@grindorblackout1986 they have plastic ones now. Airsoft guns shoot little plastic BB's while pellette guns shoot metal mushroom-shaped bullet...ettes XD
To the person who said "Dont exeggerate with your patrioism please, America is a shitty country full of ppl who think they are the greatest but really, they arent" I think you meant to say Canada.
To the idiotic comments on here. Carlin didn't say he was anti gun. He was just pointing out how crazy it is to ban a toy weapon that MIGHT hurt someone but keep the guns that can KILL PEOPLE. That would be like making sex illegal and making rape legal. Lol
Not only that, but people are not taking into consideration of the time in which Carlin made this joke. People are like, yeah, well they actually have a law that blah blah blah. This joke was made in 1988 not 2011.
@TriviumCrusader17 As one of those crazy "dickless" NRA members (I only joined the NRA for the gun insurance they offer) George Carlin talks about, that was spot on, on his point.
lol the same people trying to ban the toy guns are trying to ban the real guns, they want all guns or things that resemble them banned. Thing is though theres no huge lobby behind airsoft guns, like their is real firearms. Firearms dealers do get a list of criminals , but no list of mentally handicapped but then again if they got that it could violate other rights one has, like privacy, doctor to client privileges
You can be a gun owner-no one is denying your right to that. But you honestly can't argue with the sheer logic of Carlin's point: why bother making toy guns illegal of we are going to keep the real one's legalized?
probably in the assumption that kids shouldn't mess around with guns. if adults buy a guy, it's a real one, and as an adult, you are assumed to have an fully develloped brain
@xTheGerbilx Welcome to America-the country where, as Carlin points out, an adult can purchase a gun even if they don't have a fully formed brain, but God forbid kid's play with a toy one!
that's pretty much the problem with such a big, diverse country, you cannot avoid those things happening, you can only assume that the avarage grown man is mentally stable. besides, it still is safer now, so it is positive progress (though it be small)
@ooNATIVEoo That is waaaay to simple. That's like telling Hitler to please stop killing people. You can't snap your fingers and everyone agrees and is willing to comply.
@Yuzuki1337 my comment was the 2nd line of a quote from team America: world police ...witch is a movie about how stupid america is...in any case shut your fucking mouth, fi we were all fuck-tards with our heads shoved up our asses we wounden't be the world super power.
@bugboy357m World's super power? You're going to come up with something stupider than that to make anyone think you're really *trying* to sound like a fool.
Hey supersirius listen to carlin, quote " we are somewhat civilized beasts, where barley outa the jungle". Just thought I'd share that. Oh and I'm sure I'll laugh the day the chinesse what Their money back. Cheers Canada
Hey mjw9396 your country is hundreds of trillions in debt. Your maxed out, no one will let the us borrow money anymore. And carlin counters most of your arguments. Sorry guys had to point that out.
@SuperSirius11 Obviously they use real ones cuz you can't kill people with an airsoft gun but yes they do train with gas powered airsoft guns to practice tactics. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than simunition and safer than blank-firing. They still do live fire too obviously but it shows there's an appreciation for airsoft in the real world. You've probably never even been in an airsoft milsim game.
@JdmTheMilitaryMan Milsim only goes so far. They use real ones because they handle a lot differently. Sure it's cheaper but that doesn't hide the notion that a person who claims Airsoft is SOLELY used to train them is a moron. I have been. I also plan on being a SEAL and have handled firearms so thank you for your time.
