Still MIA… Worth a thread Necro!
What the hell is wrong with you amaricans!
-
Sorry a bout the Annon, that was me.
-
you have the tenacity to spell America wrong? Too many canadians are pompous a**holes…like americans…like everyone! So don’t blame america for a bunch of drunk sports fans.
You see me saying “What is with Arizonans” because their baseball team chants “Yankees suck.” Mini-phreek, you are freaking out too much.
-
ummm . . . HortenFlyingWing, i think that miniphreak was more alarmed at the timing of the booing. Don’t get me wrong - i’m a fairly vicious sports fan myself sometimes. It just seemed a little inappropriate that at a time when Canadians solders are being (accidently) gunned down by the people that they are trying to help, our national anthem is being boo’d and our flag being burned by Americans. I would be appalled at a fellow Canadian who would display this kind of behaiviour - i think that was miniphreak’s point. Obviously, being Canadian, we would be more ravenous hockey fans then Americans . . . :smile:
-
how about the chinese american hostage crisis? But europeans had no problem mooning bush.
the timing wrong? yes. is it right? hell no, have respect for those catchy tunes. does it mean all america is bad? no, it just showns how much prejudice and anger min-phreek has.
-
Prejudice? no. Anger? fk yeah. I’m a Canadian citizen and this busines of you fking self righteous aholes decide to insult our country with your ignorance. Saying it was bad timing and unforunate is all well and good. Too bad for you, that you have proved yourselves as hypocratic bastards in the past. Lets just take Semptember 11 as a perfect example. The destruction of the two towers was an unfortunate incident and your anger for what has been done is understanable. But you meddling sh*ts have been doing the same thing to them for decades. So dont get all indignant when the tables are turned for a change. fk you, Canada rules!
-
That made it past the censor???

Holy, someone has to settle down a bit. i remember going to "Jet’ games :sad: back in the day and when they played a Anerican teams the fans always boo the American Anthem. Its all part of the Atmosphere.
By the way, the states was right behind the Canadian figure stakes, when the gold metal crap happen……

(i hope this doesn’t count as spam . . . ).
I think that it’s obvious that we don’t all share “Annonymous’” point of view, and using 9/11 this way is tasteless and brings no dignity to anyone. Although American foreign policy has many obvious flaws, we’re all on the same side, and Canadians, Germans etc. all lost loved ones in that trageday (not “incident”!). Saying “f**k you” is not going to do anything to awaken American sensibilities, but rather denegrades Canadian ones. We have a place in this world as peacekeepers and influence brokers, not anti-american propaganda machines. Although i am not American, we do need to build bridges with them, and if we truly are “enlightened”, then that will be noted.
(ok, no more posts from me on this. i promise)
p.s. America does need to drop its tariffs on softwood lumber, but that’s only the “free trade/NAFTA guy” in me. -
The US seems to be imposing some tariffs on foreign competition at the pressure of domestic businesses. The lumber tariff with our neighbors to the north seems the most disheartening. Americans don’t care, they buy what they want no matter who manufactors the item in question. There’s been alot of “Buy American Made” over the past years but again people buy from whomever the want - hey, it’s a free society…

Back after a long weekend at West Point (great Boy Scout event).
Mini, the Canadian Soldiers were killed because of poor communications on both sides.
What is the attidude about it in your country? No one in the USA really cares, to tell you the truth. It was out of the news in a week.
-
Yanny…you said that it was caused by poor communications on both sides? Which 2 sides are you referring to? I understood that american planes flew over a canadian training exercise in afghanistan, heard gunfire, and assumed they were under attack. I’m pretty sure they have to first lase the targets, and request permission and see if the ‘target’ IS actually a target. But instead of doing this the american just dropped the bomb…is this correct?

I believe the offical ruling is “Pilot’s Judgement”

The US and Canada can’t go to war. Where will all the US draft dodgers hide???

Socorro! Socorro! Necesito burrito y taco!

It is mindless nationalism that starts arguments like this. Canada is great. The U.S. is great. They both have things to work on that can improve them but there is no need to cause such a strife over an accident. War makes you think differently. I know that if I were patroling and heard gun shots that weren’t my platoon, I would fire back. Sometimes you don’t have time to evaluate a situation and respond appropriatly. Although the only thing that is timeless is time itself, it can either work for you or against you. This is an example of against you.

Seems like the issue with friendly fire is that it has always occurred. My grandfather is a WWII veteran who fought in Iwo Jima. His Marine Corps Division was always harrassed by the Navy bombers! The air groups couldn’t believe the infantry would advance so quickly and assumed they were Japanese. His C.O. at one point had to lay a large US flag on the ground to stop his men from getting killed…
-
Keep in mind, at least if you believe our government, almost all the casualties in Afganistan to US soldiers was the result of friendly fire.
