Perhaps mail shipping is 3 weeks late do to weather, but I have a funny feeling UPS and Fedex aren't 3 weeks delayed.

Yeah, that sounds about normal. I ordered a book from the UK around 12/13 and it didn't get here until last Friday, I believe. The Christmas season mail/package deliveries and weather conditions in the UK are to account for it, I'm sure.Originally Posted by ELazansky
Are you sure we didn't buy from the same seller?

Here's some info that came from PS Publishing today about the shipping delays from the UK:
Because of the US Homeland Security’s decision to ban packages from passenger planes (with extreme weather conditions on both sides of the Atlantic and smack-bang in the middle of the Holiday Season) items posted in November were still being chased by customers well into January.
Luckily, Royal Mail tells me that things are getting back onto an even keel and, within a week or maybe two, delivery times to the US from PS will return to 6-10 working days instead of the 6-10 working weeks we’ve been enduring of late.
Homeland Security is a giant collective douche.
It can be a pain sometimes but there hasn't been much terrorist type activity within the US borders in quite a while. Somebody must be doing something right.
Yes, I agree that there is a need for such a service. I just disagree with their charter, tactics and supporting legislation.
~Ben Franklin, 1775They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
A wise man indeed.
....and libery, freedom and the like cannot be given to you or taken away from you. You are born with them and die with them regardless of circumstance.
True, but there has never been much within US borders to begin with.It can be a pain sometimes but there hasn't been much terrorist type activity within the US borders in quite a while. Somebody must be doing something right.

Now your government just needs to do something to stop your homegrown American maniacs from having such easy access to lethal weaponry as it seems to me that they are just as much a threat to your safety as any terrorist suicide bomber.It can be a pain sometimes but there hasn't been much terrorist type activity within the US borders in quite a while.

they do... they allow sane people like me to carry my weaponry with me.... and I don't feel nearly as threatened as if I didn't have it.Now your government just needs to do something to stop your homegrown American maniacs from having such easy access to lethal weaponry as it seems to me that they are just as much a threat to your safety as any terrorist suicide bomber.It can be a pain sometimes but there hasn't been much terrorist type activity within the US borders in quite a while.

I'm more concerned about my government having access to lethal weaponry than her citizens.
that's a solution?.they do... they allow sane people like me to carry my weaponry with me.... and I don't feel nearly as threatened as if I didn't have it.Now your government just needs to do something to stop your homegrown American maniacs from having such easy access to lethal weaponry as it seems to me that they are just as much a threat to your safety as any terrorist suicide bomber.It can be a pain sometimes but there hasn't been much terrorist type activity within the US borders in quite a while.

Surely it would be better if you never felt the need to carry a weapon.
I don't feel the need to carry a weapon anywhere. I just like that I can if I'm so inclined.
Really?, would you prefer your country to be like mine and have defense cut after defense cut so that the Armed Forces become so weakened then can no longer realistically defend themselves if the need arises.
Until my government outlaws all guns, knives, gangs of hoodlums, bats (and any item that could be used as a club), screwdrivers, bow and arrows, AND any other item that might be used to cause harm to me... and provides a absolute effective method of guaranteeing that no individual- including the crazies and the criminals has access to any of these, and a FOOL-PROOF method of ensuring my safety 24 hours/7 days a week/for the rest of my natural life...that's a solution?.they do... they allow sane people like me to carry my weaponry with me.... and I don't feel nearly as threatened as if I didn't have it.Now your government just needs to do something to stop your homegrown American maniacs from having such easy access to lethal weaponry as it seems to me that they are just as much a threat to your safety as any terrorist suicide bomber.It can be a pain sometimes but there hasn't been much terrorist type activity within the US borders in quite a while.

I can't fathom a time that safety is a given.
Thus, I don't see a time when I'll "never" be in a situation where I might not feel the need to protect myself and others.
As it is... I have the choice... I dictate whether I am defenseless if a situation occurs, not the government.
and As solutions go... it works for me.
It's just something I've never even considered, having to actively think about protecting myself or family, though if I lived in one of our cities with high crime rates it might cross my mind.
and... BTW , I'm speaking from life lessons.-
as a teenager, I was walking out of a six flags amusement park with a friend- We were jumped by a gang of about ten and beaten extremely bad. They did not have guns... but they could have easily killed us... luckily they didn't.
as an adult, several years ago... I walked out of my apartment, around to the backside of the building, and walked upon two guys in the process of stealing my car. One of the guys attacked me with the 9" screwdriver he was using to jimmy the locks. if I had not been carrying my glock 45 - I'd most likely be dead. Instead, he went to jail.
Wow, close calls man!, very lucky they didn't have guns also.
Sometimes it's easy as an outsider to see the shocking headlines about how many thousands of innocent lives are lost due gun crime, but not so easy to realise how many are saved by having such weapons, or how many more potential deaths there could be from awful situations like yours.
Our laws don't allow the police to carry weapons (apart from armed response units etc) and are extremely strict with members of the public carrying weapons, I was watching a crime show the other day and a bloke was sent down for 4 years for carrying a pistol sized air gun in the street, even any type of imitation firearms get you a min two year sentence, you don't have to wave it at anyone or anything.
Unfortunately our laws still don't manage to stop the serious criminals from smuggling in weapons. While I don't believe anyone should be allowed to carry weapons I do believe we should have the right to defend ourselves in our own home, at the moment we don't have that, for instance if you seriously injure a burglar in a fight while he's breaking into your home you are likely to receive a prison sentence far worse than what he gets for breaking in.
Yes, being an actual victim often changes one's perspective.
and yes,I am lucky they didn't have guns... if they had - hopefully I would have been a better shot.
