Why are you concerned about why he's concerned? Do you never worry about what happens to other people outside your own borders? Of course, I do. But rarely caring about their weapons And disarmed as we are, we poor little Germans, I just do welcome every decision to ban weapons, wherever that country might be. You should study your own history. I may not remember right but when we studied the Third Reich in school we learned that one of the first things Hitler did when he got power was ban all gun ownership by private citizens. What I said: Disarmed. And your smart point is ....???? I do not see any point in your reply. Troll. Your post is BS, just shooting from "the hip" w/o any background. Try again. Okay. I try again. My point is that it is not good when a government disarms the people because then people cannot stop there government from doing horrible things. Even Canada lets people have rifles just not handguns. When Hitler disarmed the Germany people, they lost there power to fight the horrible things he did and many millions of Germans, Poles, Russians and other Euros died because of it, even some Canadians. I am sorry I did not say that at first, I thought you knew. Yes, dear. I knew. What I learned in school. Even some of you North Americans still believe we modified our history: We did not. We have been teached every single bloody detail. OTOH, we tremendously increased our college education. How about yours? dudeist skydiver # 3105

I see your point, but I think you miss mine. "African- Americans for Obama" may support Obama simply because he is African-American. That would be racist. If they support him because they agree with his policies, and they happen to be African-American, that is not racist. If "Non-African-Americans Against Obama" are against him simply because he is African-American, that is racist. If they are against him for other reasons, and they happen not to be African-American, that is not racist. The OP discovered a website called African-Americans for Obama, and instantly assumed that it was a bunch of racists. I was merely pointing out that the organization may or may not be racist. Just because they are a group of people who share a race, does not make them racist. In other words, would an organization called "African-Americans for Romney" automatically be racist? I don't think so, maybe you do. Where do White African Americans fit into your pigeonholes? Or are you only referring to Black African Americans? Oh, I know several white Africans, living and working in the States having dual citizenship. Are they "White African Americans" ? Or are you only referring to Black African Americans? dudeist skydiver # 3105

NationMasters site shows quite interesting figures. Regarding drug offences, you are right. Especially in big(ger) cities, it's becoming a problem. Drugs and property crimes are walking hand in hand. And there still is the problem of illegal guns - there are too many in Germany. Hence, I dislike every gun in private/unauthorized hands. Anyhow, visiting Europe is no death verdict. Like everywhere in the world, you do not need to show your Rolex (with brilliants, of course) at every corner in the red light district at 4am ... and you'll be just fine! dudeist skydiver # 3105

Have a nice trip! Don't you worry. Most visitors/travellers from overseas tend to come back home in safe condition.

I'm going to side with the pig and John on this one. The question was: If possession of firearms by individuals is against your values in any way, why do you own a firearm? (I think I caught the flavor) I think it is a valid question. It's one of the reasons I can't respect Dianne Fienstein. She is a devout opponent of private ownership of firearms, but has one herself. Please don't argue that you would give up yours if everyone else gave up theirs. 1. Everyone will not. Only law-abiding people will. And some of those will hold onto them to protect against the criminals. 2. There will still be a disparity in safety. The weak will be greater prey to the strong. (God made men. Samuel Colt made them equal.) So, you did dodge the question and demean piggie in the process. I think your answer (re-worded for clarity) was: "I say one thing and do another". You and I live in free countries, so you may be on someones side as long as you like USoA: Weapons for (nearly) everybody. Your choice. Your tragedies on daily basis, your dead bodies. Your top rankings.... *You* seem to need them. Germany: Weapons only for hunters (which did a hard 9 months work reading, learning, trainings, lots of examinations, spending thousands of EUROs) - they may keep them, like I do. For hunting. Additionally, at any time the police could pop up at my door to control where my toys are stored and how safe! And there it ends. No weapons for self defense. *We* do not need them in daily life. Wrong. I always said the same like shown above under "Germany" PS: Your above points 1) and 2) cannot be applied in same pattern from the USofA to Germany. And Sam Colt is not our hero. dudeist skydiver # 3105

It would seem that Skypiggie asked you too many hard, logical questions, for which you have no hard logical answers. So instead you claim weakly that she "doesn't understand". Actually, I think Skypiggie understands your position perfectly, and called you out for it. But instead of explaining what you claim to be misunderstanding, and clearing up the contradictions in your position, you take the low road in response. Everyone has noticed. Skypiggie wins. THAT was my answer before. Seems, he was not satisfied with it? Perhaps, he just should have read it a little better - so that would've been enough to enlighten him. His *questions* are far from beeing "hard" or even "logical" - it was just blowing something out of proportion. This is SC, means it's easier to ignore something and follow your own ideas. I'm doing the same (from time to time ). "If everybody has noticed?" Who gives a sh*t?? "If Piggie wins?" - see above - dudeist skydiver # 3105

