One of these is true, so which is worse?: Ford votes against honouring Nelson Mandela & Canada’s Olympic/Paralympic athletes, or he votes mistakenly twice?

I love people who think they're clever when they say "The US is not a democracy, it's a republic" when they obviously have no idea what they're talking about. The US is obviously both (or a plutocracy rather than a democracy if you want to get picky).

True enough. The US is more of a plutocracy than a democracy.

Apparently the Tea Party isn't sure, but ehen noone has ever accused them of being clever.

So who are these people MG? I actually find it amusing that there are people who think the US political circus has any actual merit. I see it more as an source for entertainment.

as much as Iraq was a stupid fiasco that has hurt America's reputation for many years to come, it doesn't make what Russia did any less wrong.

He sure puts in a lot of time with his foundation improving the lives of the impoverished in an attempt to prop up his false impression. =)

Oh you mean his pharmaceutical research in African countries where he can do legal human experimentation? Oh ya, Bill Gates is like a BIG BROTHER watching on you!

Still like him better than Steve Jobs, when he was alive. BTW Google is doing what Microsoft did, but better, right now.

When Justin Trudeau and other politicians say their "focus is on the middle-class", does that mean they don't give a crap about poor people?

"One of the most effective devices is to encourage debate, but within a system of unspoken presuppositions that incorporate the basic principles of the doctrinal systems. These principles are therefore removed from inspection; they become the framework for thinkable thought, not objects of rationale consideration." - Noam Chomsky

Actually some of us do care about the violence that is going on around the world!But when you mention Margaret Thatcher,George Bush (both)Obama,etc,etc or pretty much any other western country,the focus suddenly turns into something else to distract.

"We [the U.S.] are the most powerful nation in the world—economically, politically, and militarily—and we are likely to remain so for decades ahead. But we are not omniscient. If we cannot persuade other nations with similar interests and similar values of the merits of the proposed use of that power, we should not proceed unilaterally except in the unlikely requirement to defend directly the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii." - Robert S. McNamara

I want to say, and this is very important: at the end we lucked out. It was luck that prevented nuclear war. We came that close to nuclear war at the end. Rational individuals: Kennedy was rational; Khrushchev was rational; Castro was rational. Rational individuals came that close to total destruction of their societies. And that danger exists today. --Robert Strange McNamara

Scary!

After all these years I finally just put Shady on ignore. Why waste more precious moments of my life reading nonsense?

Punked, Shady etc. please post your US poll updates here instead of clogging up the status updates with them: http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums//index.php?showtopic=21762

M.G.
That's likely why I ignore status updates and rarely post one myself.
Most of the updates, are just updates on the latest propaganda talking points.

US polls are meaningless, polls should be based on electoral college projections
