Right vs Left
If a Rightie doesn't like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Leftie doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
.
If a Rightie is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Leftie is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
.
If a Rightie is gay, he quietly leads his life.
If a Leftie is gay, he demands legislated respect.
.
If a Rightie is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Leftie wonders who is going to take care of him.
.
If a Rightie doesn't like what a media bod says, he changes channels.
Lefties demand that those they don't like be shut down.
.
If a Rightie is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Leftie non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
.
If a Rightie decides he needs sickness care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Leftie demands that the rest of us pay for his.
.
If a Rightie reads this, he will pass it on so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Leftie will delete it because he's "offended".

Climate Change is now even less than the last over-prediction
Now, yet another of the nightmare scenarios mankind is supposedly facing, rapidly rising sea-levels, has been debunked.
Delft University of Technology has established that the predicted Arctic & Antarctic Ice-Melt rate has been overestimated by a factor of 3.
It now turns out that the original predictions were not properly corrected for glacial isostatic adjustment, the phenomenon that the Earth’s crust rebounds as a result of the melting of the massive ice caps from the last major Ice Age around 20,000 years ago

Those of us living near the coast can sleep a little sounder in the knowledge that imminent flooding is that much less likely.

You couldn't make it up.....
Two convicted ETA terrorists (1 x M + 1 x F) are allowed conjugal visits in their Cordoba prison.
It's worth remembering that they have 3-digit sentences.
He's been unable to make her pregnant, so now they are demanding expensive IVF treatment; and likely to granted it because denial would 'breach their rights'.
It will be Spain's taxpayers, via its Health Service that pays. [The cost sometimes exceeds that of Cancer treatment]
What a wonderful environment any progeny will experience.

Air lifted to hospital, but waits 3 hours in A & E.
British SuperBike rider Stuart Easton crashed his Swan Honda whilst testing at Cadwell Park, Lincs, today. It was quite a serious injury, so he was airlifted to hospital.
He then waited 3 hours in A & E for attention.
His team could probably have repaired his bike & ridden him pillion to hospital in that time.
