Poor Carrier must be feeling bereft of hope. It's unfortunate that he has me blocked so I can't console him, the sad little fella.

IANAL (although I am not anal) but my read was that the ruling rejected the venue and didn't make a judgment about the merits of the case and if he wanted to and was able he could refile somewhere else. Mind you, I skimmed and didn't read the whole document so I could be mistaken. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c6f805 ... bhx-j/view
