...under a high power moral microscope, we today would likely be goosestepping and saluting pictures of Hitler. When the breakout from Normandy stalled, Eisenhower ordered the carpet bombing of a path through the French countryside. Indiscriminate. In the news the question of Russia using low...

...ends. Why don't you go into full absurdity mode and compare Rittenhouse to an armed gang that stormed a perfectly innocent beach in the Normandy in the early 40s? It's simple. Don't fucking do it. The absolute best you can hope for is that every cop will pay extra special attention...

...part of the U.K.? I won't waste a Wiki to find out, but Jersey and Guernsey are surely missing from the list. AFAIK some such bailiwicks are NOT part of the U.K. (though they presumably have very generous trade agreements), but rather adhere to Her Majesty in her capacity as Duke of Normandy.

Soylent Orange -- the new survivalist cracker I'll bet the President was warned that the Normandy Invasion had a small chance of failure. Maybe he should have just said, yeah can't take the chance, fuck it and just pack up the guns and bags and go home...

...(or anything else) to where it was needed. I read an interview some time ago with a junior Wehrmacht officer who had been stationed in Normandy on D-Day. He was sent to assess the strength of the forces that had landed on one of the invasion beaches, and said that he realised that Germany...

some of "us" can.

You can’t take your gun on the airplane, either.

...comes to firearms. Owning a weapon that has a higher rate of fire and magazine capacity than what the average GI carried on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day? Yeah that totally makes fucking sense. Because some terrorists hijacked some planes with box cutter once, I am not allowed on board...

...the land in England, nor even a majority of it, though she does own quite a lot. She is the current Duke of Lancaster; But the title Duke of Normandy (which she also holds, amongst others) is recognised only in the Channel Islands. She's also not a descendant of William the Bastard, who...

...as monarch; it distinguishes between what she owns as Queen of England and what she owns as Duke of Lancashire and what she owns as Duke of Normandy; between yada yada and yada yada... Of course the government I'm citing still exists. You misunderstand. I didn't offer an opinion on what...

...of the complicated reality is theoretically derivable from it. (Note: not applicable in Scotland.) (And of course if the sitting Duke of Normandy ever tried to make her de jure ownership turn into de facto ownership then Parliament would undoubtedly change the law; but since she doesn't...

It's actually a fair bit more complicated than that, as I assume you know. But are you voicing agreement with this principle?

Under English law, all the land in England belongs to the Duke of Normandy, aka Elizabeth Lancaster, because she's the heir by primogeniture of an earlier Duke of Normandy, William the Bastard, who owned all the land in England by right of conquest.

Way to miss the point. It was an example of how being a solider and being a cop are very different things. And an average toddler has better kit than the guys who landed the man on the Moon. Time marches on. What's your point? Firefighters' job is dangerous because of an inanimate object - so...

...to know. Also have you seen the shit most cops are equipped with nowadays? They have better kit than the guys who stormed the beaches on Normandy. And if you are implying that the typical day of a police officer is comparable to that of June 4, 1944; let me be the first to call bullshit...

That was my thought. Laying siege is outside, storming (as in beaches or battlements) is occupying.

“Storming” apparently means something different to me. Good thing we didn’t storm the beaches at Normandy that way. Anyway, I don’t usually approve of protests at someone’s house, but this mofo is trying to take away the right to vote from millions of people, so send him a message every night.