@SuperSirius11 Well that makes you and me both pal so I'll look for you in the teams. I never claimed airsoft is solely used to train them if you could read I mentioned two other ones they use. My point is that airsoft is a viable milsim alternative for practicing tactics and it's been proven by countless law enforcement and within the armed forces. Good for you, youve shot guns well so have I and that doesn't make you qualified to criticize something you clearly know nothing about.
the statistics for gun violence in America are coming from the GIANT gang wars in NY and L.A and cities all around America they don't really apply to legal gun owners,of course we have a high rate of gun related crimes we have a full blown war going on in the streets guns are imported and sold illegally and used by the estimated 2 million gang members responsible for more then 80% of crimes in communities across the nation,CA and NY have the toughest gun laws and there the places with gun crime
gangs get guns from illegal gun runners that import guns from allover the world,they don't buy them from gun shops because there are background checks before you can buy firearms guns bought,legally are 100% traceable,don't be fooled baning/regulating guns wont stop them they don't care about the law and the guns are smuggled anyway,it just stops good responsible citizens from having the means to defend there life and hunt,fix the problem gangs commit 90% of the murders not the legal gun owners
so its 90% gangs murdering people and each other, the other 10% is police officers killing people,homicide,and self defense,so its not 90% of gun violence in America is caused by sane responsible legal gun owners killing everyday like anti gun and gun control advocates would have you believe,legal gun owners are not dangerous they follow the rules respect rule of law and human life they have the means to save lives and often do,if we are disarmed we are at the mercy of gangs and government,THINK
He isn't saying that guns are bad. He was talking about how ludicrous it was that people were up in arms (pun intended) about how toy guns are dangerous for children's minds, and how they promoted violence. He is basically just saying it's is a bizarre double standard we have.
@94jg No, he's definitely not wearing a snuggie, it's a baggy shirt lol. George Carlin wouldn't be caught dead in a snuggie. Anyone who owns a snuggie is corporate america's bitch, which George Carlin was not.
forget gun control and stopping crime, there's no connection. It is wirth supporting however just to stave off those really avoidable situations like some less than stable going berserk and blowing his wife's head off.
Please somebody tell me why Americans should have guns, I really don't understand it. Do they expect Osama to just walk into their house or something? I bet most guns aren't used for any practical purpose, and those that are used are mostly used in crimes. I leave those areas with savage bears and other dangerous animals beyond concideration, but what would you use a gun for in a city??
@LangeE612 Honestly? People here just like to shoot. Saying that guns here are ONLY used in crimes is just plain wrong, most people just like to shoot for fun. Like at a target range or way off from civilization. Another reason is for protection, Osama wont come to our house, but Billy who is desperate for money won't hesitate to blow your brains out for 50 bucks.
@EstoppelFox I understand that you like to shoot guns, but legalizing guns for entertainment purposes seems a little weird to me
And how do you think Billy got his gun? Here in Holland only the police has guns, they're here to protect us. Of course, some people have illegal guns and the police isn't always there, but when it's that hard to get a gun, why use it to get 50 bucks? It's obvious that countries legalizing guns have higher crime rates
The "right to bare arms" is the second line in our constitution, our constitution is unchangeable, not only that, but changing it at all would be a huge disaster, it's not my opinion, it's just how it is.
It's not hard to get a gun here, depends on the state, but mostly you just need to have a clean criminal record, or if your ARE a criminal, you can buy one off the streets easily from someone who either stole or smuggled a bunch, or steal one.
@LangeE612 Americans have the write to own weapons it's stated in the American Constitution that a Militia and the people should always be armed. keep in mind after the American Revolution the USA got rid of it's military so all it had was Militia and armed citizens to defend it self with.
also if you really look at history the Wild West had less crime then the East. why? because everyone in the West was packing heat.
@Londron well guns are tools so what?, they put food on the table. Even when its in the military then it protects your family it only becomes a weapon when in the wrong hands like a just like a knife in the wrong hands. Plus look at it like this, you take away guns, criminals use knifes you take away knifes, they will use bats hammers etc. You take away those they will use their fist and feat. You take away those you wont be able to cut meat, houses wont be built and people cant walk or grab
Hey, I don't think we should go that far. Look at NYC, which bans guns in most cases, except for people like police officers, people who have stores in high-crime areas, etc. It's got it share of crimes, but if you compare to any major city which has guns, the murder rate is much lower.
