    John Cleese is a legend
    Tongue in Cheek humour should be taken as such

    Cleese is indeed a legend, but Cleese did not write that.

    Though this is really another topic for another debate, there is a great struggle in this country on where a citizen's rights really stand. The 2nd amendment is the right to own a gun within a standing militia, which to the best of my knowledge means, that you can own a gun when there is fear of invasion and militias are formed in place of a standing army, not the right to own a gun because one can.
    The way I always saw it is that we, the people of the United States of America, have the right to own a gun so the government will not step out of line. The right to bear arms isn't to go duck hunting. It's there so if we need guns, for whatever reason, they will be easy to get.

    My brother received that letter in an e-mail months ago and I'm sure it didn't say it was written by John Cleese...

    But yeah, John Cleese is the man!

    How long has it been raining?

    ...Forever.

    Yeah, chances are it was just some bored fat guy who threw on the big name to get attention. Somehow, I just don't see Cleese using percentiles in his work. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think those are too much an "americanism" to fit, anyways.

    The whole sports thing kind of irritated me.I hope that no one from the UK actually thinks a country who plays a sport thats not in any other country should be abandoned.

    I hate guns...but I didn't bother reading though the whole thing. People say "OMFG I NEED MY GUN TO PROTECT MYSELF!" but you wouldn't need a gun if they didn't have a gun too...it doesn't make sense.

    But I'm not going to bother arguing it because no one wants peace, everyone just wants to kill and see people suffer as long as it isn't them, and no one gives a damn what I have to say when I'm not agreeing with them.

    Just some points
    I'm British
    I'd rather have Bush than Blair.
    I'd have your tax rates over ours.
    Guns are fine, it's bullets that's the problem.
    You owe us taxes backdated from 1786.
    You should really learn to spell and speak the english language correctly.
    You can continue playing American throwing ball game, but stop thinking Non americans care.
    That wasn't that funny since it's a collection of jokes thta have been around for 20 years put together, been there done that.
    Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

    And what happens if everyone registered gives up their guns and then
    the only people with them are those who have them illegally?

    Are you so dense that you honestly can't see that guns aren't the problem
    with society? It's society itself that needs to change, not some trivial law.

    thats true but America should never have let it get so carried away with guns, last year in great britain the police ran this amnesty program were people could hand in their guns, i think the gun owners got paid for it(im not sure on this point) all identities were kept secret and it seemed to work, thousands of guns were handed in

    joke or not, suck my twelve incher.........my dong? no, i'm talking about that rotton babana that you haven't thrown away yet.

    Being wise comes in two parts: 1) having a lot to say and 2) not saying it.
