Clearly you have a set in stone opinion of myself. Fine by me does not bother me in the least but it is clearly upsetting you.
After all if it was not for Gran-pappy and Grandma's and the other sons and daughters we would be all good little National Socialists. But then again we are not thanks to those that served and the result is a Free Country.
I can understand all the reasons a person enlists. You cannot. That in itself demonstrates you limited ability to see the many sides of an octagonal coin.
Would you make a good little Nazi? I wonder what makes you such a bitter little man.
How is US foreign policy and American's indifference affecting the average Iranian?
Man, I gotta wonder what your standards are, and how much history you know. He did some good things, certainly, like patriating the constitution and giving us a charter of rights and freedoms, though I think the bit about the supremacy of God in the preamble is not appropriate for a secular state, and he did some bad things, like the national energy policy, devaluing and starving the military, and he ran up a pretty big deficit. I don't think he ever understood that Canada is not just urban southern Quebec and Ontario. He may be the best of the last half dozen or so, but the greatest we've ever had? I hardly think so; Sir John A. still holds that trophy. He built the place.
Yeah, perhaps. Being the best or the worst of the last half dozen or so is... well really, there's not a star in the bunch, maybe the standard should be "the least awful of the last half dozen or so." Have you read Will Ferguson's entertaining book Bastard and Boneheads? It's about Canadian Prime Ministers, and he argues that there are only two kinds, the bastards who get things done and trample all over anyone who disagrees with them and the boneheads who achieve nothing of significance because they're too busy trying to please everybody. He offers Trudeau as the prototype of the former, Diefenbaker as the prototype of the latter. But it was written while Chretien was PM, so it doesn't consider Paul Martin (probable bonehead) or Steven Harper (probable bastard).
lol....i wish.
A co-ink-ki-dink you should present that query.
Keep watching the news for planned sanctions against that country and it`s population...in between commercials..

It is interesting that many feel the need to attack someone just because they have a view of things that does not fit into our society's little status quo box. I find it funny that those who say things like "ya gotta think outside the box" want to silence anybody who does. Question our media fed opinions and people start screaming for their blood. Any body who rocks our comfortably numb state of acquiescence to the acceptable view of ourselves and the wonderful freedom we enjoy is to have their freedom taken away. Does not anybody else see the absurdity of all this? It is like we hate people whose opinions question the validity of our own because we might just have to wake up from our stupor and actually think.
If this was real physical reality and we were all in the same room, Most here would tar and feather JBeee and run him out of town on a rail for having the audacity to have an opinion that is actually his own. You are a frightening bunch.

Not that book but I did read one about how to be a Canadian by an author named Ferguson from Fort Vermilion.
Hell no......As long as they stick to Laundries and restaurants and the odd corner store.
Edit: they still have the corner stores up north....too cold for Palistanis or muslims;-)

You really believe that JBeee is saying what he really believes in. JBeee is what we call a "Pot Stirrer", takes a situation and make a completely ridiculous opposing argument that no one could possible believe. Some fall for it, some don't. Never underestimate JBeee.
Jbeee would never have the balls to stand in a room of veterans or their families and glorify their being killed.
They have them down here too but that isn't the point.
Under those circumstances I would honestly find myself a vantage point, or fill a van with gas and fertilizer or get myself a ticket on a Chinese domestic flight and raise the cost of lumber.
So again, while I understand how caustic it feels to hear it on Remembrance Day, it bares repeating as some people choose not to get why it happens.
Okay.....Now that I'm done blowing up the *@#% slant eyes....let's talk aboot turbins in the RCMP and what should I do if a woman on a horse in full hijab and wearing a burka flashes her badge.....should I let her check my junk, or just climb on the horse with her without my lawyer?
Good point, you've convinced me.
He is easily in the top 5 of greatest Canadian Prime Ministers.
Yea, you bring up the fact he ran up a deficit without mentioning that the same trend was seen in many of the western countries at the time, including the u.s.a...
Let's see....Pierre Elliot Trudeau....
1. Declared martial law over two kidnappings, and threw hundreds of Canadians in jail without charge or trial, a kept them there for up to six months.
2. Then let the perpetrators of one of the kidnappings go to Cuba.
3. Destroyed the Canadian military.
4. Started the habit of peacetime gov'ts to spend WAY over their means.........giving us a headstart down the slippery slope to huge debt.
5. Started the uniquely Canadian tradition of ruling by Order in Council, completely by-passing Parliament........the bulk of which he referred to as "those nobodys"
6. Created nation wide bilingualism policy..........idiotic in the extreme.
7. Created a useless Charter of Rights, which enshrines the idiotic ideal of cultural suicide (known as multiculturalism), and actually enshines the method of removing rights (the "notwithstanding" clause)
8. Does the above without Quebec (in a blatant egotistical attempt to make himself "great" before he retires), thus ensuring a strong Separatist presence, which damned near lost the nation in 1995.
The man was the worst PM since Willy King...............
oh no, bilingualism and multiculturalism!
and he didn't "destroy" the Canadian military, nice exaggeration war-monger.
Full credit for gutting the Military goes to Chretien & Martin. They just outdid Trudeau.
Having a lawyer isn't a right in Canada. Becoming occupied for profit doesn't mean you have to go full blown bigot. I should say that touching your junk would probably get her unceremoniously thrown out of her Mosque and likely the victim of an honour killing. So you wouldn't have to suffer it too long.
This whole Burka business is in my mind nothing more than a way for terrorist gunmen to quickly blend into a crowd. Not a bad tactic really and I've noticed it catching on here.
That is not the US, those are UN sanctions nice try though. How is US foreign policy and American's indifference affecting the average Iranian?
