sorry rip :cookie:

You mean my assumption that pot smoking makes you mellow?

It certainly isn't having that effect on AnitaPeterson.
Not everyone in canada smokes.
Anita's underlying principles arent all that out there. Her presentation was a little confrontational, but not something to endorse the use of pot or toss out a dumb stereotype.

So what are you up to these days? Pardon if I have the wrong impressions, but you are in your mid-twenties and still in TO, are you not? Why are you still here?

and just FMI, where are you planning to go?
 
I like to visit Ontario, but if I'm not welcome I'll take my vacation dollars elsewhere.

Canadians need us more than we need them.
 
You are an idiot. No, really... your nick rings true for a pitiful loser trolling internet forums.

I am so hurt and heartbroken! Oh, how I wish that a vile bigot would not call me a 'pitiful loser'!

Canada is anything but insignificant, from any global perspective. And "live and let live" is still a better policy than "Who's not with us is against us".

Canada is insignificant. It has almost no cultural, political, or economic global might, especially when compared to the US or other world powers.

I think that 'God Bless the Queen' isn't that great of a policy. Pretty soon I guess it'll be 'God Bless King Charles the Moron' and then God Bless Another Inbred Child Nazi as another possibility.

You busted in another thread a few days ago and, completely unprovoked, insulted Canada and Canadians. Where was the criticism? You were just throwing sh!t at us, nothing else. Nobody here is flag-waving at you, I've never seen Canadians as hooked on the maple leaf as you are at your stars and stripes.

There is an entire Canadian Mafia on this board that cannot tolerate criticism of Canada. You are quite welcome to comment on the United States. I honestly don't care, especially since I criticize it myself. You do as well. However, once someone else comments on Canada, you become ballistic. The flag is clearly preventing the blood from flowing to your diminutive brain.

Why yes, be proud of aligning yourself with the likes of Stalin and Pol Pot, since they harboured similar highly advanced ideas. It doesn't matter that your country, a "shining beacon of freedom and democracy" (and just about to throw evolution out of schools) has more inbreeding than all trhe world's current royal families taken together (including the Saudis, your good friends). And my, what ignorance! I mention monarchy, you think of Price Charles... perhaps you have some deeper trouble that prevents you from thinking about Juan Carlos, Sylvia, Beatrix, Juliana, Michael and others whom you'll probably have to google to figure out what the hell I'm talking about. These royals did more for their countries and the world than you'll ever do - but, hey, what do they know, the inbred morons?

Why yes, be proud of aligning yourself with the likes of people like Hitler, since they harbor similar highly cruel and barbaric ideas about celebrating bloodlines. Most of the world is not part of your much celebrated and discriminatory bloodlines and most of the world does not celebrate your barbaric beliefs. It's nice that you can pick out a few people, when the simple fact is that there are quite a few horrible ones that I suppose you would prefer to forget.

I feel I need to wash my hands after dealing with you and your aggressive stupidity. As of this moment I'll do with you what I did once before with someone else. I'll consider you dead, and will completely ignore your posts like the non-person you are. Rest in peace, or whatever...

Oh my, whatever did I do to deserve such a great wish?! Yes, please don't respond to my posts with your bigotry and drivel.

How can I ever sleep at night knowing that the great AnitaPeterson will no longer respond to my posts?

Seriously, aren't the US and Canada the biggest trading partners in the world? It's in both countries best interest to maintain a good relationship.

Americans generally like Canadians. Of course, most Americans don't even know where Canada is. 😀

Yes, I believe it is in fact the largest trading relationship in the world. Though certain products traded from Columbia to Miami might be close😛

you are not serious are you? Canada has done plenty for us and plenty for the world.
This kind of talk makes me ashamed our neighbor has to share a border with us.
btw canada = resulting US ownage last time people carried through with that thinking and underestimating our neighbor.

Keep up with the USA superiority complex and I am sure plenty in this country would be glad to see bush's hillbilly mansion get another coat of white paint 😉

Canadians had nothing to do with the burning of the White House in the War of 1812. That was the British.

The United States today could probably conquer Canada within a day or two.

