Please rephrase that to: - Does America THINK it knows what's best for other countries? - Could be a different answer... Less so NOW with Obama than the previous admin....

You win...

A LOT of truth in that... The best of bad options is still a bad option and the best option... VOTE for the BEST PERSON running in your riding and let the chips fall where they may...

Suit yourself Bill... For some ignorance is bliss... or http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums//index.php?showtopic=17363&view=findpost&p=621061 http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums//index.php?showtopic=17363&view=findpost&p=621074

Exactly right, as I've said before... It's got a lot to do with timeframes, ordering too far in advance of delivery of an unproven airframe at astronomical expense can certainly be a recipe for a whole LOT of BAD things to happen... "preferring to extend older CF-188 airframe hours and capabilities until the F-35 delivers in numbers" Not good, not good at all... http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums//index.php?showtopic=17363&view=findpost&p=621061 http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums//index.php?showtopic=17363&view=findpost&p=621074

Stick to FACTS Bill, FACTS make you stronger, ignoring them weakens you AND any arguement you make... youtube indeed... I'd rather watch the cat play the piano...

Yes, in spades...

Excellent post, except, perhaps, aimed at the wrong person, those shots should be aimed UP not down, if you catch my drift...

I thought Canada gave over it's "intelligence gathering" and "analysis capabilies" to you guys ages ago... Wasn't it YOU who told me that? Aren't we nothing but your little "puppets? Didn't you tell us Canadians don't matter? What "rest"? A lie, is a lie, is a lie...

Ahhh, duplicity, ain't it great?

Hey you old troll quit going to MY links and getting info to use on here, eh... Trolls are a dirty underclass creatures that remain in the dark, don't you know anything? Be yourself... ps-you forgot to add the link...

Damn, I hate doing this, if you're making a list, we're on it too...

Amen to that brother...

yes

Takes TWO (or more) to tangle my friend, takes TWO... Hell, I remember a semi Super Power going half way around the world to take back a virtually worthless Island by force and they were both Christian countries... Takes two...

Ahhh go fuddleduddle yourself!

Ever notice the simularities between what the U.S. did to precipitate the Soviet Union's downfall and what China is now doing vis-a-vie the United States?

Hey, so do some of us! Can't figure why YOU would though, thought Harper was one of your ilk...

First, let me apologize for that earlier post to you (you know the one)... It was childish and uncalled for... A view from the other side: As you know I'm new here but have spent considerable time, although not lately, on US forums in particular the Hannity Forums during those Bush years you mention... I have experienced a LOT of the worst rhetoric and anti-anybody that isn't American sucks (put as politely as I can) attitude you can imagine... I loved it... That's why I was there... It was to "battle" all that avarice towards the world and educate some of the biggest morons your great country has to offer to society at large... I was only on two forums there, Hannity's War forum, and the US Political forum... I never "attacked" anyone first and had a great time while I was there... I was there pretty much for the same reasons, I believe, BC is here... On this board I don't really know anyone yet, at least not well enough to determine whether or not they are anti-American, which I can assure you I certainly am not, or people playing around, one can tell... As I've told you before, it's a forum, it's not in the least representative of real life, real world attitudes towards the United States, at least not to me... I certainly see (real life) a whole lot more anti-Obama, anti-Democrat (outside the US it would be interpreted as anti-American) sentiment inside the US than outside the US... Then there's bush_cheney and I'm quite sure a number of other American posters on here, perhaps even you, that are constantly, at least to some, expressing an anti-Canadadian attitude... So is it a surprise to you that Canadians defending Canada on a Canadian forum in the same way Americans defend the US on American forums may come across to an American as being anti-American? Oh sure, there are some, but I'm guessing fairly few (those that don't know much about the US, US-Canada relations, etc.) that really are anti-American, but for the most part simply anti-American-poster-on-a-Canadian-boardans... So I have to ask you is - "Now that people can't hide under the premise of "hating Bush/blaming Bush," the anti-American sentiment is much less subtle. And really, that's not just "certain members on this board," who too often, btw, are the majority of the members responding. I fear it's a trend, and as I said previously, I hate to see ill feelings destroy the good relationship our countries have always enjoyed. I would hate to see good neighbors feeling ill will towards each other. And as I also said, the "blame America" mindset solves nothing." - being anti-Canadian? NOT in your view, but in ours... It certainly could seem so... To us Canadians that's Blaming us Canadians for members/posters like bush_cheney et al goading us... Pulling our chains if you will... Think about it... Then carry on and have some FUN on the Mapleleafweb, eh, you crazy yank...

It ain't complicated... WORDS Words, whether writen or spoken, in and of themselves have no meaning, it is only when the reader or listener applies meaning to them that words become meaningful... Unfortunately quite often applying meaning to words quite different than what the writer or speaker intended... - GWiz

You first... If you like it send the rest of us an e-mail, er, letter...

Save that kind of reply for BC and kind... American Woman has done nothing to deserve it...

Look kid, and I call you a kid because that's the way you act and post... You're boring me... Percentages and polls don't matter 1 iota when it comes to elections... Neither do your opinions, nor mine, about any political parties or party leaders... Not once have you given a single reason why YOU feel so strongly about the NDP... Whereas I have consistantly posted actual accomplishments, laws and/or policiess that were enacted by the party I usually support and why I give them that support... You my friend are the beneficiary of everything those federal parties you don't support have done for you to give you the life you now enjoy... I'm NOT a member of any political party and in all the years I've voted, which is a substantial number, in Municiple, Provincial, and Federal elections only 5 candidates that I voted for have won, the last one being in last year's civic election... I've NEVER voted NDP and NEVER will simply because they don't represent the things that I believe in... As for voting Conservative I will NEVER do that either, at least not federally, primarily because of their history (read Diefenbaker and the traitor Moroney) but also because they BS too much, have never been "Conservative" spending too much (for all the wrong reasons) when in power, and are quite frankly bald faced liars and two faced to the public, me and you... And that my friend leaves absolutely nothing for you and me to discuss, now does it? If you'd like to ask me a civil question about just about anything I'll be glad to answer you... If not I wish you well... If you want to "act out" as you've been doing for the most part on this thread I'll crush you like a bug (metaphorically speaking) because of my vast experience and intellect... debea, debea, that's all folks --- (Porky Pig)

Understandable... No harm, no foul... WORDS Words, whether writen or spoken, in and of themselves have no meaning, it is only when the reader or listener applies meaning to them that words become meaningful...

That is correct... I second that...
