A Soldier Posted December 16, 2004 Report Posted December 16, 2004 saw that yesterdayIncredible how narrowminded some people can be thank god not all americans think like the dumb blonde
Dr Brain Posted December 16, 2004 Report Posted December 16, 2004 Some of what they said is true. Canada doesn't need an army because no one would dare attack them with the USA next to it. The USA has been the best thing that ever happened to Canada. Some of the steriotyping that went on at the end was of course BS, but what can you expect on CNN ? But, because it's not a one way relationship, I don't mind supporting them for as long as they support us back.
Guest Recombo Posted December 16, 2004 Report Posted December 16, 2004 Yah, most of those arguments by Tucker just don't hold true. I'm not sure what he's thinking, nor would I support most of it. However, when a Canadian says "Canadians and the rest of the world should vote on the next USA President" it's not only arrogant, it's so egotistical it's laughable. I've never had any problem with Canada as a whole. I've got good friends and family who live in Canada, have moved out of Canada, into Canada....the works. I don't appreciate Canadians sticking their minds into the matters which are of soley American virtue such as voting, and deciding how this country will be run. It's our choice and no one elses.
Ice-demon Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 US and Canada rox Oh, about that movie, (btw brain it was fox not cnn ) That was the weirdest bull I've ever heard, most of the Us's raw materials as stated come from Canada, without them the dollar would only be half of what it WAS. which reminds me, do you believe the USD will rise again?
Bacchus Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Posted December 17, 2004 "Canadians and the rest of the world should vote on the next USA President"This whole "world poll" thing derived from cafeteria small talk when one of the researchers (i don't know how you call those whose jobs are to look for news) fantasized about USA influence in the world and came out joking that the world might as well have to vote because the USA influenced so many people. His colleagues took the spins and thought that a world poll would be interesting. But it was never seriously considered. don't appreciate Canadians sticking their minds into the matters which are of soley American virtue such as voting, and deciding how this country will be run. It's our choice and no one elses I think that should also hold true for americans when they stick their mind into people business too...don't you think?
A Soldier Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 do you believe the USD will rise again?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>yeah, it's a matter of time. off topic: http://www.whitehouse.gov/holiday/ (?)
»Ducky Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 Wasn't the blonda some type of comedian? She looks familiar. All it reminded me of was the Crossfire\John Stewart deal. Only, John defenately has more insight and room to speak than someone who is an obvios fool. Good watch though.

Right, sorry, you were too busy making yourself look like an idiot.
makavelilikepac Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 he is one idiot my !@#$%^&*ing sig owns his, halo sucks and your that who made it has poor photoshop skills.

Only, John defenately has more insight and room to speak than someone who is an obvios fool. Good watch though.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> She's about as far right on the conservative scale as you could possibly go, and an author. One of her books is !@#$%^&*led "How to talk to liberals". You've probably also seen her on Bill Maher's Real Time. She's cute, but the things that come out of her mouth make me want to strangle her.
»Ducky Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 That may so be where I know her from. Odd I cannot remember, *shrug*
Guest Recombo Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 I think that should also hold true for americans when they stick their mind into people business too...don't you think?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I will concede to this: we shouldn't and as far as I know, cannot vote for other countries leaders. Apparently what's left of the AlQuackeada thinks differently reflecting on the atrocities committed against Spain. However, as far as business where money is concerned, international affairs are good for everyone. Lightly spoken. I'm not talking about sanctions against terrorist leaders here. Obviously few nations of this earth would tolerate or trade with a country who's leader butchers his people.
Bacchus Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Posted December 18, 2004 butchered? you mean like a couple hundreds american dying uselessly in a far away country?
Ice-demon Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 Actaully is is funny why so many people talk of the Us and how much it "sucks". If it sucks so much then why waste time talking of it? "it's such a backward country with rasism and gang wars" so.. what about your country? Oh and brain, I meant the show as a whole, don't get so worked up over it :/ . And Half life can kiss the !@#$%^&* of a dirty bum eating corn dogs on the street. I don't really give a flying !@#$%^&* about "photoshop" skills since gordon doesnt really need all that detail when a guns erm 2 guns are in his face. Btw who really needs alot of detail on a spoof like that anyway.

