They must of got something wrong then somewhere?!?!
Joking.
Nah, it seems that only the fairly educated people have bothered to follow this thread throughout all 46 or so pages so the arguments are fairly well thought out.
Some good arguments from everybody (although all are slightly ignorant about certain points because no one can understand everything) but this is never actually going to get to a conclusion because what are we still arguing about? Originally it was "crazy gun tooting" people with internet connections saying that if you didn't own a gun you were weak and at mercy to the rest of the world and...the rest of the world responded (lol) pointing out the complete inaccuracies of such a statement. Basically we've all come to the conclusion that everywhere is slightly "challenged" to some degree (the New Zealanders can't speak properly, the Australians just sit down in the middle of the ocean oblivious to the worlds troubles, and Americans seem to want to shoot and blow things up [got to love stereotypes, lol]) and that there are vast differences between all cultures and societies, which is what we all knew anyway.
Hooray, well its been very entertaining anyhow. Another weekend coming up. Maybe see you out on the trails OzPete and if we see a snake we'll have to give Porky a call, he managed with a broom.
To be honest all the Australians on here are just jealous that Americans can get bikes and bike parts at less than 50% what we can get them over here.
