Hey Cowboy (and other Aussies)

RUN!!!

Oh sure! It's only a lit'le BUNNY! But he's got HUGE FRONT TEETH!!!

 

Elmer Fudd should be vewy vewy careful about that wascally wabbit

 

If Elmer Fudd lived in Australia today, he'd likely be forbidden the rifle to hunt it with.

 

The only reason Man is at the top of the food chain is that we were able to design better weapons than the fangs and claws we were up against. And man is the only animal stupid enough to give up his tools willingly. I don't feel any need whatsoever to be a predator, but I darned well don't intend to be the prey, either.

 

Hmmmm... I was not aware of the regulations there at Australia. Just a feeble attempt at humor on the situation

 

I thought it was funny, Ken! But I know now that I will never move to Oz. Any other countries like this out there that I should know about (other than Switzerland)?

 

I heard that evrey Swiss male? (person?) has to serve time in the Army and every Army member has to keep their rifle at home. One reason, I also heard, that Hitler never invaded the Swiss in WW2. Hope some Swiss MG 'er can set me straight through the Lounge forum. Bazza

Most European nations require some sort of military service of all males at the age of 18. If you ask me, this would be a good thing to happen here as well. I don't see it happening, but I think it would be great!

 

I did Nasho many years ago, really dates me. Only lasted 14 days as my knees packed up as a result of a previous road racing cycling career crash (almost over before I started). Loved national Service. As you say, should be compulsory for all at 18. Bazza
