Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

The right to bear arms in America was never intended for the average citizen. It was intended for state militias. Although thieves do prefer unarmed victims, there's no real evidence to show that guns significantly lower any crime rate.

However, I think we're a little too far down the path to go back though. Right now we'd be disarming the innocent. I say we stop the drug war and start by trying to clear out as many unlicensed guns as we can. Buuut, I'm not a politician or a law enforcer, so I very well could be speaking out my ass right now.

I'm fine with Colour and Color but I'm in Canada and we spell it colour. Considering we are still technically part of the commonwealth I guess we are still holding on to some British things Like having the queen on lots of our money.

We also use different words for things not just spelling.
Lightning Bugs are Fireflies
Faucets are taps.
Soda is Pop

We also pronounce things differently and I don't just mean a different pronunciation for about.

Fuck everybody.

Dammit.

I want damnit, none of this m replacement bullshit.

Well I say, you aren't a very colourful looking chap, hey!

Well, you know what, why don't you Americans get your own damn language, and maybe you stop complaining about the actual spellings.

I always write colour instead of color, not sure why, just find it more comfortable.

God forbid people not being able to comprehend a spelling that is not the one they use, even in the original of their plagiarised language. If you have a stigma you can't get over about spelling, languages are not for you, and avoid them. Colour is correct.

We spell stuf like light, colour and centre the proper way. Americans spell it the easy, nursery school way.

Uh excuse me we have our own language its called Americanese, duh.

Well, that Webster guy simplified words such as "favourite" and "flavour" for the Americans. They fuss over one little letter because they're retards (no offense, retards). But some other English speaking regions write it as the word was before.

For some reason "Center" can be spelled "Centre" where i am.

It'd be silly to say that its the 'proper' way, but I will say that its the original way. As well as with 'centre' and et cetera.

Well, come to think about it, Old English is the original way to spell things with. If any of you know Old English, what's this mean? Sable quean.

THANK YOU, OP! Finally someone realizes that it's not pronounced colOWR, it's COLLUR. No need for the extra letter, because it's SILENT. Silent letters like E serve a purpose. But that U does NOTHING.

Off with its head.

(sighs audiably) When will people realise that no country is better than the other one, particularly over a simple matter of spelling.

Latin is the best language though.

america combibo. Britain est recedentia melior , quod t postulo . Vos criminor super nos havi muslims ut vestri terra est plenus ot (mexicans? I dunno, romans never went to mexico.). Planto perficio voluntas.

I'm happy not having guns in Britain. We have wonderful schools and universities full of young people who are ALIVE.

low blow

Americanisms are rather annoying, mainly because I love the English language - named after England, not America. Americans just abuse it. There are more Americanisms than just "color and colour" or "mum and mom". Others are illogical things of grammar (which the rest of the world is picking up due to the prevalence of American media). I just find many Americanisms crass, jarring or illogical, though this is nothing other than bitter preference and I cannot say that British English is absolutely better than American English.

care for a cuppa' finest tea, my friend? COLOUR

I'm an Aussi, and we spell it colour and centre. Different culture, get used to it. You're way of life isn't the only valid form of society on the face of this planet.

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.

In this case, potentially a gun could have saved the homeowners. This assumes that they knew this was going to happen, let's say the homeowners did own a gun and did "protect" themselves, how could the intent of the people breaking in be proven? If you give people guns they're going to use them in a heated situation, police/army are trained to understand when to use a gun, the general public aren't. What if those kids had just been playing? For whatever reason they went into the house, okay sure they broke the law, but did they deserve to die?

In my mind there are so many more chances of it being a bad idea than a good idea. How many people every year break into someone's house with the intent of killing them? How many people break into houses with the intent of just stealing stuff?

Just to prove that the person who is arguing for guns, and this is purely to do with house robberies, the american statistics are - 3,430 thousand. Now these are the british statistics - 293 thousand.

I would say that having guns just makes robberies easier and more dangerous.

Anyone that spells "laser" differently from "laser" is retarded, not just Americans.

"Laser" is an acronym for:

Light
Amplification
by
Stimulated
Emission
of
Radiation

Jesus Christ, you Americans will moan about anything.

I don't get my knickers in a twist everytime someone says MATH.

Get over it and yourselves, then respect different cultures.

when i was like 4 i picked up the hobit and read a couple pages and noticed "colour" thinking i had found a mistake i told my dad bu he explained that it was British way of doing it, i think because i was so young at the time it did something to my physce and i have only ever been able to spell it "colour" from then on "color" just looks weird to me
