:shock: I'm all for people taking responsibility for their own safety and all but jesus... why not just wear a kevlar jacket and an army helmet all the time if you are that worried you'll be gunned down in a mad gun rampage ? probably got just as much chance of stopping you getting injured as you beating someone else in a wild west style draw, plus the air would be a less thick with lead for all the sane people walking by.

I think that women needs it pointing out to her that the more people who carry guns then perhaps the more people will use them?
Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 14:03:49 It's absolutely fucking mental. It's also one pretty fucked up nation. I'm fully expecting it to split apart in a not really that violent civil war.

At least they have a sense of humour... Quote from: "Suzanna Hupp" "Imagine you are in a restaurant and a mad man is walking around from table to table, pointing a gun, taking aim and pulling the trigger, going to the next person, taking aim, pulling the trigger and so on," I mean... You know... Just imagine that... :-))( :shrug: Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: pauld on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 14:32:05 Quote from: "Barry Scott" Fucking yanks.

It was October 1991 when a gunman entered the diner where Suzanna, a Texan chiropractor, was having lunch with her parents. The man methodically executed 23 people including Suzanna's parents Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: Barry Scott on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 14:37:46 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :oops: What a dickhead. I must confess, i started it, found that quote amusing, stopped reading, returned to tef...
Not funny. Crazy Cuntry. Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: mattboyslim on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 14:42:03 Irrespective Barry, a women who's suffered horribly due to gun crime is still claiming that more guns will make it better!
Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: herthab on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 14:43:40 They're seriously fucked up.
For there to be gun crime, there needs to be guns. Ergo, take the fucking guns away!! Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: Bogus Dave on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 15:02:57 but americans need guns, otherwise the king of england could just walk into their house and start bossing them around. And they wouldn't like that
Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: RobertT on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 15:13:02 It is certainly odd walking in a Wallmart, going up to what looks like a jewellery counter and finding it full of guns and ammo. Almost tempting in fact.

Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 16:45:36 I just get wound up by this.
American's think they need guns to defend themselves from people with guns. Don't something like 5% of American's have a passport? If more of them got out of the States once in a while perhaps they would see that it is possible to live without gun crime being a major part of life. Funnily enough, I don't think I've ever seen a handgun in my life....and guess what, I don't know anybody who's bee shot either!!! :-))( Americans! Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: OOH!

Gerry Stilton 8) Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 17:07:33 i wonder if you give everyone in america a gun will all the idiots kill each other, leaving only the sensible ones?
Title: americans are a rum bunch Post by: RobertT on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 21:54:09 Nope, the idiots would take out all the sensible ones. Oddly, I quite like America, despite it's ability to develop more than it's fair share of absolute psychpaths and dimwits. Destroying most of the central states would solve a lot of those problems though. I have family in Pittsburgh and one of them loves Monty Python (and not just because it's cool to do so, or because it's illy), which is always my true judge of character.
Bowling for Columbine showed up their idiocy with guns though, even if Moore can be a bit one eyed. |
