So... Muslims don’t condemn terrorism for the same reason that: Americans both face and celebrate their history & the legacy of past generations? I see a (perhaps sometime limited) degree of honesty on one side... And an excuse for inhumanity & racism on the other! In favoUr of Americans, they are collectively capable of criticising their history & current activities..... Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hi Ahgehman. So far you've got loads o advice from many American "Gun Experts"... Some of whom don't know who Eugene Stoner is! SO I'm going to extend "Owns" to "Used". What are you going to use it for? If it's single shot (self-loading) accuracy then you'd do well to heed Kennedy's advice on The AR-10. NATO 762 (Winchester 30.06) with all the punch and accuracy that lies behind it - WITH an ergonomically designed SLRthat beats the FN-FAL hands down. I'm guessing that they still make the AR-10 'cos they still make my own favourite, The AR-5. If you want to "play soldier", then remember that Colt made the original AR-15 in .223" Remington for a fair reason (& it wasn't that they were cheapest). Wierd barrels? Strange "precision" manufacturers? What are you REALLY looking for? Is it a Ar-15 or a self-loading accuracy rifle (Walther anyone?)? Mike.

I suspect that this comes down to a case of; "While you may trust yourself, do you trust others". Personally, I believe that I am capable of living within the basic moral guidelines of society without the "Aid" of a judicial system. I keep within the "10 Commandments", do not intentionally harm others, and pay my taxes as required and on time. I am honest. However. my honesty would be quickly eroded in the face of knowledge that others without my degree of honesty were benefiting at my expense. And therein lies the rule of law. Perhaps it's not a guarantee of justice, but it IS a guarantee of a level playing field for all participants. There is comfort in the declaration: "Die Gesetz ist Die Gesetz!" Mike.

So... Once the staff member is IN the building, she can be told to cover the plate. But in leaving the building to do so, she is then free to NOT cover the plate!? Or does the staff member now have permission to park her car inside the building? This makes even less sense than suggesting the "Concerned Parent" buy a gun & shoot holes in the offending plate!

Thx again. You're too kind with me today I'm afraid my reputation for beeing an arrogant German is gone. OK, a Redneck then. It's past noon, someone pass me a bottle of , pls. Need no glass. Yep! Well done on banishing the whole "Arrogant, Precise German" thing! Well done on refuting the 43% Yankee thing as well. I'd agree you're "Redneck". In fact, thanks to my ability to add, I'd say "110% REDNECK Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Yep. That's the TRUE nature of the famous Scots hospitality (rule #2): "In ANY punch-up we always take the side of the person we're drinking with." It's only superseded by rule #1: "In EVERY punch-up we WILL side against The English!" Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Whiisht!... Ye dinna' tell yon' English & Jonathans stuff like that. Y'all know we only WRITE the same language so they'll feel at home.... Right up to the point they get off the train!

Take the test: http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelligencerreport/yankee_dixie_quiz.html Should be particular fun for the Non-US among us. Oh yeah... I'm 65% Dixie....

Everyone can rest assured that they won't lock people up for being too thin! Thin people are too expensive to lock up compared to fat people 'cos they'd have to build the cells wiff the bars A LOT closer together! Mike.

Err... You seem to have ignored Radio Astronomy, Axial Flow Jet Engines, & Radio Navigation , ALL of which I consider more important than the somewhat narrow field of weapons design! I worry that you may be subconsciously war fixated! Then again perhaps not. You never mentioned "The Fallen Madonna with the BIG Boobies!" Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Or their aircraft; Focke-Wulf TA-183 to Mig 15/Sabre... Horten 229 to B-2 Stealth... & let's talk Axial Flow Junkers jet engines as opposed to British Centrigugal flow engines - Guess which type survived? Oh yeah... Radio Astronomy, which started from re-engineered German Radar sets..... Dr. Reg Jones once infamously said that he could tell the difference between German & Allied radio equipment just by looking at how consistent it was!!! Then when Germany set up it's radio navigation system to cover the Bay of Biscay he didn't try & jam it - he designed a receiver & offered Coastal Command a reliable navigation aid over Biscay. THAT radio navigation system was adopted worldwide until supplanted by GPS. Und so weiter, und so weiter.... Mike. Edited to add: ANd NEVER forget that it's thanks to The Germans that we have "The Fallen Madonna with the BIG Boobies"!!!! Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Link: http://world.guns.ru/machine/mg32-e.htm Like I said - IDEAL for hunting deer! Interestingly, it was the MG42 design that's survived as the German MG3 & contributed the reliable bits of The US M60. In military terms the '42 was cheaper AND better. Mike.

