It shows the ignorance of the U.S people wink.gif

 

 

Here we go, 1 2 3:

 

O Canada!

Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!

 

From far and wide,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

 

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

 

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

 

 

In french this time:

 

O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux,

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!

Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,

Il sait porter la croix!

 

Ton histoire est une épopée

Des plus brillants exploits.

 

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

 

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

Actually I did think, a Neutron Warhead has very little in the way of fissionable material and has almost no residual radation after the intial effect which can kill people instantly...

So how would you destroy Canada and manage to avoid our kind?

I am in the future and in so being I am in the past thus, after such chronospherique opposition, I'm in the present.

 

I will avoid all the explanation, theories: Time isn't simple stuff. wink.gif

Yeah Canada!

Time serves humans as a countdown to it's ultimate doom... time is actually inexistant, a simple creation of man, pitufully trying to explain and understand life, trying to disagree with the truth: life is pointless...

 

but not today, because it's Canada day! biggrin.gif

Yep. 512kbps of sheer blistering speed. (Actually, there's hardly anyone on cable in my area, so they seem to have capped the bandwidth at around 700). Downloaded about 150 megs of files last night in an hour, and I'm getting pings of 30-40 on most gaming servers. I'm still recovering from the shock. smile.gif

Well, if you insist.

 

'What, how did you know??'

 

I'm guessing the couple of times I was on IRC earlier? Either that, or you've stolen one of the Sith's passwords and accessed my IP. smile.gif

hey i want that speed, ive only got 64k cable which is about half the speed of 514k at the moment as servers are still pretty slow (milkshake had that problem with his 512k, finding a fast server) anyway 64k because its cable and has a high quality connection is about as fast as 112k isdn.

Time certainly isn't merely a creation of man.

 

Years and days are objective, measureable periods of time. They would exist regardless of human existence.

 

Besides, the Universe had a beginning, and time can be counted from there.

Connor's right. Time is real, it's only our particular perception of it that's an illusion.

 

I actually created a whole new time system for one of my SF projects: the time that a point midway between the galactic core and the rim takes to orbit the core is divided into X number of "standard" years. The calendar started over 5000 of these years ago, with the founding of the Galactic Alliance by the Norak & the Tarella.

 

Either way, HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!

 

[chorus]

I am,

you know I am,

(know I am)

I am

Canadian!

[/chorus]

 

I love this country,

where I am.

This land is where

I make my stand.

N'y'a pas un coeur qui est

truer than,

[sHATNER]The one . . . we call . . . Canadian. . .Canadian[/sHATNER]

It's like I always say: When the going gets tough, the tough . . . switch to artillery.

For never actually accomplishing anything Canada certainly thinks quite highly of themselves. When times are harsh on me from the ignorance of foreign, non-americans, I seek the words of the glorious Gordon Sinclair:

The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the earth.

 

As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtse. Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did.

 

They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Misssissippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

 

When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

 

When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.

 

The Marshall Plan .. the Truman Policy .. all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans.

 

I'd like to see one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.

 

Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas 107? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or women on the moon?

 

You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, most of them ... unless they are breaking Canadian laws .. are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.

 

When the Americans get out of this bind ... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the hell with the rest of the world'. Let someone else buy the Israel bonds, Let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes.

 

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.

 

Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

 

Our neighbours have faced it alone and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.

 

I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians. And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.

 

This year's disasters .. with the year less than half-over… has taken it all and nobody...but nobody... has helped.

 

So, if you don't mind, my country will continue to control essentially all the economic, industrial, military, and cultural power on Earth while we continue to be the most innovative society ever, all while I live in a state of comfort unmatched in all of recorded human history.

 

Most American's DO in fact realize there is a world outside of our borders, but no one cares. Why doesn't anyone care? Because we simply don't have any reason to. How is my life affected by whether or not that I know that the guy in charge of Great Britian is named Tony Blair? It's not. Oh yeah, and not every American owns 52000 handguns like SOME "educated" parts of the world seem to believe.

As far as I care, Canada can continue to be Europe's socialist lapdog, just as long as they leave me alone. Canada can have that UN that they so adore. It's just a club for third world despots and Communist "progressives" anyhow. And the next time I see one of those Canadian "patriots" running around MY country with a stupid flag sewn to a backpack, I'll shoot him with one of the handguns that grows on trees or something in this lawless land. Who knows maybe I'll fall into that .01% of convicted murderers who actually get executed in America: Land of the Death Penalty. (In case you care, the reason that you don't see anyone running around with a US flag sewn to themselves is because wearing the US flag is considered an honor, symbolizing your service to the country. Hence, police officers, uniformed persons working for the federal government, and soldiers are the only people that wear them).

So in short, USA=#1

 

PS, if Canada is such a wonderful land, then why did so many more people immigrate to the US?
