I live in So Calif and I drive an SUV and you sir are way out of line with your remarks. Do you sincerely believe 99% of Americans are sick bastards?? If so, I feel very sorry for you.

three quarters of the world population think were sick bastards. Englishmajor is just an example of the sentiment that is now world wide. Weve brought the worlds people together. So get used to it. At least it's easy to ignore with all the comforts inside the castle walls

No. YOU are clueless, American. Think you can follow this article? DO try:

Oh yeah, you Yanks are really doing the Iraqis a favour. You would strap bombs on YOUR backs if they came into your country (which they did not, clueless amerikan.) Iraq had no WMD's and were not responsible for 9/11. THEREFORE, why are you there? OIL. You could care less about the people, and you know it.

If you Yanks are so humanitarian, why don't you go to Chad? Bingo! No oil there.

Tell yourself another story as this one is old an tired. Immigration to the US hasn't fallen and the American Dream is as alive today as it was 20 years ago. American foreign policy may not be popular, but America is.

I post articles because they are valid arguments against your insipid replies. You can't argue with the truth. If you find the articles insulting, contact them. I don't write them. Insulting me - we'll that is the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it?

Personally I could care less what happens to America. I don't care if you get blown off the map. What I DO care about is the negative effect America is having on the rest of the planet. If ignorance is bliss you people excel.

Anyone who could defend Bush, with all the information available (try BBC or commondreams.org) is dumber than dirt.

Dig yourselves in deeper and see who in the world will care. You, Americans, have no friends in the world other than those 3rd world countries you can still intimidate.

If you feel that is spewing venom, I really don't care. I think it's spewing truth. Hard to take isn't it.

I have posted good valid articles from excellent sources, yet you are determined to ignore them. Typical American way of dealing with problems. 'Like, maybe it'll go away if we ignore it, yeah'.

I'll start handing out handbaskets. That will be my contribution to you idiots.

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. (Oscar Wilde)


How very true. Notice the word 'only'.....

Mere name calling. The lowest form of debate. Proves zero. How about making an actual argument with content in your own words?

The article posted on the first page is about women and children being killed by Americans in Iraq. It was posted/published by Reuters. As far as I know Reuters has always been accurate.

Just because you refuse to believe that women and children are being killed does not invalidate the article. The article was/is to be used for debate. Did you want me to make something up and post it? Facts are difficult to argue with, aren't they?

Why don't you be a tad more precise about what you would like me to debate?

(Hey, Oscar Wilde was famous - I didn't make up the quote, but if the shoe fits.......it certainly is not name calling, but truth. My, but you are testy! Hit a nerve, did I? I suppose you disagree with Mark Twain's quote as well?)

I leave you with another quote, then back to the issue - 'There is one simple way for the US to decrease very significantly the plague of terror in the world, and that is just to stop supporting and participating in it.' (N. Chomsky, 2002).

Now, back to the regularly scheduled argument:

Englishmajor says - "Personally I could care less what happens to America. I don't care if you get blown off the map."

Really? Well then what happens to Canada if America gets "blown off the map"?

What you fail to remember is the special relationship shared by both our great nations, from our common history to our current dependence on each other for commerce.

It is fine to criticize each contries politics and politicians, but for you to use such commentary against the people of the US is foolish, shortsighted and shows your ignorance.

As an objective observer, there is plenty to criticize about Canada such as it's inept and liberal immigration policy which has a direct impact on the national security of both nations.

Just remember, if America get's "blown off the map", Canada will fall next.

You guys should ignore englishmajors rabble rousing. The user has added nothing to this forum and acts only to distract converstaion and to bait others.

Now, back to the regularly scheduled argument:

We sometimes kill civilians by accident, as has occurred, unfortunately, in every significant war in history. There is no way to make war without this happening. Our opponents target civilians, e.g. hospitals and children, as the primary, intended targets. What more needs to be said? As for Oscar Wilde's comment - it's simply undocumented name calling, and not a proper factual assertion at all.

E-Major - As usual, you failed to answer a direct question posed to you regarding the Canadian Air Force killing civilians. That's OK. You seem to be just another loud mouth Bushwacker who does not understand the how dependent both our countries are on each other.

No time to waste on you. Have a nice day.
