You Canucks can determine by ones posts if one is drunk or not? Best get a patent on that whiz bang technology! |

If you re-read it, you will see that I made a simple, provably correct, declarative sentence that said that you did not cite any shortwave source. I also did acknowledge that you did cite Reuters as your source (even if inadvertently when you did a mindless cut-and paste job), so I certainly did not claim that you "had to cite a source".

There is not a day goes by that my Canadian colleagues take shots at the US. To date, without provocation. This is the appeasement mentality that has infected so many in the US WRT Al Quaeda: Stop offending them and they'll be out buddies. Also very much not true. Al Quaeda is not responding to our attacks, language, or posturing....they're offended by our very existence. Ceasing military action against Al Quaeda, it's agents and assigns, will not stop Al Quaeda from planning and attempting to execute terrorism on US soil, it will embolden them to escalate. We know this by their very words. As promised by Al Quaeda upper echelons. They will only be satisfied by our cessation of existence. Nothing less. This is not to compare Canadians with Al Quaeda. That would be absurd. Canadians are simply not committed enough to anything to take a conflict beyond nasty language. But the appeasement mentality is very similar in both cases. Attempting to alter behaviour outside their control with implications that aggressors/critics will back off if we become what they suggest. Nice thought, but tragically ill informed. And weak beyond the will to survive. Appeasement only emboldens the critics. Appeasement only emboldens the aggressors. The only way to deal with them is to let the critics pound sand. They'll be critical whether we respond to them or not. It is the nature of criticism that the critic fires the first salvo. And then implores the criticized to stop criticizing the critics to make them stop. Check the history of the group. The Canadians started their criticism, ragging, and dismissive noise before anyone on this side of the border ever said anything about them. Even DXAce hadn't made a comment about Cana-DUH until several anti-US threads had developed. And the only way to deal with the aggressors is to let them, their agents and assigns, die for their country. Because, they, too, fired the first salvoes. And then implored us to stop responding. And in that conflict, words and appeasement are tools of surrender, and demise. But if you continue, you will be subjected to painful home truths For example: Fact #1... the US national debt is currently $8,819,577,906,180. That's 8 trillion dollars.

I work directly with two Canadian firms which took their stuggling business across the border into the US where they flourished. Count the number of Canadian firms which have moved branches, or their entirety, to the US for their success. If you really understood economics, you'd shut your pie hole.

