You may not realize it but Canadian Content is now becoming more like an American forum because of comments directed toward fellow members designed to hurt them.

If so it seems to be failing. I've never been hurt here. I've been amused and I've been made to reconsider things from time to time but never hurt. From what I've seen its rare that anyone gets hurt here - or if they do they don't let it show.

I'm on several "American" forums and they don't really match your description of them. Interesting.

As for names mine means 'walker of the western woods' and my room mate's is 'lover of horses' but neither describes us accurately. Its just a fun piece of trivia to look into.

After all, he survived a second term, very narrowly, which I am sure is a wake up call for the democrats.

Well that's way cool..........so can you also tell us what happened? Did he balance the budget; get people back to work; solve CC; ............really an inquiring public would like to know. :p

Dude what's with all the negativity.. it's just Interesting.. After all, he survived a second term, very narrowly, which I am sure is a wake up call for the democrats.. nevertheless, he is still the Pres.

It's just an interesting topic..I never new the mans history.. they were talking about it on MSNBC.. he has a very interesting heritage and childhood.

Mine means 'leader of the people', but I only intend to lead a rebellion against our corrupt govt and the bankers control of our debt-based fiat currency.;-)
