QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 04:37 AM) You come in here with that vile anti-American crap and then complain about that? Man, you got your nerve. I imagine you can just get used to anti-Canadien sentiments. You're probably more responsible for turning the opinions of many American posters against Canada than anything coming out of the press. Well I did put it in green!

Wouldn't it have been easier to have said "hey we apologize and we're going to look into this with an investigation" instead of "oh they were coming right at us, even as we were firing warning shots!". The whole situation is being blown out of proportion and since we'll probably never get any real good answers I hope this issue fades away soon.

This looks like a really cool movie and doesn't seem like Keanu could ruin this character like he did Constantine. summary courtesy imdb.com http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405296/ This is directed by Richard Linklater director of Dazed and Confused and numerous other hit movies including the soon to be released remake of Bad News Bears. It also stars Woody Harrelson, Robert Downey Jr., and Winona Ryder. As you can see this uses an interesting creation made by some sort of animation over top of film.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) "On this score, you might want to explore the concept of the 'Responsibility to Protect' while you're in Ottawa. It's a Canadian idea born out of the recent experience of Kosovo and informed by the many horrific examples of inhumanity over the last half-century. Many Canadians feel it has a lot more relevance to providing real human security in the world than missile defence ever will." If you are so damn willing to 'protect' after the 'many horrific examples of inhumanity', why do you have such a bug up your ass about helping out in Iraq? Were there not attrocities happening there? Were there not mass graves? Was Saddam not gassing and killing his own people? Was Saddam not starving his people while building palaces of gold? And before you even start in with 'NO WMD's', that shouldn't matter, not if you really wanted to 'Protect'. Get off your f***ing high horse you arragont little pissant country and do something that matters. "I know it seems improbable to your divinely guided master in the White House ..." do I sense a bit of veiled racism here? Or is it ok because Condi is a conservative? Sheesh Anti-Canadianism at its best. All countries can be scolded for incidents of ignoring terrible conditions but simply there are limits to what can be done. And Canada sure wasn't about to go into Iraq when there are countries which need your and our aid so much more. Interesting observation about veiled racism but you're fishing and I'm pretty sure there's nothing there. Just trying to take credit from a very well written and passionate piece.

Well I finally watched The O'Reilly Factor tonight and for the most part it was what I expected. Here's what I got out of it and some other random observations. First off I've never seen a commentator compliment his guest as much as he does (ie you're obviously a good person, you're a good american, you have a good head on your shoulders type thing). Also, I haven't seen a commentator interrupt or talk over a guest as much as he does since I last watched Crossfire. Anyways on to the meat and potatoes of my summary. After viewing it once, it seems that this show's goal is to pit the right against the left and I'd say to the extent of the right being the good guys and the left being the bad guys. All the topics on this episode were displayed this way. 1.Colorado U. President stepping down -O'Reilly uses very simple minded arguments like Churchill is a Traitor and his work was nothing but propaganda. This subject is obviously way to complicated to do in a 7 or 8 minute segment and to simply to throw harsh terms at the subject is ineffective and repetitive. 2.Diplomat attempted child Rape story -It could be made an argument that this was more about taking shots at people of brown colored skin but O'Reilly didn't really say anything like this. His guest got into issues of law and that was pretty boring, O'Reilly was obviously bored too. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washingt..._avoid_charges/ 3.Weed Book -Next O'Reilly had a guy on who wrote a book about Marijuana for kids. The author tried to make up something about how this will actually prevent kids from using pot even though pot is obviously portrayed in a favourable manner in this book. O'Reilly wasn't buying it and neither am I. http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0509,pietras,61592,6.html 4.Virginia Islam School where man accused of plotting to kill Bush went -This was interesting but the guests he had on were students from many years ago at the school and didn't really have anything interesting to say. Then O'Reilly cornered them into answering the question "Does Al-Qaeda need to be completely destroyed" which had nothing to do with the subject and was completely unrelated and it pissed me and the guests off. 5.Moore speech cancelled by school -This was more about bashing Moore than about the school. Certainly not very interesting segment, especially for a Canadian. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles...academic_honor/ 6.Guy suing Tsunami warners -This is obviously a shot at frivalous lawsuits and the conspiracist in me says it's also a shot at John Edwards. Nonetheless the lawsuit was stupid. http://www9.sbs.com.au/theworldnews/region...105394&region=2 Anyways no real surprises here, this really isn't news program and I guess it's not supposed to be. I've also never seen a program anywhere near as bias as this and I have no idea what "you're entering the no spin zone" means. Well I won't be watching again, so I'll probably never find out.

Awesome full trailer now available. You can also see Michael Clarke Duncan, Powers Boothe and Michael Madsen in this one. Also Quentin Tarantino has the special status as guest director in this movie as I believe he directed 1 scene from the movie. http://movies.channel.aol.com/franchise/ex.../sin_city_movie

I just wanted to provide this to the politics talkers to help clear up how I feel about Missile Defense and this issue of claimed Anti-Americanism, because this letter explains much of what I feel.

I strongly doubt that's true.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) He has the wrong film, or the wrong actor. Or he was trying to quote a post about The Notebook because Nick Cassavetes directed that. I doubt it though.

but for how long? http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/st...1432366,00.html

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 09:48 AM) Huh?? Yup I thought the same thing when I saw that. I have no idea what a Cassavetes had to do with this. Should have been "Gallo!"

Great name! Happy Birthday!

Diary of a mad black woman Canada didn't even have that piece of junk in theatres.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 05:52 PM) Yeah, life is great up north. http://www.fraserinstitute.ca/shared/readm...?sNav=nr&id=570 Like I said I'm no expert but I still feel more comfortable knowing "qualified citizens" are not allowed to walk around on the street with guns. Guns have the power to kill instantly and it's something not every civilian should have a right to. Like we're allowed to have guns but not a joint? The whole issue pisses me clean off and I'm sick of people saying they have this right to bear arms. I'm also not so confident on the way these numbers are provided at the link. There is no way Canada will ever be as violent with guns as the US. I hate this issue.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 06:11 PM) Doesn't matter to me if most of the other countries dislike the U.S. That's the way it's going to have to be in the future I guess. Why?

The Hyenas are used as intimidation for debt collectors

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) A Michael Moore point of view is an irrelevant point of view. :headshake Debateable but I'm sure the right wing of the Republican party hopes so.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 02:56 AM) It's nice to be liked. I think that just means what Australia's perception of China is, not the world's perception of Australia.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 05:08 PM) If you speak highly of a gangster he is more likely to do you less harm. Then why doesn't this poll reflect the United States in a positive light?

http://www.tehrantimes.com/Description.asp...5&Cat=4&Num=005 I'm not 100% on the accuracy of these reports as they've yet to be picked up by a main stream North American news source (only Chinese, Cuban, Iran, Marxist sources ).
