Stanman,

you say you don't want to continue,
but you finish with questions.

My viewpoints are in no way extreme.

As far as the war in Iraq goes, I'm sure a great many Americans share them.

Don't accuse me of intellectual dishonesty, fact is, you are the one who has given up responding to facts you don't agree with.

And finally, it was you Stanman, who started the whole Canada vs the US tenor of these arguments when you made the following comments earlier in this blog. Read on:

"No offense, but are they still teaching mathematics in Canada? .....

By the way, the second link you provided has TOTALLY false numbers on the chart! Is this Canadian propaganda? And you believe that? ....

You may think that Americans are simply ignorant as your link stated. However, I find that disturbing coming from a country that is subsidized by the United States. Not only do American drug manufacturers subsidize medicine in Canada, but the US also has subsidized the defense of Canada for many decades. Canada would probably have been taken over by Japan if not for the security the US provided. Canada or certainly Western Europe would have been taken over after WWII by the USSR if not for the constant threat of the mutually assured destruction offered by the US. Similarly, the US has subsidized the protection of Japan since after WWII and South Korea since after the Korean war. So you can try to provide your BS saying the US spends too much. But if the US was not defending the above countries, those countries would have to pay for it themselves. I wouldn’t be opposed to that idea! Make Canada finally support itself. ...."

I love how you don't even try to make a comment on the Downing St Memo. You know why? Because if it's real, it shows you've got a first class liar for a President and his whole administration was in on duping the American public, and because of that, Americans with nothing at stake are now dying in Iraq.

BTW, lots of Iraquis are dying too.

Debate those facts, Stanman.

I would like to see Stanman and Tsusiat duke it out in a pool of Maple Syrup while pelting each other with cheeseburgers and debating the finer points of North American politics. I think the first point of debate, before the first burger is tossed, should be agreement that each country has the beauty of free speach that allows for their comments to be posted.

Let the burgers fly gentlemen.

Tsusiat, love reading your posts, very insightful, please keep on posting!

Do I win for longest post ever?

Perhaps. But my "Huh?" should be the shortest post ever!

Eh?
