White Doors

I think that is a sexist post. What overt generalizations! The minority of males in this country must demand funding from the government to fight these sexist stereotypes. Equal rights depend upon it!

Childcaer? How is that only a Woman's issue?

I wonder if they at least harvest all the soon to be flooded woodland before flooding? That would lessen the impact of years of rot would it not?

It was a joke with a point. If you like that aspect so much, would you not like Honolulu even more?

haha Geoffrey, a highschooler called you snicker

Sorry, this is rhetoric. How is this a 'Woman's issue'? Thanks!!

So in your opinion the Canadian Military is not honourable? Please extrapolate here.

ahhh ahahahhahaha!!!

And WHO has more insight into the future? I'd like to know. I have a few stocks I'd like to discuss. Please PM me. Thanks.

Seriously, was there any dounbt that good 'ol Winston would be voted the greatest man of the 20th century?

Catchme An uneducated, biased, insulting world view such as yours as has been revealed here is the most insulting thing to Canadian veterans. I know, I have shown them your posts. They LAUGH at your assertions that you are a veteran and cry at your vandalism of the good, valiant, Canadian name in history. So you know. Think about that when you are trying to sleep at night. They said that they feel sorry for you.

A love for tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril. All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents. The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning. It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time. It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required. Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. The price of greatness is responsibility. To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day. Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.

Ok, I am sorry if I missed it, are you currently in the Military? As you are aware, many fine young men signed up to fight in both WW1 and WW2. If you are not currently in the Military, then you can do battle with these guys now, and sign up as they did in the past. You can think about this and decide. As for the past month or so, when the recruiters were enticing my sons, I left the decision up to them, but certainly don't believe that this war is worth the loss of my sons. Do I think it is winnable? Yes, I think there is still time under the current doctrine? I am still not convinced So do this White Doors, RAH RAH RAH< FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Kill all the bad guys and don't negotiate and maybe we will win this right? Which is the doctrine of some of the posters here, not a formal military doctrine. Sorry if my opinion on the citizens of Canada being supportive of a UN, Nato and GOC mission in Afghanistan upsets you. Perhaps you could name me a current potential conflict that Canada could be a part of that would be more worthy? Thanks!!!!

WHAT "women's" issues?

And which BINDING Un resolutions said Israel had to remove itself or face military action? Pray tell. Also, tell me how Israel captured territory on an offesive military manner. Who is Israel's Kuwait? Feel stupid yet? Doubt it. You would have to be half-smart to see how dumb your correlations are. Pity.

Unless someone doesn't support 'newtonian physics' (that being gravity).I suspect Poly got his degree from the Wile E. Coyote School of Engineering Come on now, you are giving Poly a wee too much credit there are you not?

Hawaii? How are the conversations at the bar stool Jerry? Think that's why you have to come to a web forum to vent? Think about it

The context was this. We are there and clearly would require more personel if we were to extend the stay. The media didn't get confused, I watched the O CONNOR and Hillier on TV not Harper, they explained it. This was the option used, Rerolling, which isn't that unusual for military overstretched. So take an overstretched military and stretch it further. Of course as a "truck driver" in assymetrical Warfare it is the truckers that are going to be tagged. I have driven a duece and half in the dark. You didn't ask me, but I will offer my answer anyways. Was Canada prepared for WW1? How about WW2? Are we going to cower under our mother's legs when generations of Canadians before us came out into the light and met the challenge? That is the question we all must ask ourselves. Name me a perfect war and I will name you a time when Canadians tucked our tails and hid and wished it all away. If Canadians can't come to belive in the righteousness of this conflict then we really do not deserve a position of leadership in the world - as shaky as that qualification has become in the past few deceades. The western world way of life is the fragile society. It is NOT the one we are in battle with now. We all have to think about this and decide.

Or we can institute the death penalty for all crimes and save money. Simplistic arguments are for simplistic people. you made your choice.

Thanks for coming out but they already HAVE segregated units. run along now.

Nice post Jerry. Finally - strategic thinking!

The 'Canadian Peace Alliance' is really credible when they a self-contradicting sentence like this: I mean, My 6 year old niece could pick that out. Oh! The stupidity!

Oh my, the poor terrorists were backed into the corner and the USA killed them with the UN - backed government's blessing and invitation yet catchme has a problem with it. how surprising! If this was the 1970's she would be arguing how the SU was simplyh 'mis-understood'. Thank God for the Reagans of the world.

I don't know what the additional costs are of segregation units but I suspect it would be a lot. you suspect? oh. that's VERY convincing. thanks for that.

That says more aobut the thugs and the thug-apologists (europe) in the rest of the world than it does about America, my friend. I disagree my brother. We are in the midst of two failed wars, we are attacking and provoking in Iran and threatening others in the region, and we are bombing in Somalia .. but It's their fault that they think we're dangerous? The truth is, we are dangerous and out of control .. and a great many Americans believe that as well on both sides of the political divide. Who's fault is that? Not sure, but I don't see many Bosnian, Serbian or Croation suicide bombers anywhere.. Do you? Facts are neat!