I'd have to harken back to WWII, but quite a lot. For example, of the five beaches stormed at Normandy, two were the responsibility of you Yankees. Two to the British. And one to Canadians. We have a proud fighting history and tradition.

hahah just like they conquered iraq.....yeah right....they invade and push far into their land............then what? pro-military sorts NEVER learns it seems.
modern warfare is not a video game where you push your tanks in then you win and can go on to the next scenerio.

I don't think the Canadian population would put up much of a resistance, especially when compared to Iraq. Besides, Iraq and its government was effectively conquered rather quickly. I think you would expect some fringe groups to still exist. It's not really that big of a deal. In the history of warfare, we didn't really lose that many troops in conquering an entire country. Canada would be much easier simply because it's right next to the US.

I suppose some people would take the statement that Canada would fall easily to the US as some sort of insult, but I guess some people are offended very easily.
 
just like bush thought iraqis would give us their hearts and minds.........suuuuuuuuuure keep living the "dream"

So, curious from some canadians here, would you bow to bush if he invaded or would you resist for canada?
hell, I live in america and bush would be resisted HERE (if he had the balls to visit SF)


BTW to blow away your dream that being next to a country would change the peoples yearning for independence and freedom see afgani war of 79-89

No, not really. Nobody is saying that they're going to love it at first or at all. However, the invasion of Canada would be very easy, IMO. The toppling of their government and military would be fairly quick and the country would effectively be under control of the US military.

hell, I live in america and bush would be resisted HERE (if he had the balls to visit SF)

Sure, as if you had the balls to resist him. You must have a huge ego.
 
bush is resisted all over here, hell I can't even find a telephone pole around here without a fvck bush type comment on it.

toppling the government does NOTHING in the face of a determinded people to be independent.
All the military hardware in the world will never stop the will of the people, and never has throughout history.

You have fallen to the massive Canadian propaganda-industrial complex machine. No Canadian burned down the White House. British veterans of the Peninsular campaign were specifically brought in to burn down Washington in retaliation for the Americans burning down York/Toronto. I believe that there were some units from the Caribbean there, too.

Whatcha gonna do, pelt him with Greenpeace stickers? It's hard for the anti-gun crowd to project any sense of menace. You know, to hear the Left hyperventilate on a daily basis about how bad Bush is (war criminal, terrorist, Hitler-incarnate), it's a wonder none of them have tried to take him out. Seems like if you believed he was responsible for the death of thousands, you'd do something more than spout off about it.

And didn't you announce you were leaving or something?

That's not much of a resistance when in the context of resisting an invasion force. If you're trying to say that Canadians will peacefully hold up signs saying 'Please don't invade us, kind sirs!' then that's fine.

toppling the government does NOTHING in the face of a determinded people to be independent.
All the military hardware in the world will never stop the will of the people, and never has throughout history.

That's nice, but it still results in the defeat and annhilation of the government and military. There have always been resistances in any invasion - and the invasion of Canada would be quick and easy, IMO.

 
I think you missed the "resulting" part.
I am not a idiot I know it was british forces looking out for Canada as I would expect the free nations of the world to resist us if we try it again.(espically one of our peaceful neighbors)
Matter of fact that may be the only way to get rid of the neocons someday...WERE the ones begging for a invasion if we keep the warmongering up.
with our troops in iraq, cut off the majority of the oil and recruit freedom fighters from the disenfranchised and unrepresented half of americans to "liberate" THIS country from it's "repressive rouge regime"... 😉
I keep hearing more and more about this but as usual the UN would pussyfoot around I would expect.

Before bush goes nuts and actualyl invaded a neighbor I would be long gone to a friendlier freer country though.

Obviously you do not. You're just another victim of the Canadian propaganda machine. You're not the first one on this forum to be shown the truth.

It was not British forces looking out for Canada. The British were a genocidal regime who carried out the genocide of hundreds of millions all over the world. They were just looking out for their own interests of making money to kill undesirables elsewhere.
 
ah they were just there for the scenery then ..ok 😉
funny you mention genocide since the brits were fighting the country that was undertaking the biggest genocide in history EVER at the time.

For your sake I hope "pulling a skoorb" doesn't mean Birmingham, Alabama. As far as I am concerned, the Valley is the only place in the US woth going to.

Why is Silicon Valley the only place worth going to? What about Boston, NYC, DC Area, San Diego, etc?

In comparison, is there any place in Canada even worth going to? I don't really think it would be so.
