Happens due to chance? Sorry but, while I agree hardened career criminals aren't that way at birth but, there is a marked difference between a teenager shoplifting and doing similar petty stuff that is easy to intercept to work with so they don't move onto harder crime. Some people can't be...

Wow! That is really surprising. Laws for public safety that haven't really impacted those meaning to do harm while impacting average people in everyday life.

When guns were banned, didn't knife murders increase? Then various knife laws were enacted to deal with that too? I dare say, someone who is willing to murder someone else isn't going to be deterred by a law against having a knife. Sure, you may catch a few people before they murder someone...

The Uni Power Tank Ballpoint Pen has proven to be a winner for me for pocket carry.

I disagree generally with most bans. What you are alluding to is what happened in the USA when President Bill Clinton signed the Assault Gun Ban into law. After much rejoicing about no more bayonet lugs and flash suppressors, guess what? 5 seconds with a Hacksaw and Wrench, and a new butt...

I used the Purina (dog food company) Breed Selector in the beginning to find the right dog breed for me at the time. Later, I believe it moved to Animal Planet TV. What I learned was a Belgian Mellanois was a bad choice for me at the time. The German Shepherd had the personality and physical...

I'm not trying to insult anyone here in this forum. If you are from one of the abhorrent groups, that is a different topic and further discussion doesn't belong here. Thankfully most of the bad things I alluded to are bad things of the past! If you are a sympathizer for one of those abhorrent...

That looks like a Pico refill to me. Take it to a good stationary store and compare it to other similar refills from the popular brands. That's the best way for me to find a random pen refill.

Yes, as I alluded to in my comment about Cocker Spaniels. I am not saying users here are haters but, those banning entire breed populations are. If they can ban your dog breed, they can ban mine! The one most common in the USA is similar to the Michael Vick (famous USA football player) case...

In terms of the dogma used to justify banning dogs: I find the arguments used in dog bans to be generally similar to those used during segregation and "Jim Crow" laws in the Southern USA or, various countries' attempts to stamp out Native cultures; thinking of you Canada and USA. The tropes...

People should be responsible for their dogs no matter the breed. If the owner has a breed they can't control, they should adopt the dog out or send it to a shelter so it doesn't become a problem. If the owner doesn't have the time or skill to socialize and train a dog, they should not own one...

How much of the XL Bullies issue is related to the owner's lack of socialization of their dog and general training and treatment? Seems very similar to the Pit Bull hysteria in some cities in the USA. If your "pet" really can't be socialized and trained, perhaps it needs to be put down, or at...

Sorry but, I disagree with that. Something like a Sporting Cocker Spaniel and a house pet Cocker Spaniel would fall under the same breed restriction if they were banned. Both appear to be similar but, their personalities and drives are substantially different. My German Shepherd was banned in...

Try setting up your account on a desktop or laptop computer. Questions for whatever reason typically don't show up on my cellphone.

That is a good site for pens, pencils, and related stuff.

Lovely pens. Hope you get the nib fixed and get to enjoy it even more! In terms of shipping to the USA for repairs out of the EU/UK, I would consider using FedEx, UPS, or DHL for better tracking and insurance. USPS has been a bit sketchy recently but, I eventually got all my stuff.

Marks from good service to me show it has been loved! Hopefully, those battle scars aren't too bad and bring good memories of fun times with it!

What does one of those Yard’O’Lead Sterling Silver pencils run these days? American prices are literally hundreds of dollars. I get silver is expensive these days but, these pencils don't weigh enough for that to be a big factor do they?

I have their Pocket Pro and like it a lot! Similar in its ability to take lots of different refills.
