Scuba Forum / General / December 2007For The Canadian Club
STFU Or, please don't. You provide the perfect example of why the US Constitution was written and why young men swear their lives to defend it. You all are especially important in an election year, again. Without you providing example after example, in black and white, written by your own hands, the US and all free people would be doomed to a miserable, spineless, lickspittle existence like yours. Fortunately we have you to willingly provide an example of who and what not to be. >STFU > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >your own hands, the US and all free people would be doomed to a miserable, >spineless, lickspittle existence like yours. That would be the same miserable, spineless, lickspittle Canadian standard of living that 91% of Americans polled recently said would be an improvement for them? I was frankly a bit surprised at the 91%. I don't think things are so awful in the states. I suspect it's one of those "the grass is greener" deals. JF > STFU > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Fortunately we have you to willingly provide an example of who and what not > to be. Wow, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning? I always enjoy American presidential elections; it always amazes me how much some of you guys put personality and "life history" (I'm sure there's a better word for that) ahead of policy. Plus I like to look at the bright side - no matter who you vote in, they couldn't possibly be any worse then whom you've got now...

Morally bankrupt, a liar, and a cheat. About the only way you can survive in politics these days is to be the best liar, cheater and mud-slinger. > Have you folks elected all that many Canucks to office? > > JF I thought only native-born Americans could be president - as in no President Schwarchenegger.

You're correct. Dennis > > STFU > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Plus I like to look at the bright side - no matter who you vote in, > they couldn't possibly be any worse then whom you've got now... Sure they could. :-) Do bear in mind that personality and "life history" can give nice insight as to how they'll IMPLEMENT policy.

Although not my most favorite president, GWB ain't no Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler or <insert whatever dictator here you want>.

Yeah, but if I recall the discussions here during the last election the burning issues were: 1) Did Kerry actually deserve his purple heart 2) Did GWB actually go AWOL I don't remember much issue-wise at all. But then again, in a 2-party system things are maybe a little more defined - option a or option b. Up here we have to choose between many parties, and some of them aren't so far apart... Regardless, I've got a big supply of beer, a comfy armchair, and am planning on just leaning back and enjoying the show...

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > 1) Did Kerry actually deserve his purple heart > 2) Did GWB actually go AWOL That was only what may've been discussed here. There were a good bit of other issues raised during the election. However, it's hard to digest personal savings accounts in Social Security to a 15-second sound bite. > I don't remember much issue-wise at all.

Cool - have fun - it all starts shortly after Jan 1.

Surely yer not suggesting that rec.scuba is not in fact on the cutting edge of American political analysis.

Who said it was? It's a place where folks gather to discuss scuba, and anything else that we want to discuss. Dennis > STFU > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > not > to be.

They had a big storm and it trapped some of them. It's on the news all over North America at the moment. I was trying to remember when we last heard from him in fact, wondering if he was okay. JF >>>>> STFU >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > trying to remember when we last heard from him in fact, wondering if > he was okay. OK fair enough heard about it on the news over here. Best of luck to him. The septics seem to have really copped it recently all those fires in Ca ( some of our crews were over there) and now bad storms. Hope everyone from rec.scuba is OK as is everybody else. Always think of Dorothy MacKeller (sic) when I here about the juxtaposition of fires and flood. This is me just getting sentimental MY COUNTRY The love of field and coppice Of green and shaded lanes, Of ordered woods and gardens Is running in your veins. Strong love of grey-blue distance, Brown streams and soft, dim skies I know, but cannot share it, My love is otherwise. I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of rugged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror The wide brown land for me! The stark white ring-barked forests, All tragic to the moon, The sapphire-misted mountains, The hot gold hush of noon, Green tangle of the brushes Where lithe lianas coil, And orchids deck the tree-tops, And ferns the warm dark soil. Core of my heart, my country! Her pitiless blue sky, When, sick at heart, around us We see the cattle die But then the grey clouds gather, And we can bless again The drumming of an army, The steady soaking rain. Core of my heart, my country! Land of the rainbow gold, For flood and fire and famine She pays us back threefold. Over the thirsty paddocks, Watch, after many days, The filmy veil of greenness That thickens as we gaze. An opal-hearted country, A wilful, lavish land All you who have not loved her, You will not understand though Earth holds many splendours, Wherever I may die, I know to what brown country My homing thoughts will fly. |
