Mexicans immigrating to…Canada?

No, but I was looking them over at the store last summer.  I think you’d be better off to buy a used Honda or whatever for a similar price, but they were really not that bad looking for $500.  This Spring they will probably show up again at the stores.  The nice thing about them is you wouldn;t need a motorcycle license or insurance to drive them around trails or whatever (or you could just get a mountain bike)

@Janus1:

asmodeus: kind of an esoteric reference there, huh?
ralph reid: dont know who he is, and couldnt find out from google.

as far as hillary: my dislike of her has nothing to do with her politics. i know next to nothing about her politics, and the one issue i actually know her position on, i more or less agree with (more than any other politician ive heard). so why do i dislike her? dont know really. something about her gives me one impression: power-hungry manipulative b****. i dont know where i got that, nor do i know why or how. but i greatly dislike her, and it has nothing to do with her politics. that said, if she is elected, im moving to canada.

I can give you a good reason not to like her.  After 911 she charged that the administration should have told the people of Manhatan that the air could be contaminated by the explosions (on 911).  She used it as a mud slinging game with Bush, saying how he doesn’t care about the long term effects of exposure, cover up… all that nonsense.  She is not a stupid woman, she is like you said “a power-hungry manipulative b****”.  She knows very well that telling people on 911 that the air could hurt them would have caused a panic.  Manhattan is an island with only a few bridges.  10s, if not100s of thousands would have died in the ensuing stampede.

She is not fit to be a senator, much less our president.

No wonder the Minutemen are taking over protecting the US Mexican border.

I see it more as if the minutemen won. The border is becoming more secure because of the political pressure the minutemen were able to apply by making people aware of the problem. Bush was ready and set for an amnesty program before the minutemen came about. Now the illegals have become desperate.

@F_alk:

Still, that does not explain why you chose that era to use the names from. It was not the correct time (as during the NATO and Pact times the Germanies were “independent” nations), and not the current time (as there is noWarsaw Pact anymore).
Actually, “it turned out after the war that all of it was NATO” …
What was the reason to use the intermediate era and thus historically misleading names?

I thought it was occupied until the wall fell in the 80’s/90’s?

@haxorboy:

And honestly really, the people up north have great beer so let’s not be so quick to jump on them okay?

hackie__,
I don’t think anyone’s jumping Canadians(except for a few stupid women I know who swoon at the Canadian accent.)

I cannot think of another nation I’d rather have as a neighbour. Of course, they’ve had a couple hundred years to get used to the OCD nation south of the border.

Maybe France. Then we’d have a neighbour we’d enjoy invading! :P :D

PShackie__, I never met a transexual I didn’t like. :roll: :wink:

@BigBlocky:

I’m a great fan of the UN but…… It has lately been a disaster… Germany in my opinion has taken herself entirely out of the equation, it is her choice. …Anybody who says “No matter what happens, I won’t do a thing” loses their right to consultation.

True, i am not happy with that too firm position as well. But to be honest: In my memory the US started similar in the opposite position, not really accepting any “evidence” against their point.

If the UN is hell bent on being useless as it was in Bosnia at Srebrencia … useless as it was in Rwanda …

The UN is not the world government. It can only be as strong as it members want it to be, especially as the strongest member wants it to be.
It’s not the worlds policeman, and it doesn’t have an own army to command. You can say it is weak, and i wouldn’t object. But: do you want it stronger or shattered?

No, I’m sorry. The US has shown enough evidence. Even if there were no weapons of mass destruction there is no argument that I have heard that convinces me it’s better to let this mass murderer stay in control and hold hostage a country of 22 million.

You are right in the second part of that caption, but i would not say at all that the US has shown enough evidence. It is more that the US defies what ever Hans Blix is saying: For the US, the Iraq is in a lose-lose situation. Whatever he does, the US won’t be satisfied and claim it’s further proof.

If you don’t want to left a finger to help these people then fine. But get the hell out of my way because I am coming through……

If your government had argued like that in the start, the situation would be totally different. To change the position now would lokk extremely silly and would hint that there is some hidden interest by the US that they don’t want to say alound.
For you coming through and me getting out of your way: If you always prefer action without thinking, then it might be better for you if i trip you while you pass me. Then we can sit together and make up a strategy that has more chances of success.
Assume you are right, and Saddam has WMD. Hoe many of his people do you think will survive being freed?

reminds me of a funny story:
A friend of mine - an ER and intensive care doctor - occassionally moonlights as a family physician doing locums (i.e. filling in) for other family doc’s. One day an American woman comes in for a regional exam (basically just a run-of-the-mill medical complaint). At this time, the Canadian tariff (or fee) for a regional was around $15.85 Canadian - just around $10.00 US.
You can see it coming, can’t you . . .
He asks her for the $10.00 and she turns and asks him “are you sure you’re a real doctor?”
Since then he routinely bills Americans $100.00 - just so he looks like a legitimate physician.

Kinda said really, but coming from CC, Hahahhahah… :lol:

Yeah, I guess DC is a good place to visit if you’re a tourist. But, like Hollywood, you don’t want to live there. :wink:
