...such blue language in public...

[Nash]

Yeah it's a shame it came to that. I was ok when he had it normal and in black originally. But then he edited it to red and it got me somewhat alarmed. When he finally edited it to bold blue text, well.... there's just not much anyone can do at that point is there?

[NUKE]

nash, was my first attemp at color text, viewed 2 times...then made it blue when I figured it out.

[Nash]

Oh toejam in that case WTG Nuke! Good job m8.

[beet1e]

NUKE, WpnX and BGBMAW...

Well, well. That's a bit rich coming from you guys. Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. LOL! Oh yeah, and freedom to carry a gun, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech. Right?  Or so it seems, but only if you are in agreement with the majority or, to put it more accurately, the most vociferous wall of opinion.

WpnX-

Shut the hell up beetle, damn anti-gun - save the whales fairy, who asked you anyway.

Nobody asked me. I don't need to be asked. This is an open forum in which people have the right to air topics of their choice. I don't make personal flames, and I attempt to speak the truth. What is said in my sig. is, I believe, the truth. Else I wouldn't be saying it. I don't suppose you would have any complaint at all if I said something outrageous like "nuke all poor blacks and gays".

BGBMAW -

Your anti gun Quote is now full of sht..Have you seen the latest Statistics of your "empires" current crime rates???

If you read to the very end of my sig, there is a hyperlink to the Home Office crime stats document, published May 2001. Yes, I have read it.

NUKE - your blue text is false. We did rely on a great deal of American help. I am told that the D-Day landing troops were made up of soldiers 90% of whom were American. We owe America an eternal debt of gratitude for that. But as to your blue text which cites the claim that we called for arms to be sent over to arm citizens, this is patently false. Unless you include the Military under the generic reference of "the people", and US Citizens to include members of the Armed Forces.

I don't hate America. I love America. But what I do find to be a major source of irritation is people who post threads designed to belittle the opinion of others, such as those who do not believe in the proliferation of privately owned weapons. I have many friends in America, and that's because not everyone in America is a self-opinionated, chest-beating, machismo salamander.

Beet1e's signature is sorta of a permanent line in the water...its an artificial, no substance to it, most fish won't bite.  Think of it was a lure connected to the fishing pole with 2 lb. test thats been sitting on the reel for a few years, easily broken.

Beetle.....


I've yapped with ya online and you seem like a good guy, so don't take this personally.

Really, all you need to remember is this....we are Americans....we don't really care what you or anyone else from another country has to say.

As a matter of fact, we find it amusing that you give us that much thought in the first place....ya see, we don't really ever even think of you guys, good or bad. We are self absorbed and are ok with that.

So, if you feel the need to tell us how to live, knock yourself out. Just don't kid yourself and start to believe that we would really care what you have to say.

I admire the Brits and in many ways they are similar to us....more specifically, we have whiney malcontents within our borders as well....the difference being, they have citizenship and I'm slightly more inclined to hear them out than I am those on the outside lookin in.

Keep on makin noise....I understand....my children used to do that when they were little tikes:)

Cyas Up!

Rude

we don't really care what you or anyone else from another country has to say.

Fair enough. But aren't you forgetting something? This is not just a US board. The Aces High subscribership is made up of people from many nations - too many to list, but as far as I can tell, all continents are represented with the possible exception of Africa. My observations about America are there for any and all to ponder. Your remark which I have quoted above does seem to fly in the face of the complaints my sig has elicited, although it has to be said that these can be counted on one hand.

Ripsnort - it's not intended as "bait". The fish aren't biting anyway and the only things I have hooked so far have been an old boot, a worn tyre, and a supermarket trolley.

[Ripsnort]

Mine (sig) is not bait either, Beet1e, and am quite proud of it.

[lazs2]

beetle... you convinced me... you really shouldn't have a gun.   Hope it works out for ya.

actually this IS a U.S. board,

 posted in the US on a US server and moderated by a US company hosting a US game

matters not which community/country decides to participate.

[beet1e]

Wlfgang

posted in the US on a US server and moderated by a US company hosting a US game

run on computer equipment manufactured in the Far East, Taiwan, to which people connect using telephone lines (a British invention). The game itself of course has planes from Britain, America, Japan, Germany... and the subscribers all pay the same $14.95/month. I think that entitles all to have an equal voice on this board.

Lazs - agreed.

Ripsnort - Great sig! Correct the two spelling errors and it will be perfect.

little know fact - some of the biggest nature conservationists (a word rooted in conservative) are avid weapons enthusiasts - hunters.  the whole movement was started by arguably the best republican conservative ever, Teddy Rosevelt

[WpnX]

I know whgates, I'm just tryin to get ole beetle riled up:)
I love freedom of speech, and I'm glad we live in a country where we can have these freedoms. I even have a little respect for the guy because he stands up for what he believes in - even though I disagree with his beliefs. I just don't understand why he's so concerned with America's gun laws when he lives in England?
