I find that flag to be 10 times more offensive than a confederate flag.   At least the confederate flag doesn't symbolize subserviance.

Stuff like that is to be expected... when you systematically arm your criminal classes. Same thing would happen here, but... well, you know. ;)

Yah, we know Beetle.  Instead your criminals are forced to be more creative and rob people with bats and butter knives.  Its ok though.  We understand how all those centuries of subjugation have led you to cringe at the sight of weapons.  After all, by the reasoning that most of your European countries have only begin to repudiate in the last couple of centuries (with our example), only the people most fit to have them deserved to carry weapons, isnt that right?  The majority of the population was considered unintelligent and craven, and had no use for weapons anyway, eh?  Guess their indoctrination found good soil.

Oh, so it's cool then! You got without a king/queen... and traded them for criminals that come to your door to steal your cars. Nice going! :aok

Dont distract him from his hijacking NUKE, he so enjoys a chance try to show us how much better your life can be if you grow up letting mommy dress you instead of learning to do it yourself.  You just naturally let other people tell you what to do as well, and its so much easier on everyone, isnt it?  

Bah.

in england the serfs are not allowed arms, only the royalty and their men at arms are allowed to carry swords.

Ya know... if the Hawaiians had thier way, I don't think they would have became a state in the first place.

Subservience is accurate in this case. ;)

Funny how people in these gun threads reply to me by stating that "We" do something, like "We" understand... Almost as funny is the attempted reference to events/"lifestyle" of earlier centuries. I may be old, but not that old! And you guys forgot to mention 1776! - and if you had, I'm sure the effect upon me would have been the same as if I were to point out to Furball that Arsenal lost to Ipswich in the 1978 FA cup final.

beetle... all that would be fine except.... your country is pretty much rulled by the criminal class.... you have more muggings and burglaries than we do...  you have theives and lowlifes everywhere and your people can only huddle in the dark in fear.    More and more of your criminals are arming themselves with more than knives and a strong arm too...  

Your gun laws did not slow the rate of homicide in your country one bit... it was the same before and after.

brits that move here buy guns... not because they are more afraid but because.... they can.   Talking to ones that moved here and talking to you is like night and day.... You can counter by telling me what the Americans that move to england think but.....  

Americans don't leave America for england..
