the only explanation i can think of is that people who steal big t.v.'s and such have lost a crap-load, such as their house, vehicles, all personal belongings, and may sometimes not have insurance. however, I'm not making excuses for them, just considering one possibility (for some) .Quote:

these people are distraught.
they just lost everything and you expect them to just be okay with it and pull together...especially in louisiana; a very hateful state.
i understand what they should have done, but also understand why they're doing what they do.
i heard in houston there was this guy who had supplies loaded in the back of his truck for the victims of the hurricane who were arriving at the astrodome - some guy stole the truck with supplies and drove off.
i hope the crime rate doesn't increase in houston more than it already is because of the people from louisiana, otherwise these houston boys are going to have show who's the boss in texas.
LMAO Killa I think you could be right :DQuote:

DUDE! Not my fault I couldn't edit my post after 5 minutes of posting it. I meant to say that of course not all of them are, but a good many are. I'm not one to generalize like that.Quote:

Not only that, but they practically made a killing off of WWII in the arms trade business. It wouldn't surprise me if part of the reason America joined was for their own economic interests, but of course I wouldn't base too much on that.Quote:

We also don't deprive half our population of health care, and we don't get involved in business that isn't ours. Our government is concerned with helping our people, your government is concerned with making money and telling people how to live. It's not our fault that we are so economically dependant on America. Part of that is because of some ridiculous laws that your government has made, that unfortunately no one had the balls to oppose.Quote:

I really wonder how many of the european nations would have fought in the war if they weren't being directly attacked, or saw that they were innevitably going to be invaded. you should be gratefull they even helped out in a war that they had no obligation to join.
3. the US sent England 50 destroyers to help out long before they joined the war, and told them they can pay it back after the war was over, and not with a constricting deadline.
4. "they only attacked because the Japanese bombed pearl harbour" is a pretty weak and simplistic argument. The Japanese wanted to invade the Chinese province of Manchuria, and the US told them they would face retaliation from america if they did so. that's the reason Japan attacked the US first, because they wanted to invade and the US was protecting them from aggression. also another reason not to jump into the European conflict when they had impending war with Japan looming.
5. The US still sent tons of supplies to help out before joining combat. If you argue doing so was only to make profit, then you're just bashing america no matter what they do. if they didnt' help out, people would chew them out for not helping, if they do help out it's just to make profit. it's lose/lose in the worlds eyes no matter what they do.
if you're going to bash somebody for past events, know what you're talking about (as so many people need to do).
Ok :pQuote:

People are killed everyday in every country on earth, if more people kill eachother in America than Canada GOOD!! that means were doing are part on keeping the Human population down while your health care system is saving worthless lives of crack whores and vagrant bums who do nothing.
Im glad America denies illegal immigrants health care. They have no right to come into the country I live in and step ahead of me in line when I was there first and most especially when they are using welfare to do it -- fuck them, if you are so heart-broken to hear that America denied them, maybe Canada should take every border hoping spick into open arms :D we'll see how well your crime rates do and how great your free health care is then ;)
If you dont like America's laws that somehow effect you (although I have never heard that argument before, kinda sounds like bullshit) then oppose them, shit I'll stand next to you and fight it if it makes you feel better :)
The American system of government was STARTED with a good idea, and a sound purpose. I am not happy that over time it has turned into a bunch of crooked power hogs. I never said that was the right thing to do and I never said I approved of it. But you dont need to go thrashing America's flaws, everyone and everything has flaws and we cant change that. Why are you so mad at America? please enlighten me Oh mighty enlightener :cool: you dont live here, you are not effected by my government or laws (that Im aware of) so why do you talk so much shit? do you even know what your arguing for?
I'm proud that I'm 25% Canadian, anything to get me closer to Avril Lavigne.Quote:
