I used to see it that way Jon. Then my SIL, who is a young person of the world, suggested that I should look at the stats for where they live, and then stats for where I live.
I started thinking about whether there was any truth behind the Euro view of the US.... The netherlands? So what did you conclude when you started thinking about it?

Well CB, Canada is far from being a "disaster". However, I do believe our constitution, laws, lawyers, human rights commissions and general political correctness greatly assist anyone willing to take themselves and everyone around them out.
Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

Germany is the moral and muscle of Europe today. It was the last country under an authoritarian thug to try to rid the world of a religious faith by gas, garrotting, meat hooks, executions and buried alive. King, I often disagree with you but always admire your voice of calm reason. However, to call Germany Europe's moral authority is bizarre, not reasonable, especially from someone who remembers the 1940's. As Tom Lehrer sang, "We taught them a lesson in 1918 and they have hardly bothered us since then". Germans will always be Germans, with their arrogance and their overweening certainty of the ubervolks' superiority. Their current lunatic leader may have invited the entire Muslim world to invade Europe, but the they will be back, with their gas, garrotes and meathooks. A rearming Germany's 'muscle' is far more frightening for the world than the jihadists and the Russians put together.

Dal, give Little Potato some time. His puppet masters, Katie Telford and Gerald Butts, having screwed Ontario, are only warming up.

I was thinking of Germany today, LGF. Wherever they are in the world today, they're the loudest like the Americans used to be, and often hard to love. We seem to be in the same pew there. There seems a surpassing and genuine nobless oblige which I admire from the pastor's daughter. More than anything for me is how it faced up to its past with generous reparations and opened its borders to all comers in its first post-war constitution until the invasion of jobless and dispossessed led to amendments, as it is doing now with refugees. I haven't seen a rearming muscle, if anything the opposite, and they chose the most peaceful sector of Afghanistan and Canada the toughest. I doubt a duelling scar among them.

Hey, James, Gerald Butts is a Bay Boy, assigned by Trudeau to button-down Bannon. Good choice, don't you think? And I'm no Liberal.

Don't kid yourself King. Butts assigned Trudeau the job of figurehead. It's Butt's government.

Give me a break. You are a Troll, and a Liberal. Hey, James, Gerald Butts is a Bay Boy, assigned by Trudeau to button-down Bannon. Good choice, don't you think? And I'm no Liberal.

Good thing you folks don't have a conservative at the helm. Otherwise, you'd be our little putin on the northern border. Boy, I remember the good ole days when lefties would name their kids after soviet super heros. Is it okay to hum macedonian marching music, or is that offensive?

A "war" on terror should be conducted like a war--surviel, infiltrate mosques, deport, do NOT allow combatants for ISIS to return-if they do return shoot them for treason. Execute the non uniformed combatants in Guantanamo. If Islam is peaceful, how come everyone is afraid to criticize it...if Christianity is violent, why does every leftist feel free to take a shot at it? And why do we obsess over a few dozen dead in London, and never raise our voices for the five hundred thousand Christians in recent years exterminated in the middle east? We are about as weak as they think we are. We should show them no mercy. I wonder, will it take a thousand terrorist attacks before you decide you have to run them out of your country after all? They have been at war with the west since the days of Thomas Jefferson and the shores of Tripoli. And Sharia systematically opposes the bill of rights! Google it up line by line. Temporary cease fire of rant...Steve