@ericx777 me thinks if black men moved there, there'd be no difference. It is the culture not the race that makes the difference. we're talking about the difference between a country where everybody ignores everybody else and knows almost nobody on their on city block vs a place where almost everyone within a town might know each other by name
@fleskfan100 Your argument is destroyed in one, fell swoop: You cannot apply the case of REDUCED (not banned, that's against con law) gun presence to the complete banning of firearms across the US, a country that has one of the highest crimerates of any first world country, especially when compared to the UK (guns are banned) which has a much lower murder rate than the US. You're saying that because it's cold outside, the earth is going through an ice age.
@wizardsbane ahhh The UK...which leads the world in Knife murders...get real...How many Grizzly Bears or Mountain Lions live in that deforested mud hole??..Alligators???....I live in Arizona were we can carry guns at any time...there was a 250lb Mnt Lion and her cubs on my golf course a few weeks back...There is a reason why America is a gun culture...or maybe we could be like France..have our wifes and mothers raped by Nazi..our farmers guns came in handy when we defeated the UK in wars.....
@mjw9363 Your argument has so many logical progression flaws and just complete inaccuracies that really, I just couldn't be bothered to point them out. Going back to my original point: An isolated case does not justify the legality of firearms. And your knowledge of history is the most shoddy piece of trash I've heard.
@wizardsbane Do you know what rationalizing is?????...it's what red blooded men do when their government
doesn't allow them to have things they desire....can you imagine how gay this looks to Americans!!!???.....
If you can't understand I don't live in a country with little Lemmings and tiny birds...this is a gun culture on ONE.... protection from animals...TWO motherfucker...protection from invading Armies like when OUR farmers who ALREADY were armed and crack shots TOOK their independence
@wizardsbane I guess if you were out golfing with your child and you were confronted by a 250lb cat I'd suppose you'd lob your purse at it....What part of a SIMPLE argument don't you understand...France had one of the biggest armies at the outbreak of WW2...within weeks...they're Woman were sucking German cocks.....Now I'm gonna send you a link of that Cougar on my Golf course..so hopefully your simpleton mind can think it out..Maybe I could of scared it off with a toy, huh..IDIOT...THINK
@mjw9363 Just sent you a link proving how fucking difficult it is to be killed by a Mountain Lion, both as a hiker (within breeding territory) and regular circumstance (out of breeding and hunting territory). How does your France argument make any sense, you dunce. If they had the largest army, they obviously didn't go the no-gun route. Even history shows they weren't anti-gun at the time. Get a real fucking argument you ignorant hick.
@wizardsbane I didn't even finish reading your IGNORANCE....walk up on a Lion and her cubs on a course and tell me how hard it is, okay.......SECONDLY, numbnuts...so now I have to send you a link of SEVERAL woman who have been killed jogging in recent years in Cali by Lions??MMMM????...I'll send ya some fucking ALLIGATOR stories as well..idiot...what's gonna kill you in the UK...a Lemming...mole, swallow???..WE have 1,500 lb BEARS MORON..don't even go there with this argument..you'll lose it
You need guns to defend your liberty? So that means an overpaid military force isn't enough, it needs dozens of guns for each person they will probably use once or never.
Honestly, the cold war and WW2 is over. Did all your guns prevented 9/11? I don't think so.
@casualuserable A German!!!! Do you think a Fucking American wan't to hear ANYTHING from a fucking Kraut!!?? get the fuck out of here.....It sure is too bad the French didn't average 5 weapons a household...I myself have the exact same assault rifle the US Army uses..come try and invade the USA you IDIOT.....no how many times foreign troops occupied our land after whipping the UK's ass??!? ZERO...how many German woman sucked Russian Cocks?? How many French Women were raped...UNTOUCHABLE the USA
Respond to this video...I can hear you telling Europe..."hey man...world war 1 is over...no need to have a well equipped home defense"....That way..EVIL Countries like YOUR homeland can rape and plunder all of Europe..until the USA came and kicked your fucking evil asses....your welcome for defending...setting up, feeding and protecting West Germany...you fucking fool.....How are you gonna defend your family in a emergency...lob your purse at 'em.....
