Trboe, >>Then why don't you move to China? << Irrelevant. >>...idiotic statements like yours.<< Your opinion. >>If you do not like the US move.<< I did. But not because I don't like the U.S. >>...I am writing a book about all this.......<< Who cares? >>Think the UN can help us?<< Hardly. >>The world is running from centralized govt' and you are advocating it?<< No. You are unable to comprehend what I was talking about. >>Did you just read Marx or something?<< Never. But I've lived in Berlin and my wife grew up behind the Iron Curtain. I don't think she would tolerate the writings of Marx lying around the house. >>You have no need to privacy?<< I certainly do. >>I bet you have no idea about ANYTHING that has to do with off-shore........<< If I do I'm not going to discuss it with you, a stranger, or over the Internet. See above. >>Obviously, you are a liberal who just reads his info in the media.....<< I do read the media but I don't believe most of it. Where do you get your information? How is the above obvious? >>Not much chance of arguing with someone who is spoon fed news.<< False assumption on your part. >>And you think the school shootings are about guns?<< I think all shootings are about guns. >> Guns just have a devil in them that make people kill-- LOL!<< ???????????? I said I'm not against gun ownership. I made a reference in my previous post to the availability of guns. I guess that slipped by you. >>Maybe you should travel outside of here and Europe to get a real picture of the US.<< I've lived in London for the past 9 years. I have travelled extensively throughout Europe; living in Berlin for 6 months, working in Italy for 2 months, travelling in Italy, Switzerland, and Spain for weeks at a time on many occassions. I have also travelled/worked in Japan. I know quite a bit more than you do about getting a 'picture' of the United States from the perspective of an American in Europe. It is precisely this perspective that causes my deep concern on the gun topic. Perhaps you are the one who should travel abroad. Some people who spend time here in the U.K., where handguns are illegal and gun ownership per capita is far below the U.S. along with the rate of deaths from shootings, would find that stricter regulation of gun ownership than that presently found in the U.S. may benefit society. Although I doubt that you are one of those people. Before you start preaching, improve your powers of perception. Your call, Bond
