Well, for those still of the deluded persuasion that “Washington knew all about the attack on Pearl Harbor before it happened,” here’s a portion of a letter to the Navy Times written by Nomran Polmar, Naval historian and author, said letter published in the June 28, 1999 edition on page 52:
Rational responses only, please (yeah, right!)
The quote above was from Norman Polmar.
No wonder Thor’s english improved, the “leifur” part is gone. Maybe the other Thor would improve too, if he shortened his name to ThorIce.
When I said all that stuff about not having guns, Was not talking about what it would be like if they never existed…BUT if we (American Citizens) did not have guns in the 1770’s to fight the british army with, we would still be saluting the british flag and drinking tea at noon…consequently, The allies would have had a much greater chance of losing WW2 to the germans, and Jappan, if it had ever decided to attack the american contient, would have an easier time of taking the west coast with our british overlords more conserned with there home country (england)-------

Tha’s right, Sunbear. This Thor is from the good ole U S of A, and not Iceland.
BTW, the recent posts of BjOrk (whom I suspect is Thorleiflur in disguise) has made me think that maybe there should be a people hunting season in Iceland.
The SDMB’s award for slowest-loading, least rewarding thread goes to… Lynn, the envelope, please!?
Arguments about the Constitution, statistics on gun-related deaths, and the ethics of hunting aside; it should be obvious to all that guns are such an intrinsic part of the culture of the U.S.A. that any attempt to ban them would cause more harm than good. We are familiar with the comparison to Prohibition. But does anyone argue that there should be NO regulation whatsoever on the sale or consumption of alcohol? Picture IDs and DUI laws do not solve all the ills associated with alcohol…but they are still pretty good ideas. I am not anti-gun, but it concerns me that the pro-gun folks get so hysterical at ANY hint of regulation.
