Or the fact that when you blow up the world, there is nowhere to live... that includes seven elevens...

it'd just be the cold war all over again. History proved that people think twice about shooting a country that can shoot back just as hard.

I never said it did. It'll still fuck you up more than me.
All I'm saying is I like my country and I'd appricate it if everyone stopped bashing on it.

@ LimboWoman: Yes, Dynamite is considered a weapon of mass destruction, precisely because of its ability to inflict destruction in [/i]mass[/i] quantities. That's one thing I'm not so fond of, when it comes to political administrations with overseas agendas [that can count for ANY country, Trey, not just the US]... they politicize terms that have no buisness being brought into the frey. 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' now mean nuclear weapons and biochemical weapons and such, when in reality, it's just anything that can cause a LOT of destruction, FAST. I mean, -shit-, by that account, a well-aimed Molotov cocktail could classify, and I'm sure some do.
@ Trey: Trey, I don't think people hate America-The-Country so much as they hate America-The-Mentality. There IS a difference, in the eyes of the world. I mean.. at least here in Southern Ontario, the average American is greeted rather friendlily. It's not the people that we dislike, its the policies and the politics that seem to be a little confrontational. Though this whole passport thing gets my goose since its just such an aggravation.

Bush is certainly made fun of quite a bit in southern Ontario, though I suppose everyone makes fun of him, including Americans.

Fox, 'where' in Southern Ontario is getting a little bit more specific then I really feel comfortable disclosing, not least because it seems that 3/4ths of the people on this forum are Canadian, and that could lead to some pretty icky circumstances.
But trust me on that one... most Canadians, while we dislike American Policy, don't have a problem with the vast majority of Americans themselves. Mind you, there's exeptions, but that tends to be because 'Oh, this American is an asshole', and not, "All Americans are, by default, assholes."
Bush, on the other hand, is not a representational sample of American Every-Man, and yeah, Bush is ridiculed pretty often... but that's one person. But ah well...
