    In America it's either Russia Russia Russia or guns guns guns.

    In Europe who has no Second Amendment it's bombs bombs bombs or trucks truck trucks.

    lol

    There are less of them bombs and trucks in Europe, than school shootings in the US. A heck of a lot less. There is one deadly school shooting in the US every week. Sometimes two. This school shooting in Miami was the 17th one this year.

    Remember the IRA ?

    After my tour of duty "in-country" we conducted a training exercise with the British army and all of the British soldiers said they wish they were in Vietnam fighting alongside with the Americans instead of fighting the IRA.


    Holey bombs bombs bombs.

    More people are killed by gunfire in 3 months in the US than were killed in the 30 years of IRA bombing. ie 120th of the rate. And the IRA were an army who had access to powerful explosives and were primarily funded by US citizens through NORAID, the donations being given to them openly in public.

    And of course there's always a war going on somewhere in Europe, with a couple of them achieving world wide status.

    Nice whataboutery.

    And I couldn't care less about sex between consenting adults. None of my business. But it does speak to character, especially when associated with a pattern of "pay offs".

    And not it isn't funny, it was deliberate. Very deliberate. The crime has been established. Some of the russians were indicted to establish the CRIMINAL conspiracy to defraud the United States. Next up? I'd say some american accomplices.

    funny innit?

    These were the guys who supported the Nazis, right? You should learn to blame the IRA for the actions of the IRA.

    This anti American propaganda was freely spread throughout Great Britain and the USA as well. In Britain because it's always easy to blame everything on 'The Yanks" and in America they wanted to discourage any donations at all to the IRA. Irishmen would often visit pubs all over North America asking for donations to the "Widows and Orphans Fund" in Ireland but where that money wound up is anyone's guess.

    In any event it was foreigners from the New World who solved the decades old "Irish Problem", and you should be grateful. A retired Canadian general, John de Chastelain, oversaw the final acts of decommissioning and George Michell, a master negotiator, contributed greatly during the Peace Talks, and the Clinton Administration had made "The Troubles" a priority. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/ira/reports/america.html

    I've been to IRA bars in New York City and Boston back during thew 80's. It was interesting.


    The problem in America isn't guns but political correctness.

    No access to guns the snowflakes will turn to bombs.

    The left adopted political correctness aka cultural-marxism in the early 70's and have indoctrinated an entire generation of snowflakes and the next snowflake generation is just around the corner.

    If you don't count the Islamist jihadist mass shootings or the mass shooting in Las Vegas and nobody has figured that one out yet, all of the mass shooters have been indoctrinated in political correctness and all were snowflakes.

    My generation and the generations before me grew up with guns, everyone had easy access to guns but only one mass shooting that took place in 1966 in Texas. When they opened up Charles Whitman's brain housing group they found a huge brain tumor.

    A qualified Marine sharpshooter using a bolt and slide action hunting rifles out to 400 yards he got 48 hits with 17 kills.

    If Whitman were have been armed with an AR-15 he would have had less hits and kills.

    About twenty or so minutes ago I watched Martha McCallum interview a couple of talking heads and the topic was Americas culture, what went wrong ? Why so many mass shootings ? Why are the streets of Chicago, L.A. Oakland are war zones.? Glad to see some have made same observations of what's different today than forty years ago ? They made the same observation that I have. There was no political correctness before 1970.

    So who do we blame for political correctness turning an entire generation into snowflakes and mass murders? Not the NRA, not guns and don't look to the right but look to the left.

    Europe and all of its wars

    Isn't that the purpose of Poland so Germans and Russians have some place to fight each other ?

    We Americans prefer to fight our wars a few or more thousand miles away from home.

    We Americans are good at war. Except for WW l and WW ll we usually just bomb brown people. If you got brown people living in your country watch out for bombs come falling from the sky.

    As usual, you're off topic and on a tangent no one cares about. You must be lonely. You need someone to talk to.

    I once adopted a dog and learned he only understood Spanish.

    But why can a dog learn English in just a few months but it takes Mexicans years if not decades to learn English ?

    I'm certain your life is given meaning every time to see people reply to you because the summary of your contributions on this forum are troll or tangent posts with zero substance. I'll stop feeding the old troll.

    I don't put people on ignore and I don't hit the report button. I save that for the right wing snowflakes who can't handle a verbal bashing. However, i'm not going to entertain your BS if you can't even stay on topic.

    I have never put someone on ignore. I'm a big supporter of the First Amendment, but think it's being abused today and that's dangerous.

    Never dropped a dime on anyone using the snitch tab (abuse) but if I see any snowflake on the PF or on any social media posting that he plans becoming a professional school shooter I'm going to drop a dime. I'm not politically correct and when I see something I will say something to the authorities.

    When I come across your post on the PF I read them, enjoy reading your opinions and some times maybe even give you a like. You and I may not be is step politically but that's what the PF is all about.

    I don't see why people are making such a big deal about people making joking threats on Facebook. (I'm not talking about those designed to intimidate particular individuals) Thousands of these "threats" (if they can be called that) are made, and obviously most of these people were not intent on carrying them out.

    Well he makes a good point. Obama was in office when 3 of those shootings occurred but nobody blamed him despite him not doing a damned thing to legislate against guns.

    It's a double standard.

    Someone should have told him "strawmen" should be easier to defend than the original argument.

    Obama tried to push gun control through, Congress defeated all his efforts by a largely party level vote (Republicans against, Democrats for). He then tried administrative actions that Trump reversed. .

    I well remember what you are referring to: just about any Irish tavern in Manhattan would have a large jar of some kind and it would have a card or small placard showing "collection for widows and orphans" (or some other title) who were supposedly victims of violence. But in reality, these were not collections for victims but were sources of funding for the IRA.

    was that correct because it is if Trump is to blame for this one. If it's good for the goose is good for the gander.


    he didn't commit the murder you blame everyone but the person responsible.
