I wonder what is worse, people who top post, or people who quote vast reams of text, just to say something like "Well said, Carl"
PS, the only soldiers I am thankful for are the ones who, in 1812, made certain that I would not be born an American.
You just have to love people like this that immediately have to start with the cut downs on America. Show's how petty they are. Come back when you are an adult. As opposed to the other guy's "signature", you mean?
Besides, I'm not cutting down "America" -- I am part of it, in case you forgot your geography. Perhaps you mean cutting down the USA -- not doing that either. I'm only taking one ignoramus to task for his obviously bigoted view of the world.
OK I missed some of this and have no idea how this got started. Darn huh?
I am thankful for 1812, because up here, we have human rights laws that take precedence over someone's right to "free speech" -- I like it that way, thank you very much. I like it that vagueness of expression is not a defence against a charge of incitement to violence.
I love this country and the way it is, but I also admire quite a number of qualities of the USA (not your judicial or political systems, though). You have a pride of your country that is nearly absent up here -- but I will always object when that pride becomes the arrogant assumption that you are somehow endowed with the God-given right to meddle in the affairs of a people nearly 20 thousand kilometers away, then accuse them of terrorism when they get mad at you. What is even more galling in this instance is that that assumption is expressed in a most vicious, vitriolic and bigoted manner -- and your Constitution probably protects his right to say it.
Such a Constitutional right to publicly express your hatred towards others is totally absent in Canada, and for that I am thankful for the war of 1812.
The fact your thankfull for any war at all is disgusting at best. -Allen.
