I'm sorry 

I might be missing something obvious here, but how are you a coward and a fool? Surely the coward needs the gun? I'm not even American or anything.

If'n y'all ain' rednek.... 

Y'all ain' sheet...

Anyroadup me duck, when did we "give up our rights like a bunch of yellow bastards?"

What have I been using down t'local gun club to win me trophies?

I'll admit to being a bastard and being a bit peaky but yellow? Never!

Yeehaw 

All I can say is Wow. Just goes to show that no matter where you in the world, there are always stupid people right there to prove how dumb they are and that rednecks exist everywhere. All he needs is a can of Coors in his hand to complete the hillbilly look.

Get your facts right

We didn't give up our rights, we never had any.

Tsk, what an idiot.

PS - for balance, can you find a picture of a Brit with bad teeth wearing a bowler hat and drinking tea whilst playing croquet? If you can, he's got a lucrative career ahead of him playing foreign creeps and baddies in a succession of formulaic Hollywood films.

not sure

We also promise to put an end to all this "We kicked Blighty Arse in 2 wars, and pulled it out of 2 more."

Yellow - oh we are are we? 

Let's not pussy foot around the issue, it's because of the septics (and their kind) that i have to:

(1) Stand outside the pub for a fag while the womens institute play volley ball in the pub cresh.

(2) Listen to my kids end their sentences an octave above when they started speaking.

(3) Be concerned with the Pitt, Jolie, Aniston love triangle.

(4) Not be concerned that American football is just an excuse for grown men to dress up as tampons.

(5) Be impressed when a wrangler wearing in-bred lasoos a 6 month old calf with a broken leg, while onlookers cry at the site of a parachutist entering the rodeo arena while playing 'the star spangled banner on a nose flute.

If you are so hard, Mr. Yankee Doodle Dandy, get over here with your mates for a proper rumble (thats another thing the 'let's get ready to rumble' debarcle before a boxing match........Remeber the Lewis, Tison fight?) Incidentaly, if you would be so kind as to leave that very large weapon at home and read up on the Queensbury Rules on the flight over..........that's of course if there are any flights coming out of America as they tend to be grounded if a wasp enters the departure lounge!..........Oh yes - 9-11, don't you mean 11 -09 or are you too soft to even put your day before your month?

Yeah right. I'd like to see him come and have a go without his gun.

He should ask his own armed forces how cowardly us brits are. Especially the ones we helped train.

At least he proved you were spot on with the stereotype. But then he wouldn't understand irony would he?

Anonymous Coward

Good question, what does CAAF mean? 

Stop

google's no help. Probably not Children Affected by AIDS Foundation in this context.

USA at least means Estados Unidos de America or perhaps États Unis d'Amérique, but I figure you knew that already.

But you are sick:

CAAF - Cockfighting Across America Foundation

Totally sick.

Surely this is correct and it isn't something else like: US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

Now put it away before the police arresting you for being a flasher.

As for the American moron moaning about Brits giving up rights to bear arms, where exactly has that right got Americans? Your country is nothing but a war monger and run by criminals, your people paranoid, and the fact that any nut can get virtually any gun shows that your country is well and truly fecked up. The amount of massacres because of your gun laws show that your country has nothing to be proud of.

Means United States Army - although I'm sure that the vast majority of the brave men and women of our Armed forces wouldn't react quite so aggressively to a little friendly prod.

Wrong way round 

How is it that the Brits are yellow?

They are the ones prepared to walk the streets without guns.

The cowards are those who insist on being armed and somehow equate that with respect.

Steve Evans

As usual... 

Black Helicopters

... the yank is ill-informed. Us Brits do still have the right to own firearms. What we don't have the right to do is own military weapons which have no use but to kill humans.

Pistols are an easily concealed personal protection sidearm of limited range which have no role in pest control or hunting. Therefore they are not permitted. Automatic weapons are designed for spraying an area. These too are not permitted. Learn how to shoot a rifle accurately and you don't need to loose off a whole clip to get that rabbit, or use a shotgun which will leave you something to cook in the pot.

No animal hunting or pest control is suitable for an uzi, a Barrett 50mm, an M16 or an AK47. So Mr Yank, if you own one, what exactly are you planning it use it for?

Black helicopter as it's probably privately owned by someone called Randy and equipped with weaponry that would make Arnie envious!

James

Real men don't need guns. 

Stop

Doesn't the fact that we get through life without the need for guns to protect us make the Brits less 'yellow'?

Go on the mean streets of Britain and you'll find we can kill each other with knives. Not guns like those American pussies.

Sean McPherson

Guns in Street View 

Stop

A quick click on the 'street view' icon and then 'search nearby' for 'gun' and we'll see the person in question is *in the parking lot of a gun store*. He's literally 3 parking spaces from the front door of the Dakota Arms dealer at the corner of 7th and Main. A little less of a 'OH NOEZ' moment, I'd suggest.

And then later we cud invade little Asian countries in the name of dmawcrawcy, freedom and the American way...

He says that like every Bud, Chuck and Randy being allowed to carry guns has worked out well for them. Maybe he doesn't get out much. I wouldn't either with all those gun totting civies on every street corner (or car park).

Simpson

on the brink 

Flame

The thing that would scare some people the most is, he might be be holding a CIGARETTE! in his right hand. The booze looks faked though. Plus everyone here in the USA knows that you always hold your booze and your gun in different hands. Holding them in the same hand is only excusible if you are holding another gun in your other hand.

I don't think the Brits are yellow. Bastards yes, but not yellow.

But seeing articles from last year where your MPs are worried that images of knives in "the dark knight" could harm the delicate British youth... Well, that certainly puts you on the suspect list (or at least your children).

Given their love of guns you'd have expected them to turn up in time to actually do a bit of fighting.

On 9/11 the UK stood beside the US and we kept going to the US .

After 7/7 you couldn't find a Merkin at at UK airport or on any street. In fact, the US govt issued a warning about travelling to the UK.

Who are the cowards?

For those who hadn't figured it out, the clue is in the article CAAF = Coward And A Fool.

He may be right in one sense you'd be a fool to go up against a wild bear hand to hand, but it's hardly cowardly :)

So Brits = Heroic Fools

USians = Sensible Cowards

Wrong Question 

The real question here is why are Brits so easily driven to hysteria and pandemonium at the site of someone in South Dakota (big hunting area) legally carrying a hunting rifle from a shop to his vehicle? When will this national inferiority complex relent???

Christopher E. Stith

Brits aren't yellow. The guy must've confused the UK with France. 

There ya go. Now the US has offended two countries. Still a bit slower than when Bush was in office. We'll need to ramp this up to have a shot at the record.

Seriously, though, have fun with your non-assault rifles over there in Blighty just as I do with my non-assault rifles over here. Some of us in the US love our British friends. I'm pretty glad my ancestors broke away, but that doesn't mean we can't be civilized to one another in present times.

By the way, Royal Marines and the rest of the MoD are some of the world's finest and bravest fighting forces. Anyone who says any different is a clueless dolt. Oh, and the whole thing all the way back in WWII? Britain was under constant bombardment and didn't surrender. The US did play a big role, but to say the Brits didn't fight that war bravely and honorably is just ignorant.

Long live the US, the UK, and our friendship.
