The Brits Report On Record American Gun Sales Over The Holidays

[Solus]

Have a friend in Briton and  he visits the US often on business and vacation.

He has commented on how violent our movies are.

In discussing it, I have found that we, as I think many of us would agree, put unrealistic violence in our movies to make them over the top films.

On the other hand, in Briton, violence is so restricted, you cannot show someone being killed....at least I gather that from what he has said and from what I have heard elsewhere.

We have unrealistic violence and they have unrealistic non-violence.  It is better to be aware of violence and realize ti can be exaggerated than to be unaware of violence and find out by surprise.

He also thinks we eat to many double bacon cheese burgers, but on his last business trip here he stayed with friends in TX. and bought his 11 year old son a nice folding pocket knife....talked about teaching his son responsibility with a weapon....

We have not discussed gun control, but he might be receptive.
