WHAT?! I didnt nothing of the sort (in regards to *laugh* acting like an insider)! I simply posted the information to back my argument. God you're really reaching now.

Why would I buy a vinyl when I dont have any decks to play it on? The point is that I do support Push in the only was I possibly can, by purchasing compilations featuring Mike's work.

Yes, the people that founded America were British. All was fine until your government started treating us like absolute shit. I think it's hilarious that we came back and put you in your place.

all i can say is scooter fucking blows......the only thing good i see scooter has done is give jobs to Alvin and the chipmunks...after their show stopped..in the 80's....

I guess it's not your fault that you feel that way about America. Clearly you have been conditioned from birth to think that way. Canada's economy generally does fairly well and until the recent Sars and mad cow scares has recently been doing extremelly well. Regarldess of either of those things our dollar has been going up and yours down. It is true that there is a large divide between the rich and the poor almost every where in the world but the U.S. is especially bad. If you go look at some numbers you will see the divide in the U.S. between rich and poor is signifigantly higher then almost everywhere in the Western world, including Canada. The Gini index in the States is very high, almost .5 i believe, compared to around .42 in Canada.

And you don't care about how many people are in jail? You feel that anyone that commits a crime deserves it right? What about the 18 year old who was arrested selling an ounce of pot and got 20 years in jail. He had no record. Is that justice? Or the people that get longer sentences because their poor? This is evidenced by certain laws, such as one that gives harsher sentences to crimes around housing projects. Or how about that their are many times as many Blacks on death row as Whites? is that justice? And what about when your high incarsiration rate starts causing other problems in your country? Like in Oregan where the state had so little money, largelly because of the cost of running a massive prison system, that they had to end the school year three weeks early. Or in Texas where there is now a bill on the table to cut the school week to four days because they can't afford to keep both their prison system and school system the way they are going now.

And I would like to remind you that one of the main reasons America managed to grow to the size it is was slavery. Your exploitation of others is your only strength. And what threats are you protecting us from? I mean there's Iraq with all those weapons of mass distruction. no wait they never found any. And there's Afghanistan with all their terrorists, that by the way only attacked you guys. They were a huge threat to us. And back in the sixties there were all those scary Vietnamese people. They would of turned as all into communists. And then there were the Cuban's. Unfortunatelly your invasion of them didn't work out so well. Better watch out, the red hand of communism is still lurking over us all. It is true that sexism and homophobia exist everywhere, but the U.S. is one of the only places where up until about a week ago Gay (anal) sex was illegal. And the levels of discrimination in the states is far above most places. The amount of horrible crimes in the states related to sexual orientation and race are horrific. And what about all the gun crimes? We have as many guns per capita as you do, but not even a tenth of the gun crime. Whats your explanation for that? Your education system is underfunded and second rate. Your universities cost so much that very few people can attend.

And your saying I've lapped up the uneducated propaganda about the U.S.? So I guess the rest of the Western world, minus part of Britain are all completelly ignorant and creating vile lies about you right? Because were all out to get you.

As far as saying that Britain is jealous of America, Im not sure what they wuld be jealous of. Your faltering economy? Your 6 MILLION people in jail? Your huge divide between the rich and poor? Your racism? Your sexism? Your homophobia? Your falling dollar? Your poor education system? Your lack of a social healthcare system? Your huge amounts of gun crime? Or maybe your leaders that are using you all to achieve their own personal ends? I don't know about anyone else here but I see little reason Britain would be jealous of the U.S.

Speaking of faltering economy, Canada's really tearing up the global markets right now, arent they? HAHAHA

And our economy isn't faltering, it's settling down. We had a number of years in the early 90's of staggering growth - it's something no market can sustain so eventually it had to slow down. I don't really care about how many people are in jail. People that commit crimes deserve to be there, so they are. Rich and poor divide? It exists everywhere, bud. Look it up. Falling dollar? You mean, for ONCE, the US dollar is actually falling against the pounds? (Not to mention the Canadian dollar, which has a history of constantly being in the hole). Lack of a healthcare system? Hahaha, that's the one thing you idiot Canadians try to hold over us. And YES the British are very jealous of the US because this could've been an extension of their country. However, we, the underdog, with the aid of the French (which is why the British hate the French also) overcame the oppressive rule. Now Great Britain exists to kiss America's ass.

Sexism? Exists everywhere.
Homophobia? Exists everywhere.
Poor education system? Ha - hardly.

It's nice to see you've lapped up all the uneducated global propaganda about the US.

What you don't understand is that America would give millions of lives to defend either one of your countries (Britain or Canada). I think you should be a LITTLE more appreciative of the amount of shit we've done for you. Take World War II for instance. Had it not been for US intervention, Britain would've fallen to the Nazis. Same would've happened to Canada in time.

Wretched, you have turned this in to a argument about politics, was there any reason to?

Please reply to the questions put to you rather than going off on some misguided, ignorant political outburst

Asked by me yesterday:

System F is an alias of Ferry Corsten - System F is not a band that Ferry is in. Push is an alias of M.I.K.E - Push is not a band that M.I.K.E is in.

It’s like saying Reginald Dwight from Elton John or Gordon Sumner from Sting. These are alias of these artists, and as such you wouldn’t say it, as Reginald Dwight is Elton John . Likewise Push is an alias - in fact M.I.K.E is also an alias (real name Dirk Dierickx).

So saying M.I.K.E from Push is incredibly stupid. This is blatantly obvious to everyone, no doubt even you. If you had only just admitted you made a simple mistake in your first post rather than get aggressive and abusive to anyone and everyone who dared to point out how incorrect it sounded, then you wouldn't have been made to look so stupid.