Really? I always thought of the '42 as the better weapon. I was looking at the '34 purely as the ideal hunting rifle... perfect if you want to kill & butcher your Red Deer without leaving the comfort of your hide!! Also - no problems with wounded animals! Oh. I always thought it was a circular tin for storing a short belt. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Yeah... The whole Iraq business is now "Water Under the Bridge".... Or should that be "Oil Through the Pipeline"? Now it's time for Europe to help the US leave Iraq... I'm guessing that all the US troops in Iraq will leave by driving to Kabul to join up with their mates there... Then flying the Great Circle Route to The Marshall Islands with a layover around half way. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Now now Matt!!!! You know those things are illegal in The UK!! No magazine self loaders! Hmmm..... Is this illegal? It doesn't have a magazine! Mike.

And there Ripple has the whole thing in a nutshell. Although the amount of press coverage & protesting from both saides of this debate tend to suggest that quite a few people care passionately about this? Perhaps we can now move on to the next (from long out of) The UK Bash? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

We call it "Drag-Hunting" and it's still legal. So British Law finally catches up with Germany. Yes. The Fox ran. The Dogs chased the Fox. The riders chased the dogs. If the hunted Fox came onto your smallholding then.... Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hi Christel, We are lucky. Being an island we have managed to eradicate rabies, and we work hard at keeping it out. That's why we have the strict quarantine laws & pet passports. That was actually one of the big arguments against the Channel Tunnel - How to make sure no rabies-infected animal could use it! In the meantime, what this law bans is using packs of hounds to hunt foxes. That suits me. I had one "run-in" with a hunt some years ago! Let's just say that any future hunt that comes near me & mine is going to be met with a suitable hammer for their hounds & horses! I intensely dislike the arrogant bastards who think they can go where they wish and do as they wish while hunting a fox! Obviously I fully support the new law. Mike.

I'm guessing that "The Daily Mail" is the only "news"papaer to make it out to where you live! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/4279065.stm covers what's still legal. Like Drag-Hunting for example! There's absolutely NO reason for the fox-hunting culture to collapse. Personally, the vixen that lives about 200yards away from me doesn't cause me any problems. What WOULD cause me problems is a hunt deciding to chase her through my garden with the hounds fighting with my dogs & over-excited horses carrying under-intelligent inbreds near my kids!!! At least with a drag-hunt (one where an artificial trail is laid by a human"fox) the route and the land it crosses can be controlled, and it can stay the hell away from me. Mike. Edited to add: Err... http://www.rhodesianridgebacks.org/ Thends to suggest that Ridgebacks ARE NOT banned. Maybe it was a misprint in the Spanish Edition of The Daily Faschist!? Mike.

Hey!!! I was only giving The Man directions from Vietnam (French Indo-China) to Great Britain!!! It's not like I was giving away GWB's "Exit Route for Iraq"!.... which incidentally is straight East through Iran... Meet up with their mates from Afghanistan... Then homeward on the long-haul with the free rest stop in North Korea... Next stop Hawaii!!! Like Dubya says: "The quick way home is a straight line!" Mike. PS: So who should the Great British vote for? THe Fraud? THe Vampire? The Alcoholic? My bet is on a successful "Mitterand campaign": Vote for the fraudster - Not the fascist!

Give me time... For the moment you Could write to Kent Constabulary suggesting the daytime identity of The "Hythe & Romney Marsh Vampire"! Then write to anyone in Sedgefield & suggest that they'd be better joining with Hartlepool & voting for "The Monkey"! After that I'd suggest writing to Skye & Inverness Licensing Board in the interests of their MP's sobriety! Yeah... Straight North from Saigon (Ho-Chi-Minh City) to Hanoi & make a Left. After that it's straight on & bear Right. If you hit The Moscow One Way System then ask for directions! Mike. Edited in the interests of geography!

OK... Republican Conservatives (Tory) - Michael Howard. Democrat ------------- } Labour - Tony Blair. Socialist ????????? Liberal - Charles "Mine's a large one" Kennedy. Communist Unelectable & always have been! Libertarian Lend out books in libraries! Lies Election Manifesto - What they promise if they win. NONE ARE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! We usually go with the one who comes up with the funniest lies. After over 1,000 yearts we've found that this is the only RELIABLE way to run a Nation / Empire. Mike.

Nahhh... You just don't notice them in the pics - or the Claymores. It isn't immediately obvious in the pic, but I can assure you that the child is actually about 6' tall!

Hmmm... Let's see. I'll confine myself to suggesting that your domicile is still a bit sore about the last time they had a "Round Great BRITAIN" sailing race. I'm sure that MR2Mk1G will make some pithy and bitter comment about Patriotic English Ex-Pats living in spain - and all the defence fees he loses when they emigrate! And I suggest you invest in a suitable reinforced concrete structure for when an enraged NacMac heaves over the horizon wiff the Claymore a swingin' and the Kilt a' flashin' (disturbingly) high over his manly thighs!!! At least whichever government we get won't start out by trying to impersonate The French! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

No offence mate, but "The Scottish Map & Scissors Party" will NOT form the next Westminster Government! While it would trigger a boom in the construction industry, the cost of lengthening The River Tweed by 70 miles to the South-East AND simultaneously widening it by 10 miles will be prohibitive![P] The choice is clear & simple.
