What's it called when someone has an intense bigotry directed at a nation or national identity?
Whatever that's called - you're the biggest one I have ever come across.
I don't think that we live in, or share the same Canada as a home
Please don't. As a general rule people here don't get honoured for the mere act of going to work in the morning. You might wish to focus more attention on all the CEO's who weren't at work when the planes hit. Tell you what, if you feel so strongly about honouring people how about providing them with health care instead? Try doing it for all Americans and see how that works out for y'all.
BTW, does it ever occur to y'all that when you post on a Cdn site it might be polite to leave your marine corp icon at home? The US Marines are not generally respected here and the image to many is of the random killing of women and children. Or deliberate in the case of snipers. Just a thought.

But they were legitimate targets, so what's the big deal?
Yep. So it's all good.
I'd say they deserved to die for that very reason.
So, you felt bad, but you're not sympathetic. No inconsistency there.
Because many of us lost friends and relatives.
Yep, so we deserved it. What goes around comes around.
We briefly had a "peace dividend," but then we got back on the power trip.
Like Britain after the Napoleonic Wars.
Life ain't worth much hereabouts.
Thank your sky daddy Putin will protect you.
Is my Nightmare Moon OK? I ask because it's an American cartoon. Wouldn't want to offend any Canadian sensibilities.
Would you prefer Fluttershy?

and the Soviet Air force...
Intense bigotry? My criticisms are not directed at individuals and are backed up with examples of why I feel such political fear and disrespect for the United States today. Your comments, OTOH, are personal. One suspects that you either do not read what I write, are unable of comprehending it, and in any event are disinterested in following site rules. No doubt if I were to change the reference to America in each case to a reference to Nazi Germany it wouldn't bother you. Or would it? In any event a bit of careful thought and study would show you that my belief that America is politically definable as fascist and the most dangerous threat to world peace today is clearly defensible. Is that okay with you? Serious question.
Second serious question, do you always personally insult those with whom you disagree politically?
Canadians like to think of themselves as "polite". In terms of keeping to a political agenda without calling individuals names my posts maintain a proper level of politeness. People who are unwilling to participate wholeheartedly in political debate without devolving into personal attack lack should stay away. That's what the rules say, anyway.
No no... we will every year. Feel free to forget your fellow Canadians. We will remember them.
We will honor them so you can forget.
What a dumb statement.
Like who?
Heck no!
I've been coming to this forum since 2005 noob. I've no plans on changing my icon.
Looks like someone had his girl stolen by a Marine. Is that what happened? lol
What do you know about this forum? You've been here a couple of weeks. I'll be posting here long after you're gone.
Don't forget the elderly... we like to kill them too!

Sure is. It is now 12 years after the fact and the continued references to 9-11 are nothing but a cynical attempt to justify more killing and more Military Industrial Complex spending. For instance Obama’s attempt to get a consensus to attack Syria. Nerve gas was just fine in the 1980’s when America’s then-friend Saddam Hussein used it against Iranians and his own people. Now all of a sudden it is cause for the American cowboy to draw his piece and go kill more people in the Third World. One or two good salvos of cruise missiles will generate millions in profits for the American arms industry. Ask any detective how to solve a murder mystery and s/he will advise you to follow the money.
Conspiracy theorists have pointed to the almost complete absence of CEO's from the Towers at the moment of attack - an anomaly apparently compared to most days. Don't believe in conspiracies, you say? It is always humorous to hear that. Any plan of action by two or more planners is definable as a conspiracy. 9-11 itself was a conspiracy - to suggest that only Al Qaeda had a conspiracy running that day is naïve. The economy consists of multiple parallel conspiracies all operating at once. Geo-politics is conspiracies by definition.
Really? What an immature thing to say?
Want another example of immaturity? Posting a photo of a guy with a rifle. It says nothing positive. It adds absolutely nothing to the topic. It means nothing in the context of the politics under discussion. It is just one more example of the American gun fetish. Not hard to tell who is Canadian here.
Mister tober,
I'll speak first in my black voice. Green is for when some people become a real nuisance or I'm feeling grouchy, like when my ingrown toenail acts-up and I stub the fukker. I rarely use purple. The common sense force is still strong with you I think.
While we appreciate your participation on the site, be advised that there have been and always will be, Americans of various stripes as members in good standing here. We also have several members who are not very fond of our cousins. That's ok too.
But if you choose to be all edgy and stuff, and pick a fight, then be prepared to defend against the fallout or simply don't bother.
Besmirching an entire nation might be considered...well, provocative.
Look, I can identify brother...I hate a lot of sh!t from the states. They gave us orange tan selfies, douchebag celebrities, weak beer and bad television. I feel your pain. I really do. And they deep fry everything.
But let's face it, if we were really up against it, the United States would be the first (and best) ally to come to our side. They likely provide more emergency global aid and assistance than any nation. Always first there. Nobody has to ask. Kinda like a good neighbour, a best friend. They probably don't send earthquake, flood or other natural disaster victims an invoice for their troubles.
But hey, you're free to post. Just don't expect us to police the responses, whether you report them or not.

I am in complete agreement with your sentiment excepting the the tiny bit I highlighted in red or green. No such record of benevolence exists either now or at any time during the Imperial rise. You did mention bad TV.
The whole idea of his photo was to get a rise out of you... and it worked.. tool.
I know a couple of these guys, they both went bat sh*t crazy and now self medicate. One is a raging alcoholic the other hooked on Afghan smack, both divorced with restrain orders, and they know others in the same boat. They hang out together because there is nobody else they can describe what they are going through to.
Poor bastards
No it's in memory of the fallen of th anniversary of 9/11, more important the first responders doing their job trying to save people, risking their lives to protect others, firemen, police, medical ....
You know those people you are quickly to call on when you need them, but YOU just shrug off their memory.
