And anyway after D Day you helped to flatten western europe while driving back the krauts like the rest of the allies when we invaded, why shouldn't you put your hand in your pockets to help rebuild the mess we caused just like everybody else did?
I don't think the US is shit I've holidayed there four times, very nice place, its just a shame some of its citizens can't stop talking shit.
But but but, wait! The US was just cannon fodder, remember?
The truth is that the US did save the UK's ass. Without the financial support of America, the UK would have been unable to stay financially solvent. At the end of the war, when lend-lease ended the UK was financially fucked. It might frost your chaps, but unfortunately for your ego the US did help rebuild the UK via the Marshall Plan. The UK was the recipient of nearly 3 billion dollars for reconstruction - more than any other country in Europe! Not to mention additional loans the UK took from the US because the UK was on the balls of its ass.
Had the US not provided that postwar aid or those additional loans, the UK would have collapsed on itself financially. It had no way to rebuild or or stay solvent otherwise. You can groan on and on about it, but there is no changing the history of how things happened.
So yes Virgina, there was a Santa Claus in the UK during and after WW2. Her name was the United States of America.
You're welcome.

Six, Is there a reason you like guns so much?

I wanted to add this to my last post but it was too late. I realize at a certain point you can start leaving stuff out without having to worry about your kid eating your bottle of blue pills, running with steak knives, going out in the garage and cutting their hand off with the chop saw, or drinking the bottle of bleach under the sink. The difference with those items and a gun, however, is if the kid does decide to handle it for whatever reason there is zero chance they'll accidentally pull a trigger and kill themselves or someone else. Even a kid that was taught how to handle one could still have an accident. And if that's a chance you're willing to take, you're a gun nut.

Well, I consider havoc-wrecking to be an admirable activity, generally speaking.
I obviously don't trust everything that politicians individually, or the government as a collective, do and say. But, it's issue by issue, case by case, for me.
The US government isn't always out to fuck its people over nor is it evilly conspiring against some segments of the population at all times. I don't believe that for a second. I love this country, flaws and all, and I don't subscribe to the belief that we're so weak in foundation (Constitutional or otherwise) that we're on the brink of dictatorship or tyranny.
Instead, imo, politicians and the government sometimes do sneaky misleading shit that they believe will benefit them more if they're successful than it will cost them if they get caught. Some degree of corruption is indeed alive and well in virtually every organization in every country. Damn humans.
Anyway, even though we don't always see eye to eye, I would still share a doobmaster with you any old day. If it was poolside, I'd close my eyes and dangle my toes in the water while you dipped the skinny (and might shoot you straight in the middle toe with my water pistol if I had a good shot).

CN calls anyone with an opinion on the Pro side of the gun debate a Gun Nut, Who cares? He is an ignorantly opinionated asshole, fuckem.
Children often go searching for stuff in their own house and sometimes touch things even after you've told them not to. It might not necessarily be your gun they're looking for, it could be something else and they just happen upon your gun and an accident could happen. That might be a very slim chance to you, but it's still a chance you're willing to take. I would call that a gun nut.
Sally you are reaching. Let it go, I highly doubt any mayhem would happen in six's house. What you find plastered on the news is people on the far side doing stupid shit. Your wisdom needs to fall on the idiots ears .................not six shooters or F.U. they are normal not gun nuts as you say, they are the voice of reason not the epitome of an entire right or left wing conspiracy.

I poke fun at California from time to time, its all in fun, spent a lot of time there and had a blast. I don't really think they are any more of less fucked up than anywhere else in the country, I live in S Florida for fucks sake. This place has its own FARK tag.
Thanks, Six.
I know the California ribbing is just that, and it wouldn't bother me even if it weren't.
You're a labeler. It's reflected in your posts throughout the forum, so figured you'd not have your feelings so easily hurt by being labeled a gun nut, regardless of who was pinning it on you.
I do believe that you mean exactly what you say with the frequent and various negative labels you ascribe to black people and homosexuals, however. We'll always have polar opposite views in those regards. But, I'm as committed to freedom of thought/speech as you are to the right to bear arms. Plus, variety is the spice of life - pretty much found that old line to be spot on in all places - and Mock is no exception.

I get wrapped up in these crazy conversations around here when all I really wanna do is sit by the pool and shoot you square in the cleavage with my squirt gun, I would have it filled with blue dye so you would need a new shirt and this green one I just washed would fit fine.

You're a female though, so as long as you don't have Christmas lights embedded into your soffit and fascia, you don't use Lava soap at least three times a day and a rag for a gas cap, you're probably good.

Lie all you want, that huge soda mug in your avatar is blocking the made in China, American Eagle belt buckle that you bought from the flea market and we all know it.
