If people want to live with your s**thole values they can go and live in your shithole- only 39% of Canadians voted for this garbage

60% of Canadians (probably more) would disagree with that analysis.

Not even John A. MacDonald?

John A. McDonald was actually rather corrupt--he gave CPR contracts to personal friends (I think in exchange for bribes). And he was a drunk.

You know, maybe I'll move to London once I'm done university. I like the city and hopefully they'll still have a half-decent country. Or I could try Stockholm...

My analysis or Raptors? 60% of Canadians didn't vote Conservative

I know next to nothing about Canadian politics, so I'm going wholly off of who's reacting how. The signs are encouraging.

Yes, the people who care about democracy, something I would figure Americans would appreciate, unless it doesn't serve them, I imagine. There is a noticeable lack Canadians seeing anything good about this election (probably representative of the lack of Canadians who voted for Harper). I'm not surprised Sturmbannführer Raptor would be encouraged.

Ooh, Nazi reference, now that's classy. I'm thinking more of our resident violence touting unreconstructed Marxist Quebecker, he's the butt end of my Canadian political compass.

More of an acknowledgement then a reference. I don't like to make Nazi references against people unless they actually show themselves to be somehow Nazi oriented. Raptor has done enough to deserve that, including make Zyklon B insults at a certain member, among other childish and offensive things. So he gets no respect from me, as he has no class himself. I hope you're at least aware of this now before you judge my distaste for him and unwillingness to put up with his BS

I think whats really driving Vigilans renewed distaste of me is the fact that I, an American, dared to comment humorously on a post abut a sensitive (to him) Canadian political development.
Now keep in mind that he, a Canadian, puts his 2 cents worth in freely and very regularly about American political issues that some of us are sensitive about.
Isn't this called arrogance?
Consider the source, I guess........... :roll:

Oh, and Vigilans, it's SS Hauptsturmfuher, not Sturmbanfuhrer.
I know you love me but don't be so quick to promote me.......... :twisted:

Renewed distaste? Who says it hasn't be constant?
I have no problem with Americans commenting on Canadian politics. I believe in freedom of speech, and I believe its everyone's right to comment about worldwide events when they are well informed enough to do so. Sorry, nice try with painting that picture, but you are a poor artist, capable of kitsch at best. I do find it amusing that you think Canada needs to be 'straightened out' when you seem to have questionable moral fiber or even knowledge about our country. We don't share you passion for Social Darwinism up here. Call me arrogant all you want, it doesn't bother me, as your petty insults are irrelevant. I treat people nicely here, regardless of their affiliation, until they do something I consider disrespectful; I am free with my opinion, and I do my best not to offend people. That is much more than I can say for you.

:lol: how honorable of you, to turn down that promotion. I will put in a word with the higher ups, and see to it that you are rewarded accordingly

Could you afford to live in London? the housing market is a joke with high prices. Plus London is the worst place in the UK of cost of living. Our Tories are f*****g up the country with spending cuts & no economic growth!

I was mostly disgusted by that 'hey kids, its time for a little fun with Zyklon B!' thing you held a while back. You at least take the SS joke in stride, and a sense of humor, I can admire
Try as hard as you wish, I suppose :) I just hope you'll stay on the intellectual side of things that you are fully capable of, instead of trying to insult nice people that don't deserve it.
