I assume you're joking, because otherwise you're an idiot. I'd love you give me any examples where I, as a citizen of England, have needed a gun to protect myself.

Oh, they actually let you download Counterstrike?

That's a big step forward coming from the country that bans most people under 18 from buying silverware.

Theatre. Here in America it's theater. Not Thea-tray!

You can purchase silverware under 18, you need a permit though. Stupid americans know nothing.

Didn't England come pretty close to being destroyed in WWII?

Nah Churchill got them out of it.

You sir, is the only laughable human being in this small forum space. Do you have no fear of the government? Of course not, you obviously trust them way too much assuming from your posts. Who could be there to stop them when one day when they inevitably takes control of everything? When they strip down your rights as a citizen of great Britain?

We, the people, need firearms to protect ourselves, not just from the petty street thugs, but from the people who will take them away from you the first chance they get.

But of course, they've taken it away from you already, and now they are having cameras in each and every little street corners, watching your every move while ignoring the violence caused by thugs.

Who needs guns, I ask.

Pahaha, oh wow.

The only countries I can even think of that need any kind of laws close to that would be a place like Somalia or Liberia.

So you're pretty much a captive in your own country. That or it's the massive herds of Muslims invading your land and threatening to kill anyone who even speaks out about their religion.

I can really see the Union Jack with a crescent moon in the middle of it, that'd look pretty.

Another England vs America thread...

Anyways main diference in speech between Americans and British people is that Americans drag there words on to the next word making it a faster hard to understand speech.

While british people Keep there words appart.

listen fucktards, of course there will be variations of spellings of a word or not, america and the UK have been separated for over 200 years or so.

and why are all you faggots getting so butthurt about spellings of a word? good god.

Idk whats wrong with spelling like COLOUR. It's cool spelling it like that!

haha, how so? I'd love to see examples of this, I am as free as you Americans are. If I want to work, I work, if I don't want to work, I don't work, if I want to go to the shop, I go to the shop. If I want to wank, I wank.

We, the people, need firearms to protect ourselves, not just from the petty street thugs, but from the people who will take them away from you the first chance they get.

I'd love to, once again, see examples of this.

But of course, they've taken it away from you already, and now they are having cameras in each and every little street corners, watching your every move while ignoring the violence caused by thugs.

I can see you love to listen to the ridiculous media in America. My street has no cameras, I can walk for well over a mile without being caught by any, the only I can show you within my area are those outside shops and I'm pretty sure your shops also have them. And no, they don't hide cameras in the bushes.

Who needs guns, I ask.

over protective uneducated fucks, I answer.

Well every now and then like on our School's little tv episodes they'll interview a student and randomly ask "What's your favorite word"

and they will say

Supercalafragilisticexpialadocious or Antidisestablishmentarianism. I fucking hate both those words.

Yes, and let's not build shelters because it is not raining, lets not collect food because we are not hungry.

Lets not protect ourselves when we can just... don't, right?

Let's not fight for the right to bare arms because we can and have no need to and then ridicule and imply any other nation that doesn't is asking to be buttfucked over their lack of rights to do so.

Silly americans.

So your gonna bitch about 'the eccentricities' of the english language while using them

BTW you spelt PONDERING wrong

I've never poundered anything but its sounds abusive

This went from a thread about the word "Colour" to gun control.
God your all complete faggots.

Silly americans.

My country still kills yours and your country still lets men rape women whenever they feel because they are a far more sophistocated and socially advanced society

Oh yes indeed

Heh, I am just simply laughing at your false sense of security.

I'm not even an American, I live in a nation without guns and I just simply love the idea of owning guns after having my home broken into a few times because the police simply couldn't get here until an half an hour later.

So what would you have done? These people who broke into your home, did they threaten you physically? You seem pretty alive to me right now, so you didn't need to kill them, did you? Giving peoples guns and saying "protect yourself" is ridiculous, some people think a person entering their home is going to kill them. The purpose of a gun is to kill, you didn't need a gun.

haha, oh wow.

As a Canadian the only thing I find silly is our pronunciation of the letter Z ... Jay-Zed just sounds so funny

For me, the most eye-catching one is "defence" instead of "defense". That one really gets to me. The colour/honour/glamour thing never annoyed me too much.

I believe that thievery would be a lot more common if people didn't fear the chance that they would end up dead. In a situation where you're measuring your life versus some diamong rings or whatever, you're likely to chose not to break into a house - but if you know the guy is going to cower and call the police so they police can show up half an hour to a full hour later and just stand around and go "welp," then a thief is more likely to rob someone.

Also people get up in arms about how they're morally better than the rest of the world because "If a burglar broke into my house I would let him just take my stuff as long as he doesnt hurt me because Im not materialistic at all and value life" but then when their car gets stolen, or their shit gets broken into, its a fucking fury of rage, or they aren't materialistic but they always have some excuse for why they can't offer shelter to the homeless or food to the starving or toys for children whose families cant afford them. The fact is, everybody in this age is materialistic, even if they try real real hard to be "better than that".

There was a story of 4 kids in Connecticut or somewhere breaking into a house and murdering the occupants for fun, and then posting about it on facebook which is the only reason they got caught. They chose this house because it was in the wilderness and they knew they had a low chance of the police getting there in time. The kids all used knives, and I think in this case a gun would have been a great deterrent, although yeah I guess it could have gone awry, but I don't think the children would have tried to overpower someone pointing a gun at them, if they are only equipped with knives.

Guns in the public are a double edged sword, though, I feel, and I am torn a bit.

I disagree, if that were true burglary rates in the USA would be lower than in countries where guns are more restricted.

That is true, but not everybody in the U.S has a gun, since you have to go through a lot of hoops to get one, (classes, training, background checks, getting forms, etc) and guns are expensive anyway and not something people think about getting unless they feel like they're going to have to use one - a lot of people get like those private "Home Security Systems" instead.
Anyway, that's just my view on it, I suppose.
