At least we know they'll be good at it. 
France to Broker Surrender?
- Thread starter Serial Midget
- Start date
I just saw that coming a....mile....away.
I just saw it as breaking news on the BBC. I've really got nothing against France except for their crappy bikes freakish cars. French-Canadian hocky fans are another story.
I still could see it coming 
And hey, I grew up calling the Quebec Nordiques the Blue Frogs and the Montreal Canadiens the Red Frogs. Ahh, the glory days of the Edmonton Oilers.....
Although, I've gotta tell you, Leaf fans take the cake. They've got a Stanley Cup parade planned every year in September. (Then they cancel it in October)

OK, ok! Am I more or less predictable than Damn True???
Less. You vary a bit
All apologies to Damn True. I rarely agree with him, but he makes me think about why I think what I do, and I appreciate that.
The only thing that is more predictable than Damn True is the inevitability of death.Originally posted by Serial Midget

I am a reformed Monkey Pimp Disciple... until that ordeal with the Killer Toasted Cheese Sandwich.
speaking of the maple leafs...
Why? He is a good sport - he can take it as well as he can give it.
at the hockey games too?
they have been booing the u.s. anthem at games again. Guess the star spangles banner isn't as popular around here as people thought.
i wouldn't make personal attacks on citizens...intentionally. i just think that these are stressful times. Canadians tend to vent on americans when we get p'd off.

I remember Canadians booing the American anthem in the past as well. They sorely underestimate how important hockey is to a lot of Canadians.
You forgot to quote the rest of it: I rarely agree with him, but he makes me think about why I think what I do, and I appreciate that.
Hockey is important and so is the star spangled banner to the americans that are out there playing. It is embarassing to hockey fans when this happens.
This is the first time i heard about why Canada did not participate in the U.S. war though. Age old political traditions they called it.
It took some canadians to boo the hockey game in order to get a direct answer around here.
That's odd... he makes me think of deep fried stuffed shrimp.Originally posted by Silver

Arg! Don't you Canadians watch US Network TV??? It's a Coalition of the Willing who are conducting this war.

a u.s. led war it is. how quickly people forget that the u.s. used their diplomatic immunity (because the u.n. resides in america) to 'go alone' and there was nothing that anyone could do to stop them.
That is why when russia and china tried to declare that this is an illegal war at inception they were defeated and their comments were stricken from the media almost right away. The U.S. is not about to be tried by an existing international body.
Basically George W. Bush is acting above the law right now in his actions. The rest just joined the coalition afterward. He is untouchable in his position and can decide to attack another country after Iraq while the U.N. picks up the pieces afterward. I am betting on North Korea in 6 months after this war is finished. However the Isreal situation ranks in there too.
America is a war machine. With all of that hatred and instant gratification they will get from regime change, they are not going to stop. Ceasing operations while the U.N. rebuilds Iraq would just strengthen their Public and International Relations just enough to go again in 6 months.
George W. Bush won't be allowed to keep the oil, he will continue to pursue the war on terrorism. Clear-cutting as many enemies of the U.S. as possible in an effort to establish lasting world peace.
That is my impression of what is to come, it isn't about to get revealed to americans all at once, it will get drawn out in the media.

We have the the testicles of the former USSR in at jar at the Smithsonian.

Nope, we already been there and done that. Kim Chi is tasty though.

Well... we are the biggest kid on the block.

Please...We're not even going to touch "The Oil"

You forgot about the stock market going back up while oil prices decrease.
Kim Chee is gnasty. As for oil, who needs it? The rising popularity of SUVs like the Excursion, Suburban and Expedion with their outstanding fuel economies show that the US will soon have no need for refined oil. Plus efforts to curb the use of plastics in disposable packaging, while coupled with information campaigns about plastics recycling, have almost reduced the plastics demand to only the essentials: condoms, IV bags and soda straws.
Does this restore your warm fuzzy feeling about you national anthem?

It's sad when ignorance abounds in such close friends (such as Canada) and even within our own country.
