Standard Poodle and Pomeranian=Good Family Mix? (Dogs)
However morbid this may sound, I wouldn't get a poodle until your first dog is dead. Especially when he's old (and 16 is pretty much as old as it gets for most dogs) he needs looking after and attention. He'd probably get very jealous... our dog would, she gets pretty paranoid about other dogs especially in her home territory. The last thing you want is for a dog to feel neglected or replaced in his old age. If I were you I'd wait a while :)

Gun control/i think i scared a few people
[hide=] [/hide] Nice, well put and very clever argument :) As for the bit in bold, though - the simple fact is, that people aren't using guns solely for self defence. If they were there wouldn't be 5000+ child deaths every year in the US due to firearms. Obviously people have a right to self defence - but no-one should have that right if they cant be trusted to use their weapons wisely - which it looks as though they can't. Plus, it's probably not the 80 year old ladies, or shy potential mugging victims who carry guns, is it? I am in no way attempting to criticise anyone, but doesn't it say something about your society, or at least what your society will push you to do, that you have to carry a killing machine with you to feel safe? That can't be right... :?

Greatest Invention
I've done non-electrical inventions :D Whipped cream. Who would have guessed? If you stir it for 10 minutes it sticks together... Other than that, there's this thing the Egyptians used to do to move really heavy blocks of stone. They'd get tons of long thin cylinders/rollers (dunno what they were made out of... not even sure if I've got the right ancient civilisation) put them on the ground, and just roll the blocks along with not very much effort. So simple yet so clever!

10 year old wife gets divorced after being raped and beaten
But it was her parents who forced her into the marriage... if it had been her choice, she wouldn't have got into that mess at all. I really admire her though, standing up for herself and trying to change things. That was a very brave thing to do, especially if it's common in her culture.

Gun control/i think i scared a few people
Sorry I feel the urge to jump in and defend my country :P The American Population - roughly 300,000,000 people. (Source - https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/us.html) The British Population - roughly 70,000,000 people. (Source - https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/uk.html) Therefore, even if you make up for the difference in population; 70 million goes into 300 million let's say 5 (I know, it's actually four and a bit...) times, multiply 19 by five is less than a hundred people. I'm pretty sure that's correct but I'm not very good at maths! Assuming it is, theoretically even if Britain had the same sized population as America, over 5000 more American children would have died due to firearms. Yes Britain is having big problems with gun/knife crime, 20 teenagers have been killed in the last year, but that's not very much in comparison to over 35 university students killed in university shooting sprees alone. Also the illegality of guns and knifes make it easier for police to crack down on. If someone can own a gun, the police can't do anything until it's too late. If guns were illegal in the US, they could at least attempt to stop the problem before it takes place.

Gun control/i think i scared a few people
People don't have this problem in other countries, unless 'rural' means really really really far away from the nearest police station I don't see why America should be any different. And hey, who cares about protecting a few possessions, if legal ownership of guns causes so many problems and so many deaths?

Gun control/i think i scared a few people
I mean no disrespect to Americans or America, (although I've never lived there, so ... ) but I personally would not be happy to live in a country where anyone could carry guns. As far as I can see it makes for a pretty hostile environment, maybe many people depend on their weapons. Knife crime is a massive problem in Britain at the mo, everyone's pretty scared about it. Knives are illegal, and there's been something like 20 murders in London since January? I hate to think what it would be like if they were legal... Again as I said, I don't mean to criticise, knives are no better, but if the below facts are true (debatable) it's pretty damning evidence... [hide=] [/hide]

Breastfeeding
Can we quit the two-sided arguments? I think you know exactly what I'm going to say. Sorry if I misunderstood, I'm personally not aware of recycling arguments...? :? But it people aren't disgusted by it, there's no need for 'empathy'. The guy who started this thread has got to be one of, well, very few... and whether or not what she was doing was right/wrong, so was the mother. I also don't really understand why you don't feel empathy for the mother... Not criticising or anything, but if you believe in true empathy, wouldn't be arguing pro-breastfeeding in public? As I said... sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick Turtlefemm - yours sounds like the perfect solution :)
