The comments...Um, why is everyone getting so pissy? The comments here and ESPECIALLY the twitter stream seem awfully whiny. As someone who lives in the center of the universe, it's rather interesting to hear an outsider's perspective.<br /><br />Also, I can't say I disagree with anything said in the post.<br /><br />And, I really didn't know about the NDAA/EEA thing. But it really is just an updated version of the Patriot act, which did the same thing. It's like a fun modern-day witch hunt. Point and yell "terrorist" and someone gets taken away. Come to think of it, this would be cheaper than divorce...<br /><br />Finally, this post has helped me see the light and inspired me to really do something to change things here.Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473164561879799425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118659272049199363.post-48595475653333445302012-01-18T11:33:14.029-07:002012-01-18T11:33:14.029-07:00Sadly I'm afraid I'm preaching to the choi...Sadly I'm afraid I'm preaching to the choir when it comes to posts like this.

No body wants to attack Canada because we don't incite them to violence by manipulating their governments, imposing trade embargoes, or anything of the sort. <br /><br />Sometimes, raising your voice isn't enough, especially when falling on deaf ears. I don't suppose to tell you how to live your lives. I just want you to be informed as to what is happening. If you're OK with writing a letter to a congressman, even if it won't stop the government from whatever they are going to do anyway, then so be it. <br /><br />I believe the only time I mentioned idiot was when referring to the marines peeing on someone.Not the Herohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560658711479024512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118659272049199363.post-13313368470323976122012-01-18T11:26:21.175-07:002012-01-18T11:26:21.175-07:00If you get even one legit response to this post th...If you get even one legit response to this post that says you helped them see the light and have inspired them to really do something for change, I'll dance topless in the street and send you a picture.Maresihttp://twitter.com/maresibnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118659272049199363.post-72573732603800422172012-01-18T11:21:49.931-07:002012-01-18T11:21:49.931-07:00lol, I've not been incited to do anything but ...lol, I've not been incited to do anything but want to vote for SOPA so you can't check wikipedia to get your facts on the American legal system. ;)Maresihttp://twitter.com/maresibnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118659272049199363.post-76210429428768747832012-01-18T11:17:08.578-07:002012-01-18T11:17:08.578-07:00You know what?

There's no perfect country, region or state that gets it all right. <br /><br />Are you truly, TRULY comparing the US gov't to Nazi Germany? Hmmmm. Interesting. Ok, so we've got Guantanamo bay, and now this NDAA shit. I'm not proud of either of those things. But until Canada gets its ballsack kicked by terrorists, it's hard to say what your blessed and wonderful country would do.<br /><br />I think when it comes to living our lives, all we can do is stand up, raise our voices at election times, and tell our congresspeople what we think when they do idiotic crap like this. And whether or not they listen, I still have to go to work, pay taxes, raise my kids to be good citizens, and keep the roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, and food on our table. It does neither me nor anyone else absolutely anyhing to call the rest of America idiots. In fact, when you insult people? It makes just about anyone far, FAR less likely to listen to whatever you're trying to say.<br /><br />No one ever got insulted into changing their mind, Hero.Maresihttp://twitter.com/maresibnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118659272049199363.post-29904245566129826632012-01-18T10:53:29.131-07:002012-01-18T10:53:29.131-07:00Canada has never been attacked by terrorists becau...Canada has never been attacked by terrorists because we don't try and police the world. We don't piss people off. No one is going to smash my car because I don't drive it over their sister's corpse. <br /><br />Writing your congressman is a start but a letter is pretty easy to ignore. <br /><br />Of course I'm going to paint with broad strokes. As long as you are a member of a country that has policies in place that do more harm then good and you aren't openly and actively opposing them you might as well support them. Which is what the majority of the population does. <br /><br />I would love to be more active in how America is run but sadly I can't even write a congressman a letter because I'm Canadian. I'm doing what I can by pissing off the informed to insight action and trying to get the word out.Not the Herohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560658711479024512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118659272049199363.post-76630190401908876972012-01-18T10:42:55.655-07:002012-01-18T10:42:55.655-07:00People shouldn't be scared of their government...People shouldn't be scared of their governments, governments should be scared of their people. <br /><br />You're right Natasha, not all Americans are ignorant of what is going on but most of them are. You don't believe me just go search for herpderpedia on twitter. <br /><br />In Canada when our government does something stupid they are generally removed from power. We don't wait until our rights and freedoms are being taken away left and right. <br /><br />The last western government to pass a law like the American's just did was Nazi Germany. It is a law that allows the government to control it's populace. <br /><br />What I'm getting at isn't for the informed to become more informed. It is to inform those that aren't informed and to lead them toward a better future. <br /><br />The American people have been oppressed by a government before. They rose up and fought an ugly war with England for independence.Not the Herohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560658711479024512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118659272049199363.post-46433380887655222552012-01-18T10:26:18.620-07:002012-01-18T10:26:18.620-07:00Any time you paint with a broad brushstroke and sa...Any time you paint with a broad brushstroke and say "all A is B" you make yourself look like a fool.<br /><br />I'm an American Citizen. Am I happy about things? No. Am I writing my congressmen and trying to put a stop to this shit? Yes. <br /><br />Big talk from someone who lives in a country that hasn't been attacked by terrorists. Did we overreact? Absolutely. But if someone smashed your new car to bits tomorrow, wouldn't you be incredibly pissed off and prone to overreact as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
