You must be an arrogant asshole to tell that to an American, being from the UK yourself. In the UK you have "knife amnesites", and will put anyone in jail for 4 years for having a pocket knife.

Simply not true. The most that is likely to happen is the knife being confiscated. Four years is the absolute maximum that a judge could pass down when there are serious concerns about the individual concerned (i.e. they were caught fighting outside a school or brandishing it.)

If you knew the background of that single incident you would know that there was considerably more to it than the remarks exchanged.

The first part requires significant proof however. It might not be shown in a public court, but it still needs to be shown before we can detain anyone. Most times the individuals are simply returned to their country of origin so long as we are sure they will come to no physical harm by doing so. Maybe we should just build camps in other countries and send them all there?

It does not make you free, but it does give a population recourse against a tyrannical government. Totalitarian governments always disarm the population, so they dont end up like the redocats did 200 years ago.

You're scared of the peaceful practice of religion? Given Europe's rich history of oppressing and even killing anybody who's religion differs with their own, and given that the religion du jour in Europe is atheism, I find the fact that you find such people scary in itself...scary.
It's not the religion itself I find scary, but the political ambition of these people. They're just as scary as left and right extremes. If you find me scary for thinking that, then you're one heck of a scaredy cat. Do you fear waking up too?

In all fairness to Oxford's Dictionary, it does mention the american spelling. On the other hand, the american spelling for similar words is smarter, because it conveys the actual pronounciation better than the british counterparts. Definately more foreigner friendly. ;)

I think that's a dialect thing. I've heard both sim.. and seyem.. pronounciations by americans. I have real problems with the British (and australian) pronounciation of "can't". It's easily mispronounced as cun't. Such mishaps raise too many eyebrowes for me to feel comfortable. :)

Actually "evangelicals" as you see them represent a very small minority of Christian in this country. A Southern Baptist is not an "evangelical" as you see them. I've also known many protestants in my life (my grabdfather is a protestant preacher) and with the exception of one in college who said the pope has a stupid hat, I've never experienced anything but kindness from them. Being an American and pro-freedom, I whole-heartedly support religious people regardless of their religion (as long as they don't blow people up). That's quite different from Europe where such practice is generally frowned upon.

As are many school children. This whole being armed thing, it's from being too scared to face people physically and hiding behind a gun isn't it? Strangely enough don't have that built in Yankee fear. Yes I have had a junkie come back to my place of work (a pub) with a gun for me.

So if Georgey Boy and his government go more spastic and decide to repress the general public your pathetic collection of firearms will overthrow him and his army full of nukes, smartbombs, F16's, F18's, aircraft carriers etc. Can you people get a clue and realise that when original George, Thomas, Benjamin etal made that rule itfit the technology of the era. If the current government went troppo and had the army onside (as would have been required 2-300 years ago) you have no chance.
