One thing we have in common with this TRAITOR is we are genuinely disgusted.
Cheers,

Although the wheels may grind slowly, this seems a reasonable limit on free speech.

OberstSteiner said:Well, for one, I think that things are not tolerated as easily in the States,especially after 9/11. Canadians are much more passive than Americans when it comes to that sort of thing. Plus you might factor in the redneck, vigilantism aspect that is more prevalent in the States as well. I think the military is a stronger, more respected institution in the States as well (by the general population). Here we still get punks protesting and name calling at schools that allow CF recruiters on campus, I don't think that would fly too well in the States either. We as Canadains are just more tolerant to stuff like that in my opinion (which isn't necessarliy positive). We seem to put up with a lot of crap here without doing much about it, such as high taxes, corrupt politcs, seperatists, transfer payments to Quebec, shitty winters....

This is all "Your Opinion" based on absolutley no fact, correct?

OberstSteiner said:Just my opinion based on having lived in Canada??? Jesus Christ, I wasn't looking for a fight about it. A Can a person not say something here without attitude!
the 48th regulator said:You are making far out statements, with regards to what American will do, as opposed to Canadians, all based on conjecture.
I suggest, that you hit the post button a little less. And don't try to turn this into a "stop fighting and picking on me" situation, we have heard it before.
And although I have been called many things, thank you for the JC reference, it gives me a fine attitude.
Now, let's get back on track.

Nor are you any good at sarcasm.
And while we're at it - you haven't answered my rebuttal to your supposition regarding Americans yet.

I’m not saying they don’t have the right to free speech. All I’m saying is that the balance of living together in peace has been tipped over and is fast escalating to something that might be hard to stop in the future.
