btw - i’m sorry my initial post degenerated into being locked down . . . :oops:
It was fully intended to convey my best wishes to our neighbour - not to generate an international incident.
how embarrassing . . . give me one more chance Yanny . . . i’ll try to be good :wink:
You guys should settle your issues the English way, over Tea :) Or, I’d love to see a modern duel (pistols? Hell, Grenades baby!)
No, Moses, you see Canada will be annexed by your predecessor in the oval office Chastity Bono.
“especially when the family is sleeping around with other members of the family . . . incest is best . . . keep it in the family”
Those topics are the best! Especially the one: “I slept with my long lost sister and I didn’t even know it!” or “My Mom is Hot!” Only in America… :wink: At least this makes my dysfunctional family look good. (which is what every American sitcom worth a damn is really about)
And Jerry’s Final Thoughts? Pure Genius! :lol:
“You guys should settle your issues the English way, over Tea Or, I’d love to see a modern duel (pistols? Hell, Grenades baby!)”
Yet another reason why we need shows like Jerry Springer! And those guys get paid for doing it! :D
“Sure, being a stripper will gain you all the money, freedom, and sex you’ll ever want, but is that what you really want? Is this worth losing your dignity and possible your own family over?” - Jerry’s Final Thoughts
They should have duels on Jerry Springer :)
Yeah, but I doubt that. Ever since they barred fights on that show (damn Rosie O’Donnell and her activist), the show has why too much sex in it. Moses’ Iron Law #1: Every Jerry Springer show will have something about stripping, prostitution, or adultery. Or maybe even all three at once! :wink:
Isn’t that the way it already was?
Reminds me of that joke about the Canadian Aircraft carrier not willing to get out of the way of an American military position…on land!
"As for me, heck, I don’t really care, truth is I even rooted for Brazil. Now, do you see me purposely going out and say, in front of those German fans, “So what? No biggie.” No, that’s disrespectful, means a whole lot to them, and it kind of soils their celebration. That’s what I was talking about.
“No double standards against europeans !!!”
Who said anything about Europeans? If you from Canada or Mexico, I would still say, in front of our national holiday, keep your comments to yourself."
You said it!
America is always wrong, everything we do provokes ill feelings? Stop the double standard against America or we will pull men out of Bosnia! (Well, if you don’y exclude American servicement from the International court!)
I know what you mean Horten, we have like a 1,000 men defending Finland from the U.S.S.R.
“America is always wrong, everything we do provokes ill feelings? Stop the double standard against America or we will pull men out of Bosnia! (Well, if you don’y exclude American servicement from the International court!)”
Sorry, this was too funny and all too true to resist. :P I always get all this anti-American rhetoric about America being this overseer (which is in some sense true) run by George Bush or as Saddam would call him, “The Great Satan.” So why don’t we just pull all our enlisted servicemen from Europe and ship them home? (Well except for France, where we keep our secret CIA operatives [j/k] :wink:)
We have like 50,000 troops in Germany defending the Fulda gap. We should pull them back and use them for the invasion of Cana- erm I mean Iraq.

ahem.
The invasion of Canada . . . how amusing would that be? Do you honestly believe that we do not prepare for this daily? You prolly think that we are not conscripted into the “anti-American-Invasion-Counter-Measures-Forces” at 12.
4 words:
Bring on the noise!!!
Ha, Calfornia could probably take over Canada by itself! :wink:
Nah, then we would have to go up against fierce killer Polar Bears (Run away, run away) and drunk Canadian Mounties. :P

You really have a thing against Canadians, don’t you.
It wasn’t the Canadian hockey team handing the American team its ass at the Olympics, was it? :lol:
America spends 150 billion dollars a year at least on Europe and Korea. (possible 180, i know korea is 30, but i forget if the 150 is a combined statistic.) America gives money to “aid” countries when no one gets it and god knows we never meant for it to really help the “people” anyhow. America dropped 22 billion dollars like a hat to mexico, and gave billions to China, the power that will take us out in less than 50 years, thanks to the soft money donations to the democratic party. Give me a goddamn break, and people complain about 3 billion dollars to israel! Stop throwing all of our money away like that! America can care less about Russia invading Europe, and we know it isn’t going to happen. So why spend all the money for it??? Korea might be important for a future base of attack on China, god forbid there is a future war. Israel, Egypt, and other countries affecting the Suez canal are also important.
I’m not sure what I am ranting about anymore…
“It wasn’t the Canadian hockey team handing the American team its ass at the Olympics, was it?”
Well hockey isn’t exactly our sport. As for Canada, they are expected to win. Now if you beat us at our own game (baseball, football, basketball, ect), that WOULD be something.
I’m not so sure China would win a future war. They do have a larger army, but ours is more advanced. It would not be very hard for America to increase the size of our Army several fold, but it would take years for China to update it’s military.
Besides, we are better positioned. We are close allies with South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. We have 100,000 to 150,000 troops deployed in South East Asia, in addition to naval assests. We are also starting to deploy anti-missile systems. The Chinese equivalent wiould be being allied with Canada and Mexscio, deploying 100,000 troops in Mexico, and porting one of it’s fleets at Vancouver.
Like Horten, I hope war does not come, because millions would die, but I doubt the Chinese could win. How could they get their troops over here anyway? They may have a big navy, but we have carriers loaded with enough hornets to blow them out of the water. Plus all our subs. Some of which have a nuclear arsenal comparable to China’s.
Which brings up the nuclear question. China currently has roughly 20 ICBMs, though it has at least 400 nukes. However, between the CIA, NSA, Anti-Ballistic missile defense, both deployed in Asia and in Space and in the United States, we ought to be able to keep them down.
And to clear up one final point, in an anti-missile system, each missile would not be targteted once. Attempts to shoot each missile down would be made 3-8 times. Each layer has about a 50% success rate.
“I’m not so sure China would win a future war. They do have a larger army, but ours is more advanced. It would not be very hard for America to increase the size of our Army several fold, but it would take years for China to update it’s military.”
For now the Chinese aren’t that much of a threat. They aren’t dumb. They know if they much as lay a finger on Taiwan, the results won’t be pretty. However, China has already begun modernizing it military (not just the army, but all of it) to prepare for the 21st Century. And if war should break out (even now), I’m thinking that both sides would be hopelessly stalemated. Remember how much difficulty we had against the North Vietnamese and in Cambodia. Try going up against 1.3 billion Chinese! And the Chinese will have find a way to defeat our dominant Navy in order to reach America, no easy task. (Not to mention having to fight their way against every real American with a gun to reach Washington DC)
America is always wrong, everything we do provokes ill feelings? Stop the double standard against America or we will pull men out of Bosnia! (Well, if you don’y exclude American servicement from the International court!)
America is very good at this provoking IMHO. And please, feel free to pull back your troops, and pay your debts to the U.N., and stop blackmailing the U.N./ international community.
I hate having the worlds strongest power break into tears and cry for revenge at any opportunity……
