personally, i'm not getting involved in this argument, but has anyone noticed how the argument is everyone who's american on this site is siding w/the us and all the canadians are going the other way to a big extent. i'm glad a lot of you know how to open up a book when you're told to in history class and then be able to reiterate verbatim what your book tells you.
personally, powder99, you should keep your mouth shut and quit fighting about something you wouldn't understand if it slapped you in the face. you're yelling at people about their ignorance and how stupid they are...i recall you saying this a little while ago 'and they wonder why everyone hates them, fuck even americans where canadian flags when they travel just so they don't get the shit kick out of them.' that's a really moronic thing to say...i know a lot of people in the u.s. proud of their heritage and what they did to get here. in addition, lot of my friends go to foreign countries and buy the shirts of the countries they visit to bring them home as a souveigner. When I went to Austria, Germany, and Switzerland 5 years ago during the German gov't party change, which mind you, wasn't overall a pro-U.S. gov't (not pro-U.S. population), I wore a shitload of shirts that basically screamed I'm an american. i'm not saying the us gov't is good, but the general idea of most americans is. there were almost no countries entering the war b/c they realized they had to do something. i can't think of a single one that did. it was a really bad vacuum affect during treaties hence why washington warned against political parties and treaties. On another note, powder99, you said 'Andy canadian did a lot of great stuff in the war, they freed the Netharlands, and won many major battles, they were won of the best fighting forces in the war.' Quick cheap shot, they obviously didn't teach grammar did they? I can pull out like 9 or 10 more gramatical shit stains you left on my screen, but I won't.
ski_instructor, you said 'ya, but 9/11 actually made it worse, now the us is going to invade every country that has beef with the states.' Bush is all talk...personally, i wish someone would shove a shlong in his mouth to keep him shut. The Senate along with the U.N., despite that some of you may believe that the U.N. is run by the states completely, would never approve of the states expanding attack onto anywhere but afgahnistan. Worldwide condemnation of the states is not something Bush can deal with while in office...not only himself, but his entire political party would be ruined and need complete restructuring. Immediate loss of future presidential and congressional elections would follow for the republican party without a doubt.
the US did NOT get into the war b/c they were wanting a beef up of the number of people to enlist. there were a number of reasons, and if that qualifies as one, its be at the end of the list...i, personally, wouldn't even wipe my ass with that reason. for those of you spitting verbatim from the history book you're looking in right now, you might want to add that we were in a depression at the time and its historical proof that war creates economic boom...hence swinging 20s after ww1 and then black tuesday.
darryl, when you said 'you mentioned nothing about canada who declared war on german even though the germans did nothing to them.' You forgot to mention that canada didn't start to even go into battle till 1941. None of you can say the U.S. waited and were fools considering we entered about the same time as Canada. You also forgot to mention that it was at Britains request and heavy pressure that Canada 'voluntarily' entered ww2. In addition, you might want to remind everyone that Canada was at that time, and still is, but less of one, a free nation of the British Commonwealth. oops...one more thing...ON SEPTEMBER 9TH IT WAS LEARNED THAT TWO CANADIAN WOMEN WERE ON AN UNARMED OCEAN LINER, SSATHENIA WHICH WAS SUCK BY GERMAN U-BOATS...THE NEXT DAY, CANADA DECLARED WAR ON GERMANY INDEPENDENTLY...oh shit does that mean you were attacked? I'm not sure. Come on man...no darryl...it wasn't you who said it...i'm just on the topic so I thought I'd put that in there. So here we have Canada joining ww2 b/c of an attack on their citizens and an attack on their political allies. Wow, bitch me out, but isn't that what the U.S. does sometimes. Is it just me, or has anyone else heard the expression don't throw stones when you live in a glass house. (darryl, just so you know, i'm not taking shots at you...i'm just going off on tangents, so you can kick me later).
as for you c_lo, yo my brotha whad up. are you from the hood or something? i really don't know what country you're from, but you talk like you think you're in a gang or something. lemme clue you in on something from wandering the northeast end of boston or the projects of philly, real people from the ghetto don't talk like that...stop watching mtv. i must say though, you're my favorite type of person in the world, the one who's politically active and reads everything possible from a minor standpoint, disregarding the majority. I think that's really commendable, but the part you forgot is that there are other sides. don't start quoting malcolm x and pretending like you're all bad ass b/c you picked up one of his books and can quote him. you're not gonna get any respect until you at least know the other side...you don't win a debate by throwing out strong opinions and not stating the other side's argument and beating it to a pulp. malcolm x didn't get to the point he got to by listening to one or two people...there's recorded fact of he and mlk jr reading almost anything and everything they could get their hands on. on another note, you sit here talking racial inequality crap...yeah it exists, but unless you show me that you've done anything but spit out words, that doesn't mean shit to me...it all depends on if it means shit to you. i've been to way too many ara (anti-racist action) ant-nazi, anti-kkk rallies w/friends. reading, pa has one of the biggest klan headquarters in the east. i think the worst thing is if it turns out that you're from canada b/c that's like being in asia and being like yo my relatives are suppressed in the U.S. You talk about us getting into other people's problems, you're doing the same thing right now to a certain extent. seriously, i'm pretty proud of anyone who sticks his neck out on other opinions, but don't live in some fantasy world b/c its not gonna get you anywhere.
wow this is long...ok i'm gonna go. just so everyone knows, i definitely don't hate canada, just some of the people in it (a lot...but i also hate some americans and i hate very few people). keep the us vs canada bullshit down. i mean i could easily take some cheap shots at canada if i wanted to. like, whoever said does canaduh have submarines yet, yeah they do, they also have an airforce, but i wouldn't be too afraid of paper airplanes, i don't think they can make it that far let alone carry any bombs. sorry there's my cheap shot. the u.s. gov't sucks...why can't you people just leave it at that. congrats to me...this is the longest post ever. so how many friends did i lose by going ape shit? i hope none
