‘We dont have constant massacres. If we did, wed all be dead.’
You have had more spree killers since 1984 than the rest of us in the West combined. Not that 1984 was the start of it: Whitman for example. How many have you had just this year?. This one, James Holmes, the Sikh temple.....are you seriously denying you dont have a constant stream of spree killers?. Columbine, Virginia Tech.....the number in the 30 years is frankly endless. Sadly.
‘And I must say, our country has yet to produce someone as charming as Myra Hindley.’
What a bizarre statement. I would try and respond with an American serial killer/sociopath, but I am sadly spoilt for choice.
‘You come to FR but you dont go to your own message boards? Thats odd.’
Thats not what I said. I said I dont go the messageboards on the BBC News or Sky News. I am a member of many British boards across many interests, from soccer to film, music to politics. FR and RightNation are the only two US ones I am a member of.
‘You might learn something that we Americans have found out: Great Britain has no understanding of our Constitution, specifically the 1st and 2nd.’
And my years on here and on RN and on US sites generally has taught me that many Americans equally have a frankly ignorant grasp of Britain. And the world outside the US.
‘You dont need to apologise for defending your country. But Ill defend my country to the very end and correct all the wrongheaded impressions left by your media.’
As you should. But there is nothing wrong or unpatriotic in saying your country has problems. You can admit that and still love your country despite its faults.
Like the problem with Britain's subjects having been rendered defenseless, despite the Orwellian surveillance cage* that has been erected around them to keep them "safe".
* Coming to the Fascist States of America as we type.
Remember Dublane, scotsman, before you do your usual dumping on America.
I mentioned Myra Hindley not because we don’t have killers but because of the hideous nature of her offense: audiotaping children’s final death screams while her boyfriend raped and murdered those same kids. She couldn’t be executed because English justice made a major screwup with Tim Evans.
You should be glad that Americans don’t follow your news cycles. If they did more of that, you, perhaps, would not be so superior.
