That's

As someone who works with Canadians every day, this statement is
simply not true.

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.

Interesting you should bring that up. 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.

And go back to enjoying the beneficence with which your economy
exists hand-in-glove with ours.

I am and always have been mostly a happy go lucky sort of a dude.I am
not knocking Canada and Canadians per se.I have some good Canadian
Friends who live in Canada.
Sure is fun to pick on some Canadians though,that's for sure :{)

Interesting. Are you working in Canada or the US? How come there are

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.

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?
..
I have ignored your geopolitical comments as they are not germane to
our discussion.

I can't and won't speak for Peter, but I can speak for myself. I live
on the Front Range of Colorado. I was working a table at a hamfest
when a couple came up to me, he with a Canadian accent. It turns out
he was stationed at Cheyenne Mountain -- a joint US/Canadian command
-- and was also an active radio enthusiast.

I asked him how he was finding his experience in America to be, and
his wife just *exploded* on me about how stupid Americans are and a
stream of vile insults. He had to bodily remove her from the hamfest
site and came back to apologize.

I don't know what awful experience she had that set her off -- if any
-- but my experience with her sure left an impression on *me*.

....of course, there are the internet-tough-guys here as well --
mII/Michael Moore is mild. The worst was a guy known only as "Jim"
who I dubbed "Psycho Jim," who spent all his time here exulting about
how "Yanks" died in the Twin Towers and swearing like a Tourette's
patient.

....as for you, well, if you want to come here or are here, welcome!
Please do remember that you are a guest and act accordingly -- I do
the same when I'm in your fine country, and am as embarrassed by the
"Ugly Americans" as you should be by the "insecure Canadians" who spew
here.

Eric,
Thanks for your thoughtful comments. My only question for you is are the
Canadians "insecure and spewing" or just telling what *they* perceive as
(unpleasant) truths that *we* may not enjoy hearing???
