OK, That made me LOL!

As for arming myself when "the revolution" comes, I am glad I don't live in America is all I have to say. And if worse comes to worse, I have ten huge bags of dog food in the basement, and I am not afraid to eat it! :p

I think I am done with this thread. Still haven't changed my mind, but it was interesting hearing the other point of view.

Oh, there are more of then than you think. Micheal Moore wants everyone to think all Canadians are tree hugging hippys. Indeed, we in the USA could learn a lot from our northern friends. The thing that jumps out at me most is the wonderfully strong work ethic up there. I honestly cannot recall a time in my many, many visits where I recieved bad customer service at a fast food place or gas station, you know the places where you are lucky to get 3 seconds of decent attention here. Of course, I spend as little time as possible in the bigger cities, London is where I go the most.

Fair enough... To me this issue is about freedom. The more freedom we give to our governments, the less our lives are our own. Ability to own a weapon gives us all the ability to take back those freedoms should it come to it. See, everybody likes to bitch about freedom being taken away, but how many people would actually be ready, as the founding fathers of the USA were, to actually DO something about it? This guy IS. Of course, I pray all the time it never comes to that. Eternal vigilence is the price of freedom.

Andy Rooney is my hero!!!

I, too, agree with this. I do not think it is arrogant in the least. I think it is common sense.

If I were moving to France or Germany or Mexico, I would most certainly learn the language! I would probably never be perfectly fluent, but I would do the best I possibly could to learn the language.

I would not for one minute expect the government of another country to make concessions for me and duplicate signs, instructions, etc. in English. I think THAT is extremely arrogant!
