Continued imperialistic foreign policy.
How'd that work out for America? Truth is, the hippy movement was about being selfish, hypocritical, and irresponsible. That era was the beginning of the end.
I don`t see how the hippy movement is to blame for "continued imperialistic foreign policy" It was the exact thing the hippies tried to fight.

The gun debate is one that has taken part at some point within every country. And like abortion or drugs etc; it's a debate that almost every person likes to stick their oar in over (in fact a lot of the main anti-gun posters in these gun threads have been American citizens themselves). Add to the fact that this is a forum with a fairly decent mix of posters from around the world and.... surprise surprise, you're going to read different opinions. Why get upset about that? If the issue were an internal one for the UK, I wouldn't have the slightest problem with someone outside the UK sticking their 2 cents in.

When it comes to repeatedly bashing America at every opportunity for no reason, well then I agree with you, that's not right and it'd be understandable you getting pissed.

Good reply, thank you.

I cant speak for every American here, but we honestly like talking with you guys from across the pond, and trust me, we are WELL AWARE of the crap that we have going on over here. But the continuous, day-in-and-day-out crap I keep reading from these guys gets old after a few years. I mean, are these nutjobs typical of the kinda intellect you have over there?

I will say, there are a few of you guys over there that arent kooks, and your viewpoints are usually good ones.
we honestly like talking with you guys from across the pond

Likewise. It's cool talking to other people drawn here with the same love of Motocross from around the world about various things. To be fair to you guys, this gun debate is an issue that, while interesting me, ultimately won't have an affect on my life. I don't live in America so what Obama does over this is unlikely to alter my livelihood in any way. But for you guys I can appreciate that's not the same. You live there and are directly (regardless of sides) affected by every decision. It's easier for me to be blase about it.

Klowngols, did you know you're a brain dead useless fuck? Lol. Wow. Can't even consider that as bait. The entertainment factor continues to rise. Keep those hooves a pounding. We're waiting for more brilliance.

If it wasn't for America and our 'guns', most of you would be speaking German......
Honestly, it's probably because Kongols isnt really from Latvia.

Oh sure, first the American's steal our flag for their backpacks so they get some respect when they travel and now we have Latvian impersonators grabbing our glory as well.

As far as I'm concerned, I may not be an American citizen, but I own property in the US as well as having investments in US based companies. If your society goes to shit I lose value on my investments as well as the enjoyment of my property. I feel that gives me the right to come on here and comment when you guys are going off the rails. Besides the fact that we're also neighbours, share the world's longest undefended border and that I have friends and family that live in your country that I care for and worry about.

Get your fucking shit together and quit shooting each other over stupid stuff. Don't make me come down there and sort it out for you. I'll yank your jersey over your head and give you a good old fashioned hockey whooping.

Anyway it's been fun but I have to stay out of this mess, SX is coming up and I don't want to end up clicked during SX season so you guys will have to figure this stuff out without my superior intellect. It's an addiction and will be hard to quit but it's a lot of work explaining stuff to you guys all the time. I enjoyed it and didn't get booted so it was a positive experience.

sadly this kind of things happen in an open society
we lost freedoms (rights) after 911, it has not become safer
do we get our rights back? don't even think about it
more cctv cameras more laws more regulation more police state, it will not help us

we can't protect our society against crazy poeple,
one maniac ruining it for the large group of well-intentioned Folks

Ya! Now THAT'S what I'm talkin bout!! Yeah Boyeeee! See Klowngols? THAT'S how it's done. Pay attention son.
While our military may be not the same as other countries, history has proven when it needs to get done, the Canadian military can be counted on. We created the concept of "peace keepers". That's what we Canadians do. Stop the rest of you assholes from beatin the fuck out of each other in the sandbox. Google it. Lester B Pearson. Suez Canal Crisis. Easy Klowngols I said CANAL, not anal.

You're ignorant Crash. Always have been and always will be I guess. 158 Canadians killed in Afghanistan so far helping you fuckers out. No wonder you guys are finding it tougher and tougher to find allies willing to back your bullshit wars.

Ask any American soldier about the Canadians they served with and they'd smack you down for what you said. They're considered an asset wherever they're deployed, respected by their allies and feared by their opponents.

We may not have the biggest military, but when the cause is just we never back down from a fight and fight until it's done.

If you guys had any idea of how to develop a proper foreign policy and stayed out of other people's politics you wouldn't need the military you have either. If you spent proportionally on defence the way we do, you'd have no debt and would live in a much richer and more peaceful nation.
