Man, about the 2nd one I admire the technological feat aspect of 3D printing and the possibilities it may open for the future, but this obsession some US people have with guns is so hard to understand for many of us (no offence to US citizens in general).
I'm with you on this one. I don't even understand the appeal the guns make to other people, the people we know as gun aficionados, gathering round for shooting practice. (Sorry, gun aficionados.)

The ability to make a working gun is not exactly rocket science and anyone with a basic workshop and skills can make one, even out of plastic. The 3D printer just brings that skill any moron. Unfortunately, morons are not in short supply.
What?

Well, for sure, that's what I meant, I guess most of us have seen John Malkovich in In The Line Of Fire and that was 1993, but it's becoming mainstream and it's scary.

In addition to morons being able to arm themselves, it also means that any two year old feeling threatened by their gun tottin five year old brother will be able to arm themselves in preparation.  Should cut down the number of nursery school age shootings?

I'm struggling to get my head around the mere idea of a four year old owning a rifle that is capable of killing anything, let alone a human.

Who wouldn't want one of those? 
 
(I seem to remember the press reports saying how unlucky it was !  An Accident!  If you left a child alone with a gun with a bullet in it with another child in, this country, I don't think 'an accident' would be what it would be called.)

I don't think Alex Lifeson has been knighted.  But now that he's finally in the HOF, maybe time to petition Her Majesty?

As long as MU doesn't ruin itself and hires Mourinho. That would be a disgrace. But it seems the other guy will get it.

MU fans will have to get used to complaining about their manager on a regular basis like all the other clubs.

^True.

It is incredible. 26 years. Only in European football. In my country of origin if a coach lasts 2 or 3 years it would be considered legendary. That stability that clubs like MU or Arsenal (without ever winning anything though ) is unthinkable in other places. And so necessary.

They probably said the same thing in 1986 when comparing Ferguson to Busby.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Does any one really care that much?
What?

You know they do.  (Just cos you don't)
 
These are different times though, when Fergie took over and lost to Oxford Utd in his first game he didn't have the Stock Market to worry about (along with the debts of MU).

Do I know? I don't think I do. Do people really care if Moyes (or whoever) is managing the same football club in 2039? Or if it even matters?

Ah I see I thought the gap in your post meant you were talking about the MU management situ in general.  And there will be some who care (Mrs Moyes) and some who will talk about the possibility.  But care, is another thing.  MU fans I know are quite worried!  I'm a Villa fan and live in perpetual state of concern so I am glad they have something to worry about.
