The French assisted us during the Revolutionary War, not because they loved us but because they despised the British. We paid them back for this favor. As General "Black Jack" Pershing said in 1917, "Lafayette, we are here."

An American tourist in London found himself needing to take a leak something terrible.

After a long search he just couldn't find any public bathroom to relieve himself. So he went down one of the side streets to take care of business.

Just as he was unzipping, a London police officer showed up.

"Look here, old chap, what are you doing?" the officer asked.

"I'm sorry," the American replied, but I really gotta take a leak."

"You can't do that here," the officer told him. "Look, follow me."

The police officer led him to a beautiful garden with lots of grass, pretty flowers, and manicured hedges. "Here," said the policeman, "whiz away."

The American tourist shrugged, turned, unzipped, and started going on the flowers. "Ahhh," he said in relief. Then turning toward the officer, he said, "This is very nice of you. Is this British courtesy?"

"No," retorted the policeman. "It's the French Embassy."

Mr. Spotlight Kid,

Well, at least you don't have to worry about seeing their balls hanging down, as they have NONE!

Sir Richard Burton ( the British explorer not the actor ) wrote in volume 1 of his unfinished set -Book of the Sword that the French had once been the most polite nation in Europe, back in the days when every man wore a sword on his hip. After they stopped that practice they became the rudest. There seems something more honest about a duel rather than suing someone. It's a shame there were some good French pirates in the old days.

I could be wrong.... but I believe Jeff Cooper said, " An armed society is a polite society.”

Agree with me or not, Ive always felt that the Americans right to...'keep and bear arms'...is a good idea, I think you are less likely to be the victim of a crime if the person about to commit it is in fear of his head being seperated from the rest of his body by doing it. Thats just what I think.

A very strong case can be made that in the U.S. the more restrictive the gun laws a state has, the more crime it has. Prison interviews prove that criminals fear armed citizens far more than they fear police. This is why burglery of an occupied dwelling is rare in the U.S. and the most common type in other countries. [Ironically even unarmed hoseholds benefit since criminals don't know they are unarmed and avoid all occupied dwellings].
The bottom line is gun owners protect their neighbors by the simple fact they exist, and crooks fear them with no idea who they are. [Almost like "a lottery that can kill them" from the crooks veiwpoint].
