Why is the US so mired in the ways of the past...?

Hey k Douglas. Not all of Europe is hurting. Just the corrupt countries.
Germany Denmark Norway Finland and Sweden r doing great.
Obama is trying to install some sense of shared responsibility and social justice. He's just too weak and in the end bought off by the lobbyists.
I used to love the US and would love to see them in the days of FDR and lbj. But those days r long gone and selfishness now rule. Too bad.
 
Prim0, I didn't mean to sound as though I was criticizing. The US is a great country, but it just seems to be constantly "stuck" lately. I have explained to my kids many times that part of the US's problem is that it is EXTRAORDINARILY expensive being the World's Policeman. I think that they relish that job, but I also suspect that they wouldn't mind a little help now and again.

And I don't recall Saturday mail, but I'm not young either. The importance of mail ain't what it used to be either though.

And what should I call an "assault rifle" then? A hunting rifle? A baseball bat?

The U.S. was isolationist in WW I and II and they still got dragged into a shooting war anyway.

except for the part where they were providing weapons and supplies to the russians who were fighting china which caused china to attack pearl harbour. they were sticking their name in everyone's business, always have. they would not be getting attacked or dragged into things if they truly stayed out of other peoples business.

I think you mean Japan but then Imperial Japan attacked numerous other Asian countries as well.

The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour, not the Chinese.

Automatic Assault Rifles have been banned from civilian use since the 1968 in the USofA and assault rifles are mentioned in the Second Amendment right below the word muskets. You are certainly allowed to speak freely and express yourself of which the Second Amendment has provided and still provides to this very day, some 226yrs ago but you shouldn't regurgitate everything you hear on CNN.


And then the gun control thing! Don't they realize that the rest of the civilized world just thinks they're morons? Who really needs a friggin' assault rifle? Who really thinks it's a good idea to sell those online? Without some sort of background check??? I get the whole Second Amendment thing... Oh wait, that's 200+ years ago, when I suppose it made sense. Maybe they need to update that pesky Constitution a bit. Or rename it the Constipation because it sure seems to plug things up.

Maybe the two are related. Maybe Gomer just can't wait to get his new carbine he just ordered, so he needs Saturday mail.

WTF happened to this once great nation???

True, who will defend South Korea if the North Koreans attack, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, maybe Germany?
Neither will any of these countries occupy other countries.

Simon there really is no polite way to put this. The above is utterly incorrect, in fact Rockslinger was correct in what he posted.

Gee you have a damn short memory. Also apparently you are a true believer in the days of peace and light have arrived and never ever will things be more as they have been in the past.

The US is in it up to their eyeballs, we're only in it up to our chins...but it's rising...

Yes we are. But they are a hardworking people, and I enjoy their cuisine. Maybe not the shark fin soup but the other stuff like flied lice and chicken balls are tasty. (Damn, they sure know how to raise BIG chickens if their balls are that big...:confused:)
