Gun control itself is an international topic, Just about every country has gun control laws doesn't it? Yes there's differences but that doesn't mean that one is necessarily right or wrong and neither does it mean that, say, someone from the UK can't comment or give statistics on their opinions on the laws of a different country. Which I have done, but I've never been insulting to anyone about how people live. I just give my opinion. Whether people like my opinion or not is another matter but I feel I have as much right to air my opinion on US gun laws on a public forum than anyone else (whether they're from the US or from India).

When I post a topic about something to do with the UK I welcome comments from people from different countries. If people can't be civil in a debate and resort to insults I usually ignore them or report their post even if they ARE from the UK. But I would never think to myself "Wtf, why are 'you' (meaning someone from another country, not you specifically) posting here it's nothing to do with you".

Just how I feel.

It was a little light attempt at humour... but to answer your question... yes... with someone as up tight as you seem to be no doubt a great deal of what I think mildly funny would in your eyes be so un PC as to be effing insensitive... but there you go I find women swearing like men offensive but I suppose its a generation thing.

this was reply to that post

ok maybe I should have said lack of gun control . it's the rude insults I take issue with . not the opinions that differ from mine. I ignore more people from the US on here then any of the other countries combined.

@SparklyKatie Said

Attempted humour by saying we could weed out muslims by offering them bacon sandwiches then suggesting pork scratchings instead is a tad lame, and I'll swear if I want thankyou it's 2010 not 1950.

And usually when someone 'attempts' humour they use a smiley or put some kind of sarcastic disclaimer in the post. When people don't it usually comes across as you being serious.

@retep Said

Oh smiley things how did we ever do without them?

Know what irony is?

Did the fact I asked for the Email of US Homeland Security no give you a little hint?

And just to keep you straight because you seem to be within an inch of calling me or my little joke racist I have an adopted grand daughter whom I love very much that will never be mistaken for white, I also worked in the middle east for a number of years and still have muslim friends in the Emirates that I keep in touch with.

You swear all you want if it helps.

So you're amazed she understood as aimed at her... but then you immediately say that it is aimed at her.

I'm confoozed.

@SparklyKatie Said

I understand where you're coming from, but I like to stick my nose in and learn from other cultures. If others don't like it or can't deal with it tough, sorry but that's how I am in the street, I don't change when I come on TFS. I've learned so much from people on here (whether I agreed with them or not) and will carry on sticking my beak in (whether wanted or not) to expand my knowledge of others.

@SparklyKatie Said

I agree with you, I don't think I've ever been rude or insulting in this thread but if you or anyone else thinks I have I apologise.
