thought for the day

Posts that don't fit into any other category. If it's anything to do with guns, it probably doesn't belong here!

...At a prewar diplomatic conference, the Nazi Foreign Minister Ribbentrop "sniffed" to Eden and Churchill that if there was another war, the Italians would be on Germany's side!
To which Churchill supposedly replied: "that seems only fair, we had them last time!"...

:agree: You guys may be Indians..but you think like good Americans. Or at least you did on page 1. Some diminuation of topic since then. :? And I assure you, that's intended as a great compliment.

You may note that our Supreme Court seems about to rule that various state and city laws prohibiting handgun ownership violate the Constitution, and that 69% of Americans (major poll) agree.

I'm with you! Or you're with me. Or something..

it certainly looks that way, and i hope we're right. by the polls a great majority of americans agree with us, in spite of the present administration's apparent desire to ignore the constitution.

from what i've seen most indians coming to america seem to fit in pretty well, many starting small businesses and working hard to achieve success. some americans could learn from their example.

you are right but i would like to add, that in every society, there are good points and bad points, and every society can and should learn from each other, take what is good and leave out what is bad.
