See, that just goes to prove you're as stupid as John, and if you will allow me to extrapolate, as stupid as most Europeans!chaz wyman wrote:Idiots like you need a bit a guidance and even control.bobevenson wrote:Right, John, let the government run your fucking life.

You do know that you rant so much that it's almost impossible to take anything you say seriously or to be offended by you?bobevenson wrote:Right, John, let the government run your fucking life.

Wise words. I used to be offended by his views, now I just feel sorry for him. I cover my empathy by baiting him, but he is too thick to get it.John wrote:You do know that you rant so much that it's almost impossible to take anything you say seriously or to be offended by you?bobevenson wrote:Right, John, let the government run your fucking life.

See, it just goes to show you that Europeans have forgotten everything about personal freedom. Maybe America should ship back the Statue of Liberty to refresh your hapless memories.chaz wyman wrote:Wise words. I used to be offended by his views, now I just feel sorry for him.

Re: Motorcycle Rider Deaths and Helmets
I don't defend any stupid American laws that interfere with free choice, but you people defend your own stupid laws by pointing out our stupid laws. Talk about the inability to think logically, Europeans take the cake, and I don't mean the kind you eat!!!

In other words the US is full of dumb-arse laws, and practices that Europeans laugh at. Because freedom was invented here, and we have the best examples of it.
Like I said we don't need to ask morons like you for lessons in our to behave.
And you can give us back the Statue of Liberty, because you have no use for it.
Re: Motorcycle Rider Deaths and Helmets
But you're the one that keeps ranting on about Europeans because of "our" (I use the term very loosely as a concession to your inability to recognise the diversity of the continent) laws and when American laws are more, or just as, restrictive you then rant that you're not defending "stupid American laws".bobevenson wrote:I don't defend any stupid American laws that interfere with free choice, but you people defend your own stupid laws by pointing out our stupid laws.

What are you doing about these American laws that restrict your freedoms and you don't agree with then?

Says the person from the country that still has a draft system.