Canadians are currently fighting in Afghanistan and were very active in Korea and WW II. They did not fight in Iraq because the US invaded in defiance of the UN. The Afghanistan war is sanctioned by the UN. UN approval of warfare is as absurd as the Saskatchewan Navy. That the UN sanctioned Afghanistan and not Iraq is laughable. Especially in light of the number of UN resolutions defied by Iraq, and the direct call for military action in response to non compliance within them. And don't get too high about Canadian commitment. Comments by your PM, and parliamentary candidates have been far less than supportive in either theatre. But where the heavy lifting is to be done, is not where Canadian troops are to be found. And be sure to let me know when you come up with a single example where Canadian troops led the fight, instead of following the path blazed by US Marines. Check the history of the group. The Canadians started their criticism, ragging, and dismissive noise before anyone on this side of the border ever said anything about them. Even DXAce hadn't made a comment about Cana-DUH until several anti-US threads had developed. I seem to have come along in the middle of this broughaha and don't know the origins. That's the trouble with these vendettas. They develop a life of their own. Rather like the Iraq war (Mission Accomplished) which is not going as planned. Typical high horse crack of someone who doesn't have the stomach for taking the fight to the enemy. No war in the history of mankind, or the knuckledraggers that preceded him has gone according to plan. To expect anything like it is to live in a fantasy of media haze, where no problem can't be solved in an hour, with 6 commercial breaks, and blood comes out of a bottle from the props department. Hard reality: War is messy. And it's ugly. And it's hell on earth. But as undesireable as it may be, sometimes it is necessary. And in the case of an enemy that will be satisfied only with American deaths, anything less than lethal response will not be respected. Anyone that doesn't like it can do without our commerce, and our aid. If you really understood economics, you'd shut your pie hole. I may not be an Alan Greenspan, or better a Kenneth Galbraith, but some facts about the US economy are worrisome. Some facts from the pie hole: 1. The US national debt is clse to 8 trillion dollars and rising rapidly. 2. The foreign trade deficit is about 800 billion dollars this year. 3. The manufacturing base of the US has been sent to China 4. The savings rate is negative for the first time in 70 years. 5. The value of the US dollar has dropped from $1.35 to the Euro to 0.81 . Gold is similar. 6. There has been no provision for future Social Security and Medicare 7. Wages have been stagnant or declining since 1975. 8. The official inflation rate is a lie. True inflation is about 8% 9. China holds about 1 trillion dollars in US debt. That is just a few items off the top of my head. Do you disagree with any of them? Not a one. But the facts are not within context. In a global economy, trade deficits do not exist. US has a deficit in context of the US only. Globally, we import, someone exports one commodity imports another from a third party. The third party exports and imports from fourth and fifth parties. Each nation has their own trade deficits and surplusses. Money changes hands all the way around. Globally, the trade balance is zero. In which case, the real money to be made is by the nation that conducts the most volume. That's the US. Closely followed by Japan, and soon China. China's percentage of US debt is offset by China's own debts globally, much of which comes around to surplusses held by the US from other countries doing business with China. If each nation's trade was in balance, the global economy would be static. In that, there is no growth. For there to be growth in an economy, there has to be some debt, some imbalance to be filled. As each nation's economy ebbs and flows economic opportunities are formed. Here's where Capitalism has the advantage. Capitalism permits individuals, or individual companies to seize opportunities, fill needs and move with the economic ebb and flow. This generates wealth, which generates further economic opportunity. If not stifled by extreme income redistribution, the result is general economic boom. Regarding the manufacturing base....some manufacturing jobs have been sent to China, true. Quite a number, actually. Then, again, look at the number of high wage, high skill manufacturing jobs moving INTO the US from other nations. Germany is building more cars here than in Germany, now. Japan is investing trillions in manufacturing in the US. Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Mazda, to name but 5 Japanese firms, have built plants in the US for manufacture here, and are building more. Hyundai is building not one, but two major plants in the US. Mercedes is building a second plant in the US as is BMW. With those jobs come construction and engineering jobs, manufacturing machine tool building jobs. Ancillary parts manufacturing jobs. Accessory manufacturing jobs. As well as boutique manufacturing jobs, like the building of aftermarket iPod interfaces for factory sound systems by Peripheral and a half dozen more companies cashing in on the iPod/vehicle phenomenon. With those jobs come manufacturing jobs in other countries providing parts and supplies, as well as consuming products for inclusion in their own market places. Looking at the jobs exiting the US to China, but not the number of jobs moving to, and through other countries, including the US is disingenuous at best. Misleading, and dishonest at worst. Again, typical of the man on the high horse. There never was a provision for Social Security or Medicare. By design of Roosevelt himself, they were to be temporary solutions to a Depresssion Era economy during war time. NOT long term solutions. Far, Far better solutions are to be found in the private sector than those provided by the Goverment. Savings are, indeed, in the negative for the first time in history. This owing to more active income provision for retirement. Investments are replacing savings. By the recommendations of money managers, and financial analysts themselves, who have been pointing out for decades that 9% in the market will double your money in 10 years. While 3% in savings will not. Most households own stocks, now, rather than savings. Again, looking at the individual line item, rather than the full statement, tells only a fraction of the story. . I have ignored your geopolitical comments as they are not germane to our discussion. Uh huh....of course. The debate is over. And the science is settled,eh? Again, typical of the man on the high horse...where defense is not possible, declare discussion at an end. Must be related to AlGore. |

How come there are so many Canadians in your work group? What kind of shots do they take? ..................................... This is not to compare Canadians with Al Quaeda. That would be absurd. Canadians are simply not committed enough to anything to take a conflict beyond nasty language. This is an absurd statement. Canadians are currently fighting in Afghanistan and were very active in Korea and WW II. They did not fight in Iraq because the US invaded in defiance of the UN. The Afghanistan war is sanctioned by the UN. Check the history of the group. The Canadians started their criticism, ragging, and dismissive noise before anyone on this side of the border ever said anything about them. Even DXAce hadn't made a comment about Cana-DUH until several anti-US threads had developed. I seem to have come along in the middle of this broughaha and don't know the origins. That's the trouble with these vendettas. They develop a life of their own. Rather like the Iraq war (Mission Accomplished) which is not going as planned. If you really understood economics, you'd shut your pie hole. I may not be an Alan Greenspan, or better a Kenneth Galbraith, but some facts about the US economy are worrisome. Some facts from the pie hole: 1. The US national debt is clse to 8 trillion dollars and rising rapidly. 2. The foreign trade deficit is about 800 billion dollars this year. 3. The manufacturing base of the US has been sent to China 4. The savings rate is negative for the first time in 70 years. 5. The value of the US dollar has dropped from $1.35 to the Euro to 0.81 . Gold is similar. 6. There has been no provision for future Social Security and Medicare 7. Wages have been stagnant or declining since 1975. 8. The official inflation rate is a lie. True inflation is about 8% 9. China holds about 1 trillion dollars in US debt. That is just a few items off the top of my head. Do you disagree with any of them? Interesting (and to the best of my knowledge) all true statements. If you are expecting any kind of *factual* rebuttal from the name-callers however, please don't hold your breath--unless you want to suffocate. |

