most of his facts are right. For the most part anyway. Now fetch me apples. Lots of apples.

The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

I agree that all men are not equal except under the law.

No more beer for me, thank you very much.

In other issues, why not secede? It's what I would do. Of course, there'd be arguments immediately (AK-47 versus M-16 for standard army rifle, Chevy Caprice versus BMW for state car, pomegranate versus apple versus the gayest person in the land for state fruit, etcetera), and the whole thing would collapse in civil war.

It'd be a heck of a rush before it all ended, though.

DAY OF THE ROPE!

agreed.

also, using japanese words does not heighten the argument.
I'm assuming that since toecutter is rascist and hates the Japanese he wouldn't understand any nihongo words so as to make him have to up mimasu in the jisho. :twisted:

Screw the M-16! Any AR-15 variant you got from the U.S. (if your nation was an ally) would be manufactured by Colt. The Colt AR-15's components aren't compatible with any other manufactured AR-15's, and therefore incompatible with most aftermarket AR-15 upgrade parts. That, and the only true AR-15s are those offered by ArmaLite (the company Eugene Stoner worked for, the original inventor of the AR-10 and AR-15).

The M-14 is a more practical choice for a developing nation. You could probably get them for a song from the military's stockpiles, they fire the superior .308 Winchester (7.62mm NATO), which gives you greater stopping power and range. Finally, unlike the M-16A2s, the M-14 can fire full automatic, instead of that crappy 3-round burst using that cheesy plastic camshaft. Granted, the AK-47 and AKM are more widely available, can take far more abuse, and fire a .30 caliber round. But to buy those weapons in bulk, you'd have to make some deals with a few shady third-world countries.

Also, instead of a Chevy Caprice or BMW, it might be a theory to equip your police force with Chevy S-10 4x4 trucks. It would give your police force the advantage for chasing suspects or guerrilla forces into wooded areas, and the S-10s can be easily modified to take a 350 small block, along with all the police package gear found on the 9C1 Caprice. For highway pursuits, a Tremec 5-speed or aftermarket (Dodge Viper) Borg Warner T-56 6-speed with 50% overdrive and 3.55:1 rear gears could be thrown into the S-10s.
