Ok they are not like Texans at all since it is difficult to picture a sane Texan.

Toni's not Mexirican, so has more clout.

But I am Dutch...which means I am tall, anti-papist, and like sticking fingers in dykes.

I am pretty sure we have no gun nuts.  The phenomenon of the gun nut and US gun culture is pretty specific to the USA.

Sure, Canada has no gun enthusiasts like Iran has no homosexuals.

Sure we have gun enthusiasts.  But I would hardly characterize Malthus or people like him as a gun nut.  You have people saying they need guns to protect themselves from their government and assert that regulating gun rights is somehow a violation of a fundamental right.  That is a gun nut and you would be hard pressed to find such a person in a civilized country like Canada.

You weren't involved in the Reform Party.

I met quite a few otherwise very nice people who got quite nutty when the issue of guns (and in particular the gun registry) was raised.

Why?  I'm awesome.  :showoff:

Seriously - people regret doing all kinds of shit.  They regret not studying harder in school.  They regret not saving for retirement.  They regret cheating on their wife.

Look, I have no problem with the notion you should push yourself, and do some things that scare you.

But some things should scare you for a good reason.  :contract:

Not true.

The more it scares you, the more you should do it.


Also, the more is pisses off your mom.  :lol:

Smart moms don't get pissed. They simply show their overwhelming worry.  :cry:
