Our coppers don't need guns to bring down criminals.

Anyone that needs to have a pistol in hand to make them feel big, is compensating for something else. (yeah small banana!)
Unfortunately more and more of the UK Cops are now armed, its a real shame in my eyes.

Yes it is a shame. Sadly 'certain' people are just trigger happy.

Sorry but as you can see I really don't have a high opinion of Americans, they need to get out more.

Us Yanks have the same opinion to a degree. The difference is that we don't have a less than high opinion of ALL Brits. Just those who earned or deserve it.

I guess we should get out more often, especially here in Dubai. Have some sex on the beach, get arrested for drunk driving, commit adultry, do a runner.

Hey, Chocs, don't take offense. If that is true, at least those doing it are smart enough not to get caught. I guess those Brits who get caught just like the publicity and bring honor to their country.

Well they're not doing it outside of the US are they, because of course most Americans don't even hold a passport, have no idea what's going on in the rest of the world and are only interested in what's going on in their own back yard.

Don't even ask any of them where Australia is on the map! They'll tell you it's Iraq :oops:

We all remember Sarah Palin who though she could see Russia from her window, and that Alaska was an international state! :lol:

And now we have Mr. Obama talking about a world without nuclear weapons. :lol: :lol:

Well at least they keep in in their own backyard. The fact that there are 50 States in America, many Americans don't see the need to go beyond what their own country has to offer. Unlike those who have to go abroad and embarrass their country. :lol:

Good point. If you change US for UK it will be also true about "own back yard".

Well I guess it's fair to say that EVERY country has Frogs in a Well. People don't necessarily have to leave their country to know that there is a bigger world out there, they just chose to stay within their own.

And how many of those 50 states can the average American name? Not many I'll wager!

Shooting one another is the national passtime. How many of 'our' boys have been lost to friendly fire because your troops are pepped up and 'speed'? Prey on the poor with no future, train them up, shove a gun in their hands and throw them on the frontline - nice!

Get real please. More and more Cops in the UK bear weapons? Why are you lying?
As far as your last statement is concerned, I have a question. Do you know that for a fact? Did you check yourself? Please enlighten us. And women that own a pistol, they are compensating for what? Small Tits, butts, assymetyrical PMS? Please advise.

Talking about Americans, Guns and Friendly Fire.....banana Cheney comes to mind with his quail hunting incident, where he shoots his mate in the face and declares "Meh, thought he was a bird...."
LOL

"banana Cheney said he felt terrible about shooting a 78-year-old man, but on the bright side, it did give him a great idea about how to fix Social Security." --Bill Maher

"Cheney now says he can't blame the shooting on the guy who got shot. He said we tried that for three days. It didn't work." --Jay Leno

"President Bush says he is standing behind the vice president. Way behind him." --Jay Leno

LOOL

HA ha Dubai Forums is even funnier, I type in D*ck Cheney and it automatically edits to banana Cheney :lol:

Chocs, it's a volunteer army. No one is forced to join. It's by choice. There was a time they travelled because there was big wealth to be gained colonizing countries, but those days are gone. Or are they? If the UK is such a perfect world, then why do so many Brits leave?

As for troops getting hit by friendly fire, unfortunately the US is at the frontline, put there by an administration that was manipulated by one person, and I don't mean GWB as he was merely a puppet.

Please don't try to paint a rosy picture about the UK. It has its crime. You have police killing innocent people, you have your fair share of murders, shootings, muggings, etc. The UK has it's underbelly as does every other country. If it's so wonderful, then why are you in Dubai? I highly doubt is for the cultural experience.

Hardly, considering the number of Brits that leave the UK every year either on holiday or permanently. At least we cover Geography and current affairs in school!

Hahahaha a 'volunteer' army! Yeah right, is that what they're telling you these days? Hmmm funny how most recruitment drives take place in places where there are no jobs, no prospects etc. LEaving zero choice but to sign up. Puuurlease - wake up!

No they don't! Only special units are allowed to carry arms and they are only ever called in as a last resort! Most bobbies on the beat carry a trunchen or at most a taser and these are not widely issued! I think I would know as my cousin is a member of the police force! They certainly are not armed with firearms!

Don't you forget we are 306 Millions compared to your 50 :wink: IF we do a per Capita computation, we will probably kick your arse here and there :) Let's not get into the GDP and the incest rate hahaha

As far as I understand it’s very specific knowledge, about the former Great Empire mostly, which Brits count as own back yard.

Ah yes, the Great Empire, which once encompassed half the known world! Conquered by a tiny nation because of their seafaring prowess - mostly.

Hmmm and what do you have to show? Oh wait, crap we're responsible for most of the yankies too, after all the Pilgrim fathers did leave Plymouth in 1620 aboard the Mayflower! Damn it!

Shows how little you know. It seems you don't understand the meaning of volunteer.

Here's another little word - in English - that alot of Brits aren't familiar with - its - DENTIST.

And from my experience alot of Brits seem to be lost. I hear and have heard that so many of them ask people: "Do you know who I am?" Poor dears.

Question: how come when Brits go out with other people and after having eaten it appears that their arse swells up and they have trouble getting their wallet out of their pocket. How is that?

Another question: it also appears that when the check comes Brits discover that they have left their wallet in a desk drawer or in the car. Are they really that forgetful?

Encompassed? Does that translate into: colonization?

You need to familiarize yourself with history hon. The Brits were kicked out of the US. Watch the series: John Adams. It may enlighten you to some history.
