Step away from your Expresso's folks, I'm here and while my Son and his Comrades are over there (Not importing imperialism or Christian values) the apologist complain debate and complain.

Bloody well said.

Young and idealistic. Wait til life gives you a whirl both good and bad and when you've matured yor ideals will as well.

in youth there is innocence,
as one ages, one aquires experinces,
if one studies, one discovers the "real workings"

the idealism of youth and the ability to see the full scope have much in common.
it is the idealogues in the middle,
so narrowly focused due to their conditioning,
that fail to grasp anything beyond what their masters tell them.

RE: Freedom from Americas

Well, Orpheus, that was a rather balanced post.

Would you mind reprising the myth that is Orpheus
for us ?

And what it was that made you take that name ?

How hard is it to search orpheus in wikipedia? =P The reason I took that name was because at the end of his story, even with his head severed from his body, he kept on singing. I thought it was rather admirable that even in death he wouldn't shut up. It sort of followed the vein of "you can kill a man but you can't destroy him."

I also like the name...And no, I can't sing.

The way I see, Canada is becoming a nation of Nations lacking social pride or historical awareness. Many of these same self loathing hand wringing Canadian's lack the fortitude and spine to stand up for what's right.

I would disagree. People always stand up for what they think is right. It just becomes unright when they disagree with someone. And thus, democracy was formed.

Re: RE: Freedom from Americas grip

Chomsky, in my opinion, is a closet communist/socialist/apologist. His disdain for the US and Israel is almost venemous at times and he so quickly pardons dictators and despots without a second look.

Is America perfect? Not by any stretch of the imagination, but I'd rather live there than Saudi Arabia, Iran or Venezuela.

Yellow journalism infuriates me most because it is the blood of Canadian Soldiers that has been spilled so that an apologist like Chomsky can spew such psychobabble.

Step away from your Expresso's folks, I'm here and while my Son and his Comrades are over there (Not importing imperialism or Christian values) the apologist complain debate and complain.

Cheers

The complainers are Kool-Aid drinkers which casues them to think the way they do. I like the phrase "Yellow Journalism" to describe the MSM/Main Stream Media.

And we all know the harmful brain degeneration Kool-Aid causes.

I would hardly call Chomsky main stream media. Like the CBC he could fall into a category like ADM Agenda Driven Media. Unlike those who disagree with me I am not without fault and I am open to discussion.

I consider myself right of center.

Chomsky is a yellow journalistic fool, but that is only my opinion. You are entitled to yours, that is why the blood of soldiers was spilled.

Had it not we'd all be goose stepping around the issues.

Greetings - I always enjoy reading others who find Chomsky off the wall as do I.

His linguistic gifts have allowed him an audience of lesser endowed beings who actually believe his mutterings - which fill their void of needs - in finding a leader who encourages hatred and anger at the big bad wolf - the humongous "daddy" of them all...the U.S.

In mundane reality however, the man is truly anti-social and in some elements psychotic - with his paranoid fear of the enemy the U.S. of A. - which has given him the needed passion to collect those who would fall in line with his words of woo.

They are actually words from a rather impaired gentleman and I often wonder if his hatred is not the fuel which keeps him alive.

I recognize the mad when they deliver their thoughts - he is mad.
What is sad however are those who believe his words.

The fuel for the fire. His life has been dedicated to hatred.

Goose-stepping? You do surely believe all the rhetoric that has been pumped into your head over the years, don't you?

Perhaps, just perhaps, if you looked at things from a broader perspective you might see the rediculous nature of your statement.

Re: RE: Freedom from Americas

Welcome to hell Albertas Finest, the war for supremacy has already begun Uncle Sam cannot win, they can only destroy us all trying to hang on to the number one spot. And if thier human rights record is so bad how is it so many of them have managed to live, I suggest to you that you reevaluate your feelings about China. I like Chinese food and I'm sick unto death of cheeseburgers and fries.

Im sorry but these are the words of an idiot :roll:

I don't usually respond to critics but I feel the need to just this once make an exception in your case Mr Hanky, I find your comments to easy to play with, it would be unfair of me to pick on you because you
are retarded, and you are a very sorry specimin indeed, you have an IQ slightly lower than a lab rat.

Now now your showing true colours. LOL

Thing I love about ostriches is that they think they're safe even as the predator bears down on them. I hear they can be tasty as well, when prepared properly.

For the record I don't agree with many US policies. I do not however consider a Nation the enemy because I disagree with an assortment of policies and politics.

By the way Laddy or are you a lassy? Walk a mile in my combat boots then we'll see if you're so full of piss and vinegar.

It's easy to yell from a soapbox, but harder to do the task. You want to tear down and lash out, but offer no alternative. Or are you simply a closet anarchist?

What do your smelly old boots have to do with anything, you would have us believe that your wise and mature and yet you use a tired old line from a silly old song. Thats not wisdom it's habit.

RE: Freedom from Americas

I have offered alternatives, I suggest the United Nations would be a good place to start to address world problems.

Ok there Lester B. Pearson. What's the chief problem with the World? Not War, difference of opinion. You cannot honestly expect everyone to sit around in a peace-circle and talk about their feelings. The U.N. works, in THEORY and requires participation from all parties invovled. When one party stops working to reach an agreement, the process dies. Think i'm out to lunch? Look at our history since the formation of the U.N. Look at the operations deployed on in the service of peace and then compare the success rate. Abysmal. The U.N. does not work. Economic sanctions hurt the people. Peacekeeping is largely ineffective. Sitting around and throwing accusations out at eachother in session gets the World no where. Hell even UNICEF is corrupt with a large portion of the money collected simply disappearing. The problem with the U.N. is that you appoint people to police...people. Seeing as no one person is in essence 100% right, this process has a huge potential for failure. Look at Rwanda. People cared nothing for the African nation and look how it turned out? You cannot make people compassionate, you cannot make people understand your point of view. As a result, 800,000 Tutsi's were killed BECAUSE of the U.N.

RE: Freedom from Americas

So do you have an alternative that does not include bombing the piss out of the world.

red? not at all. I am of no colour.

Something you have experience with, perhaps?

For the record I don't agree with many US policies. I do not however consider a Nation the enemy because I disagree with an assortment of policies and politics.

I never called the US "the enemy". Where did this come in? I don't refer to any construct as "the enemy".

By the way Laddy or are you a lassy? Walk a mile in my combat boots then we'll see if you're so full of piss and vinegar.

You will find that I am not full of "piss and vinegar". If you only knew the shoes I have walked in. I however, have not adopted a philosophy of "these shoes are so comfy I won't try any others." Do not be so blindly fooled by your own intertia.

I have proposed various solutions to "real world problems". The mistake made around this forum by "those on the right" is they tend to get too binary in their thought process and thus fail to understand the full complexities of issues. The left can be just as guilty of this, granted, but at least around here they seem to have a greater ability to critically analyze issues and address the entire spectrum of conditions. Back to your boot: not one size fits all.
