Just as it is none of your business who we elect. If you want it to be your business, apply for US citizenship.

I certainly agree with that.

I've been reading his posts, he's another one of these Michael Moore spouting dipshits. I saw him post the same tired "Bush lied to us" in one of his posts, after that, i knew he was little more than the latest dumbass to come through WABs revolving leftist door.

He also has some cleverly worded yet highly offensive insults embedded in most of his posts, such as this one, for example:

IOW, we as Americans have no real choice, our electoral system is a joke, and it's probably fixed anyway.

Thems fighting words- ESPECIALLY coming from a stinkin' subject.

Regardless, i've seen hundreds of them come and go since i helped Gio and Ironman to form this board, so i do not hold my fire anymore when i see one. Might as well get it over with.

Yep, the defense against political corruption should've been plain to see all along. Certainly Glib the all-knowing has always known that the defense against millionaires evil mind control powers is the simple tinfoil beanie.

If only he'd told us sooner...we could have publically educated middle class soccer hooligans and football fans running all our nations affairs instead of highly educated, highly succesful entrepeneurs, businessmen, and senior officers...

PS: What do you have against black text? Is all this metrosexual rainbow text just a clever ploy to conceal deepseated latent racism or something?

In short, YOU bring it out in me.


Au contraire my assclowning friend, my 20/10 sight is better than perfect.


Sure looks like purple to me.

Example:


Since when is indigo blue?

LOL...purple typing pusssy.


Then leave.


Do you think i care?

Here's some advice dipshiit, do not draw down on people you don't know when you're the new guy. All that's liable to do is get you banned for being a loudmouth know-nothing who is too lazy to make an attempt to figure out who he's talking to to begin with. When i disagreed with you it was YOU that started tossing thinly vieled insults, it was you that has an obvious superiority complex, and a highly annoying tone of condescendence.

I don't care if you're Rays friend or not, keep running your mouth, and you'll be running it elsewhere.

Now, 'sir', kindly, eat broken glass and die.

Oops, should have stayed out, my bad. I'll get out of the crossfire now.

If it effects you it is your business, it's the world no just Canada or just the US. It looks like you have an isolationist attitude in that which I can understand but I think it's time to move on from there.

We call you dumb you call us dumb, it's some friendly North American rivalry which will end when we don't lose to you in hockey ever again. If we truely thought you where all stupid we'd stop buying all that crap you keep sending us like Ford for example oh and Krispy Kreme.

You must have seen Rick Mercers talking to Americans. He got some University Profs to sign a petition to stop the Canadian Government from the horrible practice of putting old people on ice flows and letting them drift out to sea when they get too old. Just for the record, we bash the bejesus out of our own people and polititions more than you do to your own so mostly we make fun of everyone ya dumb Yank. ;p jk

I'm a very proud stinkin subject thanks, OoE has sworn an oath to the Queen so have I and many other Commonwealth citizens and we like it thanks. To some of us those are also fighting words so I ask you to be careful with that paintbrush you've got is please.

Fair enough, just use a fine tipped marker instead.


On a last note, how can all conspiricy theories be wrong? Some of the less idiotic ones are at least worth a few debates.

My only real Michael Moore question is the Pentagon one, where is the wreckage? As for the towers coming down due to explosives. The only way I can see that realistically happening is if when the towers where built they rigged them to go then. Seriously someone would notice the holes being drilled and all the other work involved in preping a building to come down, what a load of ****.

I'm in a gaming clan and got in a heated exchange with another dude over it. What about all that dust he says? Concrete doesn't do that so I told him to go buy a sledge hammer and smash some concete and watch it powder up real nice. I did demolition for awhile and I know how little concrete gets, god I hate that ****.

Yep he is an opinionated bastard but he does know what he's talking about quite a bit even if his views can be way out there.

I'm pretty moderate but don't ask me how to cure world hunger. It's not nice and coincidently it will cure a lot of Aids too.

I'm sorry, i do not subscribe to the one world view.

Your gov't is your business, my gov't is mine. Quite frankly, i don't want Canadians to have any input in who runs my gov't....they're Canadians.

Only Americans get to pick American gov'ts.

Just the way i like it.

They found tons of wreckage(including an entire jet engine) in the Pentagon.

Pop Mechanics just put out a book debunking all the 911 conspiricy theories. Probably be a good read for anyone with questions.

Bill, I'm afraid that's not quite entirely true. Lobby Groups on both sides of the border spend $millions trying to influence votes on both sides of the border. I even remember the French launched the ABC (Anybody But Carter) Campaign.

Quite true Sir, and probably a big part of the reason that lobbyists are so detested...unless it's your case they're lobbying- and then you love them.

LOL.

What you are talking about is certainly epitomized by the Jewish lobby in the US. A mega-powerhouse that is hated everywhere but in the US it seems. LOL.

I hope it stays that way too but I still feel the world is my business and I will have my say as others will. It's what I do with it that matters.

Can you post some links so I can tell my girlfriend to shut up already? I only saw some pictures that didn't add up and it was in some show by a bigger crack pot than Moore.

Here is a HIGHLY detailed analysis:

That round wheeled hub, my friend, is one of the twelve compressor wheels from a Rolls Royce RB211-535E4B...the exact engines fitted on the 767 in question.
