Crit wouldn't fight for his country hes a closet nazi .Hes the type of guy that would rat out his own mother

I'm amazed at all the personal attacks that don't get noted by lefties, yet when Jay or I make comments we're told to cool it. So much for "equal rights"

but to say that all Irqis are possible insurgents because they dared to fight back against an invading army is ridiculous.

If you are a civilian and you get killed, your a civilian casualty. If that same civilian picks up an RPG and fires it, he is no longer a civilian but a combatent. I don't know of any simpler way to explain it.

Would you not fight to protect your country, Crit?

If the invading army was going to topple our existing Liberal government, I would fight alongside them.

I suspected as much...this guy, like many conservatives, is too wrapped up in risk/cost analysis to put anything on the line for anyone...not only is he a traitor, but a coward, as well...

It's mostly conservatives that risk their lives in wars. You lefties are too busy protesting the troops and hugging trees.

No, crit; It's mostly conservatives that risk other people's lives in wars.

sniff........sniff........do i smell someone smelling trees without me! pea - henry - you must join us on our tree hugging escapades!!! we have soooo many trees to hug and such a short time to 'reach out and touch' every single one. henry, first we start with the short-lived, but by god, do they smell good section (usually referred to hedge trees and such); then we graduate to the mid-size trees - of mixed breed and heritage usually (alders, maple, etc.) those who usually don't live beyond 15-20 years of age. AND THEN.......we move into the 'big mama's' (my reference!).....ah, nothing like hugging a 400 year ol' gal. (usually giant red cedars and the like).....it takes many people to reach around it, but believe me, it can be done. it's wonderful and then you stare up into the amazing arms of the tree and it hugs you back. sniff.

thanks pea, i had forgotten our semi annual ritual....

pea, we must book the bus and get everyone organized for a tree hugging weekend ----- stat!!!!!

I think that in your case the thought is good enough. Think mental hug.

I've got a couple in my yard though. They aren't huge like the ones you guys have, but every time I mow the grass I end up with red welts.

RE: US Guilty of Starting

oh are they like shrubbery? I once heard it's because they have little red spiders living in the shrubbery type variety. Lots of people have that reaction. I'm sure that you could still hug a tree...just pick a tall one where your only touching bark.

That or slather yourself with petroleum jelly. Course you'll probablly slip of the tree a couple of times but it'd provide lots of entertainment....lol

They're the Manitoba/Ontario version of what you have. Smaller and shorter lived.

I think I'll stay away from the petroleum jelly treatment...welts aren't that bad.

RE: US Guilty of Starting

That's been going on for sure, MrMom. It's really class warfare and it permeates the culture of the USA's political and business elites. It happens here too (think about Quebec City or APEC), and in other places (WTO protests all over the world, for instance), but at it's very heart it comes out of the richest beating the poorest down for their own profit.
