I don't know. I'm having some issues seeing a lot of my image posts. I was unable to see my "teletubbies" carrier landing image, though everyone else could still see it. I've been uploading the images to free image hosting sites, then linking them into my posts. Perhaps the free imagehosting site is going down, or removed my image? Maybe you are having the same viewing issues I had?

@cbwm - your map's back up now

All the while I have the joy of not labeling myself as anything. This way I can laugh at the far-left, far-right, moderates, libertarians, totalitarians, or any other group who insists on "categorizing themselves" into "political thought groups".

For me it’s plain and simple “I am Canadian”

Yeah, sure
Good people my kind of crowd no matter who they are and I don't care which colors they wear Blue or Red.
My legion is to Human Race and not to individuals with name like Bush, Putin and alike.
I am equal opportunity "in your face" no matter who you are white, black, yellow or plain circus Bozo.
I see and judge world as I see it from my Canadian point of view.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the Monroe Doctrine for which it stands
One hemisphere, under our jack boots
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for....well, us.

Well, and I guess Canada too, since they're our #1 trading partner.

Sorry couldn't resist that. I love the way the Simpsons mock a lot of right wing politicians and beliefs sometimes.

I would not consider my self a die hard right winger, but I hate the double standard that is so commonly used in order to promote ones agenda. The right to bear arms is an American constitutional right, that’s a clear cut fact no matter how you toss it, agree or disagree. However, some of the same politicians that say that right is not relevant is the same one who will take the right to search and seizure and forcefully make it about abortion.

Cute map although it seems upside down from here.

Nice to see all the religious types still hate each other but the "Bible" does state that God said " Go forth and slay thy enemies." Not sure who reported this but it seems to give believers the right to war!

This one statement alone deters me from joining such "States of mind"

I despise war or war mungers.
I love my wife of 30+ years.
I love my sons.
I love my fellow man.
I believe all mankind has a right to be free.

The problem with the color of other peoples skin, to me, is like disliking one car over another exact same car because of the paint color.

My God loves me he just has not started a religion yet.

please get on with living, not planning how to kill. take your war effort money and buy me an island. Like New Zealand. Sorry about that Kiwi's.

Finally "serandfae" you seem to spew out that anything you ever purchased in your entire life , like your twinkies in your fridge are of more value than a human life. Before you attack me try and think about that. Paranoia seems to be the American diet from birth. People break into houses because they are either uneducated, starving, drug addicts or insane and no matter what I am sure they all are in need of help before they will ever need your bullet. Life truly is how we look at it. Hateful people Hate, loving people Love, warmungers War and morons kill humans.

Let me to put it to you this way

Tim sees as a twinky everyone who will try to break in his house.
He will, as he has this right under the Law, put everything he found on his property anywhere he wants to, including fridge, "on ice"

Is this challenge or warning?

I am certainly not one of those bleeding heart liberals who think if a person does wrong it's not their fault. A criminal is a criminal.

I suppose if someone broke into your house, you would offer them milk and cookies? When that person who is "insane" or a "drug addict" pulls out a 44 magnum, what are you going to do?

Hi fastreplies, WTF I was commenting on the FIRST post. BTW you are Canadian, which means you are really French which means you change sides depending on who is winning. Check the French history. Laws are laws and we all should abide by them but if the law is an *** it should be changed. Just being a law does not make it right. Laws that make killing legal are okay on a new frontier or the wild west but today? I think not. decide whose side you are on, the side of life or the side of death.

I would supply them with my own bullets to safe them a couple of bucks
and then point gun to my head and ask to pull the trigger

The countries I have lived in, USA being one of them, the scenario you suggest has never happened in my 50+ years on this planet. I am sure I would be more in need of a nuclear shelter before I need a gun. But to understand your point, you are saying that because planes crash and people die therefore planes should be banned! Because ignorant, uneducated people do wrong things they should be shot and accidentally killing one of your own family members by mistake is also okay with you.

How about not throwing up examples about what would I do and offering examples about how we can educate people better, feed the hungry, encourage self respect and the willingness to work for a living having the drug companies take responsibility for their plague on mankind but now ask me what I would do, well I am doing all I am able to to help humanity improve itself in spite of it.

If the 44 magnum person you speak of shows up I will simply tell he/she to shoot me if they think it will better their life. if not I would ask them to leave. you assume killing another human being is easy. Grow up, smarten up and share love not death.

I made this decision long time ago and the answer is:
my own life

Bjock, where do you live, and what do you got in the house? What time would be convenient for me to stop by?

An ocean away from earths' ******* but I can see it from here. I is in the house. Drop by 1 to 3 seconds after your death then we may have an intelligent conversation if not a little one sided. But this is getting off topic me thinks even though the topic "the world according to: any country is like a blind man describing the sight of a new born baby. The only true history is that written by the winners. Oops that was sarcasm for those that needed to know.

So if armed break-ins of houses never occur (according to you) then what are you complaining about? But then again, you might want to read a newspaper.


I don't think everyone should be a willing victim and let criminals rule.

That has nothing to do with what I said. Criminals who creak the law make a choice to. Planes don't make decisions.

Some people are just violent and mean. If someone breaks into a house with people at home, they usually know it. I think people have a right to protect themselves and their families. Fortunately, the lawmakers and judiciary agree.

Hey cool, censoring! I love it. I need more people correcting my views. thank you computer.