Btw who really needs alot of detail on a spoof like that anyway.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> America has a lot of growing up to do socially. To deny the fact that racism, intolerence and hatred and above all else, death (compared to other countries) is running rampent just goes beyond patriotism, it's re!@#$%^&*ed. I think people would care and talk about the United States because it is a major player in the world on so many levels and it does effect the world more so then any other nation. Now, no your voting system isn't going to change but still look at the fact that your country IS effecting the world and it's something you as a voter and even a non voter of the USA should look at in respects to the Govning party's foreign policy, its effectiveness and the harmful effects. Drop the idiot act and use your internet connection for something besides Foxnews.com and Porn.
Ice-demon Posted December 22, 2004 Report Posted December 22, 2004 That was the point I was trying to convey indirectly. They say how America sucks and what not when we infact, run the most international charitys and military aid. As for "denying the fact" I wasn't. I was just stating that we ALL have gang wars in ALL countrys, but since we are the largest and the most "richest" (in terms of economy blablabla) we have considerably more than other countrys in europe. Jee Kolar, get ur ruts out of a knot and try to find that starcasm buried deep within you. BTW I don't dl porn or wacth fox, becuase A. my parents run a network and can access my !@#$%^&* and B, I wacth Cnn.
Guest Recombo Posted December 22, 2004 Report Posted December 22, 2004 America didn't get great by deciding that it should carefully consider leaders which pledge great foreign policies. Quite the opposite historically speaking. The foreign poilicy of this current government is entirely about what is best for the USA....not what is best for Canada. Yes, we work together on some issues and not on others, but that's just how things go. I'm sorry that you do not like it. Ice-demon said it best: private organizations in America contribute more humanitarian aid than any country and almost all countries combined. I believe we are doing our part here in America to help other nations. If you are on the French side of Canada, say no more - France and the USA have little hope of anything more than peaceful tolerance.
Bacchus Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Posted December 22, 2004 You should be aware that Quebec and France are quite different. Relating both on political ground is an error.
Yupa Posted December 23, 2004 Report Posted December 23, 2004 who let that dumb hoe get up off her knees?

I, like the more then 50 % of Americans believe your country for its own good and for the good of the world, is on the wrong track on almost all topics of world intrest. What i'm reading from you is a one sided opinion on criticism about how people left of center think about you. If you want someone to back you up and respect you then respect your own law and beliefs in which all people are free to chosse. To dim it down: by that I mean don't expect we're always going to agree with whatever the US says just because you need it. "They" would imply a group of people, first when ever writing you shouldn't use "they" ever I believe in formal writing but for now you just dont use it until you can imply a group of person/being.. Now if by "they" you mean Canadians then yes, most of us do not agree with the way you're running your country on specific matters and yes I can tell you this, think this, and call you a !@#$%^&*hole republican if I wanted to but of course that isn't what most people do up here. For the most part I can't believe people can ignore simple facts and have information disorted so much and have their opinions negatively effected so well in this day and age. It is very easy to say "Our government is doing what's right for us only ect ect..." but i'm not saying you're hurting my country directly, you're hurting the world and most of all yourselves. When I do say the world I also mean by removing your own country from being a super power because I would rather have a idiot south with his finger on the red button then some other nation. This isn't "Oh bleh blah blah you still need us!!" I think it's better you're here then having crater down there and yes this country would still exist if the USA never existed. I wouldn't think you would take and accept this opinion from someone outside of your nation but whatever, I still find it funny you would think I would think about my own life/secuity before the world, very primitive thinking. About the gang wars/poverty thing, I think you're just trying to find something to attack people on outside of your country, so yeah, just drop it. Political debates are not !@#$%^&* thowing contests where you try to find dirt on the other side. Final thoughts on this topic hoping you'll drop it: Not a lot of things are right in any country and if you want my opinion then it is that the US has neglected this problem much like the rest of the world yet faces this on a much larger scale. It's funny that anyone would confuse French Canada with France, not considering their political systems and social issues. I still consider both to be well backwards myself. The French are having major political problems and social problems with Democracy being ineffective and rising Islamic fundmentilism right now and the French Canadians keep trying to jump ship out of Canada. In the end it's about doing what's right for your own part first and everyone else last, I wouldn't expect anyone much less Americans to feel different and I don't really have a problem with that. I'm not going to say sorry for typing so much because if you really were not intrested, you wouldn't have opened this thread.
Guest Recombo Posted December 23, 2004 Report Posted December 23, 2004 I think you still have more to say about something Kolar. Reading that made me feel somewhat incoherent because you start off by attacking an American for choosing to do what he feels is best for his country, then end your story with an 'it's ok but I just had to let you know I'm here' type of approach. Honestly, politics as we know it is almost entirely about digging up dirt against the other side. How can both John Kerry and George Bush both support our troops in Iraq, yet differ so much on how it should be done. Really, presidents don't micro-manage wars. They push a button and things happen. The only thing they got politically is to dig up dirt against the other guy. Have you forgotten all that crap about Bush's National Guard record, and Kerry's senate record? All dirt. Or do you call it something different?

If you don't get that then, you're hopeless, no offense. I would rather not go into details or fight over semantics which i'm sure from your post above Recombo, you probably would love it. This isn't the opinion of one person, it's the general feeling on the subject of "WTF is the Untied States going??" from the majority of your country and of the world. I'm dealing with someone (Ice-Demon) who has low organization and articulation skills so i'm trying to explain thing a little bit more openly here Recombo. I don't want to dissmiss someone right out for not being about to spell or explain themselves even if half the !@#$%^&* I can read from that person is complete crap. Politics are not entirly about !@#$%^&* throwing, all of that was during a time of an election. It is part of the political process within a democracy but a very small, stupid and annoying part for everyone. Civil disobedience is part of a democratic life and if that's all you see in politics... jesus
