I'm aware thats what you meant, but thats not what you wrote.

If it were, then what Befell was saying would have actually meant that the reason people hate America is because people in America are too jealous.

You see, it's a joke, at your expense, it's funny because you were trying to say Befell was ignorant but wrote it in a way that meant that you were ignorant. It's funny.

I was under the impression people would get the gist of what I was saying. Sorry, I seem to forget about the kids on the BBS. But you're right, it is funny, funny that you make a joke out or your own misunderstanding, and then laugh at it.


Injured Workers rights were taken away in the 1920's by an insurance company (WCB), it's high time we got them back.

The United Kingdom is 40% of it's GDP in debt. The US isn't much more with 65%. The only reason our 7 trillion so massively outweighs your 700 billion is because were much richer than you.

And only $1,886 billion is owned by foreign entities, 36% percent of that is in the form of treasury bonds held by foreign residents, and the rest is almost entirely owned by foreign banks. And at no point can they simply 'ask for the money back' thats not how bonds or loans work.

Yeah, right, misunderstanding, I actually thought that was what your saying.*rolls eyes*

Fifteen percent is a lot. And then you've got to remember that happened in our country within five years and is expected to get worse.

And only $1,886 billion is owned by foreign entities, 36% percent of that is in the form of treasury bonds held by foreign residents, and the rest is almost entirely owned by foreign banks. And at no point can they simply 'ask for the money back' thats not how bonds or loans work.

1.9 trillion owned by foreign entities. We have a 7 trillion dollar debt. 1.9 trillion may not seem like much in comparison, but it's still a lot of money that is going to have to be paid off, with interest within the next generation. And, according to law, they can't ask for their money back, but I'm almost certain that he was being facetious.

Yeah I guess but the debt doesnt really have much of an effect anyway. Nevertheless, the US's debt is lower than alot of countries, Germany, France, Japan for instance has like 125%.

1.9 trillion owned by foreign entities. We have a 7 trillion dollar debt. 1.9 trillion may not seem like much in comparison, but it's still a lot of money that is going to have to be paid off, with interest within the next generation.

I'm not saying the debt doesn't matter, it most certainly is a bad thing. But I'm saying it's not just a US problem. Other countries don't pay attention to it as much, the US is a more economic minded country.

And, according to law, they can't ask for their money back, but I'm almost certain that he was being facetious.

Well there isn't actually a law saying you can't ask for it back, you can, but they are under no obligation to give it back. More accurately the US if anyone has a position of power, because there is not much they can do to make us pay them.

There is a law. It's called a contract. It was signed with the understanding that one party would pay the other party off in a certain amount of time. The second party is not allowed to ask for the full amount of money before that time comes. It's just like how a lender is not allowed to ask for their money back on your mortgage. You signed a contract that it would be paid off, with interest, in a certain amount of time and they can't break that contract because they're afraid you might not be able to pay it off.

No, I'm afraid thats not true. You can ask for it back, thats not in violation of the contract. The contract simply says you have no legal right to that money. You can ask for it back but under no cirumstances can the government force them to give it back.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I understand now that you've bolded the words 'me' and 'I' for some reason. Makes perfect sense.

It's to emphasize the words. You see, when speaking to another human being in person, you are able to change the pitch and tone of the words you use. This can make two sentences that are written the same way, sound differently when spoken.

However, the internet does not provide such a luxary, so instead, when people communicate, they use options such as bolding, italics, or underlining to convey tone and pitch of words to recreate speech through text.

Hope that clarifies why BC used bold in his message. Now, as for whether or not you understand what it is that's saying when it comes to the issue behind your discussion... well... that's between you and him.

(honestly, you have to explain every little detail to some people)

There is one piece of proof I have that can support this : The School System.

Schools do not recieve equal funding, and recieve mostly municipal funding, therefore all of the innercity schools, where there is more of an ethnically diverse population, recieves much less funding than suburban schools where there is, generally, more of a white population.

This is fucked up. I think equal state funding of school districts, based on student population and population density, would be the key to success, but no, they already are doing that in most parts of Canada, anything any other country does has to be bad and we have to do it the American way.

*sigh*

Patriotism often intrudes on logical thinking.

I completely agree with you. It's a shame that any district gets less funding than another. It sets an automatic blockade on anyone from the "lesser" communities to become entrepreneurs or just college graduates. Of course, our government doesn't want to do anything to change it and chalk it up to teachers not having proper training to teach the courses they teach (hence "No Child Left Behind").

How is thinking about our nation's schools cowardly? Please, I'd really like to know. He wasn't making an anti-war statement or talking about our patriotic methods of saving the people affected by Hurricane Katrina. So how is what he said, in any way subject to that type of criticism?

Sorry to mofomojo if you're a girl. I failed to check that out.

Yeah. I just didn't feel like looking it up. So I apologized beforehand and since I called him a "he" before, I didn't think any feelings would be hurt.

You constantly demean Americans, praise Canadians because you feel they are superior, smarter, are more fair, less racist, more open minded.

You are a fucking elitist.

Wanna know something more intersting? If I said that shit about Canada Id have all you all over me, Canadians and Americans included. The fact you continue to do this when I call you out on it MANY times just shows how fucking hypocritical the world is towards Americans. We cant say anything bigoted towards the world but YOU can continue to do it and no one but me seems to give a shit. And then you justify it and then you continue to defend yourself when you have said things like "America is filled with morons."

And confidence and ego? No, I know what those are. What you are is an arrogant little ass who looks down his little 15 year old nose at all Americans for YOUR percieved superiority.

Fuckin A. Grow up you little bitch.

Well, I think I defended myself well.
