No shooting rampage this week so far

You are British, you are not well developed.
 
No, the moat's just there to keep away the French. If we could cut off France from the rest of the continent, we'd jump right back in.
France wasn't invented until the 1780s, and the moat was already in place by then. England, however, had already been there for a thousand years by that point , which to me suggests to me that the rest of the Continent built it to keep you out. :p

Well, if you put it that way, the moat was there when England was ruled by the Romans, who not only already had that moat, but then had to go build an extra wall to keep them fellers up North out :mischief:
 
I don't know if you meant to imply that Scotland and Ireland are the ugly sisters, but I shall choose to be offended by it none the less. :p
 
Scotland is the mad wife kept in the attic.

edit xpost and what about Clovis and Pepin le Bref and... all that? Bits of France flying about all over the place before 1780. (I have a very fractured view of history.)
 
I think all wars should be settled with a fist fight between the leaders of both nations.
 
by the way, DID get a week go by without rampages?
i think i missed some. :D

There was a shooting at a LA coffee shop....

atleast the cops didn't kill five people in five days like they did in Anahiem a month ago...the murderous "protectors" should suffer the same fate as a real murderer....

(EDIT and before you say I'm trolling I was beat up by undercover cops when I was 12 for looking like I had coke in my mouth...it was lays potato chips...)

You seem to want massacres to happen. Is there a particular reason why other than the joyous mockery and scorn you get to heap on?
 
What percentage of European nations took no part in the Bosnia war in the 90s?
When I say "European-wide",
"Hey lets all bomb this little nation (or mostly- make minor contributions while we watch it being bombed)" isn't exactly what I am talking about. Gangrape may concern all parties, but there is still only one party screwed. If we pick up your criteria, was the invasion of Afghanistan and later Iraq perhaps another small world war? A lot of nations involved after all.
No, I think the word "war" suggests a little more in such context.

Deputies in Wisconsin are responding to reports of a shooting near a major mall in suburban Milwaukee.

WISN-TV reports a mass shooting has taken place near the Brookfield Square Mall.

A spokeswoman for a local hospital says it has received four patients from the shooting, none critical, and expects three more.

A woman who answered the phone at the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department on Sunday told The Associated Press that deputies are looking for an active shooter.

I really dislike the ubiquitous term 'shooter'. It comes across as something you'd find in a video game. After all, we don't hear that the police are still searching for a 'stabber', do we?

But we do hear about rapists, abusers, stranglers, muggers, etc. Maybe I should just let it go.

Besides, I'm not sure what I'd replace it with.
