    There is plenty to see in the Tate Modern. It's absolutely massive and your snotty comment about it is both ignorant and bizarre.

    As for "Victoria Cross", is that a pub? :diacanu:

    London is the greatest city in the world. Despite its politicians.

    If you are talking about central London and the tourist hubs, London is up there as one of the greatest major cities in the world. No doubt about that.

    Its well worth a good visit. I wouldnt want to live there but i do enjoy going.

    In regards to so called "shit holes" while I've never lived in a large urban area, every place I've lived in with populations from 400 to 100,000 have had places you didn't want to be in at night. Or in daytime for that matter.

    Mostly youth gangs with knives? But I thought less guns would equal less murders? How about actions to target and remedy the cause of the youth gangs?

    What's that? They are mostly Pakistani and I've just been banned from the UK for hate speech? Wellp, that country is fucked.

    I've talked to people who have suffered both and they insist they would rather be shot than stabbed. Don't figure I would care for either much though.

    Anyone who cowers in the bedroom with a nightstand gun is a pathetic fuck.

    Public sentiment is running against you fools; you're scared you're going to lose your security blankets. That's the only place you might be right.

    What public sentiment is that? Last I heard, public sentiment was for more gun control...not a total gun ban/confiscation. With regards to the latter, public sentiment is running with us fools.

    Well, that's a different subject, but I don't think @shootER believes that. As for public sentiment being for "coming for our guns", public sentiment disagrees.

    Anyone who's been here long enough and has been paying attention knows what I think.

    You made the leap from "public sentiment running against" to "coming for your guns."

    Who's not paying attention?

    Just mentioning the fact that mostly Pakistani child grooming gangs have been operating in the U.K. for decades and the police seem to have been shielding them.
