My apologies for the bleary-eyed post I made yesterday and your correction re the SEALS. .

At the time you posted every news station was trying to get the story out first. At first they said it was a Predator. In fact Al Jezzera said it was a Predator strike and added that 20 were killed... just for good measure. lol. That's Al Jezzera for you.

Then it was said that it was an airstrike.

Finally they got it right with it being a raid by SEALs.

It wasn't a regular Seal Team either from what I read, supposedly it was Seal Team 6 (DEVGRU), they're badass.

They should give it to the operators in my opinion, you should get rewarded for a kill like that.

Such is the dilemma of being an American. You don't know whether to enjoy that, or be embarrassed by it. I would enjoy it, if I was intentionally trying to be a stereotype, a brand of humor I've nicknamed "American craziness".

I prefer trailer park trash or redneck rampage.

Or even Christian, but that's being unfair to the 3% of them that aren't bat**** insane.

LMAO.

Good clip Floss. That is so stereotypical and so darn funny.

Well, I don't see many ATVs and gun play here in Massachusetts but it goes on like that for sure in some places.

I saw a neat clip on "World's Dumbest" of Canadian Hockey players riding their mini-bikes in an ice rink. That was hilarious. All in good fun.

You won't snag me on dumb Canadians as I'm not a nationalist.

Feel free to post as many maple syrup guzzlers as you like.

Canadian stereotypes. Yeah, I remember the closing ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics and thinking, "Is it okay to be laughing at these jokes?"

Not trying to mean it like that. I thought it was hilarious. That is why I added... all in fun. The only reason it made it to "World's Dumbest" is because they set up a small ramp and one of the hockey players face planted in the ice.

I condemn people who commit war crimes and crimes against humanity, regardless of race, religion or nationality.

I expect that with a Harper majority, criticizing Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity will become illegal.

In case you didn't notice, free speech and tolerance of dissenting opinions isn't one of Harper's strong suits.

As was mentioned earlier, how can anything be called a war crime when no war was ever declared, just calling something a war does not mean it is so. No war, no Geneva Convention. No one except Hamas, al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations are deliberately targeting civilians Israel never did that as a policy, as for using human shields, that happened once and those involved were reprimanded. Why is it you always bring up one remote incident?
