Yep, you got me there. Pam Anderson.

The statement was not who cares what asians think but, I love openminded asians.

Your attempt to change the statement and the undertones of it are weak at best.

I see me being attacked as asian to bolster the side of the Canadians.

Sad really.

You might want to do just a tad more research before you make another post like this one.

Just a suggestion.

The point was to show Tony_A his statement "Who cares what Canadians think" was identical to the statement "Who cares what Asians think"

Next time I will enclose everything with [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] and [irony] [/irony] so you meatballs can get it.

Yep, you got me figured out.

I said that?

Grade 8 is calling, you forgot to take Reading Comprehension.

This is the dumbest thread of all time and I am withdrawing because I am stupid for entering it.

Well simply saying "who cares what asians think?" has racial undertones in it and is much different than an american saying "who cares what canadians think about american politics".

Gee who is this Anthony guy? Never heard of this guy? He must be new or something.. regardless.. he's asian.. probably filipino. I don't like asians and I really hate filipinos. My guess is he is like big and bald.. probably into Jiu-Jitsu or some such shit.. sounds like a dork. :moon

Smartest move on your part.

It's to hard for some to understand this Jas.

Anthony_A:

Who's whining??

It is not only the Canadians that express opinions/polls on a country that has caused many problems lately. Most of the world is looking in disbelief at US Admin incompetence - tho that is nothing new over the past few years.

Since the US is now seeking *any* international help it can muster to keep it out of the shit, - I doubt your comments about support by Canada are valid. Bluntly... you can't afford the luxury about moaning about places like Canada when you are asking them and other countries to provide support and bail the US out of the swamp.

Canada like the majority of countries did not believe a load of lies as justification for a war. Clearly they were right - who is dumb??

BTW.. you will get the "handouts", simply because others are concerned about Iraq and elsewhere, but not under the "rules" of the current US Admin.

Webby,

Good post and I can see your point. However, my original reply to the post of a Canadian poll on U.S. policy. It is a moot point.

We receive no support from Canada in the matters of Iraq.

If Chretien took major decisions afecting the entire world... Damn right I would be interested in knowing how other nation percieve Chretien (and canadians) :2 cents:

was the poll in the first post about american politics? Iraq is a state now?!

Anthony_A:

??? Canadians and anyone else can have polls on whatever subject they like - what's your point??

The poll simply reflected opinions of Bush which I suspect are global - not exactly a surprise.

Agree, the US does not receive support from Canada - nor the majority of other countries - in Iraq. The international community already made up their minds over the "evidence" on Iraq and dismissed it - hence no support.

PS. This "evidence" was long known to be false/deceitful - international orgs know far more about the middle east than the US Admin and have known over a long period of time - long before Bush was ever elected to anything. :)

Your best friends are asian too, I imagine.

Gives you the right to say you love openminded asians.

I'm wondering why you didn't say I love openminded americans.

Gotta play that race card.

While the US has not received any direct Military support in Iraq ( I mean our Army is better known for it's sexual escapades than for fighting these days) we are helping out in Afghanistan now.

Canada in Afgahnistan

If this poll was about Afghanistan versus Iraq, you would have a point, and the poll would be taken for it's value.

cause I happened to see a pic of you the other day On gfy and remebered that you were Asian. I thought that by saying "i loved open minded Asians" you would pick up on the stupidity of what I was saying and realize that i was poking fun at what you said....not who or what you are as a person.

Fair enough. Peace. It's why I had to ask the question I did to you. I've only heard good things about you and being racist was not one of them.

peace it is...and that works great for me :)

Come by the booth in january and we'll still do lunch :thumbsup

Cool beans, you can add a filipino to that group of asians that outnumber you! :)

:) The slight difference is that Chretien has not taken Canadia into a war based on lies. He is not responsible for killing 1000's of innocent people, maiming 1000's more, leaving people starving and without decent medical attention, - the list is endless. Then, asking the rest of the world to help Canada out. Duh??

I am not familiar with the history of Chretien, but knowing *nothing* about him, - I'd have little doubt he has more savy than Bush any day. Hell, *any* leader in the western world has more sense and experience than Bush.

You might have a point if the question was worded more like 'has the war in iraq turned into a quagmire?'. Instead the way it's worded seems (to me at least) to be more about peoples opinions of Bush than about if iraq has turned into a quagmire.
But that doesn't really matter. I was attempting to point out the difference between two remarks which were not equal.

edit just to be fair: To be honest I didn't even know what the poll was about until you asked if Iraq was a state. heheh

Ok, but they still don't get to vote for president of the US.

The position of Canada was to go thru the UN.... Now we are back at this point, even tough Bush can't face it.

Canada was and still is involved in the Afghanistan situation. We have lost soldiers to ... the US Aviation....

Our opinions or polls are as important than the one in the UK that was backing the US, unless you only consider polls that satisfies your own political and military agenda... In fact, all opinions are to be considered as a pulse on the perception of this hawk administration.

I hope that Canada will help the Iraqi population ( medecine, water, food, ...) but will not replace US troops as occupiers.

You go in a store , it says:

" look only, but if you touch and break, YOU pay"

Too bad more Canadians did not get bombed in Afghanistan.

nice. you've been trolling a lot lately. slow work week?

Think what you must...

Fact of the matter is it doesn't matter to me. US loss of life there doesn't matter to me -- either.

I dislike socialists... be they from Canada or France.

So?

MrPopup:
Thought the word might be crawling, not trolling?

Some ain't worth the effort - it just ain't there to start with :winkwink:

you say that like being pompous is a bad thing:1orglaugh

oh, and there is no space between the "12" and the "clicks" when typing "12clicks"

I think the point has been made well here, that all US Citizens are brain washed into believing that they are invunerable, such is not the case, do I need to bring a certain date 2 yrs ago.

I the US doesn't care what its closest neighbour thinks, then the US really turning its people into Xenophobes!!!

:2cents

Here Here, I feel safe in my home as a Canadian, and I don't worry about being yanked into a war I know nothing about

This statement was completely un-called for, US Friendly fire killed Canadians, and they got off scott free for doing it
