Hi Colin;
I am glad that your sense of humor is intact.
Some clarification... even in the US, ownership of machine guns by
private citizens is illegal.
Note that the person that made the comments you have taken exception to
are most likely city dwellers (you know, like New York, Chicago, LA, San
Fran, and others). While many would have you believe that this is the
way that most of us live, it is not exactly an accurate portrayal.
While Europe has a great many things to recommend it, it tends to be
somewhat crowded compared to what the US city dwellers consider to be
"fly over country" here.
I believe you have spent a little time once or twice at EAA's Air
Venture... I haven't attended for the last four years because it has
become an overcrowded circus (like Great America or Disney's
'whatever'). It also is not representative of what the US has to offer.
Also note that the English spoken in Great Britain and the former
British Commonwealth bears little resemblance to "American English" (Now
THERE'S an Oxymoron). I think a linguist would peg the dialects in the
US at somewhere around 10 or more.
Just because someone is a US citizen doesn't make them an 'American'...
Note that under the current administration, the US is becoming more
"socialist" every day....

Yep everything over here is so inordinately expensive and I'm only
just surving. It's touch and go every day. The expenses here in the
UK, like that free health care, that's really expensive, income tax
19%, that really hurts, how dare they take 1/5th of my wages. I'm
absolutely crippled, can never save any money and have to rely on our
Socialist Government to survive. The gun club costs a fortune and so
does the whole array of machine guns I have to keep to be safe in my
own home. Machine guns are so expensive over here. So is the costs for
security for my children to go to school and not worry about being shot.
Yes, I'd stay in America, life in Europe is just so bad and so
expensive.
I heard yesterday we are so poor in the UK, that they are going to put
a tax on the English language to try to recuperate some revenue. Any
English speaking county around the world, that's not England, all its
citizens are going to be charged a tax for writing speaking or singing
in English.
One thing that is free over here is our sense of humour, but I expect
they will tax that soon.
