Brighton is large enough to have a successful Premiership football club  :o  ???
Yes the Amex is not that far from me - we have been in the premier league quite a few years.
I believe they are making it bigger. We go there for NHS scans x

You know I was on a bus the other day and a man got on wearing a long flowery skirt, Green hair tied up with ribbon, but he had a beard. I thought if you truly want to be a women why on earth would you keep the beard as it gives different signals. I don’t know If I completely old school in all cases as I have heard of a few who medically speaking are in the wrong body. However I cannot believe that the trend is all anything more than just mixed up desires. Like the Tom boy who grows up playing with the boys, and loves boys games - they don’t actually want to be a boy, they just like being like them. It’s all got a bit out of hand, because we allow mixed up teenagers and young children to ‘ choose ‘ what they want to be. And as for ‘ them ‘ and ‘ these ‘ as titles - sorry but I just don’t see it, it he or she or her and him.

The world’s gone mad. I do see some weird sights in Brighton at times, it’s a very diverse city!!
This  woman might have been happier in a bigger town.  It's a rather small town, so perhaps  she had no friends and that increased the anger.  Of course, I don't know.  The CBC say  she killed her mother and stepbrother before killing herself. That tells us she wasn't happy at home.

Tumbler Ridge is in the next province to us and is about close to a 1000 kms from Calgary, give and take about an 11 hour drive. It's in the B C boonies and was built around the future coal industry but the 'greens' aided by Mr Suzuki got it closed down and it became a ghost town, and at one time the asking price for a house to sell was a top price of $10,000.It was rumored that people desperate to leave would sell for a 1.000 $.

Rita we do have for to some, to restrictive gun laws, but with compliance to the existing firearms act and especially in that area where hunting is probably the only 'sport' most homes would have weapons of some sort, it is very difficult to 'legally' own a hand gun or an automatic rifle.
Makes you wonder if Peters sword was 'legal' in his day ???
But with mans ingenuity for modification, legal guns can be made into illegal. And when registering your weapons came in, many did not comply but held on to their hunting guns, as the Ruby Ridge fiasco in Idaho cemented their reasoning. The 'official' report I think was made with the Auto Pen !!!!!!!! methinks.

I am 'old school' on the gender thing and at four years old I never had a voice on things but I did know I was protestant and a male, my dad told me we were protestants and Mr Atkins was a Catholic as he had fathered 16 kids. Gender not a subject to address around my youngest daughter or my grand children who aren't children any more.

What a roller coaster of emotions there must be, as a Pastor there, how to explain the situation redemptively will take a special anointing.
Hopefully the 'finger' of blame does not wag and a healing can take place.

As you said Rita, so sad.

Very unexpected.  How many miles away from you is that? So the shooter was a woman? Her motive isn't known yet?
I believe the shooter was born a male but was transitioning to be a female. He was 18 but started transitioning four years ago, I find that in itself worrying. Why is that allowed at that age !!!
He shot his mother and brother first and then went to the school. I read this morning that he was known to the police and that there had been a number of calls to the house about his mental health state. I also thought there were tighter gun laws in Canada ?

Very sad x
