Followed by Eisenhower's lesser known quote, "All your base are belong to us"

To be strapped to a 45 tonne rolling nuke reactor at 6am?

Yeah, didn't work too well for those livng in Zimbabwe. It's now $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Dictatorship.

@Elbonia Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

So Mr. Crutchy, are you saying that "Australians are idiots that sit there and drool"?

It's very nice to be hysterical, but let me point out to you that countries like Switzerland don't have such issues. Not only do they have guns, but military grade guns, since most join the militia. Not many people get killed with those guns over there. When every civilian is armed to the teeth, thugs think twice before they break in.

And just to point out to you, I am a university educated Australian, who has travelled most parts of the world. I can assure you that I am quite learned, both in academia, and in the use of firearms.

More to the point, your anti-Americanistic racism is pointing to the "right for Americans to bear arms." It is my very point that it used to be the "right for Australians to bear arms", that is, until the "think of the children" crowd was used as an excuse to disarm the populace.

Should we maybe move to a more British model, like in the London riots, which I might point out, I had the unfortunate pleasure of living there when it happened. People still get knifed quite regularly, and yet England is completely disarmed, both in weapons and in spirit. In fact, during the riots, our local neighbourhood antique dealers got knifed because he wouldn't hand over his phone to a pack of thugs. He was airlifted and barely survived, and these blokes are now on the street again. So since idiots with guns don't kill people, idiots with knives kill people. Before you laugh at a cliche, actually think about it for 30 seconds.

Let me give you one last piece of of wisdom, my strawman flinging friend. The true strength in a firearm, is not firing the weapon. It is the threat of discharging the weapon in a particular and controlled manner, in an appropriate situation that begets it's true power. If you have a truly educated populace, both in mind, and in firearm, it prevents any threat to the country and its culture as a whole from being enveloped, both from a threat from the outside, or a threat from within.

But you know, keep on drinking the kool aid pal. They need more of you to roll over.

You have the freedom to do whatever you want. Just as long as it's what we want you to do.

Used to be that way until Mr. Howard sneakily disarmed Australians. Remember Martin Bryant? Shot up a stack of people in Port Arthur with a semi-automatic rifle? They were meant to be banned, but the rest of the gun laws went with it. It was the turning point of Australia.

The key Microsoft patent:
1. Buy new technology patent
2. ???
3. Profit

Note, this is a 3 step plan, as opposed to the 4 step plan. The patent is expected to earn billions from patent troll competitors.

Pure genius.

I wonder how many future presidents and company CEO's etc will literally be caught with their pants down in the years to come.

I'm too short for my weight.
