    Lastly if the USA had not of joined with your neighbor England you and your countrymen would be bending over for national socialist goons instead of your King.

    ( Her Dad was still King in '52)


    WE know that . But HE wrote "would be " with the implication of NOW .Or he could have finished by saying , " .... of your THEN King "
    A bit Pedantic , but I thought King Charles had been anointed and I had missed out on an invite .

    You make a strawman...I fail to see the relationship between a fundamental right to self defense and soldiers attacking mobs. Pretty easy to demolish an argument I did not make.

    Why on earth do you want to give every nutter, drunk and inadequate in the United States the means to murder people unless they are supposed to fight the elected government? If organised troops come for individuals, they will take them away. If untrained clowns attack them, they will be shot. If you are not arguing for arming the mob, what are you arguing for?

    In my opinion, we should be lowering our tax burden by not enforcing purely religious laws with our secular tax dollars.

    This is so very wrong on so many levels...You misinterpret Miller and ignore Heller, today's prevailing opinion from the court.

    The collective (militia) right argument is dead. Even if it wasn't, current law notes the existence of the militia which is the entire body of able bodied folk capable of bearing arms, and Heller recognized the right a fundamental.

    Your argument would have been wrong 5 years ago and today has simply been overtaken by legal events.

    District v Heller 26 June 2008

    The opinion went on to call the right 'fundamental'...

    We as individuals have a fundamental right to self defense that exists and trumps the right of the state to act so as to remove that right. As we have reduced restrictions on arms, our violent and gun crime rate has plunged. We have over two decades of steady reductions in such crime while we have increased the number of arms and the number of folk carrying them.

    On the issue of confronting government, have we not seen a year or so of normal folk confronting despots around the world. It would have been a lot easier for their success if they had owned their own arms. You also assume the military would without comment agree to assault on a large scale citizens. While it is true that government can use force to violate an individuals rights, the more widespread that use the more resistance from the military one will find.

    What is really scary is 6% of Americans dont beleive in the Moon landing. It jumped to 20% after Fox did the documentary in Feb 2001.

    A change of American opinion of 14% from a fictional Fox TV show which I vagely remember watching as a joke.

    Yep, lots of simple minds out there.

    LOLOL.. Wouldn't you expect 6% of Americans to be stupid?

    That's about the same as the birthers and the Contrails folks...

    What is the literacy rate in the US these days?

    Anericans - in general -(poor sods - are living under so much stress - have no time to think for themselve) , are therefore easily manipulated by their thought controllers.

    Whoa, I don't take loans from loan sharks, and I didn't say I'm not working, I just said I'm living outside my means, so I doubt I'll end up homeless. Money is cheap in America! Worst case I'll have to pay these debts off at low interest for the rest of my life; but at least I get to enjoy all the junk I bought! Best case is the end-of-the-world scenario, which means my loans were all free! Like in Fight Club! Then there's the bonus scenario: I can just declare bankruptcy and start over! :crazy: Wheeeeeee!!!!!

    Maybe we should be thankful to the gods and their communing their wisdom to our Founding Fathers to enumerate our supreme law of the land and that we should seek the Blessings of Liberty with our social contract.

    I tried the Farmer Jones route. My house is now surrounded by fruit and nut trees and bushes, all of which I planted and nurtured.

    The result? Many well-fed squirrels, possums and raccoons. I get very little. I'm inside city limits, so I'm not allowed to shoot them. Nor is it legal to trap and relocate them. I suppose I could trap, bludgeon and dispose of the bodies, but that seems like a lot of effort, and unnecessarily cruel, given the current non-collapse environment.

    If civilization collapses, then I'll massacre the varmints, because then it will be okay to shoot them. Until then, I'll have to share.

    Whatever protection you think your "founding farters " (sic) secured for you , it has long ago been eroded (without you being aware ) by their successors.

    But , dont let tittle detail spoil your dream - dream on.

    Never ceases to amaze me how people who don't even live here run around pretending they have any clue what American life is like. Watch a few news shows, pick up a few newspapers, read a few posts here and there, and boom! Experts on all things American. And, oddly, normally all their expertise is on the negative aspects of how we do business, culturally or otherwise. And all the more high-and-mighty if they've ever set foot here, even if it was only to go to a school.

    Tell me, do you folks bother with your own front porch, or is it just easier to fuss at us about ours rather than fix your own? Last I checked, Scotland's looking to leave the UK, the EU's finances are in a mess and your little war we had to bail you out of in Libya is now apparently going to create yet another Islamist nation for us to have to deal with. Hell, I even saw a bit about Wales wanting out of the UK. What sort of message should and American take from that?

    We have been behind the powercurve before. We're not even all that far behind now. In the 1930s, it was the Great Depression and Nazi Germany. In the 1950s, it was Sputnik and the Soviets. In the 1980s, it was the Japanese and all out industrial capacity moving overseas. And in the 1990s, it was our own leftists watching with envy the EU coalescing into reality, where the Euro would buy more than the dollar ever could and everyone paid taxes to have the government do everything for you.

    We survived them all. In fact, we did better than survive them—we used those hard times to improve our standing in the world. And we will do the same here. Once America has recovered and moved ahead, the EU will follow us, and the world will be a better place for it. And we’ll still have our naysayers out there, still desperately attempting to take us down a peg.

    Have at it. And wallow in your irrelevance.
