Americans are not at war with each other, there are a few who would like it to be so, but never happen. I think those who want to move to Canada or where ever should go. Just what Canada needs, more or our quitters and rejects.

I beg to differ my fellow American. The war is figurative, political, economic, moral, intellectual, but not violent. The fortunate lack of violence doesn't mean the war is any less real.

Do you use the same philosophy if you see a mother or father beating a child with a stick? After all, to step in would be to "force your values" on the parent. What about intervening or calling for help when a rape is in progress?
Not quite the same thing - but do go ahead with your diversion

If the law has been broken, then yes, I would step in because I'm not upholding my values but the law. However, to go into another country and then cry foul on something which we feel is immoral or unlawful in North America but it is perfectly normal and lawful in that country is wrong. For example, stoning of women. I do not like it either but it's something that they do over there...

So you find nothing wrong with stoning women as long as it's legal? Mind numbing!!! Absolutely staggering.

Let me say it again since you didn't notice the first time...

Who are we to tell them how to run their country? It is their law, it is their religion, deal with it.

On the other hand, as an example, how many <insert middle eastern countries> citizens do you see lobbying their government to force North American women to put on more clothes in the high heat of summer because it goes against their values? Should we respect what they want? No? Why should they respect what we want?

I give a **** what she's been stoned for. That only matters to neanderthals and nut jobs. Which are you?

As a member of Bigfoot's fan club I choose Neanderthal. It's best to mind one's business in as a general rule. I am reminded of the guys who came to the assistance of a woman being beaten in an American parking lot a few years ago. They got shot dead. Call the cops and leave it at that.

I figured it would only be a matter of time before you started showing your ignorance again. :lol:

Sometimes it's best to mind ones own business (brutality to children excepted). Years ago a guy in New York went to the aid of a woman in a physical dispute with her husband and got himself killed. Hubby and wife lived happily together ever after.

Yep, you could end up looking like a bit of an ass if it turned out she was being stoned for just offing her 4th husband.

That's a hoot? You feel there is justification to stone women and I'm ignorant. To bad we don't have euthanasia in Canada.

It all boils down to resources. If the Middle East did not have any oil, do you think the US would be so involved there?

Puppet governments do the bidding of the oil companies, not the people living there. Thus the hatred.

Oh, the other thing that pisses me off personally, is that the Americans, and by extension, some Canadians, think it is their right to force their western values on other nations. Sometimes, we need to just leave other people alone... and I think that will happen when the oil dries up over there.

America is getting kicked out of the Middle East. That's why America is going to become much closer with Canada.

Then again we could start charging similar fees for food that we mostly give away now to feed their poor starving mass's living within some of these oil rich countries. Sand doesn't make a good diet. Your right, were a bad people, I say let each to their own and let the world starve, it soon will all be ours anyway. Makes no difference they hate us anyway. :roll:
