what is the problem with shaolin-do?

[Meat Shake]

lol.
I wonder where we'd be if america had lost that war.... Hmm...
I guess canada would be france jr. instead of america jr.

[Liokault]

Actually, Cuba doesn't play in our world series, unless you're counting all the Cuban players on the various teams. Canada has a few teams, but who counts Canada as a separate country?

Um? Well Canadians do, so do the 3% of americans that are aware or "abroad. OH and the rest of the world.

I have just been informed (by my girl) that canada kicked americas butt (her word) in a war once.

[Meat Shake]

Maybe your girl needs to retake world history
The only thing close to beating america in a war, was the french - indian war.... French Vs. American indians. Thats before america was america.

[MasterKiller]

Wrong, MeatShake.

Liokault's woman is referring to the War of the Ghay (1969-1974), which Canada won hands down. They still wear bell-bottoms and butterfly collars to commemorate the victory.

lol.
What about feathery hair and tye die?

At one point, I respect Tony Blair. Dude was (is) intelligent and is willing to get stuff done.

Then, Bush, who is not intelligent (well, in some political circumstances, he can rise above coniving) and is willing to make stuff take a dang long while, made Blair his prison b!tch.

Politically speaking, of course.

Be perfectly honest, I love America, but the shiyt is really starting to hit the fan, and it's spraying all over us.

Course, most of the world still asks "how high" when we say "jump."

Hehe. I think America (or USA) has done pretty good job beating itself up in these last few wars in the Middle-East...

[Daredevil]

Well, there's no denying that America is the eminent military power of the planet. Of course, that fact alone doesn't make them the empire the current regime hopes it was ...

[The Willow Sword]

The French/Indian war was not the French against the Indians it was the colonies and the British who were fighting the French AND the Indians( certain indian tribes like the cherokee and the hodnoshonee nations) some were allied with the british some with the french. in the end the French screwed over the indian tribes who fouhgt with them and then the colonies and the british took over that project. (know your american history guys )

I thought I remembered what Liokault's significant other was talking about. During the War of 1812, specifically in September of 1813 the U.S. DID attempt invasion of Canada...three times. I suppose you could classify them as raids...but they were either repulsed or "avenged" by the British.
We did pretty well on the water though...led by Admiral Perry.

Looking up the above info I stumbled across this website:

Shocked the heck out of me, bet you non-U.S. KFMer's will just Love this one!

Just watched a very interesting news program.

It shows a film crew (UK) being bombed by a F-15(I think it was an F-15 but it was definatly American).

They film the plane coming in, dropping a bomb then the camera stops for about 3 seconds as the bomb explodes. After this most of the film crew are dead and theres blood on the camera lens.
The plane then comes round for a second run.

This happend because the only information that the pilot was given about his target was that it was on a road near a intersection!

This is the reason that you are getting beaten up in the Middle-East and part of why the rest of the world laughts at your armed forces.

[Kristoffer]

pretty much, yeah

[Ray Pina]

We also lost Vietnamn....

Anyway, I'm not into politics at all. But after 9/11 I'd rather have a president doing too much than not enough.

All this crap over the "mission accomplished" banner. The mission was accomplished. Overthrow Saddam! We did. Now there is a new and more complicated mission: police an occupied land. Two different things.

As far as journalist being killed, or enemy purposely breaks the rules of war by storing troops and weapons in civilian areas. Our troops were taking fire from a hotel and JAG's gave the go ahead return fire. Journalists putting themselves in harms way to get the scoop do so willingly. This is a war and all the ugly aspects of it will turn up time and time again.

For those of you not in NY, go find some footage of planes crashing into two large civilian buildings, people jumping out to avoid burning to death. I used to be a pacifict. Now I want to see more heads.

I also suspect the folks -- who have gone to West Point, have been trained -- are making informed decisions with more information than you and I have.

This thing in Iraq is actually ingenious. We have forced our enemy to come fight us on their land. I'd rather Alqeda move from Afganastan to Iran to fight soldiers than to NYC. If anything, we're being too cool. That's our biggest fault.

My biggest fear: Americans who have forgotten 9/11 (even after all the NEVER FORGETS) who demand we back off. Hell, I think we are just getting started. There is a lot of a$$ that still needs to be kicked.

Golden Snake has completed the SD Holy Trinity by becoming himself, CrazyMadDrunk, and YinYangDagger all at the same time. Perhaps his next incarnation will be even better. For someone so proud to be an SD practicioner, he sure does hide behind screen names a lot.

Hi shaolin do. Next time, change up your writing style a bit.
