how about the rest of the quote ?

“Enough is enough – we need to get tough on knives in this country and our judges should be handing out tough sentences, not brandishing their own.”

Even in proper context it's still insanely stupid.

I only partially quoted it because the judge's behavior was so silly that I thought it might derail the thread.   :aok

Well as I stated in the San Fran thread my knives have a tendency to get up and start stabbing things on their own. I mean come on people get real items like guns and knives have minds of their own and they are nothing but a nuisance to society. They should be melted down before they take over the world.

Lyn Costello, the co-founder of the Mothers Against Murder and Aggression campaign group, said: “He should lose his job. One teenager a week is being murdered on the streets of Britain and here he is brandishing a knife.

"Mothers Against Murder and Aggression "

Mama?

I think maybe they need to start getting rid of mothers LOL

Why do Americans care what happens in Britain?  Not really any of your business now, is it?

How many of you would take offense if British folks started poking at you for your idiotic litigious manner in handling anything from a hot cup of coffee to a drug related miscarriage?

Yes, I am an American.  However, I grow weary of people in our country poking at other countries all the time.  We have enough issues here to last several lifetimes.  What is the point of poking our noses where they do not belong?

Ahh, so that is how the rationalization works.  Is that a common thing?  Does it span the entire U.S.?

Are we so insecure we have to demean others to make ourselves feel good?  I find that to be sad, but not unexpected.

Along with the rest of the world.

I really don't care what Europe thinks or does as long as they keep their nose out of our Constitution.  I lived in some parts of Europe in my youth and have no desire to return.  There are too many people in this world who want a One World Government and I despise those people with every fiber of my being.

P.S.  The fact that one of our idiotic presidential candidates is campaigning over there should concern those who cherish the American Constitution.  Why would he be over there unless he intends to give Europe more control over our affairs if he gets elected.

it's funny how people from all over the world concern themselves with the goings on here and yet cry foul when someone points out to any euroabsurdity we may find amusing.  I don't think we care so much as we are amused and laughing at you.  it's about the comic relief not the actual issue being discussed.  don't you see that?

"LONDON - Presidential contender Barack Obama defended his decision to travel to Europe and the Middle East on Saturday, saying that problems encountered by Americans at home are often best dealt with by working with allies overseas."

new world order, obama style. After obama is in power, he will enact "reasonable gun control" just like England, i guarantee it.

 Europeans are very interested in what happens in the US, should we not be interested in what happens in Europe?

Connor asked: “It happens I have a folding knife in my pocket. You need two hands to open it, don’t you?”

Evidently the guy is a moron. Nuff said.

Why must you post all of your comments and opinions about what goes on in the U.S.?






All of us will refrain if all of you will.












Yeah, fat chance. But then we knew that already.

i don't understand why nobody likes 'em... the brits are apparently saving us a ton of money on our car insurance.

...and they keep my cat entertained too.

Oh, I see.  It is the old elementary school, "He did it first! WAAAAHHH!"  Got it.

And people wonder why Americans are so reviled all over the world.  Could there be a clue here?
Title: Re: Knife control?
Post by: Xargos on July 27, 2008, 06:16:18 AM
Americans living overseas with a holier-then-thou attitude contributes more to being reviled then anything else.

Title: Re: Knife control?
Post by: Bones on July 27, 2008, 06:26:38 AM
I would not argue that is a contribution.

Although you cannot rule out what Americans do when they visit overseas as well.  That is not pretty either.
Title: Re: Knife control?
Post by: Xargos on July 27, 2008, 06:33:04 AM
I lived overseas for many years and saw how some Americans acted.  I am no longer willing to adapt to other cultures, therefore I'm staying in my own country from now on.

P.S.  Don't forget the UN is wanting us to abolish our Second Amendment and Death Penalty.  Other countries need to keep their nose out of our culture as well.

It is a shame more do not have that attitude.

I have to get back to work.  Have a good day.

I know an expat brit; living here. Used to be an arrogant snob. Now that he's acclimated.... (got mugged in brooklyn) he's just a normal salamander with a gekko accent and a heluva gun collection.
