How can the US trust the Canadians??????????

You sided with the British against us in the Revolutionary War and have hated us ever since.

We still consider Canada an "ally"...... Of course you directly border the continous 48 and we really have no choice.......

But there you go........

and since when does "trust" have anything to do with who we sell weapons to???

No doubt our weapons are sometimes turned against us but does this mean that if we stopped selling them that our enemies would give up????

Maybe Boeing should quit manufacturing airplanes......

Bottom line is our enemies will use whatever they can to hurt us and unfortunately the means may actually have been provided by us as horrible as it may be.

Do you really believe that if we refused to sell Saudis weapons that they wouldn't buy them from Russia or China and that some of these weapons would not end up being used against us also?

I'm quite confident that more US soldiers have died from foriegn made weapons than from US made.

Please name one ally of the US that DOESN'T recieve millions in weapons or aid from us.

If you are serious I can get into it for you.

You making up history? Canada really was not a country until 1867 and the Revolutionary War was from 1775–1783. What the hell they teaching you guys down there? And yeah we hate you so much, Canada is your largest trading partner and more Canadians visit the USA then any other country in the World. OOhhh the Hate.....please.....

Really, is that the only reason we are allies? I did not know bording countries had no choice but to be allies. You should let Europe know this. It could have saved a lot of wars from happening. WWI and II included. Wow...why didn't Europe get this memo?


The rest of your post reads like something miss_silver would write and I will not respond, albed's response made much more sense, and don't say I hate Americans because it is complete BS. Find me a post that would make you believe that could be true.

Anyone that isn't from the US must hate them

I believe this idea has been sold to the US public wholesale. (maybe there is still a few don't buy it )

I too am of course an American hater but never considered myself one.

But I have to say..
Many great things in the US that won much admiration from people elsewhere last century have been slowly dismantled bit by bit over the last decade.. and now it is looking like some bizarre sideshow freak eating itself. Myself I can't bring myself to hate anyone in any one country too much ,mostly because every individual is unique, the illusionary idea of borders do not matter much any more.... they are ancient lines that will slowly become obsolete over time.

You responded to my post adding the "trust" part yourself.

My initial post was in response to Sinners post that started this thread. Furthermore he quite clearly mentioned "TRUST" in connection to who we sell weapons to in that huge 15 word response to the article he posted. I then included it again in a quote in my post. Yet somehow you were and still are completely unable to figure this out. It was you that made "wrong assumtions" and then added those assumptions to your own post.

The quote clearly says "POSTED BY SINNER" not you, and the word trust is equally as clearly visible. I have since responded only to your judgement and completely false and wrong accusations to my initial post that didn't even involve you. It was you who judged me and put words in my mouth. It was after this initial post that I responded to your "who flew the planes" post. Yet your response to me wasn't about the only post of yours that I actually responded to and clearly about my response to Sinner.

Now back to my point that you have completely overshadowed which was that trust really has nothing to do with weapons sales. Regardless of the country, Canada, Saudi Arabia or Timbuktoo there will always be those individuals, whether they are a minority or the majority that will have their own agendas that could very well include using our weapons or aid against us.

I was referring to the British using what is now Canada to launch guerilla attacks against us during the war then retreat back across the border and that we werent always best of friends with our northern neighbors for allowing the British to do this.

I love Canadians.......they go back home after their visits unlike the Mexicans.

No the fact that we border isnt the only reason we are allies but Canada does rely on the US for security and it is definately in our best interest to provide it because of this fact.

You are absolutely right I can't say you have ever posted anything hateful about the US and was I definately out of line for directing that at you.

I gotta stop reading Silvers posts.
