QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) Sure. As long as you acknowledge by covering Canada with our security umbrella, it enables you to spend spend your money on your progressive agenda and not spend evil defense dollars. And that you don't get all high and mighty because we spend on defense and not on progressive entitlements. Well I don't and won't believe that. And if being high and mighty is believing what your country is doing is right as compared to another country then so be it.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) Any guesses as to why that is? Shouldn't be that difficult. Because America as is right now is a regressive country.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:30 AM) Regardless of what the defense budget is, Canada is STILL benefitting from the security umbrella we provide. China is still very communist, and by definition very expansionist. They also happen to have the world's largest army. Yas haven't we already agreed that Canadians don't bother to worry about being invaded or terrorized and you guys do. Can't we just leave it at that.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) :puke You can shrug it off but for us it's a priority. Education is the basis for everything.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) The defense budget isn't anywhere near a trillion dollars Okay I got my facts wrong but as of 2003 the United States defense budget is 11 times as big as the next largest, Great Britain and I'm certain in the last two years this budget has risen. Although I also remember reading recently that they wanted to make budget cuts? http://www.clw.org/milspend/ushighestbudget.html http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0401/S00066.htm

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:17 AM) Which the irony of that is, their entire health system would collapse if it wasn't for American consumers paying higher drug prices so that the rest of the world doesn't have to pay as much for them. American consumers are paying literally subsidizing the R&D and drug prices for the entire world. Well I don't know anything about that but I know Canada would be it complete ruins without the United States.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) I'm not talking about now. In 1965 your parents would have learned how to goose step. Sure the US has helped us in the past and such but today is a new day. It's time to move on and be more progressive. And progressive isn't having a defense budget of over a trillion dollars.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:12 AM) You don't think so? If it wasn't for "Seward's Folly" Alaska would have been part of the USSR during the cold war. They were expansionists. You figured out where they would have expanded to. No wait ... your national health care policy would have been deterrent enough. Well the entire world was close to being communist but that was 50 years ago, and as cold blooded as Putin is I don't think he's looking to expand into Canada.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) Oh come on. Hell if wasn't for the location of the state of Alaska, you'd be speaking Russian now.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) Another thing thats always interesting is everyone hates America so much but yet when something bad happens who is one of the first contries they run and cry to?? Then when they get helped all they do is b**** and cry about how back America and its people are. If I had my way I would let the world figure out their own damn problems and let America work on its problems and see how that works out.... Then what the hell are you guys doing in Iraq. f***... let them deal with the dictator on their own.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:02 AM) I have no idea what you think honestly. But after reading stuff about Canada's attitude towards the US, I sure am adverse to supporting the economy of them. Why would I give money to someone who hates me? No thanks. I'll keep my tourist dollars here in the US. There is plenty to see and do here. There's a difference between hating a country and hating its government and policies.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:00 AM) This was just to make a point. If you HAD to spend more on defense, you wouldn't consider those other things the right things. National security would be the priority if necessary. It's not necessay because the world knows we would not stand for it. We don't f*** with them, they don't f*** with us. Other countries have no reason to screw with us as we keep our noses out of their business unless completely necessary. Unlike your current administration who marched into Iraq with reckless abandon.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:54 AM) Definately. After hearing this kind of stuff, I don't want to go back again. I loved Toronto, Niagra, and Windsor, but if Canadians have that much hate for us, I sure don't give them my money. Okay many Canadians hate America but I hope you're not saying I do. Because I love America but I just think it's f***ed up in many ways.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) Of developed nations, Canada has one of the smallest standing militaries and spends the least for national defense. Why is that? Because we actually care about putting money into the right places such as healthcare and education.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 07:22 AM) Canada is surrounded by US who will come to their aid if anyone attacks. You've got to be kidding nobody cares about Canada and no one in Canada is scared of being invaded. The only country that would ever invade is the U.S. due to their disappearing ressources. ie water There is such a fundamental difference in between how the majority of Canadians think and how the majority of Americans think.

QUOTE(shagar69 @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) uhh, i dont like fat chicks does that count? im also very drunk right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drunk on a Wednesday night?

So you'd always set your alarm for like 6:16 or 10:01?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) Contrast that to Canada, who doesn't care how they look, they have Nuke_Cleveland protecting their butts also. Huh?

I'd also like to add that today polls for approving of the war in Iraq dropped to only 50%. When will it only be at 25%? Or will it be saved by this election that's going to be a massacre? God this whole thing is so f***ed up!

QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) Why does the tax rate go down for the last 2 groups? Regressive tax rates :puke

courtesy cnn.com http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/01/12/wmd.search/index.html What a f***ing surprise. I remember before the invasion one of my high school teachers said that it was stupid to believe that there were weapons of mass destruction and I didn't believe him. But I guess I also fell for it too. :banghead

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 12:47 AM) My friend read that and he said: "Why are people retarded? Seriously, I hope you can't breed. I can believe that somebody would not like Reservoir Dogs but when they say that Will Ferrell has talent, that negates any complaints they have about Reservoir Dogs." I believe it's unfair to say that Will Ferell has no talent, but compared to the talent's of Tarantino, Keitel and Buscemi there may be very little.

Ahhh my sig and avatar look bad with the other 2 skins! But I guess that's my problem.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 02:01 AM) Hey Apu, is Bubba Ho Tep worth netflixing? Is it a comedy or one of those stupid/funny movies. Well maybe it was just me but I think you'd really only enjoy this film fully if you are a fan of the horror movie genre and the Evil Dead series. If not there are still some funny parts but nothing that makes this more than an above average comedy. Elvis: "I was dreamin'. Dreamin' my dick was out and I was checkin' to see if that infected bump on the head of it had filled with pus again. If it had, I was gonna name it after my ex-wife Priscilla and bust it by jackin' off. Or I'd like to think that's what I'd do. Dreams let you think like that. Truth was, I hadn't had a hard-on in years."
