Why don't you want to be an american?
You are not one of those Idiots who spit on the flag, refuse to say the pledge, will not stand up during the anthem, and disrespect veterans are you?
IF you dont like your country WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE. If you want america to be like canada(or some where else)...I got news for you most people don't instead of trying to make us like them why don't you move there![]()
edit seamus the reason the guns are the "big" issue for me is.
1 they protect our rights with out them the government could walk all over us.
2 They are my favorite hobby and people want to take them away from me even though I have done nothing wrong. I think soccer is stupid but you do not see me wanting to get rid of it.
Gun owners are demonized in the US and it is not fair, I have heard one person say "gun owners should have no rights"

I respect veterans. I don't spit on the flag. I don't go to places that sing the anthem (not a sports person). I stand at the pledge, but don't say anything.
And I don't dislike America. And my family is here, that's why I don't live in Canada, plus the fact I'd like to get an education before I go off around the world.
And next year when I am old enough to vote, I will vote to better America.
Any thing else you'd care to know?![]()

Funny - this might be true during the foundation of your country - but what can a handgun do against an Apache 64-D Longbow?Originally Posted by ceasar010

Seriously, I hate commies. They perverted the socialist system into a bizarre, unachievable goal of an egalitarian utopia, which so far has only produced dictatorships. Also, Marx was a condascending ass towards Socialism. Damn you, Marx!
There has been much talk about the women folk i've devised a plan all women all lined up and escorted one by one into a room where me and my closest advisors (Hunting buddies Fishing Buddies Football team Pastor) shall judge for the ones we deem unfit we load on to transports land in london rome oslo berlin madrid and paris and "conveinitly switch them with better looking ones...yes that should do it

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Should we take canada this is bothering me I mean our oil is in Alaska and god knows we need thatI might consult w/my advisors we shall send emissaries in the morning

Strike for the South- I wasn't asking for the thread to be closed. It was a joke... haven't you ever heard "The Wall"?

It was a forerunner of our modern income tax in that it was based on the principles of graduated, or progressive, taxation and of withholding income at the source. During the Civil War, a person earning from $600 to $10,000 per year paid tax at the rate of 3%. Those with incomes of more than $10,000 paid taxes at a higher rate. Additional sales and excise taxes were added, and an “inheritance” tax also made its debut. In 1866, internal revenue collections reached their highest point in the nation's 90-year history—more than $310 million, an amount not reached again until 1911.
In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution made the income tax a permanent fixture in the U.S. tax system. The amendment gave Congress legal authority to tax income and resulted in a revenue law that taxed incomes of both individuals and corporations. In fiscal year 1918, annual internal revenue collections for the first time passed the billion-dollar mark, rising to $5.4 billion by 1920. With the advent of World War II, employment increased, as did tax collections—to $7.3 billion. The withholding tax on wages was introduced in 1943 and was instrumental in increasing the number of taxpayers to 60 million and tax collections to $43 billion by 1945.
