Too bad you're still in school and haven't learned a thing about respect or showing any class.

Liberal, Conservative... you are just a stupid kid.

By this graph alone, it indicates that Australians (with some of the strictest gun control in the world) are three times more likely to be the victims of a burglars than in the US. Almost two times as likely to be a victim in the UK as well.

Arguing gun control with any one from another country is pointless.  They have no right to tell you how to do it in your country, and we have no right on how to tell them to do it in theirs....

BTW, Hi again Beatle.

I'm not talking about "gun control". I'm talking about "armed societies" versus "unarmed societies". And for Mexico to hit the #5 spot in the per capita list of firearms homicides, it's clearly not an "unarmed society", it is very much an "armed society".

Hi bodhi - when are we going to have that beer?

He's a troll who can't stand his fishing ground is off limits.

Oh yes belive everything Hollywood shoves down your throat. They are the enlightened ones.

But as for "in the service of one's country", I think a lot of brave young servicemen are duped into believing that, as they go to work earning brownie points for the politicians back home.

I wasn't dumped into going to Iraq. I joined up. Oh and let me tell you I joined before 911 I joined in 1999. Did you read that right let me help you out here I JOINED Up in the US Army. I went through Basic I went through my AIT I went through not having my family on Christmas,Thanksgiving and New Years Ive seen my friends get killed by IED's and enemy fire. Have you????? This country Is very lucky the have a volunteer military. Other country's  as soon as you turn 17 or 18 your gone for 2yr's and some country's at lower ages. So fell very lucky your not in another country wearing a uniform at 16,17 or 18 yrs of age.

RED25:aok

[expat]

Red , i was in a uniform at 16 ,16 and 4 months to be exact , but that was my choice  .
I was ever so eager to get in couldnt wait till 17 and a half  
As i said best times ive had , i saw things went to places and did things that my mates from school can only dream of , or pay shed loads of cash to do

Lest we forget its NOT just the guys over in the battles that are suffering!!!

We really do have some high quality Americans who are patriotic enough to serve in our current military.  I had the chance to meet one of these guys when I was taking a nondestructive testing course in Texas a few weeks ago.  He was a black guy, about 24 years old, sharp as a whip, and looked like Wesley Snipes.  He had left a job in nondestructive testing making $30/hr to fight in Iraq.

So its not just the poor country bumpkins, or inner city youth that is in our military.  We have some real bright and talented dudes over there.
