Actually we are still there it's just we have military presence as apposed to a "peacekeeper" contingent like Canada

Don't peacekeepers wear the UN symbols on their uniforms and not those of their homeland? hmmm I always forget that as I don't see many pictures of UN Peacekeeper contingents.

I meant huge as in the american government tends to but into alot more national affairs then canada (yes I said butt in in a bad way) that's all I meant by just about everyone knows who we are.


Anyway I'm out of this thread as I'm buisy working on my mod so have fun all

I know that's what you meant about "just about everyone knowing who the USA is". I was purposely being obtuse I do that lots, and was just trying to interject a little humor into the situation. I know, it was pathetic, but I just needed to try

Anywho, I (speaking as a Canadian) did not take any offense to what Starhawk said about Canada. Small population we have. Personally, I like it that way. If you want to live in the middle of nowhere, or in the middle of a metropolitan, modern city, or anywhere in between, you can. Its great. As for the small military....its true! And I know many Canadians would like us to have a larger military presence, but many would also like us to keep it just as it is. My opinion officially doesn't matter, since I'm not yet of voting age But I should be by the time the next federal and provincial elections come along.

I think we all need to take a small step back, and not become so incensed over what other people say. Everyone has different opinions, and though those opinions may clash, it tells just how free we all are. That we can voice our opinions, even though they may be anti-government, etc. Anyways, I guess you can call this just a plea to calm down, and discuss things in a more rational and...well...calm manner.

I'm outta here for today, hope next time I pop into this thread, things are a little more reasonable....

Also, I'm sorry if my opinion has insulted anyone, that has not been my intention. I haven't been insulted by anyone elses opinions...at times I've shaken my head at the apparent ignorance of some people, but then again, maybe I'm ignorant and missing something obvious.
