You state you never say anything negative? I beg to differ. I take great offense to your comment that only 4 Canadian soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan. This is an insult to our Soldiers who put their lives on the line to protect our country. Statements such as yours disrespects them at a time when we should be remembering and saying thanks! Regardless whether they are Canadian or American!
In fact since 2002 their have been 71 Canadian soldiers and 1 diplomat killed in Afghanistan. The four you are referring too were killed in April of 2002 in a friendly fire incident when a U.S. F-16 jet mistakenly bombed them, while they were on a training excercise. Of Note, eight soldiers were wounded in the same incident. I'm not sure where your getting your outdated information from.
Ah, yes, I am reminded of one of The Onion's magazine covers:
"Foreigners; Do They Love Their Country More Than Ours?"
The gall!
Slider, this is a guy who's still worried that the Russians are coming to get us. Why would he have current information? And how is he on the internet in 1962?

I have never flet unwelcomed here and we are all on this planet together trying to make things better for everyone. Americans are the most uselfish people on this earth. I wish I felt half the pride as the average American feels for their country.

Is there any doubt Canada, Great Britain, and Australia are our best friends? StarDad, Canada was there on the beaches of Normandy, and I dare say she'll be there in the end. Besides, there's baseball players there so they must get something right!

If you listen to Rush Limbough, "Baby Rush" Glenn Beck and Lou dobbs on CNN everyday, you will get the same info about Canada and the Russian Invasion as me. You do not call them ignorants, do you? Missouri is the "Rush Country", do you remeber? "Rush always right!"
Hi, Guys, no more politics. Back to baseball. I am not going to argue about Canadian wealth anymore, enough said.
