WHAT DO CANADIANS HAVE TO BE PROUD OF?
1. Smarties
2. Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp
3. The size of our footballs fields and one less down
4. Baseball is Canadian
5. Lacrosse is Canadian
6. Hockey is Canadian
7. Basketball is Canadian
8. Apple pie is Canadian
9. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass
10. Tim Hortons kicks Dunkin' Donuts ass
11. In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadians pushed the Americans back...past their 'White House'. Then we burned it...and most of Washington, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie who was insane and hammered all the time. We got bored because they ran away, so we came home and partied...Go figure..
12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to
Germany.
13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere.
14. Our civil war was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour.
15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American
mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing... but showed up just in time to get caught.
16. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.
17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the worlds oldest company.
18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes.
19. We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.
20. We don't marry our kin-folk.
21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios that save countless lives each year.
22. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
23. A Canadian invented Superman.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT!
24. The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.
Oh yeah... and our elections only take one day.
Sorry everyone, but I'm really bored. I need something to do to keep me from doing my homework...

Guns don't kill people... they just make it really, really easy.
In 1998 there were 134 justified handgun homicides in the U.S. by private citizens (justified meaning in self-defense or defense of property or others, etc.). In that same year there were 6,498 handgun murders.
So you want your gun there when some guy is breaking into your house... well, odds are that he'll be carrying a gun when he comes in. 25% of all burglaries are committed with a handgun, and almost half of all robberies.
Also, just a side note.... people living in a household where a gun is kept are five times more likely to commit suicide than people living in households without firearms.

Ok, heres the thing with guns. Saying the person in the house can have a gun makes it just as easy for the criminal to obtain one. not only that, but do you think if a guy breaks in with a gun and sees you going for one he's not going to shoot you? come on, think about it. if you have a gun and he has a gun SOMEONE is going to get shot. Better to have him steal some stupid shit than have to kill him or be killed because you decide to be a man and pull a gun on him. let the cops catch him 5 minutes later 10 miles down the goddam road.
The whole planet would be better off if we DIDNT have any guns. It's like nukes except on a lower level. Better nobody has one than everyone.

Dogs are much safer. Some person isn't going to break into your house with their dog, see that you have a dog, and set their dog on you. lol

dogs can be shot just as easy as I can. Sure it would be peachy if criminals didn't have guns, but they do. And really, I could care less if I was living by myself and some guy wanted my rolex, if I had one. He wouldn't even need a knife- if he was bigger than I am, I can find the time on the wall! I'd for sure have a dog to protect me. And I'd also probably have a gun, even just to shoot at a little dot in a circle. It's fun. But if my wife's life is in danger, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure she's not going to be harmed. that's all. If we know that criminals are going to be loaded when they break in, are we just saying 'come on in, have anything, just please, take your shoes off at the door. Oh yeah, you can leave your heat on the counter, you won't be needing that here'? that's what it sounds like to me- or am I the only one who's willing to stand up for himself and his family?

Ok dude, you just said 'criminals are going to have guns'. how many WOULDNT if it wasnt so easy for everyone to GET one. *jabs finger at own head over and over again* thiiiink. no just jokin i dont want it personal. all im saying is sure your wife is in danger, so you're gona pull a gun and make sure theres a better chance he kills you both right there, takes your gun, and runs the hell out of there scared cuz he just killed 2 people and goes and shoots at some cops. THAT helps. seriously, think about it. the criminal's gona be better with a gun than you. if he isnt, then you shoot him and then some misguided idiot's dead. that or one of your kids decides he's gona take it to someone else's house and do the same thing. but WAIT, they'll have a gun and they'll shoot him! awwww nevermind then! after all, the little bastard deserved to die. or maybe thats what he'll think and he'll kill himself b/c all he has to do is pull the trigger.

