Canadians slandered in The Economist magazine

Che - All Baker was saying is that people often call Bush stupid, for using words like "evil-doers". If he used terms like that for a specific purpose, than he was not the stupid one - the people who deem him stupid are the stupid ones. Sheesh - I‘m stupid, and I even figured that one out, first time around....in no way was he implying arabs are stupid... although there may be a certain Arab-Canadian who is getting there, pretty quick...... ;)

Infanteer - you be da man :cool:
 
Not getting stupid, Just very defensive about mass generalisations of an entire race and religion. As I‘m sure anyone else would be, were they in the same situation.

And I still don‘t think i followed it right, the way it was worded made it sound like evil-doers translated into Arabic easily. (which i followed) then he wrote. Who is stupid? Which if you are in the right mindset, sounds connected. Translates easily into arabic, who is stupid.... Ah there‘s no point.

BUT besides that , the topic has been dropped, we‘ve already established that despite how the Major put it, he did not mean what I thought he had said, all is well in forum-land.
 
Actually now I‘m just kind of waiting for a moderator to close this **** forum because it‘s gone so far off topic and it is getting so old.
 
I don‘t find anything wrong with this discussion. There is nothing wrong with expressing our opinion‘s, hey isn‘t that the whole point of "freedom".
 
Just to add:

Americans always try to do the right thing after they‘ve tried everything else.
- Winston Churchill
Americans are benevolently ignorant about Canada, while Canadians are malevolently well informed about the United States.
- J. Bartlett Brebner
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it‘s a PhD in Hamburger Technology.
- Clive James
 
Good one‘s there guy‘s LOL.

The sign of a good sense of humour is being able to laff at one‘s own foible‘s.
 
I especially like the quote by Al Capone.
It sums up a self centered attitude of ‘ the world revolves around me ‘ and he of course was such a class act. :rolleyes: I would imagine that he was and is one of a large percentage who are ignorant to the world around them. Tough for the U.S. to hack out a foreign policy supported by the people if the people have no ****in idea where those foreign lands are. :confused:
I am not political and my friends are plentiful in the U.S Special Forces but I could not help but notice that a little education in geography would help a few that I have met.

Reading the Economist as it came through my front door, I would have to agree with most of what was said. I am not exactly off to join the Michigan militia :threat: but our government weenies really are a unique bunch of self serving cowards for the most part. :dontpanic:
 
Subject: Proud to be Canadian





NOW THIS IS SOMETHING TO SIT DOWN AND THINK ABOUT



Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 300 employees and has the following statistics:



30 have been accused of spousal abuse

9 have been arrested for fraud

14 have been accused of writing bad cheques

95 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2

businesses

4 have done time for assault

55 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

12 have been arrested on drug related charges

4 have been arrested for shoplifting

16 are currently defendants in lawsuits

62 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year



Can you guess which organization this is?





It is the 301 MP‘s in the Canadian Parliament.

The same group that cranks out hundred of new laws designed

to keep the rest of us in line.

Which one did you vote for?

TAKEN FROM THE OTTAWA CITIZEN
 
O.K that‘s it then.
We are starting our own Militia.
We can call it ‘You forgot us in the west and now were ****in pissed militia ‘
Now if I could just apply for a gun license, because we all know that it is impossible to get a gun unless you have one. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
****in $ 1,000,000,000 later, and they can‘t even return a god **** e-mail. Retards. :eek:
Some of those MP‘s would have trouble getting one,but they are only interested in kickbacks anyway.Retards
 
Old School I‘m ROTFLMAO !!!!
A gooder man!!!!!!!!

Oh,we get free ale in this Militia?

Still laff‘n!!!!!!
 
Ale and Ammo will be our theme song.
Now let‘s ruck up and get our asses in the woods!
I have no idea what to do once we get there but since we have ale and ammo, everything should work out nicely. :blotto: :sniper: :crybaby:

If not, we can shoot some squirrels and knock up somebody‘s cousin. :eek: :salute:
 
Hey where do i sign up? I‘m good in the woods and my pa is a bit of a redneck, has a whole closet under the stairs full of rifles and pistols.
 
If you get the Explosive‘s,Us boy‘s like our Boom Boom‘s!You‘ll have a Fld.Sqn

What we‘ll do is light a fire,crack a load of brown rocket‘s,put our helmet‘s on and tell War Stories.
Then we go out and knock up some one‘s cousin!
Sound good?

P.S.Our Cousin‘s from the South are welcome as long as you bring decent ale or good Shine!
 
Old School - Tell us, how do you really feel.

As for those stats. What do you say to that? This governing system of ours has proven itself to be morally and ethically bankrupt. I was raised to believe in honour and justice. I wonder what‘s been taught in the houses of our politicians?
 
Most of those Quotes mentioned by the major are all regarding how Canada is a cold place to live. How can we be blamed as to where we live. By the way it is not always cold "up here", during the summer months Canada is one of the hottest places on earth. Where i live it can get to 40 degrees (C), i don‘t think that is that cold.
