USA news & politics

[Tomma235]

If you asked 1,000 Americans what do you think of BBC, I doubt they would mention a news organization.

American goes to the doctor: Dr, my genitals have turned orange and I'm getting fat. Doctor : So stop sitting on the sofa watching porn while eating cheetos.

 

[ChicagoKid]

So you would have been happy to be treated like that

What did he do? Called him a mean word?

Don't quit your day job.

Punched him in the face. Again would you be happy with that?

 

[ChicagoKid]

Punched him in the face. Again would you be happy with that?

No. But he wouldn’t do that to me because he’s knows I’m American and I’m always carrying.

 

[Saintjay]

No. But he wouldn’t do that to me because he’s knows I’m American and I’m always carrying.

So if someone punches you. You can kill them?

 

[Welsh Exile]

So if someone punches you. You can kill them?

Hell yeah. Yeeeehaaaaa

 

[BrokenWing]

So if someone punches you. You can kill them?

Yeah, but you have to shout “OH MY GOD, HE’S COMING RIGHT FOR US”

 

[Tomma235]

No. But he wouldn’t do that to me because he’s knows I’m American and I’m always carrying.

You wouldn't be carrying in Yorkshire and having depended on carrying for so long you'd be on your a**e

I mean technically, in the UK you could justify seriously harming someone, even killing (to a degree) if you believe your life was at risk, it is allowed under 'reasonable force'.

Its just incredinly difficult to prove, and i doubt a slow, loopy Jeremy Clarkson punch would be enough lol

Is your military husband stationed at RAF Croughton by any chance?

Do you? On what grounds?

Funny enough, my parents met here. They were from vastly different parts of the USA, but England brought them together: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOD_Chicksands

I have a special assignment to assist in an upstart diplomatic mission in the UK that involves US-UK foreign relations related to RWC31.

I still dont think the VDCR should be applicable to you when over here, especially as a mere Liaison lol

 

[Saintjay]

Yes. https://www.ncsl.org/civil-and-criminal-justice/self-defense-and-stand-your-ground

Punch vs gun. Not sure it fits proportional force guess it would be one for the courts.

Looking at your laws it doesn't.

Or every bar fight must end in a shoot out, and I couldn't shoot Clarkson for punching me at work.

 

[BrokenWing]

I can only hear this in a bad South African accent.

Fortunately for me, there are a number of notable UK rugby voices helping us.