I do what I wanna do, dear - just stop talking about things you do not understand. Piggie. dudeist skydiver # 3105

Yes, SkyPiggie, I'd turn them in, w/o tears and screaming For what else than hunting do I need a gun? dudeist skydiver # 3105

Wow! That's what I call some essential knowledge of life dudeist skydiver # 3105

Why that? Someone's been pissing in your beer? Or there is no beer where you're right now? Heads up sweetie, soon there will be another morning with bright sunshine - only for you! Do not worry about that guy - his money will help him out, no matter where he's arrested. dudeist skydiver # 3105

Can you please cite where Sharia law has ever been used in a criminal court of the United States? http://www.aclu.org/blog/religion-belief/debunking-mythical-sharia-threat-our-judicial-system Cant but it hased used it against women in divorce procedings in the US Holy crab, rushmc Not only your post is BS, reading your above post clearly is a danger for the eyes .... dudeist skydiver # 3105

Everytime I read your sigline, I'm asking myself: WHAT ARE FEW MINUTES, HOW MANY minutes will *you* be able to stop breathing? Shouldn't *everyone* jump to help you? .... instead of jumping to conclusions? dudeist skydiver # 3105

Holy Crap That's ignorance at its best. Pride goeth before a fall .... Everyone has their own perception. Ever heard that? Anyhow, as long as its within the rules, it's OK. I really do not want to know what your *counselor* job means. I really enjoy watching you Libs get your panties in a bunch. Do you know "the rules?" Reality exists in the mind of the beholder. Some people are crazy and some are sane. Some are evil and some are good. How do you tell the difference? If a person starts acting and talking crazy I assume they are crazy. If someone threatens me I assume they are evil. As a professional with training, I can hang in there much longer than most people. So, judge all you want from the outside looking in. Because, in the end that is where you are, namely, on the outside guessing about the inside. I am no Lib in the American kind of view, inform yourself and you will see there are worlds between *us Libs and your Libs*. But, I doubt you will do. Your post shows how much you are stuck in your conviction, just like many old people are: Unable to adjust to changing times. Lost in memories. dudeist skydiver # 3105

Yes, my darling, I do - but only for skydiving. Mine shows "Tonto", which I wanted to meet in person in SA and just missed him few hours before he died. Thanks to some nice guys here on this site, I was in the position to get one. dudeist skydiver # 3105

We/I do not feel threatened. Doors and windows need to be closed, thats normal - violent encroachments are rare. Piggie, my country is not No. 1 in any crime statistic. We live a quite normal life in which weapons have no place. Live with it. We're doing the same. dudeist skydiver # 3105

So when someone breaks into your home and is about to inflict violence upon you and your family, then what is YOUR non-cowboy solution? That's not the business of Mr. Larkin. And surely not yours. Keep your cowboy behaviour in Texas. Before telling us how to kill ourselves, you should clean your own backyards at first. dudeist skydiver # 3105

You are working for God? Did he tell you to *bless* others in his name? Wow, what a job. Well paid? dudeist skydiver # 3105

For my kids: No coke. No lemonade. They never tried (at least when I was around). No fast food. They love chicken, fish, no red meat - never! - pasta, ketchup hand made by mom (usually, there is too much sugar in the bottles), nobody is asking for sweets. I love to mix curd cheese with joghurt and fresh fruits - yummy, this is our *sweets*. Fruits of the season, veggies of the season. For me: Salads w/tuna, vegetables, salmon, no bread, cheese all day long, no *hard* alcohol, white wine from time to time, salad, spinach! I love it! Did I mention cheese? I'm living for it. Cheese does not need bread. Eggs from time to time for all. The boss in the house needs a *Schnitzel* once per month - he may enjoy it All this industrial sh*t is just sh*t No meat is needed. dudeist skydiver # 3105

Really, JR. Try to think a bit more international: That's Great Britain, not the USoA. Their country, their rules. Accept it or leave it. If you're not welcome, you're not welcome - that is international. Texas has its own rules, the UK too - not every country needs that much self-defense (British English) like others. dudeist skydiver # 3105

Well, he was a popular actor, reading his screenplay! Easy to talk to masses like that .....it was his job for many years (mostly in front of a camera) Jeez, folks like you are living in the past and in their dreams. It needs a bit more in order to take you seriously. dudeist skydiver # 3105
