Ought to be a rule

(What's this?)American rock star Ted Nugent has followed in Lily Allen's footsteps to be the latest celebrity to comment on the UK's knife crime problem.
However, unlike Lily, he's set to spark controversy with his outrageous views.
An advocate of hunting and gun-ownership rights, Nugent currently serves on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association and thinks the problem would stop if Britons were allowed to arm themselves with guns.
Talking mid-set during his gig at London's Indigo venue in the 02 Arena on Monday night, he said: "I understand that London has a knife problem. That's because you took everybody's guns away."
He continued: "If you had a f***ing gun you could shoot the motherf*****s with the knife. Do you need me to explain that to you dumb Limey motherf******? In Detroit, we don't have a knife problem. The knife motherf*****s got a Ted problem."
"'Oooh, he's got a knife, I'll pretend I'm from England'. [Imitates firing a gun]. Take that motherf****r. [Then pretends to call 911]: 'You might wanna bring a dustpan and broom because there's a big puddle of shit on the sidewalk'. That's what you call a deterrent. That motherf****r ain't gonna knife no-one ever again."
It's unlikely anti-knife campaigners are going to take Nugent's ideas seriously however.
As exclusively revealed in The Mirror today, one in five youngsters now claim they or their pals have been threatened with knives in the past year with an explosion of gangs being blamed.
Police figures to be released today are expected to show 25,000 stabbings were committed in England and Wales in the last 12 months.
LOL
Ted needs a special LOL CAT Ted
Hehe, well I never had issue with Carlin’s swearing either.
Nope, rocks are next. After decrying the British "knife culture", yobs and yutes are turning to rocks to bash people with. Some woman became a hero recently when she chased off the yutes attacking her husband. They were smashing him in the head with rocks, and she used the broom end of the broom to chase them away.
If she used the handle-end of the broom like a spear, she'd probably be in jail.
I have no doubt that the criminal element in England could use nerf bats as weapons. That means honest citizens would have to turn in their nerf toys to help fight the "nerf culture".
Ought to be a rule
Guess I should read all the article. I’m surprised he made it out without being arrested.
I'm writing in Ted for prez.
McAmnesty can go pound f***ing sand!
I wish Ted wouldn’t hold back and tell them what he really thinks.
Some great humor on these threads. Or is that ‘humour’!
I think it is a healthy mixture of mutual disgust, two sides each convinced of their own moral superiority, equally in love with lecturing the other.
Of course, THEY are wrong! :-)
On my visits there, I received the entire range of envy, horrified fascination, and the ocassional tsunami of feces where the word "Cowboy" was thrown about, to panic.."You have GUNS? What do you DO with them?"
"Anything I want, of course. It's a Colonial Thing, you know."
Swing door swings open in the fast food fun palace
Two pairs of eyes meet mine
I steel myself and grimace
Elbows against the counter they slump
Mean eyed
Po faced
No nonsense
Pre-pubescent pugilists
Terror tots
South London's finest
Knee-high nihilists planning nursery crimes
The Wimpy bar mafia
Nine years old
Macho
Murderers
Primary school but primed to kill
Or maim
Or terrorise
Size you up and slice you through with Peter Sutcliff eyes
They're into older women
Eleven or twelve's their favourite age
They chat them up as they come in
Invade their space like Space Invaders
"Oy Love"
"Want some chips?"
Then invite them home for glue and a private rendition of the new Exploited single
Or some other manic mayhem to make their extremities tingle
Soon they'll be old enough to bunk into a disco
But 'till then they'll stick to the hamburger hustle
A bang and a Wimpy
A Wimpy and a bang
The grim and grimy gangsters from the mustard and cress gang
Video vandals
Violent virgin vigilantes verging on the vindictive
I've been searching for the young soul rebels
Been searching everywhere
Couldn't find them anywhere
But here they are in the Wimpy bar
Right by Victoria station
I stand and watch them operate in muted fascination
'Till...
" 'ere, got 10p mate? "
Snaps me back to hard reality
And the half concealed glinting switchblade smiles with awful clarity
I give them 21 pence and they give me a hard smile
Now they've the price of another tube they're happy for a while
And in the Wimpy wonderland, the crisis kids run free
A bang, a Wimpy and a sniff and home in time for tea

Hear a legal audio preview of this legendary spoken word track here:
Attila The Stockbroker - A Bang & A Wimpy
We used to do the boxing thing from time to time in high school PE class. The teacher would pair us up by weight and we would have a go at knocking each other down. The lawsuits today would be in the billions.
Of course you have the obligatory liberal outrage when faced with the truth.
“... a civil respectable society has its citizenry armed.”
Remember, too, that Brits aren’t citizens, at least in the US sense of the word. They are subjects, without Constitutionally protected rights that are a hallmark of US style citizenship.
Also, things that are blunt are banned, and things that are heavy are banned, and things that are blunt AND heavy are RIGHT OUT AS WELL!!!
Well, lets see... that about cover it then???
***A little tactless, but true.***
When things are as bad as they are in the UK, you ought to drop the niceties and hammer the point as hard as you can.
That’s awesome
I received that definition in an email some time ago... but since you have now reminded me of it, I will add it to my profile page.
Thanks!
“Let the Muzzies have the damned place. The British deserve to lose it. “
Agreed. They’ve spent the better part of the twentieth century turning the country into a Socialist anthill. They’ll finish the job in the twenty-first.
That’s really good. It sounds like it would’ve been written later than the Seventies for some reason?
