I am not seriously worked up about anything and I dont think anyone else is either. My earlier comments were from a "hurray for our side" moment that I had. Hey, lookin' out for my peeps, you know.
But one idea is begining to go the wrong way.
The injury thing is getting spun into something I did not say or want to imply. Seriously now folks, I do not enjoy the thought of players getting hurt. Truth be known, I like golf on TV the very most.
Now all you Rugby guys, get back to sipping your tea. LOL

Three things:
1) G.B. can have the mainland but Hawaiʻi will be sovereign and ruled by our OWN queen.
2) Concerning #6 - If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. (Think about it...)
3) Concerning #12 - Rugby is my favorite sport, 1,000x better than football. Most of the Pacific Islands play rugby so Hawaiʻi will have no problem fitting in. |

Think I'll knit something today, like my daddy used to. |

Which of course is why heavily armed countries like Afganistan, the Phillipines and Iraq are so safe.

Wait, speaking of super macho sports... anyone for Afgan polo? It involves a dead sheep... and often dead players and spectators. And weren't they a former British, ummm, attempt?
If knitting were outlawed, only knitwits would have needles. Neener neener neener. |

Mark (wouldn't want to disappoint you), ever been to that very old, very civil democracy Switzerland? Sarah and I have, and have seen very nice decent people walking around with guns of various sorts, including a very interesting 3 barrel one called a drilling - one .22, one shotgun, one .30 cal. A hunter must go to a special school for 3 years and pass a complex test. We read some of the texts. And every adult male must have an assault weapon and qualify regularly. A little noisy in Lauterbrunnen occasionally. In Die Schweiz, you can also see fighter planes emerge from holes in mountains. Very interesting.

1) I wasn't stirring things up deliberately, just simply giving my manaʻo, which is what is supposed to be done in these threads. Please don't put words in my mouth. I have a lot I could say concerning this topic, but I don't want to stir things up, so I'm not writing it.
2) Wasn't saying that Rugby was more macho, simply that I like it better.

Hard to imagine a more peaceful country that Switzerland- and indeed they do all have assault rifles in their closets. Canada also has a far higher per capita number of guns than the U.S., but only a tiny fraction of the gun crimes. Then just south, in Mexico, guns are illegal and very few people have one, but gun related violence is extreme.
Personally, I think it is cultural, not a matter of the laws a nation has.

No worries, Matt, et al. I was just having fun.
Believe me, I do not wish this forum to turn into a place to debate issues unrelated to Hawaiian music and culture. Forgive me if you thought I was putting words into your mouth... or any one else's for that matter.
I have actually played football (both kinds) and rugby. But that was a long, long time ago. All three are dandy ways to spend an afternoon. 'Fraid I haven't tried my hand at Afgan polo.
And, yes, I have spent time in Switzerland. Lovely country. Kinda like Disneyland with a standing army.
(Oh sh*t, now I've gone and offended all the Disneyland lovers out there...)
I'll give up my sense of humor when you pry my cold dead fingers off of the snigger...

I think the exact quote was " A gentleman is someone who knows how to play banjo, but refrains from doing so." Mark Twain
But now that the banjo jokes are unleashed, where will it end?
Q: What do you do when a banjo player comes to your door?
A: Pay for the pizza.

I guess when it comes right down to it, most "sports" are pretty barbaric. It is still just a matter of who likes what. And, I am happy we all here like hawaiian music and culture, because it brings out the best in all of us.
MArk, you are a sniggering knitwit!
Whoops. |
