    Do you have one of those proper, friendly, afternoon tea type of English accents or one of those nails on a chalkboard English accents ?

    Definitely the proper and friendly. Lol

    By nails on a chalkboard your most likely referring to either a Liverpudlian accent, Birmingham/West Midlands area or Cockney.

    Is it the farther north you go in the UK the more ridiculous the accent or the further south?

    Haha. Well it depends, the furthest north of the UK is Scotland so thats perhaps true.

    Theres a surprising quantity of different accents for such a small country.

    A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion: There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin...


    Allow me to restate that number: 600,000!


    Over the last several months, Wisconsin 's hunters became the 8th largest army in the world. (That's more men under arms than in Iran. More than France and Germany combined.)


    These men, deployed to the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin, to hunt with firearms, And NO ONE WAS KILLED.


    That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania's and Michigan's 700,000 hunters, ALL OF WHOM HAVE RETURNED HOME SAFELY


    Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states. It's millions more.




    ________The point?________


    America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower! Hunting... it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's also a matter of national security. That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed. Food for thought, when next we consider gun control. Overall it's true, so if we disregard some assumptions that hunters don't possess the same skills as soldiers, the question would still remain...


    What army of 2 million would want to face 30 million, 40 million, or 50 million armed citizens??? For the sake of our freedom, don't ever allow gun control or confiscation of guns.

    Jason one thing people fail to realize about defending the country, is the logistics of ammunition that the public pre owns and the resupply of ammunition to carry out the operation.

    Maybe one with an air force capable of bombing every single one of these " soldiers " (hunters) and wiping them out in a matter of minutes.

    There isn't an air force on the planet that could get past our military forces with enough survivors/planes to bomb even a tiny fraction of us.

    Now, if you're talking about the U. S. Air Force being ordered to bomb U. S. citizens, we would have a full blown civil war on our hands at that point. The U. S. military would fragment before they would launch a full scale attack on American citizens here on American soil and then we would have military forces on both sides. On second thought, the vast majority of the U. S. Military would most likely be fighting on our side.

    I was just talking about a foreign military going to war with the deer hunters turned militia like the OP was talking about. I know that if it was against our actual military it would be a different story.

    So yesterday my wife an I were headed to get our taxes done, we were driving down a 4 lane hwy and it was snowing hard, even though we have 4 wheel drive my wife was driving 45 mph as was everybody else except that one idiot in a little chevy that blew by us at more than 60 mph. We got to the first stop light and what did we see? The idiot that drove too fast failed to be able to stop went over a cement lane divider and hit another car. I don't feel bad laughing because both drivers were out of the vehicles, I so badly wanted to stop and tell the driver you know you are stupid, right.

    and the Viet Cong, etc.
    Short of using chemical and/or nuclear weapons, a conventional armed force will have hell to pay rooting out and beating an armed, irregular native militia. And when that native guerrilla army has the support of the populace it is nearly impossible defeat.

    As they say in Afghanistan: "you may have the watches, but we have the time."