He had to bodily remove her from the hamfest site and came back to apologize. Cato replys: As a Canadian, I am sorry that you had such a bad experience with one of my fellow citizens. For what it is worth, I'm sorry that that incident took place. In all my times and travels in your country, I like to think that I behaved myself in a civilized fashion.( Except for a couple of times I might have got drunk camping out down in the Florida Keys with some friends. But at least we had a good time, and everyone was happy, and no ones feelings got hurt. They were good times.):-) As for the insult about the twin towers, it shows the ignorence of my fellow Canadians that the Americans and citizens of other countries that died that day were all innoccent people just going to work. Canadian citizens that worked there also died that day. A temencous number of children lost their mothers and fathers on that black day. On that day, when my wife woke me up to tell me to watch what was happening on TV, she was in tears, and I was in a state of unbelieving shock at the horror on the screen. Not all Canadians are stupid and ignorant. I think what you will find is that, primarily, it is Canadian Liberals & Socialists, (supporters of our N.D.P. party) who are critical of the U.S to the point of idiotic hatred. And I think a lot of it is envy at the success of the U.S., and their saddness at the failure of socialism around the world. Not all Canadians are liberal or socialist statists, that believe that government is the solution. There are many of us that believe that government is the problem. My only hope is that most Americans do not forget the principles on which their country was founded. Because I see your freedoms very slowly slipping away like ours has been doing. For at least fifty years now. Your country, with all your successes, and your failures, is still the beacon of hope in freedom for oppressed people around the world. But you must all be on your guard. There are many that want to bring you down. And not just from outside the U.S., But as you know, also from within. By U.S. citizens that hate the freedoms embodied in the Declaration and Constitution. Why would so many people try to get into the States to stay? Either legally, and waiting their turn, or illegally, and hoping not to get caught. It is because living in America is better then where they came from. Ya, a lot of people around the world put the United States down. And ya, sometimes the U.S. goofs up on something, or elects a goofy president. Well hell, I can think of a number of times that we Canadians elected goofy Prime Ministers too! We all goof up now and then if we look at ourselves honestly. Nobody, and no country is perfect. Their ain't no such animal. But all in all, the U.S. has stood for the good and right over the years, and anytime that some nation or people anywhere around the world has had a disaster, the U.S. has been there with the most help, and the quickest. The American people generously reach into their pockets to help those in need around the world without asking for thanks. I'm not sure that any other country or people is as generous. Who else has ever done so much to help their fomer enemies? Re- building Germany, Italy and Japan after WW II. Rebuilding Europe. How much did the Soviet Union help the people of Eastern Germany and Eastern Europe? Ya, I happen to like the U.S., and the people of the U.S. even if I sometimes don't like a particular President. Yep, there are some Americans who are stupid jerks. And there are Canadians who are stupid jerks, and British, German, Korean etc. Stupidity and ignorence know no boundaries or nationality. They are everywhere. I am a Canadian who is damn glad to have the United States as neighbors. And I am really proud to call the Americans that I know, "my good friends." Cato |

[...] While your sentiments are appreciated, they somewhat miss the point. The point is that for some reason some Canadians feel the need to constantly make negative comments about the U.S. I'm not talking about just mouth-breathers like mII here but about very intelligent, well-travelled people, who feel it is normal to come to the U.S. and make derogatory comments. To me it is the equivalent of going to dinner at a friend's house and then spending time there making fun of his wife's ass. It just isn't how you behave as a guest! Canada and the U.S. are different. A citizen from one, living in the other, is bound to get some cultural surprises now and then. But it's hardly the sort of thing that should generate the venom that it does. Gawd knows that we in the U.S. have our problems. But, by and large, we try to address them. Unfortunately, those who *don't* try to address them tend to be the loudest and most ignorant of the bunch. Fortunately, they're usually quiet unless you poke them with a stick. The Canadian counterparts, by contrast, like being loud, ignorant, and enjoy poking at people with a stick. I, personally, am sick and tired of being poked with a stick!

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """"""" I have been away from the web for a few days entertaining some friends from Wisconsin, and am surprised to see that this thread is still going on, eclipsing anything to do with shortwave. There were no arguments over politics or religion with our guests and we had a good visit as usual. I did have the thought, however, that no nation on the planet is more competent to criticize the US than is Canada. Canadians visit regularly, have friends and relations in the US, are quite familiar with US affairs, but most importantly, Canadians are not imprisoned in the US mind-meld and can see things free of jingoistic cant. On the average, Canadians know far more about the US than Americans know about Canada. I have previously posted surveys that show that Canadians are increasing their dislike of the US, do not want to join the US, and are starting to dislike Americans because of their adherance to the principles listed by RHF. I don't see any envy of the US at all and if the big boys try to sneak the North American Union into being, there will be much resistance. Of course there are many Americans who share Canadian views on the Iraq war, the national debt, trade imbalance, shredding of the Constitution, demise of the middle class, and the loss of Habeas Corpus, but their views have a hard time making it to the mass media. If there is one national weakness, it is the desire of Americans to be liked in foreign lands, and when they are not, they are hurt and confused. Canadians don't care if they are liked or not, neither do the British or Germans. The French would rather not be liked and go out of their way to make it happen, rather like DxEcch. I have seen unscupulous foreigners cleverly take advantage of this desire to be liked. |