Actually I'm half british, half greek. But besides that, there is the military that defends the country, you don't need to arm yourself with a dozen weapons. And wars don't happen over night, there are always signs before one, so you would have enough time to arm yourself.
@casualuserable Oh so your half ugly..half Gay..okay...this BULL your trying to sell here..so.TWO...let me give you a scenario...what would happen if the USA put out a law tomorrow saying everyone needs to turn in their guns?
Do ya think the Criminals would turn in there Guns??mmm?? so like in your country ONLY criminals would have guns....Get a clue and quit being jealous of our freedoms
Uhm, europe has just as much freedom as the USA. I was just questioning your point that ppl need aLot of weapons to prepare for an invading force, nothing more.
And I will not try to prove my nationality to someone like you, as this seems like a waste of time if I would.
@casualuserable Really???..yeah there is a lot of "freedom" in Turkey....and once AGAIN the UK courts are telling their press what they can and can't publish.....Germany???..so you can have Nazi rallies???..like in the USA??..not saying it's right but we have that right..YOU DON'T......and your "freedom" in Germany is due to the end of an American Rifle that allowed ANY type of decent and democratic life Germany (west) has enjoyed since the USA held of Stalin from TAKING IT ALL...No?????
You know, there are also people around the world that say: "America is being led by the rich american companies and banks. They all think they are No.1 and are greedy for war etc." Did I mention any of this? Did I actually said that the USA should better mind their own f*cking buisness? No! To your point about WW2, I appreciate that the allies destroyed the third reich (I'm half british,half greek if you've forgotten).
@casualuserable and you should quit getting your American History from American Movies....The poor peaceful Indians just minding there own business not hurting anyone and we just came and killed almost all of them,,problem is, stupid...they warred and killed and murdered each other for a thousand years before settlers arrived..it was these killers who killed FIRST..stop with stereotype of peaceful loving people..ALL men kill each other we were just better at it...
@casualuserable Let me ask you??..How many 10ft tall 1500lb bears are running around Germany?.I had a 250lb mnt Lion w/ cubs on my golf course last month...how many Rattlesnakes do you walk up on daily?? I live in Arizona where we can wear or conceal a firearm..are catching on why??.Indian attacks..bear attacks..invasions from the UK..the gun shaped, made and protected the USA..when should we of turned them in?? 1890? 1905...too late...I bet the British wished our civilians weren't armed
for the last time. That was not my point! You mentioned that ppl need guns to defend themselfes against other invading countries. I was sceptical about that and mentioned it. And you start talking about WW2, germans still being nazis and all the other reasons why civilians should have guns.
But what you just wrote is about a revolution. Not quite the same.
@casualuserable We're glad you trust the German government...we don't and we never trust any government....after all the German government has never really done anything to doubt them, right..or how England took most of the world for their own over the last 300 years...cept ONE country..the country where the civilians were well armed....end of story
@casualuserable ahhh> I see you removed your DUMB statement about the USA was separated by an ocean and many miles from Europe (don't forget we were also fighting the Asian Super Power Japan AT THE SAME TIME ...ALONE).....can ya see how STUPID that argument is ????..well,.. I'll explain it real quick.....didn't stop US from occupying Germany, Europe AND Japan did it?????.. isn't it the SAME distance for us as well??.mmmm??? NEVER argue with an American...just like in war..you'll NEVER win
Actually I meant this seriously. I only removed it after posting, because I thought this would end in another discussion(where none of us would win). But since you saw the comment, I'll just add: You had an materialistic advantage and where higher in number. On the long run you would have won the war eitherway.
