mpohl 1 #251 October 14, 2015 Why would you say that? Never heard, in your albeit limited world, about carrying people more than one passport? If you can't even afford one? A US passport. I carry two. My children carry three. What's your problem, dimwit? jbscout2002*** Why, as a devoted American citizen would I care to be on another continent? I love my country!

Well I ask because you told me how much you hated America last week, and now you are talking about how much of a proud American citizen you are and telling Americans that if they don't like your idea of good legislation then they should move to Somalia. Remember like 2 months ago when you said this, QuoteYou can just flush the US down the drain and the world would be a better place. Also I don't remember my passport even costing anything, so if the number of passports is how you measure wealth, then you are kind of immature in how life works. I don't know your background, but given my experience in living in Belgium, Italy, and Japan, my leisure travels, and military deployments, I would confidently say I have met or exceeded your "limited world".

jbscout2002 1 #257 October 14, 2015 mpohlYou have anything reasonable to add about gun violence in the US? Or just trying to be a side-show ventriloquist? Ok, how about we look to your perfect Germany as an example we all should strive for. From the top. Your great leader, your furor, who has made these famous statements: "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or native police." - "Hitler’s Table Talk", 1941-1944: Secret Conversations And, “History teaches us that all master races have declined once they consented to arm the peoples they had conquered.” - “The Mind of Adolf Hitler” by H.R. Trevor-Rope Does this on November 11, 1938. The Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons were promulgated by Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Frick, effectively depriving all Jews, gays, handicapped, gypsies, Jahovas Whitnesses, and political enemies living under the Third Reich of the right to possess any weapons. Then the Nazi army KILLS 11,000,000 PEOPLE Then they lose their second World War, and eventually, in 1972, the new restrictive Federal Weapons Act (Bundeswaffengesetz) became effective, partly as a reaction to the terror of the Red Army Faction. It was developed in the Federal Weapons Act of 2002 and by amendments in 2008 and 2009. These laws were the result of a chain of school shootings in Erfurt, Emsdetten and Winnenden. This led to a public debate, in which blame was attributed to various elements of youth culture and society, including violent computer games, television programs, rock music and private gun ownership. (Freaking genius. Germany, a country whose history was largely free of violence until video games, of course.) So I am left with two basic questions here. 1. Why didn't your very restrictive gun laws prevent three mass school shootings? 2. Who the fuck are you to tell us how to be running our country?

jbscout2002 1 #258 October 14, 2015 A World War II Royal Air Force pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force. "In 1942," he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared. (At this point, several of the children giggle.) "I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me." At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, "I think I should point out that 'Fokker' was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company." "That's true," says the pilot, "but these fokkers were flying Messerschmitts." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody ever claimed you can prevent 100% of the violence. German police uses about 100 bullets per year. 2.

I appreciate your input, and understand this is an international discussion. My question was directed towards the person who often boasts about how much he hates America and American service members, but then tells Americans if they disagree with him, they should leave. If you have dual citizenship and America sucks so bad, then why have you chosen to live here over your native country? Maybe that particular person and the rest of America would be better off if he just went home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
