They don't like giving you Californians carry permits though do they ....

Off to the opticians. I saw 'some' children but thought the majority were a tadge more older than a child. Must be me of course as I know 99% of you cannot be wrong.

I would respond more proper like but I have no idea what "Memsahib" is.

Interesting how you say the "overwhelming majority of people round here seem to be sane people with an intellect far above that of a troll like" me and yet you go on and insult those very same Americans.

In one post you have now called me insane, stupid, and a troll. Does that actually make you feel good?

Fig Newton

They meaning the crazy liberals in this state. That is true, though it isn't as hard as some might think. It varies county to county, and of course state to state.

I suppose taking their guns to school and shooting them is not impacting the country's progress?

Fig Newton

That's a symptom of other ills in society.

AmerLisa

And guns don't kill people?

doctor scrumpy

I see I was correct in having baited indifference.

Fig Newton

Whatever rocks your boat.

Fig Newton

Many things can be used to kill people. Blades worked quite efficiently long before guns ever showed up.

America has always embraced gun ownership, as did its founding fathers. You'll have to get used to that too.

doctor scrumpy

It is a symptom of poor gun control and a society that thinks the rights of people to bear arms outweigh the rights of people not to be shot.

The Memsahib just told me that the local NRA nut has had his SUV crashed into, maybe there is a God after all

I don't have to get used to anything. Because I chose to live somewhere (anywhere) doesn't mean I have to embrace what happens in that country. I can disagree and find disgraceful anything I want. That's the beauty of having my own opinions. Just because people come to America, doesn't mean they have to blindly leave behind their brains.....

Fig Newton

We have always had guns and always will.


If it bothers you so much then you know what you need to do.

Fig Newton

So much for respecting other cultures, huh?

You will have no choice but to accept what bothers you or otherwise you will make yourself miserable.

Which of course I never suggested.

AmerLisa

You are, of course.... You're inflated American ego must make it a bit hard to stay upright. Anyway, enough is enough, I can (happily so) live wherever I please, and I can also disagree with how that country is run or how ignorant their citizens are. I'm pretty lucky (unlike most Americans) I've seen both sides of the coin. Pretty handy, that.