@casualuserable Really??? at the start of the War we were the 24th largest army in the World...France??? SECOND...didn't seem to help them did it???.....Germany and Japan were much more advanced than us in war technology at the outbreak..WE believed in PEACE..WE were an "isolationist" country....as you all say.."who elected you the worlds police"...well Frans...YOU did.....We wanted nothing to do with both world wars...Churchill spent over a year begging for us to enter..again....YOU'RE WELCOME
@mjw9363 AND one more thing....Russia was twice as large as Germany and had the "material" and size.....they got their fucking ASSES kicked.... Hitler took large city after large city..now DIDN'T HE???...if you know your history..the ONLY thing that stopped Hitler was the WEATHER...mud...snow...and due to the EASE and speed of his assault ..they outran their supply line.....NOTHING that Russia did with their MUCH larger Army and material.........stop now...while you're ahead
At that point I must say that the japs had conflic. on several other islands. Additionally, they had older military equipment then the USA. After Pearl habour USA entered war, it was only then that the military force rappidly grew(I meant materialistic in a sense of ressources).Didn't the US also used warships and bombers in large scale against the japs, who couldn't rly do much against these odds? And G.(+Italy)was/where fighting against the european countries and later russia and UK
@casualuserable Japan was a larger more powerful military than the USA. at the outset..deal with the truth...secondly you act as if these thousands of bombers..tanks..ships were just found one day in the USA...we had to fucking build the shit..we mobilized..we came together...Japan and Germany had just as much resources as the USA...difference???...Generals were told what to do by a Dictator and a Emperor.against logical advice...something we have NEVER had a problem with...
@casualuserable let me ask you a question since I KNOW you have a fraction of the actual freedoms of an american....can you join an organized neo-nazi party and march in the streets legally in Germany?????...nah...you know you can't....and even though we in large majority think it's wrong...it's allowed in our Constitution..who is the Government to say what you can belong in??...what you can join???...see the difference, Gunther??...REAL personal freedoms..like the right to bear arms
When did I write that you should stop playing world police? What I think about this is one thing, but saying I posted it hear eventhough I didn't is something different
@casualuserable when you tv stations are owned and operated by the Government...I didn't expect anything thing else from ya...
.tell me...why did 200,000 Germans come out to see Obama a few years back and if the German or UK Prime Minister comes HERE 11 people come out????....think deep???...think???...why IS THAT????
@casualuserable yeah make your own thoughts..to bad your not actually free to act on them.....and you can be skeptical all ya want about YOUR news..I would be too if the Government can censor it and present it...that would NEVER fly in the USA.The US press can write what they like......the PRIVATELY owned news organizations can say what they want.....who would allow Government Television???oh that's right..COWARDLY European men..Now I ask again..can Nazi march in Germany??..why not?? your "free"
Hey, look at China's, Japan's and India's economy. I'd better keep up with my economy if I'd be president.
Anything I say to you is simply denied with the statement that the USA is better then anything else. But where is the proof? Btw, There is one radio station and 2 tv-stations owned by the german goverment. The rest is all private.
And generally it's only a few of the private media that give somewhat accurate inf., but then there is also news thats rubbish. And thats the case in every country.
You act as though you are living in the utopia, but even from a biological/philosophical/physical view thats not possible, since no human is perfect.
Look at history. The rich always tried to supress or squeeze out the poor. This is the case in every country, some do it quite alot, some not so much, but it was always like that.
with "don't write back full of hatred" I meant how you would react on the homosexual part and how stupid your nazi-example looked liked out of my point of view.
I only meant that you should try and give a comment thats got some logical reasons against homosexual rights.
@casualuserable Tell you what...you keep on trusting your Government (s)....you'll "probably" never need to be armed yourself.. (sure would suck if ya did have to, huh?)..we DON'T trust our Government although we don't have the terribly embarrassing history of DICTATORS...TYRANTS...KINGS...QUEENS... KAISERS...etc.etc.etc.etc.etc....every man who has ever headed OUR country was fucking elected....night night
I never said I trust my goverment(s). I generally don't trust any goverments. When did I say I trusted my goverments(s)? And I can tell you that you will be eventually dealing with something similiuar like europe did, in 30 or in 300 years, but it will happen.
No empire or supernation lasts forever, thats not being anti-america, thats a historical fact.
