] Date Posted: 02:33:21 11/23/04 Tue In reply to: Mister Non-Canuck 's message, "Canada's contribution to the world" on 19:53:38 11/20/04 Sat Yes yes, we're that kid in class you love to despise. But hey, we've always been hated, or looked at as evil, greedy, basterds. Now people, countries just seem to express it more than ever, since it seems to be the popular thing to do. It seems that a lot of the time though, with international affairs, you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 03:54:51 11/23/04 Tue You are not alone here, Kevin. Quite a few Americans are interested in this Society. I am going through the new registrations and there are number from the US. There are also more Canadians and lots more Brits. I will update everyone tomorrow. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 10:28:29 11/23/04 Tue Until the twentieth century, it was Britain which the Europeans et al loved to hate. Picasso used to do satirical doodles in his notebooks which were basically grotesque characatures of British politicians, soldiers etc. THe point is that people always hate the guy at the top. France in the 17th Century, Britain in the 18th and 19th, America today - it is hatred born of envy and frustration. Don't take it too seriously. But you're right about being damned if you do and if you don't... Traditionally, te beatniks in Portland used to protest at the US's policy of proping up brutal dictatorships in Latin America and elsewhere because it suited American interests; now they are protesting at the US's policy of removing brutal dictatorships on the grounds that it is none of America's business to intervene! There's no pleasing some people. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:26:55 11/24/04 Wed If you were offended by my remarks, I am truly sorry. It must be admitted, though, that while everyone here is genuinely supportive of one another, it should not be expected that anyone should openly accept the kind of slagging that Mr. Non-Canuck engaged in. It wasn't so much an anti-American tirade, as it was "I'm not going to sit idly by while my country is denigrated." It would be best if we all engaged in a level of civility, and for my failing, I apologize... [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
