Sigh... so young, so naive.

Why not get involved in something that's ultimate goal is offensive nuclear weapons in space? Especially when it's the most violent, hated, imperialistic country on the face of the earth running it? The tests have already cost hundreds of billions of dollars and have been a miserable failure, but we may as well "profit" (?) from it. Especially since it may "save our ass" from all the countries who have repeatedly launched ICBMs at Canada.

Good call. :thumbsup


(learn how to read books)

ok ok maybe i was too high % on muslims...lol... but about Asians it is true!

probably way over 30% for asians lol!

You keep making that retarded statement. I don't get my news from TV, much less Fox News. You figure Bin Laden is just cool with Canada participating in Afghanistan?

You're brainwashed by television, news or not. If you want to talk about retarded statements, read your last post.

I'm offering you good advice, take it. Instead of TV, read a book a week. You'll be amazed at how much more intelligent you are in a couple years.

PS. Who said anything about Fox News?

I read closer to a book every other day. Don't pretend to know me, because you don't. You yourself come off as a cry baby liberal upset that the World just doesn't understand that you have all the answers. Oh but if the foolish would only listen! Anybody who disagrees with you is immediately stupid in your eyes. See things a little differently? Must be brain washed by television!

Let's set the record straight here. You don't have any inside sources in to the Middle East. You're not publishing insiteful academic papers on political sciences. You're just another pornographer on GFY. Climb down off that pedestal, you look foolish up there.

Warchild, where did you get this information about the "bounty" Osama Bin Laden has on our heads?

The fact that you go to sleep at night worried that Bin Laden is going to fire an intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile at Canada proves my point that you should seriously cut back on the television. I'm not trying to be hostile, just offering friendly advice. It's the great tragedy of our time that so many intelligent people are slaves to what they see as mainstream thought, as projected by television personalities.

Doctorine of preemtion. Crying "You think like that because of Fox News." is your SOP.

Incorrect. Canada would be expected to pony up substantial amounts of cash into this boondoggle. One of the main reasons why people 'in the know' don't want any part of this chikanery is that it is at its essence a way for bechtel et al to syphon several billion dollars out of our government directly into their coffers, combined with the general disdain for any plan calling for the weaponization of space.

Yes, it's impractical to remove ourselves entirely from the situation, but we sure as fuck don't have to throw our sweat and ducats to the bottomless pork barrel to chase a rediculous dream that amounts to little more than a payoff and a sense of comfort. Bechtel, Halliburton, and the rest of the blood profiteers can all run off and play hide-and-go-fuck-yourself.

Canada has enough issues with our own politicians wasting our money on stuff without having some corporate neostate trying to approrpiate more from us to feed its insatiable need for cash. :2 cents:

I thought I remembered reading it in a translation of one of Bin Laden's taped messages. I have to admit, however, that after a quick websearch I am unable to find any other reference. So perhaps in this case it was a bit of fluff I picked up somewhere. The heart of the matter is the same, none the less. How do you suppose Bin Laden views Canadian troops attacking Taliban in Afghanistan?

I sleep fine at night. If you use that big ol' brain you claim to have and carefully read my post again, you'll notice I don't suggest that Bin Laden is about to lob ICBMs at Canada. I was just refuting the following statement:

"to make a simple for you, we do not need a gun, cause we are not cowboys shooting indians"

How do you suppose Bin Laden likely views Canada's participation in Afghanistan? You don't think there's any chance he would have considered that action a little "cowboy"?

Actually that's not true at all, and I've never told anyone to listen to my point of view. People who repeat nonsense like it's some sort of fact are brainwashed by television, as you did in this thread. It's has nothing to do with differing world views, it has to do with you being misinformed, and you trying to spread that ignorance to others.

Maybe you should take more time to read these books, one every two days, I don't think they're sinking in. Coloring books don't count.

Just to set the record straight, I don't believe Canada needs to or should participate in this failed missile shield project. Canada may not have any large scale enemies at present but to suggest we're just the rainbow and sunshine of the World, universally loved by all without a detracter anywhere seems kind of foolish.

So it's your contention that it's absolutely not possible that Bin Laden could harbour some ill will towards Canada over our foreign policy, specifically Afghanistan? It's outright impossible?

I suspect most of what you've said to date has been based on similar "fluff". This is the kind of thing that wouldn't happened if you stop watching television, hence my advice, which you so rudely dismissed. This "fluff" is what educated people call misinformation, and it's what nearly everyone in this "TV generation" bases their world view on.

Do I think Bin Laden is going to declare Jihad against Canada because of our role in Afghanistan? No. Even if he did, do I think he's a real threat to us? No. Even if he were a threat to us, would this have anything to do with strategic missile defense? No.

Now I'm going to climb in to my bed with a copy of Guns & Ammunition monthly while drifting off to the soothing sounds of CNN. Maybe tomorrow I can catch up on the Nascar scene. Yee Haw and good night.

Bin Laden can harbour my ass for all I care, he is not a threat to us.

That's a good move. :)

It is not my contention that Canada needs to participate in strategic missile defense at all. I was simply answering one specific comment.

And no, I don't think Canada is innocent. In fact I think most Canadians are hypocrites for judging Americans who turn a blind eye to Bush's policy in the middle east, all the while turning a blind eye to our own involvement in the destruction of democracy in Haiti.

...with misinformation. Which is why I made my comment about TV.

Ok, start making things up because you look stupid for trying to feed people your ignorance.

Talk about preemption, I preemptively defeated your ability to delete your lame post.
