        you are the one finger pointing at another country.

        you sound like another euro baby who is jealous of how much the USA has done in the past 300 years while your country still uses its hand to wipe their asses.

          So where are you from? I'm just curious as you are making a lot of generalizations and stereotypical ones about the U.S...so, in all fairness, what Shangri-la do you hail from?

            Nope they sure don't. Also don't forget maybe one day your 16 year old sneaks out then sneaks back in and makes a noise and you shoot first and kill your kid. Real fucking smart. How about you get drunk then get into an argument with your spouse over the Tv remote and you get pissed and kill them. Yep a gun is real fucking handy. In the USA any idiot can own and gun and most people are idiot thus why we have a problem. Funny something as dangerous as a gun anyone can buy without having to provide any proof they are proficient in it's use or maintenance.

            The real reason is for fun (hunting is included in this - it's a fun pastime for people), the appreciation of holding and mastering a weapon as intriguing and deadly,
            Yeah let's kill innocent things for FUN! Kill a deer barehanded THEN color me impressed. Hell I see deer just standing at the side of the road all the time. How hard would it be to kill one if I had a gun? They just stand there and stare. Well the really stupid one run out in traffic and get killed by cars. hence why I'm not to impressed by anyone killing such a stupid creature.

            and I suppose a general sense of security from abusive government or invading army.
            Yes a bunch of Bubbas and their shotguns against the US military. Hell the whole Southern part of the US tried rebelling 140 years ago and failed. Let's see tanks, planes, nukes, other advanced weapons against Billy Bob and his huntin' rifle, who wins that one? If Bubba and Billy Bob can beat the US military then we are fucked. Anyone that thinks they need a gun so they can protect themselves from an "evil" government has been watching Red Dawn once too many times.

              You can be dismissive and blame "Nationalism" for wanting to know where you're from, but in all honesty you're being completely unfair in your assessment of America, you're making generalizations, and from appearances it looks like you just post on GFY for the sake of some form of hate mongering.

              Why do I say that? This is an adult webmaster forum and you have no information regarding the sites you run, no "personal" information, you even refuse to say where you're from. So why are you here? For the pleasant company? LOL

                          I'm simply reminding you how far talk got your country in WWII. Now there's no shame in having your neighbor cross the border and occupy your country as you plead with them not to................................................ ..unless you're an American.

                            exhibit A, Debby here, once fooled into coming out from hiding the country he lives in, had his nose rubbed in the lies he repeatedly told about how America sucked compared to his country. but the bitter troll keeps on in thread after thread.
                            sad really. the self loathing that must come with a lifetime's worth of bad decisions forcing him to put down those of us who've made good decisions and are happy with the country we live in.

                            Poor kid can't understand that if the third world suits him, no one from the 1st world cares. Live your life. Sadly, he wants us to all admit that his bad decisions in life are really good ones and that America has it all wrong.

                                Actually Webby, 12clicks is completely right on that point. I'm sorry that you disagree though, but look at the pattern of posting on this board. The people with the boldest opinions, the people with racist comments, the people that generalize and stereotype are almost always shooting their comments out from an anonymous nickname.

                                Why is that? Why would anyone spend their time posting on adult webmaster forum and not give any indication as to what they do in the biz? Why would they even bother posting? I'll tell you why...it's really easy to give bold opinions when you're cowering in anonymity.

                                Personally, I respect people with strong opinions, even if I disagree with them, what I don't respect is someone hurling little insults or sometimes big insults from an anonymous nick they hide behind for the purpose of flaming the board.

                                  Can't answer for the world Mr Blue

                                  It's pretty obvious there is a "disconnect" with elements in the US and the rest of the world. When was the last time you read such bullshit from webmasters in other countries?? Very rarely.

                                  Bottom line... smell there is a *lot* of despising and ridicule going on from folks outside the US - equally, trolls spewing garbage makes it worse and... kinda embarassing. They'd be an embarassment to any nation.

                                  When that is the face others see - sure, makes ya wonder if the rest are as insane and stupid and sure cultivates the boring old charicature.

                                    I read it regularly on this board, lol...also a lot of people are masked in a fake nickname and they refuse to tell what country they're from. Also, there are adult webmaster boards that are dominated by Europeans, go read them for a day and you may just find that stupidity comes in all forms from all countries.

                                    Now, I'm not saying Americans are right or that they don't make a bad impression, but guess what, a lot of them use the nicknames that they use in the biz, they post the sites they run, etc.

                                    Take 12clicks for example...love him, hate him, but you know its him. People can say whatever they want about 12clicks, you can disagree with his politics and his posting style, but you have to respect him for not hiding in a fake nick.

                                      I dunno where GoodGuy is from Mr B. This thread started off OK and nothing unusal - but got to the usual base GFY level quick enough.

                                        sad really. the self loathing that must come with a lifetime's worth of bad decisions forcing him to put down those of us who've made good decisions and are happy with the country we live in.

                                        Poor kid can't understand that if the third world suits him, no one from the 1st world cares. Live your life. Sadly, he wants us to all admit that his bad decisions in life are really good ones and that America has it all wrong.

                                              Truth is... you know damned well what comes out here sometimes bears no possible resemblance to any "average" person anywhere - and it's hard to say some bullshit even represents the average person

                                                  BTW, I am American and I own several guns ranging from various small caliber Rifles, to various caliber Hi Powered Rifles, Shotguns of various guage as well as multiple handguns of various calibers.

