shadowshiv,
China, what is with the bashing of Canadians?
I've learned that from sweet Canadians, bashing the Americans , here ,on the Canadian forum.
Seriously shadowshiv,what do you mean by ..."bashing" Canadians , did I ever say That Canadians are stupid ,ignorant,self centered ? or that they don't know how to play hockey? or that their beer stinks? no I have not said any of these things , and you have no point shadowshiv.
This is not the first time you have done this, either.
What I have done is to read some threads which were "reserved" for bashing your southern neighbor, it turned my stomach .No ,I wasn't drinking a Canadian beer at that moment.
I work my ass off at work, as do the majority of other Canadians.
And the World turns.
Also, you seem to belittle every other poster in this thread. Why is that?
Just answering foolish posts ,with a foolish answer.
And I do not think love is a self-deception.
Neither do I. Who said that ,and where?Lead me there shadowshiv .
If all you had in the world was food, clothing, and shelter, that would be a stark, lonely world indeed.
I was going to say ..."not as long as there is a hockey and a beer" but I will not say that....
PS..why are you bashing me now?

You did in your opening post. Anything beyond food, shelter, and clothing is the start of self deception. Do you even read what you write?

canada doesn't supply food, shelter or clothing to anyone except a very select few. Mostly these are the very poor or sick. And we don't do enough of this either. Otherwise you are on your own for food, shelter and clothes.

I would certainly abuse our welfare system for better sake of my living standard.
That includes divorced mothers.

Yep. I am sure bashing you, by pointing out the bashing that you did to the other posters. You got me.:roll:

And so, just because of a few people that bashed Americans(of which I was NOT one of), you decide that it is okay to bash people. That is good logic. No, you did not say any of the things in the above quoted post(as far as I know), but you said that Canadians do NOT like to work. So, yes, you ARE bashing Canadians. And this is not the first thread that you have said that either.

This isn't a personal attack on you, but if you want to take it that way there is nothing I can say that would change your mind.

Regarding love? I said that. And that is good enough for me.

You have the answers - have you turned away from introspection? What has happened?

I thought an essential of life was growth of self and outreach to others - we are not insular beings but in our growth must have comparison with others for our own measurement. We can never stop, sit, and say, "all done".

Life is a continuum - are you sitting or resting or have you turned your back on it?
Something is different. Be comfortable and let the sun shine on your face China....

So,you are bashing me because I bashed Canadians and I bashed Canadians because the Canadians were bashing the Americans.So don't blame me that I was bashing ,but bashed the one who was the first bashueri.Sorry ,I'm bashed out.Let's love each other.

Yes you are - your writing shows it.... I have never known you to be so upset and angry with people... it is confusing.

Refresh yourself dear China.... sort the problems .... put some away for another day... deal with the most immediate ones and get some rest....

With care...Curio

Correct. Is this wrong?
