I bet none of you knew that:

A man died after being stabbed outside a karaoke bar, last night.

Or

An 8 year old girl had her face ripped apart by a dog.

These two events happened in my country. I'm mourning them.

well the shuttle crew is kinda like celebrities. so maybe thats why they make that a big deal. as far as death goes Im sure that America with its murder rate. has a lot more deaths that most countries and we don't mourne these as much. people like police, gov, NASA. the are kinda like a celebrity. when princess di died. I wonder if USA was here going shes a brit who cares. I doubt it because we mourned her too

Thank you to the cock monkeys who managed to ruined a peace making thread. Nice to see that this forum has about 20 people who agree with me and about 2 idiots

I dunno, i think its pretty much a given that country bashig is gonna occur but 99% of the time its americans and canadians bashing each other.


Pretty fucking stupid imo, you're supposed to be neighbours but people on both sides stir the shit. hake:

I know it is sad....and it has to stop. It isn't too hard to refrain from contry bashing. Let's all just be friends.

Vance 02-02-2003 11:10 AM

Well I rest easy knowing that if we ever go to war with Canada we will kick their ass.

Jedi Marksman 02-02-2003 11:44 AM

Vance, c'mon. The chances of us going to war with Canada are less than 0. Canadian Bacon, aside(hilarious movie).

There is more of a chance of going to war with Mars. biggrin:

Seriously though, the country bashing needs to stop.

You know what i can't understand? It's people from other countries who poke fun of the American media. If you don't like the American media, stop watching it!! Is it because thats the only news station in the world??.......i doubt it. Hey, i have an idea...if you're from Russia, watch Russian news stations...and if you're from Canada, watch Canadien news stations!! Just stop watching the "bullshit" American news stations!!

In the county where i live, we have one newspaper where all local and national news gets top coverage whereas world news takes second. It's still there in the paper.....you just have to read through to find it. Does this mean we think less of the rest of the world? I think not. I'm well aware of whats going on in the world today. I knew of the earthquakes in Mexico, of the bus bombing in Afghanistan, of the terrorist arrests in Italy, of the explosion in Nigeria, of the N. Koreans nuclear movement....etc, etc.
Just because this doesn't take center stage from my local paper, it doesn't mean it's not reported.
So to all you idiots out there who believe CNN is the only news source, go kill yourself!!

Grow up Pyro... 7 People died yesterday doing something so dangerous and pushing the limits of the world we live in today to benefit mankind... something only a select few have done before... I think that deserves a little respect... we are Patriotic Americans because we believe in our country and we believe in those 7 people who took extraordinary risks for our country and the rest of the world to explore the new frontier of space.
