“Secretary of war” not “defense” a name change that will cost you 100s of millions USD as a nation - when they need to replace every business card and paper stating its old name and will have no effect whatsoever - the least you can do is show Hegseth the respect he deserves and call him by his well deserved title
OMG! That's like Cracker Barrel changing it's logo!!!

I meant “contain” ! And it is not 100 % correct - it is mostly in American movies etc they are depicted to do so - you are most likely referring to “Damnatio ad bestias” - and you are of course right it was on the emperors order - but it was actually mostly to satisfy the Roman population - just as gladiator fights were - and it wasn’t “people” that were used - it was slaves and prisoners (again like most gladiators also came from this segment) - back then those weren’t viewed as people
Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

Tbh I had no clue what you originally meant with your Roman emperor discourse - I am basically not better at English than I can kind of understand what you mean if you stay on course of what we are discussing - good for me that I can speak 9 languages fluently I suppose

One in Michigan and one in North Carolina both done by ex military ! Both Marines ? It reminds me of a statement made in a movie scene >>>
Hartman: Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was ? None of you dumbasses knows? [Cowboy raises his hand] Private Cowboy?
Cowboy: [stands up] Sir, he was that guy who shot all those people from that tower in Austin, Texas, sir!
Hartman: That’s affirmative. Charles Whitman killed 12 people from a 28-story observation tower at the University of Texas, from distances of up to 400 yards. Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was ? all recruits raise their hands] Private Snowball?
Snowball: [stands up] Sir, he shot Kennedy sir!
Hartman: That’s right. And do you know how far away he was?
Snowball: Sir, it was pretty far, from that book suppository building, sir! [the recruits laugh]
Hartman: All right, knock it off. 250 feet. [Snowball sits down] He was 250 feet away and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got off three rounds with an old Italian bolt-action rifle in only six seconds and scored two hits, including a headshot. Do any of you people know where these individuals learned how to shoot? [Joker raises hand] Private Joker?
Joker: [stands up] Sir, in the Marines, sir!
Hartman: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will all be able to do the same thing!
Sargent Hartman was correct in his statement!

3 officers dead 2 wounded by a man who ambushed them in Pennsylvania with AR15 rife…!
Let people own them and bazookas. Greatest country in the world, yet we might be the dumbest. Amazing how other countries around the world know how to write up gun laws for the good of their country, but not here. Biggest care for billy bob and his brother billy bob is guns. They are so afraid of life they dont feel safe unless they own their own cannon

Ironic that people buy guns for self defense. But households with guns tend to be less safe. Risk of suicide, accident or murder rather than stopping intruder. If equipping population with guns is supposed to improve security, US should be the safest country in the world. Instead US has the most mass shootings of any rich country not at war. Switzerland has high gun ownership but also tough gun laws. States with lower gun ownership and stronger gun control tend to be safer.

9 dead and many injured this weekend with the mass shootings, that has been reported at 324 of those this year so far, should average about 2 a day this year it is looking. Trump hate term is sure showing dividends as many being persecuted and killed. For a Draft Dodger he has no problem dropping bombs on anyone of color even though the little row boats he is dropping million dollar bombs on have broken no laws that we know of, and since every word out of the Black House is a lie would not believe them anyway.
Not a mention on news about the innocent people being killed in these attacks which IMO is brought on by the violent rhetoric of the so called leaders of this country,but the felon is getting what he wants, AMERICA BECOMING THIRD WORLD SHITHOLE LIKE HIS PROPERTIES. All the deaths this year but the only one the shithead mentioned was Kirk, what a leader he thinks he is.

After mass shooting, Australia government quickly implement gun reform. Other countries would seek similar solutions too. However in the US, nothing happens except Americans buy more guns. That is why US has the most mass shootings of any country not at war.

Or wait have a plane drive itself into the side of building...It always shocks me how mental illness stops shooting people as soon as you cross the border into Canada...
That didn't age well.

Under 5% of violent crimes are committed by mentally ill people according to American psychological association. Other countries have mental illnesses too, but key difference is that US has the most mass shootings of any rich country because of the most well armed population combined with weakest gun control.

Axios reveal that Trump administration plans to rollback gun regulations at the expense of public safety. Niskanen center found that deployment of national guard has no effect on violent crime at Washington DC despite high cost to tax payers. Since 2020 surge, US crime rates have been declining for years but Trump administration is trying to take credit while defunding local police.
