Jeremy Wheeler is such a moron:
"I hope that NORAD would check with the Bahamas' head of state (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II) before doing any bombing..."

NORAD really is an Air Defense Command. Its sole mission is to investigate aerial intruders and to shoot them down, if necessary.
NORAD doesn't have any bombers, and it never has had any. What fantasy told you that it might? Too much ale and rum?

NORAD has frequently investigated Soviet and Russian warplanes coming close to the air space of Canada and Alaska, and off the east and west coasts of Canada and the United States, but NORAD has never had to shoot at any of them -- they have always responded to warnings to fly away.
Soviet and Russian "BEAR" bombers have made lots of nonstop flights from northern Russia and Cuba, and then several days later reversed their flight path back to Russia. Just as long as the Russians/Soviets stayed well offshore in international airspace, the Amercan and Canadian aircrewmen took to waving at them and showing them interesting posters. The Russians/Soviets replied in kind.
What the Soviets were actually doing was snooping on the American and Canadian radar coverage off the East Coast. American planes do the same in the Far East while flying back and forth between Alaska, Japan, and South Korea.

Yes, yes, the acts of the the British House of Commons are the Supreme Law of the Land, and all of the local governments of the U.K. are subservient to them.

Whatever powers that the regional governments and local have been granted can be taken away just as easily, just as long as the Supreme Court does not intercede.

Every national government must have supreme power somewhere, else it will fall apart.Every national government worth anything has the power to oppose any rebellion. For example, a place like Scotland, Texas, or Manitoba could only leave either by a successful rebellion or with the permission of the national government.

Wheeler, you don't know the difference between the British People and the United Kingdom. There are also millions of British People (and proud of it) who live in Northern Ireland. So, "British" incudes England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and more.
I bet that you are baffled by the "and more", but I am not going to say.
You might actually have to do some heavy-duty research to find out!

North America = a familiar term for a continent that includes two major countries, the United States of America and Canada, plus several of their neighbors such as Mexico, the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola.

See also the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD), which includes just Canada and the United States as its members, but which benefits most of the rest, too. For example, if the Bahamas or Greenland came under air attack, the United States and Canada would surely come to their defense.

"Petrol bomb" is slang in that it is not a bomb at all. These do not explode, and they have been used by criminals to set dangerous fires..

On the other hand, it is possible for criminals and terroists to make real bombs out of substances like ammonium nitrate (especially when combined with fuel oil), nitroglycerine, and black powder. Ammonium nitrate was used as in explosive BOMB by a criminal in Oklahoma City to level a large building and kill scores of people.

"Jeremy Wheeler: Tangents? Not at all. I merely quoted your assertion and disproved it with a website link. I notice that you have ignored it."

Wheeler, you do not know what a tangent is, a proof is, a disproof is, or much else.

Your tangent was that the kind of a "car park" that you mentioned is TOTALLY different from the kind of a "car park" that they have in New Zealand, Australia, etc.
There is no befit or logic in doing that. It is just as if someone said something about the Maria of the Moon, and you interjected, "Oh, I known lots of women named Maria." Those are different things.
At one time, it was thought that there were seas on the Moon, and the Latin word for "sea" is "mare". Then, its plural is "maria".
That's the tangent: going off onto a different subject. .

You who say, "that noun is used as an adjective" are wrong.
That noun had been converted into an adjective, and hence it can be used ether way, such as in "draft beer". However, this process needs to be done carefully, and not as it has become recently: a willy-nilly, free-for-all process. Those radicals want to use "U.K." as an adjective when we already have the longstanding adjective "British". Where is the logic in this?
We do have British Aerospace, British Army, British beer, British Broadcasting Company, British Commonwealth, British education, British Empire, British Government, British history, British housing, British law, British literature, British money, British music, British nobility, British Parliament, British people, British royalty, British taxes, British transportation, ....
There are millions of people who want to replace every one of these with "U.K.", just out of sheer laziness and the unwillingness to write the adjective "British".
They are also too lazy to write "American", "Canadian", "Mexican", "Japanese", "Scottish", "Welsh", or "deadheaded", or any other adjective that ends in "ed", "ern", "en", or "ing".
You look: they use "select" when they needed "selected", and they use "chose" when they needed "chosen". Yes, "those chose few who won the Battle of Britain" and "those chose few Marines who won the Battle of Guadalcanal".
It is a mess. Millions and millions cannot tell the difference between an adjective, a noun and a verb. They do not think that there is any.

AnWulf:
I wonder why on Earth you want to argue with me rather than reading the Consitution of the United States and seeing what it really says?
A militia is specifically defined there as NOT being an army.
Only the Federal Government has the right to raise and support an army or a navy.
Must I list the exact article, section, and clause to you, or could you possibly be capable of doing that yourself???

Also, the Armed Forces of the United States are not the topic of discussion here.
Neither is it the time or the place for people who somehow dislike the Federal Government of the United States to rebel against it and complain about it. There are other places on the Internet for that.

MY government has had to stand up against the evils of slavery, Naziism, Fascism, Japanese imperialism, and of Communist warmongering. It has my loyalty because of that.

The North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) has exactly the right name because more than one country is a member of it.

When we state "North America" we know what we are talking or writing about.
It is silly to question that.

In fact, Jeremy Wheeler, I am no longer going to reply to any of your comments. You make them simply for the reason of being argumentative, your "facts" are often rancid ones, and you don't do anything constructive. Be gone with you!
