I was under the impression that UK citizens dont need US visa.

Nope - only if you're coming in from our southern border do you not need a visa.
|

They don't need visas, but somehow they must have crossed the border without checking in. That's not easy to do, but there isn't a lot of traffic in this area, so there might be crossings that aren't staffed 24x7.

In Norway, we also hunt deer, partially because there is not enough food for them all (so they find a lot of food in cultivated farmland - in some areas, it has been claimed that half the crop is eaten by deer!), but also because the meat is popular - and the hunting is popular! (Norway has about the same gun density as the U.S, but we aim the weapons at animals.)
Close to fifty thousand deer was shot last year. These are of the bigger deer variants, according to Wikipedia: 'Red deer' (the Norwegian name is 'hjort'), females typically 160 kg, males 250 kg.
However, we do not plan to extinguish them. We don't want to extinguish any species belonging to the native, Norwegian fauna. If a species is endangered, hunting will not be allowed. Widespread hunting for food is permitted only if there are plenty of animals, and the red deer population is estimated to 200-250,000 and growing. We also have a comparable number of moose ('Elg'), about forty thousand are hunted every year, but each animal is larger, males typically 4-500 kg.
Hunting is strictly regulated here: Authorities specify the maximum number of males, females and calves each hunting team is allowed to shoot, to ensure that the population is not eradicated and does not grow out of control.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Some say that if you speak a cat's name three times in the night ...

And knock something over and break it.

Under normal circumstances, cats never respond to their own name - it sets a precedent they don't want to get involved with ...

Yup. Broke the alarm clock twice, in half a year.
Can't have candles or plants either.

During my time (old man yelling at cloud here) I'd like to think journalists were at least trying to educate us... But this was on my Bing headlines page...
'Time Traveller' Predicts Aliens Will Land On Earth On December 8 This Year
Is it the algorithm trying to brainwash me into, err, I dunno something, or really the kind of big headlines that inundate news? Although.. it does sound distinctively like a typical American right wing news headline, come to think of it!

Made me click, which might have been the point. 
Most journalists have stopped trying to educate us and are now trying to indoctrinate us. They no longer merit the title. Propagandists would be more appropriate.

Haha... someone (or something?) probably realize the error of making this a main headline, haha!

I agree. Click on one site's link and they tell how to think like a typical left wing wacko, click on one from a different site and it tells you how to think like a typical right wing wacko.
But, the one thing we can absolutely know about either site is that all they are really trying to do is to get you to buy a Tide Pod.

I think the first thing we (and the media especially) need to do is drop "right" and "left" labels.
They're polarizing and rarely cover the subject.
For example, we have this "right-wing" politician, Wilders, you might've heard of him.
His main policy is to stop immigration and to "de-Islamify" our country, so naturally he's far right.
The thing is though, that's his only "right" item on the agenda, economically and socially he's as "left" as can be.
"The right believes the elections have been hacked."
That's not "right", that's conspiracy thinking (as long as there is no evidence anyway).
"The left bomb new movie for lack of diversity."
That's not left, that's a group of "woke" people, often more "facist" (considered extremely "right") than "left", who've made it their hobby to find racism in everything (which is racist in itself, really).
Thing is, it's not left, or maybe so far left it's right again, I don't know.
I do know there are plenty of "left" people (probably most of them) who are really tired of "wokism".
Left and right used to mean something, although I don't think there's a strict definition.
To me, the left is for a government that regulates markets and wealth, and right is more in favor of letting the market run its course and let people fend for themselves.
Both have their merit in certain scenario's and it's rarely just one or the other.
However, with how everyone's shouting "left" and "right" these days they've lost all meaning and they've become terms to make us fight each other.
And for the record, American liberals (or "libtards", because they're left and so not right and that makes everything about them wrong) would be considered (far) right in most European countries, go figure.

I've always been of the opinion that any religion or political party (but I repeat myself) can be partly judged by how well they control their fringe elements. Certain religions are currently doing better than others but political parties across the globe are failing badly.
There is good reason why I refuse to be a member of either institution.
