"Allow cats to go outside on their own. I once shared a photo on social media of a gorgeous cat I'd seen in the street and a bunch of Americans jumped on me for not taking it home with me. I couldn't work out why they were so angry that I hadn't taken someone's cat but it was because they assumed any cat unsupervised on the street is either a stray or homeless. " Another very common practice in the USA is declawing cats. It sounds like the process just involves trimming the claw, but it actually involves breaking bones, and can leave the car not able to walk without pain. Just so their furniture won't get claw marks... | |||

"Play cricket Enjoy the services of the NHS Forego their right to bear arms We have a right to bear arms.Its just written differently in law,in the same way we have a right to drive a car for example." No, with great respect that is incorrect. In Britain there is no longer a right to bear arms. The policy of the law is that it is illegal to possess firearms unless that person has a permit. If you require a permit then it is not right. So British subjects can of course purchase say a shotgun in the UK BUT we must obtain a licence and the official reason for owning said weapon can only be for sport or pest control. We cannot own a firearm purely for self-defence. As for American citizens the Second Amendment states the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Of course the irony is the many of the powers that be in the UK that stop you holding a firearm for self-defence enjoy armed security for self-defence. It maybe prudent to add at this point we are as UK Subjects able to use REASONABLE force for self-defence so in certain situations this might include the use of a firearm. But I cannot emphasise the use of the word MIGHT strongly enough. It is a very grey area! | |||

No sorry we do not have the right to either drive or own a gun. A licence (that can be revoked) is required to do either. | |||

You have the right to drive a car if:- You are the minimum age You have the appropriate licence Are medically fit Not a banned driver Own or have the owners permission The car is road legal,taxed MoT'd and insured.

"Allow cats to go outside on their own. I once shared a photo on social media of a gorgeous cat I'd seen in the street and a bunch of Americans jumped on me for not taking it home with me. I couldn't work out why they were so angry that I hadn't taken someone's cat but it was because they assumed any cat unsupervised on the street is either a stray or homeless. Another very common practice in the USA is declawing cats. It sounds like the process just involves trimming the claw, but it actually involves breaking bones, and can leave the car not able to walk without pain. Just so their furniture won't get claw marks..." Yup, my wife has seen this too! Bloody horrible and selfish! | |||

"Say the words Route and Aluminium correctly Ah but to be fair the Americans discovered aluminium so its us who are saying it wrong lol Originally they pronounced it the same Ah so they got lazy over time lol" It was admittedly very briefly,I think the change came about as a result of a spelling mistake taking out the second i,a scientific paper or patent application,I can't remember. | |||

"Play cricket Enjoy the services of the NHS Forego their right to bear arms We have a right to bear arms.Its just written differently in law,in the same way we have a right to drive a car for example." No. That is incorrect. We don't. I shan't bore anyone with a dull history lesson but starting with the Disarming Acts of 1716, followed by the Act of Proscription of 1746, the Vagrancy Act of 1824, the Night Poaching Acts of 1828 and 1844 and numerous Game Acts (from 1831 onwards) and the Firearms Act of 1920 (itself amended in 1997 after the Dublane tragedy) have all had the effect of controlling the possession of firearms in Britain thus there is no longer a right to bear arms. | |||
