I guess people can only access the internet inside North America.

It's been 5 months since I've been on deployment and, while in garrison, I share my time between Avcanada and Facebook.

5 months and already you've gathered this wealth of knowledge to teach us all. I am impressed!

Explains it all.

I didn't bother to read the 5 pages of replies but I'll say this.

I like Americans. A lot more than people from Toronto.

That is all

People from TO suck big time not a doubt. most americans are ok - just occasionally stupid and herd mentality and unread, but mostly just trying to make a buck. By the way, they hate having to much mayo slathered on their sandwiches.

People from sk are much nicer and full of love.

So much that they seem to love their family members too much

I'm sorry, I didn't know you had to be over thirty before you could opine.

And Bob, how much has changed in the Middle East in the last 27 years?

Didn’t Churchill say something along the lines of:

“You can always gauge a country by how many are leaving versus how many are entering.”

Yes, I believe he did. That is a salient reminder of what exactly the U.S. has done for Iraq in the past 5 years. Little wonder that the majority wish their dictator was still in power.

Only 50,000 to 100,000 a month are leaving Iraq now that it's under US occupation. I'm sure they intended this.

There are up to four million Iraqis now living away from home, including 1.9m living as internally displaced people

So it's settled, Iraq is a shithole.
America not so much.

Where's the argument?