                                                  I used to hunt alot but seldom go hunting now. I still target shoot frequently with the Hi Powers and handguns,but seldom with the Shotguns. I usually carry a handgun when I go hiking for protection against wildlife. I always have a handgun easily available where ever I go, just in case I need or want to shoot a person.

                                                      Very first time - shit no - second time I ever came across what could be described as "gun culture" (tho not the correct term) was in the US. As you said, there was an actual reason for the "arms" and was related to law enforcement - but still never could "grasp" having three guns stashed in a car everywhere we went - made me kinda nervious

                                                      OK.. In fairness fm - sure, there is good reason under these circumstances, and, as one guy already said on this thread - it saved his ass a few times and "secured" others.

                                                          It's probably hard to understand because we live in totally different cultures.

                                                          Here, even Gun toys for children are banned now..

                                                          And I think it's normal to associate guns with a bad thing (In a normal and decent country)

                                                          Correct me if im wonrg, but I think in USA you grow up with the gun culture in your head, and that's why you consider guns just as if they were like having a car or having a TV. Very sad.
                                                          You didn't answer my question. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to understand the differences in our cultures. My question is this:

                                                          Might I ask what you have against firearms? Is it the death rate? Do you propose a ban on guns because it causes murder?

                                                          You've repeatedly said guns are bad, I'm asking why and what you think should be done about it in the US. Just tell me why they are bad.

                                                            I am talking about white USA families or guys who have weapons in their cars or in their houses. (Of course, I don't include Militars or cops)

                                                            Anyway, why do they have so many guns there? I heard something like 1 gun every 3 families somewhere. It's insane! In other normal countries you maybe have 1 gun every 20 families..

                                                            Also, is it true that in some banks they give you a weapon if you open a bank account? WTF?

                                                            Is "having a gun" part of the American Culture? (Like McDonalds or Hollywood).
                                                            Because we can

                                                                                You hear about it because we matter. As for the great country of Brazil, lets look at some facts:

                                                                                http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_p.../cis_1072.html

                                                                                Brazil?s murder rate is four times higher than that of the U.S. Rates for other crimes are similarly high. The majority of crimes are not solved.
                                                                                Street crime remains a problem for visitors and local residents alike, especially in the evenings and late at night. Caution is advised with regard to nighttime travel through more rural areas and satellite cities due to reported incidents of roadside robberies that randomly target passing vehicles. Robbery and ?quicknapping? outside of banks and ATM machines are common. In a ?quicknapping,? criminals abduct victims for a short time in order to receive a quick payoff from the family, business or the victim?s ATM card.
                                                                                The incidence of crime against tourists is greater in areas surrounding beaches, hotels, discotheques, bars, nightclubs, and other similar establishments that cater to visitors. This type of crime is especially prevalent during Carnaval (Brazilian Mardi Gras). While the risk is greater at dusk and during the evening hours, street crime can occur both day and night, and even safer areas of cities are not immune. Incidents of theft on city buses are frequent and visitors should avoid such transportation.
                                                                                In Rio de Janeiro, efforts by jailed drug lords to exert influence over the city have led to a violent backlash against local authorities and businesses (see separate section on Rio de Janeiro).
                                                                                Very poor neighborhoods known as "favelas," such as those located on steep hillsides in Rio de Janeiro, are found throughout Brazil. These areas are sites of uncontrolled criminal activity and are often not patrolled by police. U.S. citizens are advised to avoid these unsafe areas. Carjacking is on the increase in Sao Paulo, Recife and other cities.
                                                                                Much more in there for you to read. The United States is much safer than Brazil, that is a FACT.

                                                                                      But answering your question, yeah kids r still dying here, about 1/3 the numer of kids that die in the US.

                                                                                      FYI "Third World Countries" is a term that is not used in over 10 years.
                                                                                      when you're at the very bottom, you can only progress.

                                                                                      And trust me, we still use the term.

                                                                                      I'm not a dinosaur, I'm a crocodile. I've seen dinosaurs come and go and I'm left unimpressed.

Also don't forget maybe one day your 16 year old sneaks out then sneaks back in and makes a noise and you shoot first and kill your kid. Real fucking smart. How about you get drunk then get into an argument with your spouse over the Tv remote and you get pissed and kill them. Yep a gun is real fucking handy. In the USA any idiot can own and gun and most people are idiot thus why we have a problem. Funny something as dangerous as a gun anyone can buy without having to provide any proof they are proficient in it's use or maintenance.

The hunting part of it I guess is like a video game where you shoot things, only it's for real. It's not for everybody, but I can understand why some would find it fun. If not for hunting, for target practice. Have you ever done archery? It's fun. It's probably even cooler using a gun.

Hell the whole Southern part of the US tried rebelling 140 years ago and failed. Let's see tanks, planes, nukes, other advanced weapons against Billy Bob and his huntin' rifle, who wins that one? If Bubba and Billy Bob can beat the US military then we are fucked. Anyone that thinks they need a gun so they can protect themselves from an "evil" government has been watching Red Dawn once too many times.

The most violent crimes in the US have gone down 32% over the last decade. It continues to go down every single year. Perhaps you should do some research instead of making stuff up.

In areas like Wisconsin and Minnesota, the deer can get so overpopulated that it messes with the plant life in the area. Not to mention the potential health related issues it causes.
