You see our social programs as socialism yet you see no socialism in your own affirmative action programs, or the fact that it’s been documented some 40% of your citizens receive some form of government aid. What you are saying in effect is, that a citizen of any country with a social program such as unemployment benefits, or health care, be it single payer or part private as in Australia, shouldn’t be allowed membership on FR - which, if you would like to sit down and count them and write down the names, would eliminate most of europe and last I recall, you do have members from Sweden and Germany...and how, if I may be so bold, would you be able to tell who was an expat and who was foreign born?
Your president hasn’t been asked his bona fides. Why apply such stringent rules to a member of FR from another country?

Or are you just mad and angry that you seem to have a foreigner in the white hut and you’re taking it out on me?

Yes it has been a while and I certainly have aged.

You seem to be a bit occupied in this thread.

Occupied? I don’t even understand how it happened, I invited someone to Australia as the result of them saying ‘but where would we go?’ and next thing I know, I’m in the middle of a gun debate and I’m a dirty rotten socialist and shouldn’t be allowed to post here.

Aged? You should see me. Only my naturopath and chiropractor are keepng me alive. I’ll send you a private mail later, we need to catch up.

I see it really is a challenge for you to remain kind in your reply. You did great, until the very end.

Oddly enough, I was informed just tonight that there have been 90 deaths reported in Sydney from the ‘knock out game’, can you give more information on that? I was rather shocked.

That makes sense, we surely did need some awareness 10 years ago. Wonder if it’s been shared with the UK and such.

Thanks for the link.

I’m now reminded that the term ‘knockout game’ is an import of recent times, what you are hearing about is something that has always been known as king-hit in Australia. I think the increase is due to steroid use by young men, mixed with heavy drinking and late closing times for bars and hotels.

AGAIN...answer to the fact that your own government -- those who stripped your people of their right to defend themselves with firearms -- admits violent crime is up? It matters not who wrote the article I linked to, on which website(s) the article appeared, or anything else. The reporter did some digging, and found the data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

You and your people allowed yourselves to be disarmed...deal with it. It was a mistake, and you're living with the consequences...deal with it. Regardless of which website on which the article appears, the upshot is that your own government, the same people who disarmed y'all, admits violent crime has gone up since...deal with it.

Stop wasting my time with red herrings.

No I take it out on the foreigner in the white hut as often as I can and I also don't mind taking it out on socialist foreigner who come here to FR,

You accuse me of being pro-affirmative action on what basis? I accuse you of being a socialist base on your own words, yet you make wild accusations based on? Again you show your socialist side by using their tactic of making groundless and unsupport assertions hoping to find something that 'sticks'. You are right there is no profit in this conversation when your end of it relies on flasehoods and unfounded accusations.

Sad isn’t it? I am planning to write a couple of my friends in your neck of the woods and ask what they have heard.

Roids and drink, lovely combination for anyone!

Wouldn’t you at least have the choice of to carry a concealed firearm or not? What are your self defense plans if surrounded by a group of rowdys bent on giving you, (or a loved one), a new face? Gonna laugh at ‘em? Gonna beg for mercy? Gonna cry? At least in America we have the choice to be able to defend ourselves and our loved ones when faced with overwhelming odds if attacked outside the home.

America, with all her warts, is still the best all round place to live of all the World. Here is where the battle will be either won or lost. I will never surrender. I may get shot full of holes, but what happens, happens.

We were at the Constitutional tipping point when the Clinton gang was permitted to remain in office in the 1990s.

Thanks Nachum.

“....I don’t even understand how it happened...”

Let me refresh you! Here’s how it started:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3127450/posts?page=234#234

I asked you a simple question (Post 234) in response to YOUR Post #233, and you went “bitchy” about it in your reply to me (Post 236) and subsequent replies to others.

Again, I asked it because You stated Australia might be better, and I was curious about your gun laws.

And your quote “Btw, with your attitude, maybe you should just stay where you are...”

I wasn’t aware that a simple question meant I had “an attitude”.

There! Did that clarify things a little more?

RE Knock-out Game:

Ours is more of a result of racist, feral Negroes attacking mostly elderly white folks, and feeling that they have a free reign to do so because a particular political situation that has been in effect since Jan 2009.
