i love how Americans come on here and when I state an opinion they give me shit thinking my opinions are biased cos I'm British. jesus, would never have known I lived for 27 years in the States and might know a damned thing about what I'm talking about. and thanks Paul, I try to be a friend to humanity.
Scary part is the regime thats currently in power is a continuation of corrupt regimes that have been in power since around 1910......our country started sliding downhill then....we're just about fucked, not there yet, but it's coming faster everyday.
for your info ... where I live is not necessarily my culture. if you actually read my post you would see that most my life i lived in the States so I do think I know what the hell I'm talking about. and NO maybe the crimes were not committed with guns obtained legally but SOMEONE obtained them legally and they were there to be stolen. i also never bashed Americans though there are many Americans that do desire to keep their guns and guns do nothing but cause more trouble than they are worth, no matter whose hands they are in.
Yes, I've already stated that I know your from the states, and fyi.....I wasn't basing my statements on your culture, I was speaking of cultural differences in general, this is bigger than you. and you believe if a moratorium is placed on firearms they will cease to exist?? Banning legal purchase of firearms puts all of the guns into the hands of criminals and leaves the legal citizenry defenseless. Nobody ever said that you personally bash americans, why do you think that??? The rest of this statement is your personal opinion.
Fuck..........what are you guys doing, purposefully trying to misunderstand me??? I refuse to believe your that dense, your just trying to pick apart my statements to make it look like i'm being an unreasonable asshole but i'm not! Why??
Why are you guys (Paul and Phoenix) picking apart(searching for a meaning that is not there) my statements (what I have said in this thread) to mean something they don't? (thought that was pretty self explanatory but I guess i'll explain everything in detail as i'm talking to children)
First of all Brtiain is not "my" country, my home is this planet and any human being suffering or harmed anywhere on this orb is of my concern, because they are like me, human, and most probably come from the same place. Every single person living has the right to take an interest in what happens overseas, in my opinion, and speak out against wrongs. If my opinions were confined to this one tiny island my outlook would be very narrow indeed
How can any of us tell who we are talking to. You could be GW himself for all I know. I think the time of governments is over. The common people from the world over band together and rid ourselves of the disease we call government or we are fucked. I think the problem the americans have is hypocrisy, one minute bitching about muslims and how you need to protect against them and praising the military. Next minute bashing government. What do you want - government OR peace but we cant have both
have a good night or maybe it might be day in your neck of the woods man .......smoke the peacepipe man :spliff:
.....and you could be Tony Blair, your point? Considering all the hate filled rhetoric I see you post, it pains me to say this but I completely agree with you. I agree with this statement as well, but please don't lump us all within the majority, most of the Americans on this forum are not the majority.
BTW dudenamed rob, what you are pissed off about is that I slagged your nation into the ground but I did warn you, I have been the length and breadth of Europe and spoken to hundreds of people, sat around talking a lot just about their perspective, mine, europe the usa etc. And like I said, man there wwas not one single European that thought the USA was a peaceful and civilised country. Not one thought it would be safe to live there. The only people who do are 3rd worlders because they think they can get rich there and most of them are from war torn countries and believed your bullshit that you are a democratic and stable society. Bullshit the USA is a war zone its people killing people there - no fuckin respect for life whatsoever and no fuckin respect for other people at all- The USA is greedy selfishness and uncivilised If youre such a fuckin great democracy then listen to other nations and changge yours from the inside - all the USA does is walk allover everyonelse when bush addressed blair once he said "yo, Blair" what the fuck ??? I think blair should have socked him in the jaw
I agree with all of this as well, my problem with you is that you seem to generalize too much, America and the American people have become two very different things, and I take offense when you lump me and all other Americans in with the bullshit, we're not all like that.
Obviously we in the UK and Europe have experience of strict gun control and the relative almost total freedom from gun crime problems and exceptionally low homicide rates, so British and European opinions on the issue of gun control are valuable and important ones to be expressed and I hope our experience is heard loud and clear and that our advice gets heeded in the States.
seeing as you did not have the courtesey the first time i asked ...... am still waiting for for why you think your talking to children......... hey hey hey hey listen to the children maybe they know were its at man .............do carry on
