PyROTech Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 ok, so as a canadian, i get to read the news. Maybe true or not, but this is what i know. Our press says that canada is now the number 1 in the amount of troops in afgan. and we are proposed to stay for 20 years, we have commited to stay till the region is safe, so when the americans say we do nothing we are here b/c we believe that there is some truth to the 911 attacks and agree that it does come from afgan. so we are there, but we dont believe iraq has anything to do with the current attaks on the US. But still our best troops are there to protect the rest of the world, yet i remind you that if you watch one of the rambo movies we see that at the time the us was on side with the people we as canadians are fighting. YOu weapons are killing our troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdizzle Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) You just lost all credibility when you said you saw "this while watching rambo." BTW, it's not new news down here that the US gave weapons to the afgans during their fight with the USSR.

All i was saying is next time i hear "also something that came to mind b/c of someone else" (the canadians never do anything) i wanted to inform our friends to the south werent arent just sitting up here drinking wheat beer, and by the way i dont drink wheat beer nor do any of my friends so i dont know where that came from. I assume yer talking when you say wheat beer, that god awfull stuff in the yellow label thats supposedly natural "not regular beer". Also we have stupid hemp beer which also tastes bad.

Asinine Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) Well here it is from my perspective.1) these regions will never be safe by our standards. It's really kind of like that Maslow hierarchy of needs. Once you can eat then you worry about being safe then blah blah blah you self-actualize. Well, when your entire world is dirt, you never have enough to get passed worrying about what to eat.2) CANADA'S ECONOMY DOES NOT RELY ON THE US ANYMORE THAN THE US RELIES ON CANADA*. Canada and the US are very symbiotic!Next time you fill up your car, remember that the single largest oil source for the US is us... CANADA.* i do recongize that we have the greater benefit in this economy/trade game, but don't be so ignorant to think that we owe you anything - cause we don't, and we never will!
