Americans: You have te right to bear arms

[softball]

And that's right, I HAVE a vote. You don't. I think you are a frustrated Canadian. You WANT to be an American, but you know you can't, so you despise us. I've seen that attitude from up there, and I understand it's a stereotype.

WTF are you talking about? Of course I have a vote. I actually have two votes. One in England and one in Canada. I don't despise Americans. I like Americans. I just dislike ugly conservative ignorant Americans (same for ugly conservative ignorant Canadians, Brits, French....etc.) I was married to an American woman and could easily have had my US citizenship and lived a happy life in Seattle, so once again, my egotistical overinflated American friend, you shoot yourself in the foot. Another argument for gun control. Now go and slither back into your "factory" and get to work and help out your troubled economy and forget about firing non sequturs like they are bullets. Your aim is lousy.

With you, it always degenerates into personal attacks. At the end of the day, that's all you have.
2 votes in monarchies do not equal one vote in an American Democracy.

Monarchies?? We don't live in Saudi Arabia or Swaziland!!

We're a Commonwealth Realm with the monarch as just a ceremonial figurehead but holding no legal or official status.

Actually the US with it's individual head of state is closer to the concept of monarchy that we are. We have a party in power who's leader is the Prime Minister and only holds power for as long as his party allows it. It does keep thing much more democratic and he can't "veto" things or act on his own like your President can. We can also toss him quite easily if we feel he isn't doing his job. We don't need to wait 4 years for that, but can do it whenever we feel he isn't doing the right thing. It is a true democratic process. As has been illustrated by the last seven and a half years, you guys have a dictator who does what he likes, even when it's fully against the will of the majority of the people. I've never really found that to be overly democratic.

I find it pathetic that you have to actually explain this to educated people.

Don't get too tightly wound up Danny...I was making a symbolic point to an asshole.

And, it of course, sent him spinning.
It's just no fun anymore,.....he's too predictable.

You weren't making a symbolic point. You have just been handed an education.....on a porn board or all places. Emp, that is pathetic. You should try reading "books" ( things with a whole bunch of paper stuck together with "words" on each piece). Inside these "books" is information on the rest of the world. No Wal Mart commercials(sorry) and you might learn something about your neighbours, the forty or so countires that are North America.
As well their is information on exotic places like "Europe" and "Asia"....places where you might feel uncomfortable as in most you won't be able to pack your "piece" and feel safe like down in the holler there.

You arrogant little prick. You didn't invent democracy. I live in a country with more freedom than you and we actually elect our representatives, not an electoral college. You are everything the world dislikes about Americans. Arrogant. Uneducated. Ugly. Dude, you don't have a leg to stand on.
Before anyone goes berserk.....I am pointing out that Emp is a stereotype that is disdained around the world.
Britain and Canada have a figure head queen. You, who have no idea about the world, have no idea what I am talking about, though I would assume most here would. I have a feeling you refer to the sixth grade as your senior and you skipped every social studies and geography class the other five years. What ignorant fucking crap.