And you aren't any better then other countries (or worse) when it comes to the social system.
Lets not mention the depths USA makes every day, eventhough this should only happen when having a goverment paid social system(like many of your ppl like to say). Or better, it's supposed to be the first step to communism.
@casualuserable Germany's debt is 5 trillion dollars...need I point out the rest of the economic problems that Europe is going through????...why???...cause you relied heavily on the US economy and the AMERICAN dollar....got some news for ya..that Euro your all using..not physically backed by anything but promises..the US???..has an entire building filled with pure gold..that is why to this day..people hide away the AMERICAN dollar......we'll recover..we cut spending..you give away taxpayer money
Rather keep the poor poor like in your country, or at least trying to help them? I know your answer and yes thats a question which goes in the direction of morality. To the topic "freedom" in your country, whats about the homosexual rights? At least there are countries in E. that accept homosexual marriges or partnerships. Don't write something full of hatred back, thats how i felt in a similiuar way with your example of the nazis, but I resisted writing to you.
@casualuserable Keep learning the truth about the USA from TV....if you are "poor" in America you get free housing (even housing here in Scottsdale of of the richest cities in the USA)...hundreds of dollars in free food a month..cash assistance and free health care...not a government doctor..a private practice doctor...and it;s a lot easier for gay ass European men to accept homosexuality 5 out of ten are extremely gay in behavior and temperament to Americans.....Kissing at hello's???? uhh ookay
Yeah, and these ppl are then depending on the goverment because those ppl mostly have ,sadly, an education below most standards. It isn't enough to feed these ppl like you said, they need more qualifications to get a decent job. But this doesn't seem to happen, as there are more ppl living in poverty every year(2006 36,3 mio.-2007 37,3mio.)
The 46mio. ppl with no health imsurance don't seem to receive that much money from the goverment, if most of these people can't even afford a pair of glasses. And with the german(and thats similiar in every country of the EU) law ppl can apply for unemployment pay. Additionally, you have also the possibilty of doing advanced training courses, if your skills are not enough to get a proper job (sidenote: the state can look for a job if you're unemployed). Not that the system always[...]
pays out for some individuals, but at least you have the possibility of social mobility through that system. Btw, americas per-head-depth is about 47.000$ while germany's is 32.000$. So it's you has has more depths, not the other way round.

@SuperSirius11 Obviously they use real ones cuz you can't kill people with an airsoft gun but yes they do train with gas powered airsoft guns to practice tactics. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than simunition and safer than blank-firing. They still do live fire too obviously but it shows there's an appreciation for airsoft in the real world. You've probably never even been in an airsoft milsim game.
JdmTheMilitaryMan 8 months ago
@JdmTheMilitaryMan Milsim only goes so far. They use real ones because they handle a lot differently. Sure it's cheaper but that doesn't hide the notion that a person who claims Airsoft is SOLELY used to train them is a moron. I have been. I also plan on being a SEAL and have handled firearms so thank you for your time.
SuperSirius11 8 months ago
@SuperSirius11 Well that makes you and me both pal so I'll look for you in the teams. I never claimed airsoft is solely used to train them if you could read I mentioned two other ones they use. My point is that airsoft is a viable milsim alternative for practicing tactics and it's been proven by countless law enforcement and within the armed forces. Good for you, youve shot guns well so have I and that doesn't make you qualified to criticize something you clearly know nothing about.

