It is a valid point, though, that the rest of the world thinks we're idiots to equate "throwing our guns away" to "being killed." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry that you get so hung-up on your Texas bigotry (the continuous "corral" comments) that you no longer have a sense of humor. It's always nice to see someone from Germany, in this thread and others, acting so superior to the rest of the world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to wonder what else she thinks"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

I guess the answer is no. Well, as long as you're angry. LMAO I guess that depends on how you hear him saing what he typed. If you had ever actually met JR, you could hear the inflection in his voice. He types in the same conversational tone that he speaks in.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see anyone here complaining about spelling by Germans in Germany. Easy, Mr. Rich. Not many Germans enter that funny SC forum. OTOH, I'd like to meet another alien correcting my German ..... - and how many Americans do enter the German forum???? Hmmm?? Would YOU be capable to correct my German? How many languages do you speak (fluently), Mr. Rich? I'm just curious. It's boring, man. You're boring.
