'British' = your slang.
Look at what the British have done to it in the last 250 years. Talk about bastardizing! You're your own worst ennemy.

Which only proves that you're not the supermen you claim to be, nor careful enough in a war zone.
if you don't like it that Americans own handguns, start knocing on doors and tell the homeowner to surrender all waepons. You might as well start here in Florida, becasue there are plenty of hungry 'gators who don't mind a little lead in their food.
Wy don't you just ignore the thread if you can't handle it?
Sure! He's another liar, like Hawkie.
The card in 'his' pocket lets him out of the asylum, but only to go to work. Even they don't wantr him running loose.
A hell of a lot more than you ever will.

I served during Vietnam era, but never saw combat. I had severe health problems, but a very good background in electronics so they drafted me, after telling me I couldn't enlist because of five separate
4F ratings. I was legally disabled when I was drafted, but I served. I tested out of the three year electronics school for broadcast engineer while I was in basic training, and skipped AIT. It was a few years ago those problems got so bad that I can no longer work.Only one person in seven in the US military ever sees combat. Some people don't understand that. There is more to a fighting force than the front line, and everything has to work properly, or those at the front line all die.
Good for you. :) Were you an MP or SP wile in the military? A lot of the better police officers got their training that way. I only met a couple bad ones while in the US Army. I bet that they all remembered me for a while. It's amazing what a quick talk with their watch commander can do when they screw up. :) I worked 'Weathervision' at Ft. Rucker and had several try to keep me from doing my duty. All the watch commander had to hear was 'Weathervision' and the MP got yelled at, and reminded that if our group didn't get their job done, the helicopter school had to shut down.
I received a letter of commendation from my commanding General for my work to resurrect a totally screwed up AFRTS TV station. I ignored that everything was depot level work, and fixed everything in the station. Then the station manager tried to have me court martailed for 'dereliction of duty' for the work I did. It was quickly dropped, and I was promoted. :)
I went back into electronics after I left the service. At my last job I was building telemetry equipment for a lot of US government agencies, some that are still under NDA.
Not really. I was just responding to your jab. ;-)
By the time anybody started giving "smallpox infected blankets" to the Indians the indigenous population had already been decimated. Sad fact, Native Americans, North and South, had no immunity--it spread like crazy.
As for bounties on scalps, I'm not sure what your point is. Where the Spanish arrived it wasn't scalps, it was hearts, and on a production line basis.
And how exactly are the English responsible for that?
And what would it be if guns in the US were banned? That's the point you miss--you assume that if the US had laws similar to those in whatever workers paradise you inhabit then the homicide rate would also be similar. But you have no evidence to support that contention.
So your purpose was to start a debate for your own amusement?
May as well plonk the newsgroup you rode in on. Hell, I think I'll plonk the whole uk. heirarchy while I'm about it.
Right!
"700$" No thanks, I always get more than that. ;-)
You were boring from the moment you stuck your snout into RCM.
People, people. It was Bill Brysons book about language that asserted, I don't know with what justification, that the current US "drawl" is more like the accent used by Elizabethan English - i.e. when the Mayflower set sail - than the current English accent that comes from a load of Germans, Dutch and Greeks that we brought over 200 years ago to rule us. So you guys are actually closer to original English than we, the English, are.

I guess its only a matter of time before someone says "Because the good lord made it so", and we are then allowed to let this thread die... 'alf a mo'. I just did say it. Can we stop now?
I think his point is that guns can kill at a distance, which makes it easier to reach a state of mind where shooting someone is desirable, and where it carries less consequences.
