It really isn't the gun that is so bad. The bulletproof vest

BULLETPROOF VEST!???? Isn't that passive-defence? You must be one of those
pinko massachusetts homocrats I read about on President Bush's website.
Surely the real all american solution is just to get a BIGGER GUN than the
bad guy?

Actually, gun ownership in the US isn't as widespread as you might think.
Vito also misses one very important fact, most of the stolen weapons on the
streets of the US come from.......drum roll please.........home
burglaries!!!!!!! guns, especially handguns, being portable, valuable and
easy to sell. This myth about self-defense is simply something tossed out by
the NRA to promote gun ownership. The responsible handgun owner has his
weapon locked and unloaded, a burglar comes in the house(generally unarmed,
most states in the US have fairly draconian penalties associated with the
use of a firearm in the commission of a felony) and the homeowner is
supposed to unlock the weapon, load it and capture the burglar?
BWAHAHAHAHHAHA. Burglars target unoccupied dwellings because......another
drumroll please......it increases their likelihood of NOT GETTING CAUGHT.
Real simple stuff. The alternative, keeping an unlocked loaded gun in the
house increases the chance of little Billy blowing his own or his friends
brains out, as the authorities in this major metropolitan area(Detroit) will
sadly confirm. Or, in the worst case scenario, getting those gun(s) and
going somewhere and massacring half of the school. Oh well, just the price
to pay if you want to live in the greatest, freest country on the planet.

It's ALMOST as stupid as the gun
phobia that infects Europe. US burgulars ply their trade when victims
are
out because they know that we are armed and will eagerly shoot them but
Euro
criminals prefer to rob occupied dwellings because they know you are
psychologically incapable of self defense. Different strokes for .....



It must suck having to lug a gun with you everywhere in the US for
"self-defence". I hate even having to carry a cell-phone. What a
restriction
on your personal liberty!

You mean you don't all start shooting each other as soon as you have a row
over a hamburger? C'mon, you're pulling my leg, we have documentaries like
Starsky & Hutch on the telly here in France about life in Amerika and they
always pull out their guns after tops a couple of minutes of dialogue.

I once emailed the NRA expressing concern that I couldn't prebook over the
internet for pick up at Miami airport a decent rifle to defend myself whilst
I took my family to Disneyland, adding that if possible I would like
lightweight handguns for my two children (aged 4 and 6) and a
grenade-launcher for my wife. They sent me back a very nice email saying
that I made a very valid point and said they had forwarded it to some
congressman or other for consideration.

Vito stated: they freak out because
they were exposed to an organ intended to feed children with.

I think that if the press hadn't amde such a big issue about it and kept =
the media hype going, the whole incident would have been a big nothing. =
All it was was a desperate attempt to draw attention away from her =
brother's sick little predicament out there on his Rainbow Ranch of =
Raunch and Rancidness. Had nothing to do with her boob at all.

Thanks for a bit of reason. In Europe we're still laughing at all the fuss
over a boob.

We thought it was tasteless and not presented in the proper forum.



What a weird country where exposure of a woman's breast creates
such a fuss,


It was not the display of janets hooter. It was her sticking out in
front of millions of children.

yet prime time television is full of violence and guns.

Expected violence and guns, If parents object to kids seeing violence
and guns they can chose other programming. If we knew Janet was going
to flash us with her decorated augmented leather bound bossum, we
would of sent little Jane or Dick to the other room during the
halftime slut show.


Sex is
healthy and good for you,


Who said it was not good and healthy?
The diffrence is between the Sex and the Sleeze.

Americans are sexy. Guess what Europeans are?


getting your head blown off by a gun is rather
unhealthy and bad for the spirit.

Thats correct O brainiac. We would raise a fuss if during the
SuperBowl halftime Janet blew her head off~~~~just not as much a fuss.


It seems obvious to me which should be
censored more - but I know that America disagrees...

We do not like any censorship, We expect more of our public preformers
than to flash us at the Superbowl. Most see it as a washed up singer
trying to create a scandal. This type of action is back firing just
ask the Dixie Bitches.

You urapeein's laugh at and hunch most things in public, your reply is
typical of a PN. But get it thru your thick skull ~~ It was not about
her tit.

Why on earth do you imagine that children have never seen a woman's boob
before? What do you imagine they sucked on when they were little? And why on
earth do you imagine it damaging for children to see a woman's breast?

The weird US attitude to women's breasts probably explains the social
pressure on young women in US to have entirely unhealthy silicon implants.

Hahah... well, that's pretty funny. We "don't like any censorship," but
you're quite willing to censor the Dixies.

Sorry, John, gotta disagree with you. A consumer boycott is not
censorship. AFAIK the US govt hasn't banned the Dixies' songs,
performances et al.

I boycott Greenpeace and their ilk because I think they're mainly
wrong, pretty wholly dishonest and becoming part of the problem. I'm
not calling for them to be banned, tho.

I said he was "willing" to do it, not the gov't actually doing it,
so there's nothing to disagree about unless you think they
should be censored.
