erm... not that it matters muchly to me as an irishman but I have a lot of very good friends and acquaintances on these hallowed boards that are from the UK and I was just wondering if you could possibly maybe clarify exactly what it is you mean by this statement????
As I see it (and I do stand to be corrected) you appear to be relishing in the fact that you are "able" to sh*t on a picture of their Queen, whilst also rubbing their noses in the fact that you have legal access to firearms etc, whereas they do not.....
Like I said, I could be wrong and I invite you to prove me so...
Apart from that... welcome to the boards and enjoy your stay...

Nope, I'm pretty sure you got it right there.HatchA wrote:As I see it (and I do stand to be corrected) you appear to be relishing in the fact that you are "able" to sh*t on a picture of their Queen, whilst also rubbing their noses in the fact that you have legal access to firearms etc, whereas they do not.....

That said, Jukku is pretty much like Ford Prefects description of Earth in the HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy. Mostly Harmless.

Re: Hello, Brits!
Feel free to sh*t where you like mate, your presidents been doing it on you for the last 5 years. As for legalising firearms, I'm not sure many Brits want that here, condisering the serious problems it causes in America.

Re: Hello, Brits!
I'm not saying guns are bad. I'm saying I don't think the majority of Brits would want them legalised. There wasn't really a problem with a small number of sportsmen having them, but I don't think people here want them as freely available as they are in America. I've got mixed feelings, but I know if everyone else was carrying one I would be too. On balance though, I prefer being able to walk through town knowing there's practically no chance of having a gun pulled on me, than knowing I could shoot back.Jukku wrote: Hmm, You got me on the president part. But guns aren't that bad. Look at switzerland. They have rocket launchers.

Absolutely spot on!!!
And with regard to Switzerland "having rocket launchers"...... they also have an army (with those little red knives...) but you don't see them invading places....
To coin a phrase... guns don't kill people... PEOPLE kill people!!! It all pretty much boils down to information, education and peoples "decision making" skills.....
'nuff said.

There's more violent crime with firearms per capita in the UK than there is in the US.Lexxorcist wrote:Feel free to **** where you like mate, your presidents been doing it on you for the last 5 years.

Re: Hello, Brits!
True enough, plus if memory serves Nottingham has the highest rate of gun crime of any major city in the western world. Can't remember where I found that out, think someone told me, feel free to disprove, just what I heardUnleashed wrote:There's more violent crime with firearms per capita in the UK than there is in the US.Lexxorcist wrote:Feel free to ****where you like mate, your presidents been doing it on you for the last 5 years.
