  1. I doubt that would be a good idea. (I'm reminded of Slim Pickens/Dr. Strangelove).
  2. Middle Eastern despots seem to love massive hydraulic projects. Aswan Dam, for example.
  3. I am going through it again, it's on the BBC radio 4 website. I also found Zork Zero online, that was fun if I remember correctly.
  4. I cannot see the benefits for either country for the western provinces of Canada to suddenly join the United States. Why? And how would you reconcile our differing forms of government?
  5. It says that nowhere in the U.S. Constitution. I have a copy of it right in front of me and I've actually read it.
  6. Sounds rather ambitious. Why do they need another waterway when there is already the Dardanelles?
  7. No, we don't think of you as individual "news" source. News contains facts. People in our countries question the claims of news all the time. It's called a healthy dose of skepticism.
  8. Ok, OK, I regret posting this. You're absolutely right, I'm a bad person for linking left wing b.s. with cruelty. Mea culpa. I do agree I was over the top on this one.
  9. Anyone play these? I used to love them. You had to use your imagination. Was like reading a book you could almost take control of.
  10. Pick on? You seem to forget it's a NATO action.
  11. Are you a Russian troll bot? I can barely understand this rant.
  12. It's illegal to do so. I do not recall the name of the supreme court case, it they declared such a thing unconstitutional.
  13. Morocco didn't experience the same kind of civil disorder that toppled Ben Ali and Mubarak (in Tunisia and Egypt respectively).
  14. "gayifying" I just watched Charlie Wilson's War and it occurs to me, the takeover of the Crimea, and invasion of eastern Ukraine, was the first time the Russian Army has won something in quite a while. Maybe that's what Putin was after, and it will make him popular.
  15. Can you give me a quote of what Kissinger said in the article, since you cannot show me the article?
  16. Why does it seem like some of Trudeau's supporters always run for cover by saying "at least he's not Donald Trump"? Is Trump in the running for prime minister of Canada?
  17. I clicked on the link and it wants me to pay for it.
  18. I'm curious. Does Kissinger have anything to say about Russia's actions in the past few years? Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that there was little or no private property in the USSR or communist countries. Also, one of you said that Putin has made things better religious-wise. First of all, the Russian Orthodox Church is favored over other churches. BTW, gays are beat up in the streets, legally. How is that an improvement of any kind?
  19. Hmm good point. In the States, you would have just p***** off both sides. It would actually be pretty funny to see the reaction, especially if it were a facebook post.
  20. After reading some of the 1867 Act it seems that the role of the feds vs. provinces is more well-defined than it is in the States, (where it boils down to what's in the 10th amendment, which is ambiguous anyway).
  21. If you say so. Thank goodness you can read my mind. For the record, I lean left. There are plenty of times I go after the right for their own little failures and foibles.
  22. I certainly don't intend to say the U.S. has a moral high ground, on the issue of immigration or anything else. My intent is to criticize the liberal position that Europe has one. In our country the liberals worship Europe for some reason. No country should be worshipped as a shining example, though we may take successes in other countries as examples (does that make sense?) The right, on the other hand, wants to tie everything up with religion in the U.S.
