QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) No. Never. Not even once. Maybe once. Then Cubkilla made an appearance and the rest is history.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:50 AM) Did you notice whenever Canda comes up in a debate at some point it's just ok, whatever, it's just Canada. There is no fire to keep up the debate. I think we've been ignoring them ever since beaver fur went out of style. I kid, 'cause I care® Used by permission That's not true. We are too busy ignoring Mexico.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:18 AM) His lawyers settled for "billion" because they couldn't spell "2.5 bajuggabajillion" like he wanted to sue for.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) Don't worry I'll never badmouth the USA, just the yoyos running it and the zombies that follow them. That, my fellow North American, I can live with. Carry on.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:40 AM) Well I don't and won't believe that. And if being high and mighty is believing what your country is doing is right as compared to another country then so be it. Whatever. So be it. But, mark my words. You come in here bad mouthing the USA when we are carrying you asses, I'll be all over yours. Every time it happens.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) That is why AROW is so important to this team. His hard work can only rub off on everyone else and it helps the entire team that way. He's so important, that you were totally justified in saying that twice.

Cleveland can have him.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:34 AM) Southsider let me help you Some people call me the soxtalk admin, yeah Some call me the poster of love Some people call me Maurice But thats my homie MurcieOne People post about me, baby Say I'm bannin' you wrong, bannin' you wrong.

I can see that you were needed. :headshake

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:33 AM) Yas haven't we already agreed that Canadians don't bother to worry about being invaded or terrorized and you guys do. Can't we just leave it at that. Sure. As long as you acknowledge by covering Canada with our security umbrella, it enables you to spend spend your money on your progressive agenda and not spend evil defense dollars. And that you don't get all high and mighty because we spend on defense and not on progressive entitlements.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) Watch how much of that cycles back to the US in payments to US based businesses like Haliburton. The US has the resources, know how, and services to handle this sort of massive infrastructure work. We even have a company whose expertise is in mass processing of corpses. Well of course. Why do you think we have to follow it? ... To get it back!!!!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) The defense budget isn't anywhere near a trillion dollars Regardless of what the defense budget is, Canada is STILL benefitting from the security umbrella we provide. China is still very communist, and by definition very expansionist. They also happen to have the world's largest army.

Ok ... I took a deep breath or two. I'm sorry, KWF, but Canada may very be a shell of what it is now if it wasn't for the US.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:17 AM) Which the irony of that is, their entire health system would collapse if it wasn't for American consumers paying higher drug prices so that the rest of the world doesn't have to pay as much for them. American consumers are paying literally subsidizing the R&D and drug prices for the entire world. You know what? I'm getting out of here. I'm getting too pissed. I get tired of mother f***ers bad mouthing the USof A while their country is benefitting just due to our mere presence ... or in the case of the uupity bastards in France, it irregardless of the fact that they'd be goose stepping to a different drummer than Canada would.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) Never forget to follow the money . . . That $350 million?

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) Well the entire world was close to being communist but that was 50 years ago, and as cold blooded as Putin is I don't think he's looking to expand into Canada. I'm not talking about now. In 1965 your parents would have learned how to goose step.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) You don't think so? If it wasn't for "Seward's Folly" Alaska would have been part of the USSR during the cold war. They were expansionists. You figured out where they would have expanded to. No wait ... your national health care policy would have been deterrent enough.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) Another thing thats always interesting is everyone hates America so much but yet when something bad happens who is one of the first contries they run and cry to?? Then when they get helped all they do is b**** and cry about how back America and its people are. If I had my way I would let the world figure out their own damn problems and let America work on its problems and see how that works out.... We tried isolationism .... in between WWI and WWII ... and we still had to bail 'em out.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) We don't f*** with them, they don't f*** with us. Other countries have no reason to screw with us as we keep our noses out of their business unless completely necessary. Unlike your current administration who marched into Iraq with reckless abandon. Oh come on. Hell if wasn't for the location of the state of Alaska, you'd be speaking Russian now.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:02 AM) I have no idea what you think honestly. But after reading stuff about Canada's attitude towards the US, I sure am adverse to supporting the economy of them. Why would I give money to someone who hates me? No thanks. I'll keep my tourist dollars here in the US. There is plenty to see and do here. Exactly. The French discovered that pissing off Americans can have a financial effect. French? Hmmmm. Do I detect a common thread here?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:56 AM) Hey World! We don't give a s*** now. Canada is fair game. This was just to make a point. If you HAD to spend more on defense, you wouldn't consider those other things the right things. National security would be the priority if necessary. It's not necessay because the world knows we would not stand for it.

Hey World! We don't give a s*** now. Canada is fair game.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:48 AM) Maybe they would give up Jose Valentin. He would fill our utility IF hole rather well. Why is my green not working? You're not clicking on "Close all Tags?"

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) You've got to be kidding nobody cares about Canada and no one in Canada is scared of being invaded. The only country that would ever invade is the U.S. due to their disappearing ressources. ie water There is such a fundamental difference in between how the majority of Canadians think and how the majority of Americans think. America would be up in arms if Canada got invaded. At least, that's the way I feel. But then, the more tell us about Canadiens feel about the US, the less I like you guys.

QUOTE(babybearhater @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) it was a joke, you know, ha ha some people are real quick You didn't use green.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) The effect the steroid policy will have depends on the details. If a guy can get caught 2 or 3 times before they 'out' him, he could juice up for the last 2 years in his career and not worry about it leaking. They're saying 1st offense brings 10 games. I would imagine a "mysterious" 10 game suspension would 'out' him.
