US Conservatives call Canada 'Retarded'

[Vigilante]

yea were a big ****ing badass elephant.

youre one of those tools that belittle americas involvement in world war 2, just because we didnt have to burn half our country to beat the germans, or lose 20000000 troops. britain was pretty much done for had it not been for our initial support by the "hawkish doves" in our legislature at the time (ie massive aid in the form of ammunition, foodstuffs, construction material, etc), it was all the US and canada (god help us) who switched shit around for europe. russia took care of the east, and i concede that saying either the US or the USSR won alone is ridiculous. but no one likes to hear that commies won. fact is our contribution is far greater because russia fought almost exclusively on one front (the european eastern front) whereas the US fought in southern europe, the pacific, and western europe. plus were way cooler than russia.

additionally russia was only as successful as they were because of our massive assistance granted to them under the lend-lease agreement.


oh yeah, add imperial japan to that list, we pretty much reamed them.

And North Africa...but the British were there too.

Also - the Americans never controlled Europe.

We could have.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Yeah? Well I could have single-handedly won the war all by myself. I just chose not to.

"could have" doesn't mean jack.

 

[jondy]

I'm going out of my way to keep from stereotyping American thinking here; you aren't doing your country any favours

We could have.

For sure. I mean, you had nukes, right? Unilateral foreign policy second nature, I suppose? Learn how history works, drop the smart-ass attitude, get some humility and grow the **** up.

 

[ة الأسئلة الشائع]

I bet you there is going to be one or two guys in Canada that are going to get all pissed off over what a few men in our civilization said.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I'd love to have seen America's supply lines for a takeover of Europe.

 

[CptStern]

exactly.. dont they just wear flannel shirts and race polar bears on the ice-flotes? i hear most can even out-swim them...


i just had to reply to this. do you think we got that powerful by sucking the rest of the worlds collective wiener?

hell no, we beat hitler, we beat spain, we beat britain, we beat mexico, we beat the phillipines, grenada, we beat the NVA and the commies and were gonna beat the terrorists. maybe if another country did that they could be the greatest in the world too.

just quit right now ..seriously, you have no place debating politics if you can sit there and idiotically believe that terrorism can be won ...hey why dont you take your one man army and meet them tete a tate? there's plenty of terrorists waiting to prove you wrong ...oh I'm sorry I forgot you're too good to defend your country's interests

Strange that they could have taken over Europe, a population bigger than their own, while they are finding Iraq such a mammoth task, with a population of only 26 million. Or Vietnam with a population of 80 million.

I guess nuking everyone would work, but that's more genocide than takeover.

 

[Flyingdebris]

Well this article goes to show that too many in the media have no tact.

 

[el Chi]

I guess nuking everyone would work, but that's more genocide than takeover.

...and what kind of real estate is nuclear wasteland?

Oh and just for the record...
EU: 457,030,418
and in the red corner
US: 297,200,000
That's one and a half times the US population.

Stewart's appearance got him fired from CNN ..I guess they dont like his brand of hate mongering) who made the "retarded" comment on a major network seen/viewed by millions

Everybody already knows Tucker Carlson thinks Canada is retarded though. He's a pundit, this is what he does. It's not like John McCain just got on the podium and went "**** Canada"

what difference does that make? we should ignore his remarks because he's said them before?

 

[Flyingdebris]

i think the earth is retarded. I think i'll move over to the alpha centauri system. Its where all the cool people are going. See ya later, tards.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

No but it's about as headlineworthy as Bill O'Reilly lampooning the French. Everybody already knows. Also his comments were funny, anyway.

It becomes an issue when it's an elected official, who speaks for the populace, that makes statements like this towards a friendly nation. Hmm, I seem to recall Canada having that issue before, eh?

 

[Captain M4d]

I live in Maine, so I'm pretty much a Canadian, right? :dork:

"Carolyn Parrish again created controversy by referring to those supporting the North American missile defence proposal as "a coalition of the idiots", mocking the phrase "coalition of the willing" used by Bush in describing his alliance in the invasion of Iraq."

I live in a country that has been at war with all those around it one time or another in the past few hundred years, yet something like this has never happened here and probably never will. Certain Americans can't even get along with a people who's cultures mirrors their own and who speak the same language.

You do realize that in modern times, if something really went down big time, we'd help Canada and vice versa.

We have a similar relationship as Britain and France do. Although we've fought ages ago in the past, we're friends now, yet we keep the same stereotypes and bashing of each other. But we'll be there to bail each other out.

 

[K e r b e r o s]

You completely missed the point. Congratulations.

I think you completed dodged it.

 

[Captain M4d]

no, go away

C'mon! I'm even thinking about moving to Canada when I'm older!

our countries are like old friends who call each other retarded, will ocassionally punch each other in the arm, and maybe gleefully try to one-up the other by telling progressively worse and worse your-momma jokes about each other, then laugh about it.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I dodged my own point? That would be novel. Either explain yourself, or stop posting rubbish.
