    Maximilien wrote: Why does all things have to go down to israel, jew, arabs, palestinian ... why does the fact that some canadians are anti-american has to do with the situation in Israel/Palestine ? Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. They kill innocent people! Do the Canadian people condone such acts? Frankly, if I met a Canadian, I wouldn't care less where they are from. I think most Americans don't mind people from other countries as long as they are friendly and don't hate us. What did we do to the Canadians that are anti-American anyway? Make you rich because you are one of our largest trading partners? Is that what makes you mad at us?

    Could you please define what a "terrorist organization" is ? (Don't worry, I don't try to defend Hezbollah, but this term is used so much than it doesn't have for me any signification anymore)

      I should have write "anti-america" ( without the 'n' ) I see my position against the political country, not the people ... I wrote that I'm anti american because I don't agree with some of the policies they have. Bush has been the president for 2 years now, and as much as I don't like him, I would'nt want to be in his shoes, It would have been hard for any president of any party to be in this situation. I don't like W. Bush, I think he a pale reflection of his father, I didn't like him either, but was too young at the time to be able to judge and understand. I think he is a moron, and this is only from what I see, read and listen on the subject and in extraordinary circumstances! I wished dearly he'd failed as a president in normal circumstances! but since last year, nothing is normal ... and the fact that I'm canadian makes it easier to treat Bush a moron has nothing to do, our own prime minister, Chretien, is, also a moron ... and it's been known for sometimes now ... Also, there have been a number of incidents between Canadian and American politician over the years. I had a dream about W.Bush this summer, in that dream, I was a journalist in one of his conference, and I was asking him a question, don't remember the question, but W. just froze there, looking aournd for help, cold sweat running on his forehead, and he just left the stage, just like that without saying a word ... I don't beleive W.Bush can have a discussion with me on different subject and world events without him having counsellors telling him what to say. Max.

            :) Thanks. It's nice to be appreciated. I suppose I do find too much amusement in bashing Canadians and Europeans. But, damn its fun. Its a true challange to try makeing a Canadian angry, but I never pass up an opportunity to try. "Any clod can have the facts, but having opinions is an art." Charles McCabe, San Francisco Chronicle

              Methinks that you over evaluate your self. Of course that is a common fallicy of those who think that they have all the answers and everyone else has the questions. I'll be glad to take you on in an intellectual debate on any subject that I am conversant with - say anything from physics to music to philosophy and I am just a Texas boy like GW who did not get the education he did - I went to UCLA - he went to Yale. But I don't think I would have a big problem and there are no advisors here.

I haven't been proven wrong in regards to W. and I have been proven wrong by many people, some of them my friends and family! I have a lot of questions, and I don't have a lot of answers, danm, I'd be somewhere else than sitting in front of a computer typing MFC code if I had all the answers! I pride myself in learning as much as possible of the world around me, I think it's quality that can be either a great advantage, and sometimes be very dangerous, someone can become arrogant, and refuse other opinions! I think I'm enough open minded to accept the positions of others. Going to Yale doesn't make someone intelligent! or going to UCLA makes you stupid. On a simple educational point, any university should be equivalent, it's what you make out of it that makes a better person. W. is not a better person because he went to Yale. I don't like debates ( it's confrontational and it's not in my nature ), I can have a good conversation about a lot of things, even when I don't know much about a subject; we could talk about physic as a science in general, but I cannot talk about physic finer points; same things, you take two physicians ( not medical doctors ) one in nuclear physics, and the other one in interstallar-something physic, they can't have a discussion about the particularity of each speciality, but they can and should be able to talk about physics.

                                    I have trouble speaking in public. I get all nervous and fumble my words sometimes (like W.). Am I a moron, Max? :confused: Btw, we need a :dumb: or :moron: emoticon.

                                      Are there any countries in the world that get more flak than the US*? I hear people complain about American zealots who always defend the US, but does anyone think maybe they are motivated to defend because everyone loves to take pot-shots at their country? (And everyone loves it when they do?) * Other than France ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion

I'm sure there is hatred on both sides, but you don't hear about Israeli soldiers killing a bus load of Paletinians do you? KaЯl wrote: Throwing stones on a Merkava or a M113 isn't the best way to kill soldiers is it ? Moreover, how were killed by stones ? A young boy (named Jihad) was killed this morning because he and his group threw gas bombs at soldiers. BTW, a stone in the right place can easily kill a man. KaЯl wrote: Don't you think in some circonstances there's a right to rebellion ? Absolutely, but a rebellion against civilians is not warranted. If they want more respect from the me they should attack soldiers.

Jason Henderson wrote: Israeli soldiers killing a bus load of Paletinians do you? I'm as you (on this point :)), I strongly disapprove this kind of bombing, of course. However, as you said before, there's no palestinian army, so there can't be "traditionnal" battles, only guerilla actions, as did maquisards and partisans. However, I don't legitimate any palestinian violent actions, even against military targets, because Israel is a democracy. India has shown how to get its independance from the colonial power without a civil war. Palestine deserves Independance (without settlers sifting more and more on its territory), as Israël does.

                                          As far as I can read from your posts and discussions around here, I think not, but I might need a second opinion :) Again, it's not the container that matters, it's the content. I just read your sig. I hope I'm not going to have nightmares about you !
