It's very conveinent and easy for you to say this because you live in a country where, at least for the most part, there are laws to prevent just exactly that from happening. I suspect that if someone really came to your house with a big stick and told you to leave we'd actually hear quite a bit of complaining from you.

He was talking more along the lines of an invasion by another power, not just some random schmuck coming up to him...

i live in the San Francisco tenderloin, theres nothing BUT random schmucks here. transvestites and crackheads are dangerous individuals, and rather dangerous in Groups.

My point is not that i wont put up a fight - which i will - but that i wont bemoan how unfair the world is after i lose.

now thats not to say that i dont endorse retribution, either. if someone broke my knee one morning, im not above shooting them in the back the next night.

I fully expect that cultures whom dont like our presence will cary on guerella actions against our occupation forces. I just dont like listening to people piss and moan about how unjust the world is that some folks are being oppressed.
