Needless to say, this sent the Dutch diplomatic community into a panic. While they desperately tried to get out of Burkina Faso, the American embassy inquired into the incident. They discovered that the rioters had mistaken the Dutch flag for the French flag, and were actually looking to take revenge on their former French colonizers.

I’m not sure what exactly the rioters’ grievance was, but given the shape of Burkina Faso nowadays, the French probably deserved whatever was coming to them. Just goes to show: nobody likes the French.

COME ON JEN answer some of my points, let’s debate.

I see your latest post as an attempt at prevarication or maybe trying to raise some ire, hoping for a shouting match? It is nothing but a litany of idiotic leftist social ideas paraded as if they’re the correct and progressive social model — masqueraded as tolerance — it isn’t. Thankfully those childish self-serving detrimental Liberal mantras don’t hold much truck in the US, some of us STILL like to exercise a great deal of common sense here.

BUT that may seem to be contagious, congratulations on your new CONSERVATIVE Government… look’s like maybe you’re heading in the right direction after all.

By the way no one likes the French, not even the French.

The US has a reputation in Canada for lack of tolerance, do you think this is warrented? Is it true that many of you have a problem with gay people? Just wondering. We also hear about abortion and gay marriage being hotly debated topics in parts of the US, while we freely allow both. Actually, abortion is covered under health care. We’ve also decriminialized marijuana, is the penealty for pocession of small amounts a serious offence in the US?

Anyway, I wouldn’t throw hateful insults at you guys. How can you hate someome you don’t even know who has committed no offense against you? I also wouldn’t tell you not to ever come to Canada, but I I would assure you would feel welcome here (but I am not sure if you guys would like it).

And, and by the way, I just got a job offer “on your side of the fence” with a hefty bonus for agreeing to go. I’m planning to accept, unless I get a better conuter-offer. I’m sure some work in the US will be probably be worth it if I’m getting 6 figures for it. Now, if I can just figure out how to deal with all the “250 pound rapists who could show up my bedroom at night with baseball bats”. Oh right, I won’t have to.

After the UK banned handguns, firearm related crime and associated violent crime rose exponentially to the extent now Scotland, England And Wales are 1,2,3 on the 20 most dangerous Western Societies to live in. In fact you’re 4 times more likely to be embroiled in a violent crime in Scotland and 3 times more likely in England/Wales than in the good old USA. And conversely as US states have increased the access to concealed-carry permits, violent crime rates have dropped, hmmm.

You’re obviously somewhat ignorant in your understanding of firearms, and draw some erroneous immature conclusions. Suffice to say self-defense here IS a constitutional right not a privilege to be bestowed or removed by a benevolent government or dictator. The right to defend oneself is base, and inalienable. It should never be subject to approval of method or means by another.

You may want to consider if a ban in Canada succeeds who will then surrender their arms. Law abiding licensed citizens or the criminal element who already fought the existing laws and illegally procure firearms. Jen, it ain’t rocket science my dear.

The fact that the US shares a common border with Canada basically means anyone who wants to procure an illegal firearm has the largest producer to the South, it will garner a massive new criminal gun trade between our countries.

Just remember when after the ban is imposed (assuming) the victims of the gun crime will rest happy in their graves knowing they were killed with an illegally procured weapon and that you are proud of the results and “feel” safe in your community.

An armed society is a polite society.

p.s. - yer canadian. yer not southern. don’t attempt to say y’all, cos you might fail.

Why don’t you pull your head out of your ass and try to gain an understanding on “how the world really works”.

You’ve obviously never been in a life threatening situation, like a cracked out maniac with a gun, you’ve obviously never been the victim of rape, you obviously have never had an intruder break into your house late at night and make you wonder if you are going to live to see the morning, you obviously don’t have any family that you could give a rats ass about, the most you know about guns you’ve probably learned from hollywood.

An armed criminals favorite victim is a mindless, unsuspecting fool very much like yourself. And their least favorite victim? An armed citizen.

Now allow me to point you to a couple places to learn about what use a gun has besides “taming the wild frontier”, you ignorant tool.

1) 40 reasons to ban guns

2) Armed Citizens

3) A Human Right