the statistics for gun violence in America are coming from the GIANT gang wars in NY and L.A and cities all around America they don't really apply to legal gun owners,of course we have a high rate of gun related crimes we have a full blown war going on in the streets guns are imported and sold illegally and used by the estimated 2 million gang members responsible for more then 80% of crimes in communities across the nation,CA and NY have the toughest gun laws and there the places with gun crime
randomnoone 8 months ago
gangs get guns from illegal gun runners that import guns from allover the world,they don't buy them from gun shops because there are background checks before you can buy firearms guns bought,legally are 100% traceable,don't be fooled baning/regulating guns wont stop them they don't care about the law and the guns are smuggled anyway,it just stops good responsible citizens from having the means to defend there life and hunt,fix the problem gangs commit 90% of the murders not the legal gun owners
randomnoone 8 months ago
so its 90% gangs murdering people and each other, the other 10% is police officers killing people,homicide,and self defense,so its not 90% of gun violence in America is caused by sane responsible legal gun owners killing everyday like anti gun and gun control advocates would have you believe,legal gun owners are not dangerous they follow the rules respect rule of law and human life they have the means to save lives and often do,if we are disarmed we are at the mercy of gangs and government,THINK

@LangeE612 Honestly? People here just like to shoot. Saying that guns here are ONLY used in crimes is just plain wrong, most people just like to shoot for fun.

Another reason is for protection, Osama wont come to our house, but Billy who is desperate for money won't hesitate to blow your brains out for 50 bucks.

@EstoppelFox I understand that you like to shoot guns, but legalizing guns for entertainment purposes seems a little weird to me
And how do you think Billy got his gun? Here in Holland only the police has guns, they're here to protect us. Of course, some people have illegal guns and the police isn't always there, but when it's that hard to get a gun, why use it to get 50 bucks? It's obvious that countries legalizing guns have higher crime rates
LangeE612 10 months ago
@LangeE612 I don't shoot (real) guns, personally.
The "right to bare arms" is the second line in our constitution, our constitution is unchangeable, not only that, but changing it at all would be a huge disaster, it's not my opinion, it's just how it is.
It's not hard to get a gun here, depends on the state, but mostly you just need to have a clean criminal record, or if your ARE a criminal, you can buy one off the streets easily from someone who either stole or smuggled a bunch, or steal one.
EstoppelFox 10 months ago
@LangeE612 Americans have the write to own weapons it's stated in the American Constitution that a Militia and the people should always be armed. keep in mind after the American Revolution the USA got rid of it's military so all it had was Militia and armed citizens to defend it self with.
also if you really look at history the Wild West had less crime then the East. why? because everyone in the West was packing heat.

Lets not mention the depths USA makes every day, eventhough this should only happen when having a goverment paid social system(like many of your ppl like to say). Or better, it's supposed to be the first step to communism.

Rather keep the poor poor like in your country, or at least trying to help them? I know your answer and yes thats a question which goes in the direction of morality. To the topic "freedom" in your country, whats about the homosexual rights? At least there are countries in E. that accept homosexual marriges or partnerships. Don't write something full of hatred back, thats how i felt in a similiuar way with your example of the nazis, but I resisted writing to you.

@casualuserable Keep learning the truth about the USA from TV....if you are "poor" in America you get free housing (even housing here in Scottsdale of of the richest cities in the USA)...hundreds of dollars in free food a month..cash assistance and free health care...not a government doctor..a private practice doctor...and it;s a lot easier for gay ass European men to accept homosexuality 5 out of ten are extremely gay in behavior and temperament to Americans.....Kissing at hello's???? uhh ookay

Yeah, and these ppl are then depending on the goverment because those ppl mostly have ,sadly, an education below most standards. It isn't enough to feed these ppl like you said, they need more qualifications to get a decent job. But this doesn't seem to happen, as there are more ppl living in poverty every year(2006 36,3 mio.-2007 37,3mio.)
Theory and Practice are two different things.
So there are ppl who are gay. So what?

The 46mio. ppl with no health imsurance don't seem to receive that much money from the goverment, if most of these people can't even afford a pair of glasses. And with the german(and thats similiar in every country of the EU) law ppl can apply for unemployment pay. Additionally, you have also the possibilty of doing advanced training courses, if your skills are not enough to get a proper job (sidenote: the state can look for a job if you're unemployed). Not that the system always[...]

pays out for some individuals, but at least you have the possibility of social mobility through that system. Btw, americas per-head-depth is about 47.000$ while germany's is 32.000$. So it's you has has more depths, not the other way round.
