I'm talking about America's propensity towards sensationalising incidents such as the Jeremy case. Rappers singing about Murder Was the Case and guns in general is another. Movies, everywhere.

It showed how responsible some parents were by letting their kids get hold of their guns.

Pearl Jam, being a HUGE grunge outfit at the time, issued a social commentary which the masses listened to. What, they weren't allowed to? They were wrong?

Sorry, America loves drama and sensationalising sometimes. It created a phenomenon of sorts. People became ignorant as to what guns could really do.

Look at the song Jeremy in Pearl Jam. That was a tragic day, gun-related of course. A vital lesson wasn't learned and multiple killings ensued.

A gun is just too much of a bargaining tool.

There was a rally in Flint, Michigan. Heston really stepped over the line on that one. Still, Moore went too far.

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Yeah, I saw that film too but that was more like having a dig at Heston. I knew about Heston long b4 this film came out

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Oh, I knew about the NRA LOOOONG b4 Fahrenheit 9/11 came out. I read a fair bit about guns around 1995/6, sorry, please forgive me, in a 'European' country.

Please clarify, does European mean 'European on ma boots' 2 u? LOL

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Of course (said to gtd). Well, one thing's for sure. Heston and his NRA have made sure that guns are here to stay. It's big business in America.

Yeah, Filios is European. He might not share the same view as I do. I don't think u can assume a 'European' position. In fact, it's quite insulting due to the diversity we have in almost every aspect of life. Why do u think that EU bureaucrats have such a hard time getting legislation passed?

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Not righteous at all, just a desire for personal safety.

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

U r just provoking gtd, so I won't take the bait. If u hadn't already noticed, I was just joking above. Nobody could interpret what I wrote above as a serious attempt at a debate.

The reality is that white's murder one another too. To say otherwise would be ludicrous.

I don't claim to have "figured out" the gun issue. U r just being defensive. U criticise Poles for being defensive but u r acting in the same way here.

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

I agree with Svenski, Franek. Do you have guns to commemorate the Wild West? Do u fire off a shot when u greet each other? Do u say, 'mine's bigger than yours'? Come on, ever watched COPS? Even then, that's only TV but u know the reality as well as we do.

History / History of European and Poland's anti-semitism [192]

Yeah, exactly. What an absurd thing to say!

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Maybe he pulled out a confidentality clause and censored it?

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

It's a bit like a stereogram then, some see it and some don't. Or maybe u've been smokin sth?

U didn't answer my questions above

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Thanks for the blank pic gtd. Nothingness. Kinda like the result shortly after being hit with bullets

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

U r talking practicalities, I was discussing principles. So, u think 2 wrongs make a right?

How about war? How many people have died in wars over the years?

Disease can lie latent in sb. Guns can change people too. U don't have to be a violent criminal to use a gun. Do u imagine all gun-related deaths in America can be attributed to violent people?

Iran can't pursue alternative energy technology, is that what u r telling me?

America was a responsible bomb owner? Hiroshima and Nagasaki tend to suggest otherwise.

NK has nukes, why do u let them possess such weapons? They were part of the Axis of Evil after all.

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Well gtd, what of the above? U paint America like the Wild West. R u Quick Draw McGraw? Or Fast Finger Freddy?

Can't Iran have a weapon too? Just for protection u understand. OK, no, well surely for energy purposes as advocated by Obama?

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Thankfully not. I think we have them in zoos somewhere ;) Just kidding, nah, I'm serious, we have panthers.

Aha, so why r u allowed a weapon if some other killer has one? For self defence or as a deterrent? Iran can legitimately claim to be pursuing uranium as an alternative source of energy. What would ur defence be for having a gun if sb denied ur right to have it?

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Can I ask u sth gtd. Should Iran be allowed to have a nuclear weapon?

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Remove guns and u remove a life-threatening weapon. Guns aren't like Star Trek phasers, u can't set them to stun. I hear what u r sayin but other disabling weapons can be used. We get by without them in Europe.

We have black panthers in Scotland too but don't go flocking to the shops to stock up on guns and ammo.

So, should I expect 2 c a panther in Manhattan or Beverly Hills? LOL. The Pink Panther maybe

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Didn't Alien take care of Predator? ;) Bears are largely in Canada, Franek.

Yes, but it's a good topic of debate. Don't go all defensive on me, guns do have some merit.

What happens regularly? Guns take lives, Franek will tell u that. He even gave u stats.

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Well, that's just where u and I differ my friend. Cars serve a useful purpose gtd. What good will a gun do u unless u r a hunter?

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

More than believable. So many tote pistols and handguns like toys there. One of America's biggest ever mistakes, giving the right to bear arms.

Poles, LOL, that was a funny reply BB

Facts stay facts. So, why is this such a contested matter? Do u believe in Al Qaeda BB?

I feel bad 4 u BB. U fly the flag alone for Deutschland.

There does seem to be a lot of evidence for the case that he was German.

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

PLEASE, no Obama comments. Oh, Obama will cast a D&D type spell and put safety bubbles around all AA's. Oh, Obama will fly in with his cape and rescue them. Spare me.

Greg is priceless, SO funny. BB, r u Silesian or pure German?

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Freedom of association doesn't seem to be his strong point. Go to the ghettos and make ur point there rather than on a Polish forum.

Enjoy avoiding being butt raped

Oops, sorry, I didn't rewind back that far. His upbringing seemed to be more German tho.

Gee, I dunno if we'd be having this debate in Scotland. We have enough inventors of our own and wouldn't feel the need to squabble over one guy.

I hope this sheds some light on the debate
