I met a guy in the Saigon airport who had paid a small fortune to ship several cases of bottled water with him from LA for his safety. They sell it every hundred feet for 4 cents a bottle. Tex, you see Brits on holiday on the Spanish and Greek islands sitting in restaurants trying to decide what to eat. It's not uncommon to hear a wife say to a waiter about her husband or child : "He don't like none of that foreign rubbish... he only eats pizza and hamburgers."

EXTREMELY LONG, BUT WORTH READING THE WHOLE THING!!! This man speaks the truth and I challenge anyone to refute his credentials or his facts. PLEASE READ!!We’ll let us look at the ‘facts’ then shall we? The mass shooting that the author refers to was at a school in a town called Dunblane which is in SCOTLAND. SCOTLAND, as Gordon will no doubt be delighted to confirm, is not ENGLAND. It is not in ENGLAND. It is a country called SCOTLAND. Both ENGLAND and SCOTLAND are part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or the UK as it is usually referred to, which is governed from London. Only the most stupid of people could fail to have grasped this simple fact, if they didn't already know it before doing their research, and which is about as ignorant as calling Canada or Mexico the USA. In the wake of Dunblane ‘guns’ were not ‘banned’ as he states, we only banned handguns, other than muzzle-loading, historic and sports handguns. And we did not ‘confiscate’ them as he states, we held a gun amnesty and people freely turned in their handguns. We are still allowed to own licensed shotguns and hunting rifles. These handguns were never intended, not licensed, to be used for self-defense and could only be used at gun clubs and ranges. Their removal has therefore had NO effect on our violent crime rates, which the author, whilst he was performing his ‘cursory Google search’ will have seen has actually begun to fall recently, and is certainly NOT the cause of its rise. Much of our violent crime takes place in the home or on our streets at night, and whilst I fully admit it is a major problem for us, not being able to own handguns has NO bearing on the matter. So, getting back to these facts. If this ‘expert’ cannot even get his facts right when using the example of another country to support his argument, with his spurious spin that if here in ENGLAND (or SCOTLAND or even the UK) we owned guns for self-defense we would somehow be safer from violent crime, then that pretty much discredits the rest of his ‘facts’. DING!! (funny thing Si, I dont see Wales anywhere ;D ;D ;D)

Something must be in the water in Jamaica. Hedo 2, a lady from California asked me when they would finish electrifying all the rural areas in Texas. I'm thinking 1937 or so, but the question was so stupid I just told her we were working on it.

When I asked him why he thought that he replied "We met some people from Belgium here last year and their English was so good we wondered if Belgium is in England." What made it most worrying was that the guy was a lawyer!

Lets take a little look at some more TRUTH and FACTS. EXTREMELY LONG, BUT WORTH READING THE WHOLE THING!!! This man speaks the truth and I challenge anyone to refute his credentials or his facts. PLEASE READ!!
Then you’ve got countries like Norway, with extremely strict gun control. Their gun control laws are simply incomprehensible to half of Americans. Not only that, they are an ethnically and socially homogenous, tiny population, well off country, without our gang violence or drug problems. Their gun control laws are draconian by our standards. They make Chicago look like Boise. Surely that level of gun control will stop school shootings! Except of course for 2011 when a maniac killed 77 and injured 242 people, a body count which is absurdly high compared to anything which has happened America.
Because once again, repeat it with me, criminals simply do not give a crap.
That mass killer used a gun and homemade explosives. Make guns harder to get, and explosives become the weapon of choice Anders Behring Breivik planted a car bomb in front of the office of Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. He didn’t make a bomb because he couldn’t get his hands on guns for fucks sake!! He used a bomb for maximum loss of life, shock and damage. And he succeeded, with the explosion killing eight people and injuring at least another 209. This was stage one of his attack on his country, stage two was the massacre at a summer camp on the island of Utøya, a camp organized by the Norwegian Labour Party. He wore a fake cop’s uniform and carried fake ID to gain access to the island, claiming he was from the Oslo Police Department and was there to do a routine check following the bombing in Oslo. He then killed 69 and injured over 100 more. Breivik wasn’t some mixed up kid who wanted to end it all and take out as many innocents as he could with him at a ‘soft target’ he was a lone wolf terrorist acting against his government and had been planning these attacks for nearly ten years. His weapons were bought legally in Norway, after failed attempts to buy them in Czechoslovakia and Germany, where he undertook weapons training in order to get his firearms licence. Norway, incidentally, has very similar gun laws to the UK, but let me be absolutely clear about one thing. Even if there was not one single legal gun of any description in Norway Anders Behring Breivik would still have been able to get hold of the weapons he wanted, just as you can get most things you want on the black market. And he did not use 'a gun’ as the author claimed. He used GUNS. A Glock handgun and a Ruger semi-automatic rifle to be precise, and took with him over one thousand rounds of ammunition. Let’s repeat that so we can be clear that this wasn’t a man who couldn’t get hold of weapons and ammunition so resorted to using a homemade bomb and ‘a gun’. That was ONE THOUSAND rounds of ammunition. How do I know all this? Because to yet again quote the author, I did a few ‘cursory Google searches’ to check the ‘facts’. Clearly he did not do the same, as he claims, or if he did he chose to ignore those ‘facts’ and spin them for his own aims. This idiot’s diatribe isn’t ‘truth’ and ‘facts’, it’s nothing more than sick propaganda that cruelly distorts the ‘truth’ and ‘facts’ about the deaths of innocents to claim the moral high ground.

I don't think you need Wyatt Earp walking the school grounds. If the entrances to all schools were closed to one point then 1 or 2 armed guards would be fine at the entrance. I just think that the NRA could have worded better than they did. Not much point in calling the "armed" police then, is there? I say we just send in a bunch of liberals to tell the person, "Stop that!!" next time a shooter goes to a school for target practice. ...........Bob

Run out of Wet Platinum yet again, douchebag? Ah, well -- maybe it's time to clean your pump shotgun ... and as always, please remember to load it first. I was sure I had run out of Wet Platinum, till my little Dachshund came over and started licking my Dick. It was then I remembered I was jerking off when some bastard with a gun blew by me on the interstate and I forgot what I was doing. Some nights are like that, 'ya know??
