A Redneck Weekend...

Interesting. I suppose the guy that presses the button that drops the bomb that kills 2000 people might be slightly less inclined to kill 2000 people individually with a blunt object.

This reminded me of the Eddie Izzard joke about mass murderers

You killed a hundred thousand people? You must get up very early in the morning! I can't even get down the gym! Your diary must look odd: Get up in the morning, Death, Death, Death, Death, Death, Death, Lunch, Death, Death, Death, Afternoon Tea, Death, Death, Death, Quick shower...

War of 1812.
Spanish American War (The Alamo, specifically).

That wasn't the US then, and you are thinking of the Mexican American War. Texas was a separate country for a couple of years, then joined the US. Then there was the Mexican American War that started as a border squabble in Texas. The Mexican Army came across the border and President Polk opened up a Texas size can of whoopass and pushed them back to Mexico City.

Spanish American war was in the late 1800s. Teddy Roosevelt, the rough riders, taking over Cuba and the Philippines. Remember the Maine and all that.

Drugs are much more of a problem in the U.S. than guns, and drugs are outright illegal.

But drugs don't kill people, people do.

Thanks for proving my point.

What, you mean you don't have these sorts of conversations? Any of you? Oh...

You may have considered it sarcasm, but it really is the truth.
