Overt Thai racism

[beazalbob69]

I am afraid to post on this thread for fear of being forced on one side of the road or the other. Must be nice for all the people living in such a black or white world with absolutely no room for grey.

I am an American that has never owned a gun. Yesterday my good friend of many years who has recently become interested in owning a gun for fear of his family's safety because the United States quick slide into chaos took me to a shooting range.

I got to see what the Non US posters love to talk about namely the stupidity of gun nut Americans. One of the managers? of the range/gun shop is a full on "Patriot" spouting nonsense about killing anybody trying to take his precious assault weapons away from him and "At least the blue helmets of the UN are easy targets" The gun shop sold out of assault weapons in 2 days after the school shootings for fear of a ban.

Really was a bunch of Redneck Hillbilly gun nuts there that place was packed. I work across the street from the range and I have never seen it that packed.

That was the White side and now for the Black.

I got to try shooting a real gun for the first time in my life. It was a glock 9mm hangun. It was fun. I am a natural my aim was dead on. I was able to easily outshoot my friend who has been a few times. From 20 feet I could put 10 out of 10 rounds right into someones head/chest without trying.

I am not a gun nut.I do not own a gun. I do understand why someone would want to own a gun. If the US economy ever does go down which I see as inevitable having a gun to protect you and your family from all of the evil people that will obviously have guns gun ban or not seems like a no brainer to me.

Well said mate!

Top bloke.

Because that's what one calls a Euro stereo typical vision of the USA...all cowboys and Injuns ya know...almost as bad as the Uk vision of Racism.

Rubbish Andy is garbage in equals garbage out. Get it?

Well, outside of all this....ChrisM's speculative romance of what the American wild west might envision. The faired notion that the rough and tumble period of the wild west and subsequent expansion were filled with an "anything goes/everyone for themselves" arrangement would be far from any reality.....and the contemporary ideal of the gun-loving/gun-toting American.

Not that this historic love affair doesn't exist.....yet stems from a more institutional cause. The long storied romance with all things militarism, nationalism, patriotism, and their relationships with American Providence [exceptionalism] are primary factors throughout the consciousness of the populations.

Reflective, are the overseas military adventures that stirs a nation [throughout the young history] and domestically accepted policing/para-military systems that are in place today......still championed and romance.

I agree Rural. Americans are taught from childhood to love everything Military. They make it look like a fucking good way to pass the time for 2 to 4 years. Ever watch some of the American cartoons from the 80's like G.I. JOE ? Amazing the amount of brainwashing that goes on. Now they have recruitment commercials showing how cool it is to pilot a drone "It's just like playing a video game kids" and they show the Marines as fighting off an alien invasion in another unbelievable!

Saddest part is they have no shortage of recruits.

Jeff you have long since exceeded your capacity for making rational posts. These days you are more akin to aboriginal dream time.
You are a serial fantasist.
You should have given up when the oldtimers kicked in.
Too many guns and too many people with a sense of entitlement.

Hit a nerve with your particular romance and fancy of militarism, Chas?

It'll be ok, my friend...
Run off now and muse yourself with your toy soldiers.

Americas romance with all things military? Better check European history if you want or need "romance about militarism."

Thousands of years of war, expansion, greed, religious zealots, mad rulers, incest, royality, entitlement, slavery, murder, assassinations, gologs, famine, racial strife, colonialism, and treachery.

Perhaps all those who find America to be a land of war mongers need a history lesson on their own countries first.

One thing for sure, Americans never will bow down to kiss the feet of a tyrant. Nor will they support a monarchy that serves no other purpose than tourism. English people still bow down and pay for the privileged few. Take care of your own issues then you will have some room for honest discussion and criticism. Until then, I think you need to mind your own house.
