there that like guns. They liked shooting enough that they shot with air pistols when it became impossible to shoot REAL pistols. There are also folk over there that like hunting (with guns). Do YOU like hunting (with guns)? No? Does that mean that 'We don't like hunting (with guns)'?

You are not entitled to speak for all people there, any more than I am entitled to speak for all people here. As much as you would like to characterize your opinions as universal, they are not.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Sheesh.
And I've met people who like to rape children - and more than one. So, should I say, "We, in the United States, like to rape children"? What's the threshold for saying "we"?

New What's amusing...
...is that within 30 miles of where I live, which is a major conurbation, there isn't a damn gun club.

No, skip, we honestly don't like guns. Handguns are for nutters and shotguns are for farmers and toffs. And if you think that's non-representative of British public opinion, then I suggest you and I do some field research over here.

We'll need beer. A lot of beer. Thankfully, I can do that.