I think we're both fighting the same force here. We both know that there's nothing we can do to take guns away from criminals. And the more laxadasical we get with the problem, the more break-ins and murders we'll have on our hands. How many drunk drivers kill people every year? Are we about to ban alcohol? I don't think so; there has to be a respect, and no matter how hard we push for safety in firearms, let's face it- the world isn't going to disarm. We can ram it down people's throats that they shouldn't drink and drive, but there will always be that one idiot who feels he's the exception to the rule. And there will always be that one moron who will be so sick to hurt another's pride; their family.

We're NOT fighting the same thing, dude. you like....must have not even read what i just wrote. seriously, there will be LESS criminals and LESS guns and LESS suicides and LESS DEAD PEOPLE if we make it extremely hard to attain a gun. Most criminals aren't going to qualify for a lethal weapon if they've already attempted something like that. there's 50% of them. then there's the 10% that just thinks they're gona take daddy's gun and go rob the local quick-e-mart. buuut you want the guy behind the counter to have a gun so they can be fair and have a fuckin SHOOTOUT. maybe someone buyin a bag of ketchup chips can get caught in the crossfire while they're at it.
here's the deal.
The more guns you give out, the more lethal criminals there will be.
The more lethal criminals there are the more people will buy guns for their house to 'protect their family' (except of course from suicides or a member of their family using the weapon to steal something or shoot that jerk at school that makes their life a living hell)
the more people who have guns against the criminals, the MORE PEOPLE DIE. thats ALL THERE IS TO IT. seriously, i'd rather take my chances that my TV might actually not get found by the cops than a bullet in my head.

Its not as sick as you think, but still pretty sick. Per 100,000 people Canada has 1.8 murders, whereas the US has 6.2. Thats pretty bad.

this whole gun thing is kind of bothering me. I don't want everyone to think I'm a huge activist or anything. I just think that the issue here is bigger than guns/no guns. It has to do with the condition of man. We can take away all the tangible methods of killing possible, but I believe that we'll still have the hate. I know people in Northern Ireland who have made shot guns with two pieces of pipe to take to rallies.
I guess I haven't been exposed to a lot of places where hate is deathly real. I also believe that conflict has risen dramatically in the last half century. When my dad was growing up, if two people didn't like each other, they'd punch it out, the winner knew he'd won, and he'd leave. Now, two people don't like each other, so they grab all their buddies to pulvarize the other guy. Do you think it was any harder back then to get a gun? no way; I bet they didn't even lock them. It's scary how much disrespect there is now, eh?
I guess that's what I'm trying to spit out- I'm not an NRA spokesman, but I do believe that it's going to take a lot more than taking guns away for people to stop killing one another. and we can aaaaaalllll start by spreadin the love like snow on a mountain.

I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing,

In Australia you are unable to get a firearm license and therefore a firearm unless you can show good reason for having one. Firearm crimes are not non existent in australia but are certainly a damn site rarer than they are in the states. Also i reckon Canada is better than the states because while people from the United States (have you ever noticed that you can't say anything like Australian or Canadian for people from the united states? i reckon it was deliberately contrived so you would have to say 'American', but i digress) are generally cool, the US government is so sickeningly self rightueos in there domination of world affairs it really gets on my nerves.

It was a really stupid mistake. I mean, when you agree to be a soldier, you always know that there's the chance of dying, but you don't think that you'll be killed by the people you're fighting with. It was a stupid, senseless mistake. The pilot should have waited for his orders and not jumped to conclusions.

OK i wanna know why all you yanksthink we say aboot? We don't, i know absolutly no one from east to west coast who says it!
Also i'll say it again, canada has incredibly good soldiers, just not good funding. And we should lay that blame on the government, the army needs an overhaul but thats a ddifferent subject.
I don't really think we should get too mad at the yankee pilot for dropping the bomb. He probably believed his life was in danger, it was the air traffic control and the american commanders who should be put at fault. The Air Traffic controller never told the pilot that he was in a training area, and the commanders never told controll about the exercise. Remember the american army has a bad history with friendly fire. Of the 120 or so casulties taken during the gulf war about 25% of those were friendly fire.
Anyway thats just my two cents.
