JohnRich 4 #1 September 11, 2009 News:Samurai swords banned A ban on Samurai swords comes into effect from today. The order, brought in by Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern as part of measures to tackle knife crime, makes the sale, importation, purchase or possession of the swords illegal. Those caught with the weapons could face up to seven years in prison. The ban does not apply to hand-carved swords made before 1954.Source: http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0901/samurai.html That should take care of all the ninjas running around committing crimes on the streets of Ireland! The following images will no longer be allowed in Ireland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #2 September 11, 2009 The movie Kill Bill proved that only hot chicks should be allowed to carry or pose with swords. It calls for an immediate ammendment: ... and no person shall own or carry an edged weapon longer than 40 centimeters, unless you are a female AND very, very hot, in which case, you may only unsheath your weapon if you are wearing clothing that bares at least 70% of your body.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Andy9o8 2 #3 September 11, 2009 They are not "Samurai" swords. They are the Katana and the Wakizashi. And if people don't know the difference between a Samurai and a ninja, the discussion is pointless, just pointless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It calls for an immediate ammendment: Based on this amendment, most people in Kill Bill should not be allowed to carry a sword.

georgerussia 0 #5 September 11, 2009 Quote They are not "Samurai" swords. They are the Katana and the Wakizashi. And the news picture for "banned samurai swords" seems to show katana (may be wakizashi as the full length is not visible, but unlikely). I wonder if Ireland Minister of Justice knows the difference. It also sounds quite useless to ban only a single type of a sword.* Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. * Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

georgerussia 0 #14 September 12, 2009 Quote Ummm... Didn't you notice the piano player in the chapel???His name was Rufus. This is probably from part 2, which I didn't see. If Jackson was in part 1, then there would be two hot actors. But Thurman??? Not even close. I mean, c'mon, half of Russian ladies have similar body, and another half is much better. She could only be considered hot if you consider hot everything which is just not fat - and this is definitely not enough. So my vote goes to Samuel Jackson.* Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. * Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having a short look back at previous conversations, it does not seem like you ever needed a passport. As you never left your borders (Texas). Okay, Fräu, why don't you tell us specifically how you think I'm ignorant about Ireland from this thread conversation. Is it not true that Ireland has banned samurai swords? It's time for you to deliver some substance to back-up your childish taunts. Do you have any? And once again, you know nothing about my travels or my passport status, so you really have no business commenting upon them. All this does is demonstrate that you like to run your mouth without actually knowing what you're talking about, Fräu. In other words, put up or shut up. You should hook up with mpohl - you two seem to be cut from the same mold, with a lot in common. So, what do you think about Uma Thurman? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
