It's not.

What's Anti-American is whining motherfuckers coming in here from
inconsequential third world shitholes like yours, and making scores, if not
hundreds, of comments about Americans, American politics, and the American
way of life.

Dechucka has been doing it for years.

It's probably from bitterness about his grandmum getting knocked up by a
Marine back when we saved your country in WW2.

Australian women were known world wide back then for being pretty easy
(compared to prudish American chicks)(and I doubt it's changed, not since I
was in Perth).

That situation doesn't exist here.

It's only your ignorance of the matter at hand.

We Americans get lots of international leg humping here, jealousy and
angst mostly, from others that choose to be here just to make their foreign
views known.

It's because no other country wields the power and responsibility that we
do, and criticism comes easy from the cheap seats.

I note that you have twice participated in gun control arguments and been
run off with your tail between your legs,

BUT, after having foisted your ignorant opinion on the group first.

That's pretty chickenshit.

And pretty hypocritical.

Basing that on your extensive posting history here?

Rec.scuba is one of the oldest scuba forums in existence.

More -unedited- and/or -unmoderated- scuba information has been presented
here than anywhere else.

I myself have been here in excess of 10 years, some since the early 90's-
are you honestly arrogant enough to think we should all change "what is"
just to suit your personal whims?

At the snap of your fingers?

That we digress into OT posting is the difference between this forum, and
your -dead- ASS forum, which, in it's past, has been as volatile as this
place.

It's because we've discussed just about every -interesting- scuba topic
there is to death, and, several times.

Yet, within the guidelines of our SOP, we still field frequent questions
from all levels of divers.

See how kind I'm being to take time out from abusing Dechuka to
answer -your- (OT) inquiry.

I like it just fine here, just the way it is.

I've met over 100 of my fellow Rec.scubans at this point, from 4
countries, been diving with them in scores of places, slept at their homes.

Accumulated more than 1000 dives in 10 years, with the help and knowledge
of these people right here.

Just who the fuck are you?

Good luck with your ASS.

Speaking of which, don't let the internet slam you in it on your way out.

Is this another on topic post from you?

Well, I'm ignorant of many things, and maybe I'll give you the "fool" as
well, but where did the "racist" and "red neck" come from?

That sounds rather "bigoted".

More hypocrisy from you?

Perish the thought.

Hmmm, I've met some from Scotland (no diving), some from Canada (a few dives
and a couple from there that I still like), some from England (lots of
dives), some from Germany (lots of dives), some from Australia (lots of
dives) and some from Singapore (lots of dives) right off the top of my head.
I've purchased diving equipment here, that I went over there, twice.

I think I have you beat on diversity, but you have me, hands down, on
numbers.

I quit counting a long time ago, then started again, then quit again. The
notebooks full of dive logs was beginning to take up too much space on the
shelves in my reloading room.

Hey Popeye

Inconsequential it certainly is. A shithole it is not.
The only ones who think it matters are the lefties in this country - they
fondly imagine that our opinion carries weight around the world. I recently
came back from Nevada/Nthn Az/SoCal and in nearly a month of reading the LA
Times, the only mention of Oz was re the Australian Open tennis.

I agree with you on the cheap seats stuff, the envy stuff, the fact that the
US occupies a particular position etc but Oz is hardly up there with Indo,
Malaya etc etc in the shithole stakes. You might want to rethink that bit.

Re the gun shit, more of us have guns than you might assume. I don't like
rifles myself, I have handguns despite the lefties' best efforts to take
them off me. Had a blast of a time in the Las Vegas Gun Store recently with
an M-16 and a hundred rounds.

Don't go assuming that your experience with some is the attitude of the
many - there is more support for America here than you would imagine from
the popular scum press. (tautological, I know, but scum and press just seem
to roll off the tongue here)

Chill a bit. Come back soon
(I live south of Perth, btw)

Next time you're in the States, give us some warning and we'll arrange for
you to waste a lot more ammunition than that. I probably shoot more than 100
rounds out of each of my AR-15s one or two times a month.
