honestly .. i think a lot of it has to do with the TO room specifically. our city is very multicultural and i've noticed that a lotta ppl off this particular city forum are extremely nationalistic and take their culture seriously ..
so often with all the diverse range of people we have, sometimes it's very easy to rub elbows whenever political or cultural issues are brought up .. someone says something and accidentally slips a comment, it's taken the wrong way and BOOM u gotta flame war in the TO forums.. honestly i really dunno if this much fighting goes on in any other city forum .. hell maybe we fight more here than in the politics forum .. |

| see we don't need an army cuz we're the US's largest trading partner.. so if someone attacks us it would be in the US bests interest to protect us .. aren't we glad that we're protected under the NORAD nuclear umbrella without having to spare a single expense.. ?? :D |

That's great of someone was going to attack us but we have a lot of other obligations outside our own country...
(I know or think you were probably being sarcastic :p)
I think Canada has been using this as an excuse for way too long.
It's only now that other countries are starting to see the feeble existance of our own forces.
The charade is over...
If it takes someone ELSE to tell us that our military has a problem then it must really be in a state of repair... |

The arms race like everything else (drugs, tattoos are other solid examples) are a 'too each their own" philosophy. Personally I take pride in knowing my country doesn't blow 80 Billion dollars (which is just the size of the U.S increase THIS YEAR!?!) on guns. I don't really think military spending is necessary because we border with Rambo. Have an army, call them peacekeepers and rock on. I love the Canada with no guns. All we are saying is give peace a chance. |

Well, Bush is a moron....plain and simple.
Besides, he shouldn't even be president. Al Gore won that damn election anyway and we all know it....and I'll tell you something...all this crap going on right now wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is with Gore as President. Gore and Clinton and the Democratic candidates/presidents are actually educated people who have realistic and workable policies for the economy and environment, whereas Bush's Republicans have no idea what to do with the enormous potential that is the American economy. THAT is why we keep hearing Bush rant on about terrorism and Iraq....because that's the only thing that is keeping the support for him up. That also proves how dumb dumb most of the Yanks can be. Certainly, terrorism is an issue but I'd be worried about the economy and environment first because Americans are spending money they just do not have and the is going to hit the fan very soon.
Oh well, it doesn't matter.....China will be running the show in 50 years anyway (I hope I'm dead by then!)
As for Chretien and the Liberals apologising to the American government and Bush. GO RIGHT OFF!! Should Chretien's aide go suck Bush's too? Get stuffed.....I wish Trudeau were still Prime Minister. He'd tell Bush where to get off just like he told that idiot Reagan. |
