Wilkin...

The Greater LA area actually has 10 million people. I'm sure they have more murder's there than Belguim, however things are a little more crowded in LA methinks.

Anyway please ignore John's comments about saving you in two world wars...spoken like a the "steriotypical" American John, well done.

Take that attitude to Belgium and i'm sure you'll get far. You'd think America won both wars by itself the way you talk. They maybe could have if they started them both when everyone else did! People treated me like S@@%$ in Europe until they found out I was Canadian. Maybe read some history books (outside US history) to find out why Belgium was too weak to defend itself from a larger nation and what THEY did to help take it back.

Back to topic...
It's a good idea Wilkin, to have a gun in America so you can (try to) protect yourself from all the wacko's with gun's. The problem is everyone is armed, and no easy way to un-arm them, also the people are worried democracy could be "taken" away, and with everyone having guns, the Government would never try it. Actually it's not a bad idea, Democratic governments have fallen to a dictator before, it could happen again.

BTW I do not think all American's are like John...it's just one's like him that get remembered when they visit other countries....sorry everyone.
