24 Truths for Adults – unfortunately I don’t know who the author is so it’s unattributed

24. The first testicular guard, the “Cup,” was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

Gun History

After reading the following historical facts, read the part
about Switzerland twice.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.. From 1929 to 1953,
about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.

of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were
rounded up and exterminated.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by
new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their
own Government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500
million dollars. The first year results are now in:

List of 7 items:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.

Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.

Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300
percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the
criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in
armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the
past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is
unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the
ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public
safety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was
expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The
Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.

You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians
disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,
gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens

Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them
of this history lesson.

With guns, we are ‘citizens.’

Without them, we are ‘subjects’.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew
most Americans were ARMED!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message
to all of your friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in
defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more
important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is
supplemental.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!

SWITZERLAND ‘S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.

SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY
CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

IT’S A NO BRAINER!

DON’T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS
IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

I’m a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!

If you are too,
please forward.

Just think how powerful our government is getting!

They think these other countries just didn’t do it right.

Learn from history.

Written by an Australian Dentist….and too good to delete….

To Kill an American
You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.

So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is . So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)

“An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.

An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.

An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.

An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.

The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.

When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!

As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan Americans welcome the best of everything…the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least.

The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America

Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. It’s been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself . Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.

Please keep this going!
Pass this around the World ?
Then pass it around again.
It says it all, for all of us
Please do not just delete.
Pass it on first.
Thanks!

Thank you….

You know, it’s easy to start to focus on life’s little problems and hurdles in our way as we travel our individual life journeys. I try not to do that but I still do. On this day, I want to thank God for this great nation. It’ll never be perfect but we’ve got the freedom to try and make it so and as long as we have that, I’m happy.

Thank you Osama bin Laden. Thanks for showing us true malice and cowardice still exists in this world – and that it doesn’t work. Anybody who needs to be a bully by trying to get their way through fear and terror will never get their way. Ever. Anybody who kills innocent men, women and children because they’re afraid to take on the Cowboys, Cowgirls, Farmers, Police, Firefighters, Salvation Army workers, volunteers, friends, family and neighbors who all take care of each other – someone too afraid to directly attack, oh say, a military target rather than innocent civilians who’ve done nothing to you – deserves to be thanked. Or perhaps spanked – I’m guessing you didn’t get enough discipline as a child or you weren’t breast fed or zillions of other excuses the weak use to explain their stupidity. Your cowardly slap in the face achieved the exact opposite of your goals but did something actually somewhat noble – you reminded us of who we are: One nation, under God. In one day you reminded us that we’re not 50 individual States – we are one big neighborhood with lots of food variety brought about by our different backgrounds. And on September 11, 2001, every American became an honorary New Yorker, or perhaps every New Yorker and every citizen became stronger Americans. Instead of dividing us, you reminded us not to take for granted who and what we are. So thank you Osama. (Oh yeah, hope you’re enjoying cave living and remember, you can run, but you’ll only die tired…). And even if we have a president doing his best to disassemble this great union and bow to you and yours, he’s but one man in a nation of millions who stand together.

Thank you to former President Bush. Some love you, some don’t but you dedicated your life to protecting us all. Whether we agree with, or disagree with, your policies and beliefs at least you’ve had the strength to stand by your convictions and none doubt where you stand. I respect those with a backbone and while I can’t say I always agree with you, I do respect you. Oh…and thanks for restoring some decorum and prestige to the Oval Office… And thank you for not gallavanting all over the planet apologizing to our enemies and those that have attacked us for being American…

Thanks mom and dad for making me possible. Thanks mom for all those years it was you and me against the world, raising a little brother and sister – God bless the single parents who somehow find the strength to face another day and work hard to make their kids lives better than their own life is.

Thanks to the red, white and blue. For 10 years I served under those stars and stripes, sometimes sleeping under the wings of our F-16, waiting for that klaxon to sound and hoping that it didn’t. But if it did…we stood ready. Thanks to those who went before me, and thanks to those who followed. I know what it’s like to be cold, tired, wet, exhausted – and feel that pride and camaraderie that only comes from the closeness of working insane hours and being asked to do too much in too little time. And doing it. God bless our military and thank you so much for the sacrifices you’re making on our behalf.

Thank you United States of America. Thanks for the opportunities. Thanks for the freedom. Thanks for standing several centuries through good and bad. Thanks for making the room for my views. Thanks for the room for those views I don’t share.

And most importantly, thank you God in heaven above for Your Son, for Your love, for forgiveness of the stupid things certain cowboys do that probably frustrate You, and for all of the above. God bless America…and America, bless God…
