jt1stcav Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 All I gotta say is...to hell with providing music to nuke Baghdad. Those nasty Iraqi soldiers don't deserve to hear any music blasting from our warbirds as we're dropping bombs over their rag-top heads! As far as our military is concerned, they can listen through earbuds from their MP3 players the following selections: Freddie Mercury: Mr. Bad Guy Lindsey Buckingham: Go Insane Robert Plant: Shaken 'n' Stirred (the whole damn album) Phil Collins: I Don't Care Anymore Boston: Don't Look Back Kansas: Song For America These have probably been mentioned already throughout these hundreds of posts, and there are obviously more desirable selections to choose from, but anywho...I like 'em!

lynnm Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 It is interesting to note that most of the problems that the U.S. has faced in the international arena in the last 50 years can be traced back to its behind the scenes involvements and entanglements. Many instances could be cited including: Argentina, Chile, Cuba, The Domininican Republic, El Salvador,Grenada,Greece, Honduras,Iran,Iraq,Panama,Viet Nam etc. The most recent and most horrific backfire, of course was its adoption,nurturing,training and massive funding of a valiant defender of the Afghani people against Moscow's attempt to maintain the puppet government it had installed in Kabul. The U.S. provided money and training and ground to air missiles to the Taliban who were successful in concert with the CIA's main man in Kabul - Osama Bin Laden - in driving the Soviets out of Afghanistan - Thereby ensuring local democratic rule and harmony throughout the world. Mark Twain said he would vote in favour of war anytime the politicians and the generals promoting war were required to be on the front lines - I think he had a point.

Audio Flynn Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Politicians are elitists who think they are smarter than the common man. They are the ones that get us in trouble. Statesman like McCain and Truman are large in their contribution because they accel at being commmmon men. We are now quite rooted in "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" debacles of old which spawn new ones. Iran, Cuba and on and on. Our buddie Mussaref in Pakistan with his own A bomb is the newest friendly military dictator on the side of the U.S. Not expecting a constitutional congress in Pakistan in the forseeable future. And the Saudis... Donate to the 9-11 cause while inferring we brought it on ourselves. Let em pound sand!

forresthump2 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Funny how you can spot the true Liberals by their Unbalanced Blame America Mentality. You see all the Bad about America and little or none Good. Same with Corporations that Employ them, Pay taxes, Give to their Communities, and make Money for Shareholder when over 50% own them in one way or other Such as though Mutual Funds in a 401K plan. Canada is A Socialist Country and A Breeding gound for Brothern of the American Liberal. Colon said he was Canadian and Now American. Likes our System so Much he Moved here to Change What Works. LOL Lynn last post is Just Sad. Nothing There about the Good America has done for the World. Only the bad and "Entaglements" we have had casting his Jaundiced eyes. Like WWII LynnM? How about that Entaglement? Truth is if it Were not for America you'd be wearing a Polka Dress and screaming HEIL as you get it up the rear from a Nazi.

sj993 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Canada is not a socalist country. No doubt there are some social indications because of the close ties to Britain but it is not socialist. There are good and bad to both sides of every economic system. But I agree, capitalism does work best but there are flaws in it just like there are always flaws in everything. I don't disagree with everything that you said but I don't agree with all of it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Flynn Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 "Canada is not a socalist country. No doubt there are some social indications because of the close ties to Britain but it is not socialist." I am not totally clear on Canada but the colony of the UK thing may still exist. Medical, gun control, and tax systems are certainly not indicative of a free society in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Quite possibly and had that come to pass I have a strong suspicion who the Nazi would be! Speaking of pathetic......Your conviction that any criticism of America on my or anybody's part constitutes a wholesale rejection of your country illuminates your paranoia , gullibility and stupidity more eloquently than anything I could say.

sj993 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Like I said there are pro's and cons to the system. For example: The healthcare system in Canada is in essence free. Everyone has the same healthcare. The cost of that is getting in to see a doctor takes signifcantly longer than it would here in the U.S. Gun control is very strict there and it does work. You can get a gun but you have to have a license and whatnot. I guess you could say it is a mix of capitalism and some socialism. Canada is still a colony of Britain as far as I know, but it isn't anything more than "offical." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: Healthcare: Typically if I call my doctor and state that I need a checkup I get an appointment within the week and typically within a couple of days. If I call and state that I am really ill I can usually see him within hours and on more than one occasion My doctor has come to my home rather than require me to go to his office as he felt that I was too ill to make the trip. I don't know how that compares to the level of service in the U.S. but it is adequate to my needs. Re: Colonial status : Canada is governed on the parliamentary system. The Federal Government is controlled by whichever party has the most seats in the Commons,(analagous to the U.S. Congress), The Prime Minister is the leader of the party in power and unlike the President of the U.S. is not directly elected to that position - although he or she must win election as a Member of Parliament in their own riding,(aka District). The upper house or Senate is an appointed body unlike your Senate in the U.S. and while it has a certain amount of power is not nearly as powerful in our system as the Senate is in the US Presidential system of government. The queen of England is the titular head of state of Canada and has absolutely no authourity to intervene in Canadian lawmaking. Contrary to what many believe no tax monies are remitted to England from Canada and England does not provide any funds for the running of this country. Canada ceased to be a colony of Great Britain in 1867 but vestiges of British colonial rule existed until 1911. Canada but has maintained customary and social links with Britain and most of the former colonies of Great Britain under the umbrella of an informal association referred to as the British Commonwealth. To the best of my knowledge Great Britain has no remaining colonies and no protectorates anywhere in the world. Canada has never had colonies and hopefully never would aspire to. Questions of fairness and equity aside - Colonies are too damned expensive to maintain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj993 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 thanks for clarifying that for me lynnm! Well the healthcare system is good, but there are those who do have to wait, not necessarily for regualar doctor's visits, but for more specialized procedures like MRI's and such. I say that because that's the situation my dad's was in for month's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forresthump2 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Socialist Jerk you should learn more about your Own country before you Go condemning others. Like I say Canada is a Socialistic Country. They hide behind Free Market Capitalism like the Liberals do in America. The Hippy Anti-War at all Costs Mentality goes right along with it. Canada is more like Sweden than the US and the SocialistDem Liberals want the US to be more like Canada. But look at the Results of the Economy Here being More UNLIKE Canada. Thats the Facts Jacks. The American System ain't Perfect, but none ever will be. If it ain't broke why do they want to change it. Its because the Liberals want more Control over Individual Rights and Freedoms, make People more Dependent on BIG GOV, and they get more and more Power. Watch the Liberal rants and learn. Watch how they Keep injecting their propaganda on An Audio Forum. Sometimes deviously Subtle so watch close. Its a Disease intensified by Sour grapes as they lose more and more Control. Adios Comrades. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL ---------------- "Socialist Jerk you should learn more about your Own country before you Go condemning others" FH I doubt that you could find your *** without a copy of Gray's Anatomy and both hands let alone the capitol of any country other than the US. As far as anyplace outside of the United States I doubt that you could locate any major city on a map - ( or within the US for that matter). WTO statistics show that the Canadian economy has out performed the US economy for the past 2 years (not that the Canadian economy has been anything to write home about in that time either). I am not going to be so much of an *** kisser as to present a list of what is good about America and Americans as a group. Like most Canadians I feel there is much that is good about the US. That said I see no reason to ignore the faults of the one country that has the capability of irreparably damaging the world that I and all people live in. As to your Adios Comrade comment: Your departure would go unmourned by very nearly everyone on this forum. Please dear boy Do Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
