Dude... not sure you realized this... but this thread was about guns n shit till you showed up and immediately compared the USA to Canada on several other grounds

. I tried to get it back on track a bit but it didn't work :roflmao:
Yeah, didn't mean to, was originally just chastising the OP for the hatred part and the name of the thread.
As for the Canadian bacon, we're not sure how the rest of the world figures back bacon is Canadian bacon. On Sunday mornings I have the same bacon that you do with a couple of eggs. Back bacon.. I had a sandwich once with it and some hot mustard.
The beer is great, but Ecksjay is right, Czech beer is awesome, have had some from Pilsen ..way good :thumbup:
As for forced funding of healthcare.. we voted it in I think in '65.
Under rule of a monarchy.. yeah, we're not really.. she shows up every now and then wearing a silly hat and carries a rather large purse. If her idiot son ever becomes king.. I guess never too late for a revolt
I was never saying Party disagreements are bad for you, the expressed hatred is bad for you, if nothing else, raises your blood pressure.
Never said we were better.. and individuals here are much like individuals there, my monologue was in reply to:
Could be worse, Ice... I mean think about it, we could be Canadian.
Back to the original thread..
The U.S. court system works very well, and the principal that an accused is innocent until proven guilty is outstanding. The jury in this case heard the evidence and testimony and determined that Copeland was guilty.
However, like the OP I don't dismiss the possibility that law enforcement agent have been known to lie on the stand. If Copeland only discussed the sale with the straw purchaser then he should have been found innocent, but if the discussion went on like the ATF said, then I side with the jury.
