    That’s OK.

    An object lesson in the power of stereotypes, no?

    I most certainly did not! 😡

    Read what I said at the time.

    And then apologise…………..

    And, to keep it on topic, michael moore is an unpleasent, hypocritical antisocial loser, who is starved for attention and needs a shower…

    Which is a hell of a long way from being a traitor.

    Hell, by that reckoning Howard Stern would be a traitor! 😉

    And it’s spelled “Adolf”, not “Adolph”.

    Just waiting for Hell to freeze over, are we…?

    Just as you wish, Flood. 😉

    Nonsense, Sir.

    You cheapen the memory of those who died to liberate Western Europe from the real Axis of Evil, and those who suffered at the hands of the murderous Nazi regime.

    Do you not know what day it is today? 😡

    Oh, and a gun’s not necessarlily designed to kill people. It’s to shoot bullets.

    Oh, come on now!

    We’ll be counting angels dancing on the head of a pin next.:rolleyes:

    Really, owning a handgun, and carrying it on your person makes far more sense than owning a Dodge viper, or a ferrari. Why do you need a viper if you can only drive 65 mpg legally? What reason would you give to justify owning one over a typical car?

    Once again, Pluto, you make an interesting and valid point.

    I suppose I would say that the difference is one of degree.

    The Dodge Viper or Ferrari are not specifically designed to kill people, whereas guns indubitably are.

    In some states of the Union it’s OK to walk or drive around armed to the teeth, but not to light a cigarette in a bar – something that many Europeans can only scratch their heads in puzzlement at.

    It’s one of those cultural things really, isn’t it?

    Moore has, in his speeches and films, declared that the US’s war in Iraq was illegal, and that the insurgents were right an djustified in fighting and killing US troops. That certainly be interpreted as giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

    “Right and justified in killing US troops”? Remind me, when and where did the unpleasant Mr Moore say that?

    Oh, and he’s not the only person in the USA who thinks that the invasion of Iraq was illegal and unjustified.

    Maybe all those Americans are traitors too, eh?

    Hey – maybe they’re all traitors!

    Good job you’ve got all those guns, isn’t it? :rolleyes:

    Thank you, God, for putting the Atlantic ocean just there. 😀

    I don’t tell them why I should have a gun, or why I need a gun, they have to tell me why I shouldn’t.

    North Korea applies the very same logical process to nuclear weapons, and the USA gets annoyed with them.

    Funny old world……..

    But what about Nermal’s question?

    Given that his right to freedom of expression is enshrined in your Constitution, in what way has the (egregious, IMHO) Mr Moore committed treason against the USA?

    C’mon Pluto and Crazymainer – let’s hear it.

    Actually, you make a very good point there Pluto.

    It’s always the extremes that are newsworthy.

    What does disturb me is the way that gun ownership has become an obsession, elevated almost to the status of a religion, for some – and not just on the Western side of the Atlantic, either.

    I honestly believe that anyone who wants a gun that badly should be the last person to be allowed to own one.

    Oh, and I used to be a crack shot with a .303 but one’s eyesight has deteriorated somewhat with age. :p
