You conceived him in a nuclear reactor, didn't you.

I think it may be the american meat industry that is responsible for his growth - growth hormones (?). The question must remain about the Europeans hatred about genetical altered foods. The family farm is history because of the USA politics on agricultural control of our food. :mad: I have a background in natural science so don;t get me started on monoculture. Genetic pooling that will make any pure earth people to puke.

Enough said.

A little long but well worth it. This had long been my theory but I had never taken the time to research it myself, thankfully someone else had and I was pointed to it.

Whatcha got ain't nothin new. This country's hard on people, you can't stop what's coming, it ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity.

That one phrase, heard in passing, destroyed my faith in humanity and completely ruined my once optimistic outlook on life.

Also, this shouldn't bother you. All it says is that young people these days are aesthetically aware -- if my music wasn't complementing my current experience, I'd be bummed too :(

Two pages later and I still fail to see why a fake gun would be a bad toy, especially in a country where it's easier to kill someone with Haribo jellies than to get actual working firearm.

Countries that do not use the metric system noted in red.

To be fair, whilst the UK is supposed to be metric, people almost always use imperial for day-to-day things outside of technical fields. Like if asked "how fast are you driving" or "how long is that piece of wood" or "how much does that bag of vegetables weigh".

That's mostly because the majority of our population grew up with the Imperial system. Give it a generation or two and we'll have lost the ridiculous measurements.

All i really know is that the metric system is one screwy language.:confused:

Convert 386ft to inches without a calculator and then try and say metric is screwy...

Well that's really not suitable toy for a kid of carriage age.

Perhaps to Americans this may look funny, as it seems that some of them are developing in the womb with gun in their little hands. It should be constitutional right dammit!

But who am I to criticize all this, once I played Adolph Hitler with plastic rifle when I was like 7 and the next day I was a bolshevik partisan.

Certainly not suitable for toddlers and kids.

It looks real so there´s potential for confusion and scares from unaware adults and other kids.

And I don´t see the kid appeal of a real looking gun. Back in my age I would grab a He-Man action figure over this.
