Poor Crossbow...you apparently will never understand the American psyche; but then, perhaps the situation is mutual.
I took the liberty of checking your profile and past posts...interesting collection!
You have taken pot-shots at Americans, and the British and have shown a clear anti Jewish (anti Semitic?) bent.
I noticed you seem to post only about bows and cap & ball stuff! No 30/06, 7mm Mauser, .44 mag or 9mm parabellum.
Do your interests only run to cap & ball and bows...or is that all your "great and free" nation will allow it's citizens.
Remember: "If a government can't trust it's people with guns; how can the people trust their government with guns?" ....Anon.
In one of your posts, you excoriate the Jews for "what they did to Palestine".
Wake up! What has happened to Palestine has been done by the Palestinians!
They have had their land nearly as long as the Jews have been back to back into their own rightful homeland.
In this period of time, the Jews have built a "land of milk and honey", in spite of constant terrorism coming from the savages.
Today when I see travel films, news accounts and literature covering the mid east, I see Israel that has built a prosperous, free, democratic country that elects new leaders periodically.
There is much manufacturing, amazing agriculture and great scientific contributions in medicine, space and many other fields.
The Israelis are generally, hard working, educated, diligent and have made a run-down piece of wasteland bloom with fertile fields, orange groves and great building projects.
Now let's look at Palestine:
When we see pictures of Palestine, it is a run down rubble, streets strewn with rubble....yes , Israeli retalitory strikes cause some of the rubble, just as Palestinian terrorism causes rubble in Israel...
The chief difference being; the Israelis clean the rubble up!
Do the Palestinians have orange groves? Have they contributed to medicine, space, freedom and democracy?
Perhaps the news agencies have it all wrong, but videos show Israeli citizens busy, going to school and work and doing constructive things in general.
We see Palestine...people either loitering or rioting about the streets, seemingly not working OR going to school!
Please; name just one positive scientific or cultural breakthrough that has come out of Palestine since 1948!!!
The Palestinians have great opportunities for development. For instance; they could have a great tourism industry if someone would rather work than fight!
Their whole backwardness is exhibited by their continued patience with that old terrorist, old "Liver Lips" Arafat!
I did notice that in your profile you were testosterone-challenged enough NOT to provide your home country info..
It does appear that you may hail from either Germany or France..
I spent , as many other Americans did , 2&1/2 years nearly on the border of those two countries...keeping the Bear off their backs...
Now look at the thanks we get!
Is your blatant anti-Semitism of your own decision or is it a vestiginal trace from the Heinrich Himmler days, or are you one of Yassir's boys?
Now don't give us that old song and dance about the U.S. financing Israel's prosperity...the Palestinians (or rather Arafat) gets plenty of our $$ also.
Not only that, the Palestinians have a lot of oil-rich "brethren" to aid them....but obviously not for "peaceful" purposes.
Of course; the U.N. was supposed to help the suffering women and children of Iraq with the billions of $$$ of the "Oil for food" program....but we NOW KNOW just how the representatives from your "culturally superior" Euro countries handled that money!
You went on to say that Europeans HATE Americans...is that a result of gratitude or just jealousy? Europe could br great now, if they would get off that socialist kick they have been on..
You will note: Americans don't generally have 10-15 "holidays" per month, and we don't have tax paid nannys to wipe our butts.
All those little socialist bennies cost in productivity. A Socialist society by it's very nature, CANNOT be a productive society.
I also hasten to rmind you that it was your own culturally superior Euro countries that denounced Saddam Hussein in the U.N. (useless nothing) and told him that he had best conform to the U.N. mandates...or there would be "serious consequences". Obviously there are whole nations that are 'testosterone challenged"! When the time for truth came, they tucked tail and ran!
Please Crossbow; join me in honest, non cursing debate!!
