Re: Hammers and guns and Jim and Michael

Exactly what is it that you think that registration accomplishes?

It might seem ridiculous, if it weren't occasionally necessary. Too bad it wasn't an option for the German Jews.

Do you really think the Constitution can defend itself?

Sorry I really should just stay out of the political discussions.

But I have this image that the Swiss milita are united with their guns pointing outwards to defend their borders from intruders. While here in the US it seems we have our guns pointing inwards. Against each other. The Swiss mindset seems healthier... but this may just be a romantic notion of my own.

I thing a mandatory year in the service and an assigned life long weapon with annual qualification would be a good thing. Good by crime.

It *is* a romantic notion. Local newspapers report the occasional incidents, mostly suicides and family quarrels getting out of hand. But Switzerland is a small country, so it's bound to happen less often.

Then do. Meanwhile, you made the assertion...

Guns point to where they're needed. That's sorta the object of the whole thing. If you think a whitebread mindset is somehow healthier, perhaps you should move to Switzerland?

If you can't stand the fire...

It's also a homogenous society, which we certainly do *not* have. Less so every minute.

That too is a myth. I think that more than half the inhabitants of Geneva are foreigners, often with very different cultural backgrounds. It's probably a bit less extreme in other cities, but it's a far cry from being homogeneous.

How many Blacks or Mexicans or Muslims? ...Jim Thompson

How many gang bangers "live" in Geneva?

Just by looking around me, Mexicans don't really stand out, but blacks, quite a few, and muslims, quite a lot. I'd have to look up the numbers to be more accurate.

Jeroen Belleman

That idiom doesn't seem to have the same meaning over here as it does over there with you. Try to type "gang bang Geneve" to see. ;-)

Jeroen Belleman

I can see I got through to you -- you make it so obvious.

I win !

Of course, why am I talking to an invalid 13 year old with a laptop anyway?

Shame on me.

Bye Bye.

...stop bathing in gasoline...

Totally clueless/

Idiot.

Of course, you're an idiot.

You got me there.

Hope you never come back. You won't be missed.

QED. (Gang bangers aren't named for their parties)

I suspect that you meant "goodbye crime" but what you typed is probably nearer the truth :-)

How many truculent armchair warriors?

Huh? They speak at least three different languages.
