When I said that freedom isn‘t free, what I meant was this:
-The freedom to live without fear for yourself, your wife and family and in a safe place.
-The freedom to speak your mind with out fear of reprocussion ( as you have done!) of any kind, be it physical, financial,moral or whatever.
-The freedom to pursue your life, goals and desires without fear of reprocussion.
Countries that forget that freedom has to be guarded and cherished often loose it. It would surprise you to find out just how many countries in the world would give anything to live in the society that we do.
Like it or not the national institution that safeguards our freedom is a nation‘s armed forces. Because without them words DO NOT HOLD WEIGHT. just think of the schoolyard bully...did he stop because you asked him to or because he was made to ( by either yourself or someone else).
I don‘t mean to lecture or belittle you or anyone else...But really when it comes down to the line you MUST fight for yourself and yours.
I think that Soldiers ( sailors and airmen) understand this better than anyone because they are faced with the prospect of having to do just that, and possibly suffering the consequences.

Muskrat, Maybe Jutes is talking about the Parade Square in Aldersh!t, can get kind of hot in the rectum of the world. 
Old School, me and my liquor cabinet full of duty free hootch are in! I‘ll even bring a real compass (Silva not those cruddy issued Finnish ones) so we can actually find those squirrels.
I say invite the good Major and his cousins. They may not have any good ale down there but a couple of bottles of Jim Bean, Jack Daniel‘ or some other fine sippin whiskey would go down fine. :blotto:
Seriously Enzo, most, no probably all of us here were raised the same way. Probably the reason we choose to put the uniform on in the first place. Shame that both those who direct us and those who we purport to serve and protect lack the same high standards we have eh.
Ah well some pass the bottle. I feel I need a long pull right now.

"I‘d like to see you substantiate that "
Take a look at all of the forest fires that we had here in BC. This was one of the hottest and dryest year in BC history. It was so hot that when i went golfing, i was basically the only one out on the course because most of the "old folk" could not take the heat.
Perhaps in my area it was not as high as 40, but i know for a fact that in southern BC, in the Kelowna, Penticton and Osoyoos area, it was just untolerable.

Ohhhh...that makes sense 
Forest fires are more a function of drought, insect damage, and poor management practices, than heat. We burned 500,000 acres here in Arizona last year. California even more this year. 40 degrees? Sorry that hardly qualifies it as the hottest place on earth. Goofy comments like that confirm a lack of credibility on the rest of your posts, frankly. My first summer in Phoenix topped out at 118. The year before that they had a 121 degree day. We routinely see 115 degree days here, in the summer, and I wouldn‘t even classify Arizona as one of the "hottest places on earth". Supposedly in Iraq, up until recently, coalition forces were enduring 120 and 130 degrees.....
I doubt very much Canada is one of the hottest places on earth, my friend.....

Those are farenheit..you‘re talking to canadians here...see this is why our countries don‘t get along.
What are they in celcius? I know they‘re obviously hotter then Canada, but I have never been able to get the conversion down right.
And I dont think I‘ve ever heard anyone say that Canada is hot...ever...
Where it is hot, Jutes, is nearer to the equator. Like the Sahara, it is about 57.8 degrees celcius there.
For the most part, the weather up here isn‘t hot and isn‘t cold, its mediocre...sort of like our baseball teams.

What i mean by ONE of the hottest places on earth is where people reside. I doubt that there are people living in Death Valley or the Sahara Desert.
I‘ve lived in many places where the summer tempertures get around 40 degrees C, Israel for example. In my experience, Southern BC, not necessarily the rest of Canada, ranks right up there.

Scroll down past the map and you‘ll get this quote: "Osoyoos is a really hot place in summer: the usual temperature from April till late September is about +30C and up to the +40-ies C"
I could not find any charts regarding Canada since it is considered a place with no running water. I don‘t need to prove anything, i‘ve been there myself and that is all i need to know for myself.
Hmmm, this topic went from Canadians slandered, to Americans slandered, to Arabs slandered, and now to a debate on climate, interesting how things get turned around so quickly.........Next topic, "Do you believe in God".

Surely you don‘t give any credibility to his outlandish statements.. lol
Do a search on "hottest places on earth" Burnaby, Nelson, Salmon Arm are nowhere to be seen....as a matter of fact NO BC communities, nor Canadian ones
You might see Libya, or Death Valley, CA

I suggest if you want to play ‘ hot or not ‘ then go down to Robson street and look at the scenery.
Enough to make an old guy cry. :crybaby:

Bang on Muskrat,
El Azizia, Libya,
The hottest place on earth at 57.8 Degrees celcius.
Outlandish statements are the fun ones, It can ruin credibility faster then any other kind.
And Jutes I‘m pretty sure you said the hottest place on earth.
"during the summer months Canada is one of the hottest places on earth."
Ah this is petty anyways.
They should just call this forum, "Well what the **** do you have to say?"
