Hey all
first - As the mods closed the other thread this thread is not going to deal at all with homosexuality in the military as I dont think there needs to be more debate about that right now.
This is in regards to S_Baker's comment
I have to say I disagree, Canada and America are friends. I have many friends who are American. It is a friends right, and more importantly their duty, to at times question choices and policies they feel to be bad or wrong.
I am pro-American, I have visted the country and met so many amazing people.
I love my country, Canada, and think it is the best country in the world.
The fact is both countries have many problems, neither is perfect by a long shot, and there is always room to improve.
There is a huge difference between constructive criticism and bashing, I feel there should always be room for constructive criticism. For example I disagree with American gun laws but would not say "stupid gun loving yanks will all kill each other" as this is short sighted bashing which will accomplish nothing other than offending people. I feel strongly that disagreement over laws or policies should be encouraged between our two countries.
As long as it is done in a civil manner and I have a chance to respond civilly I would love to hear any criticisms Americans have of this country.
If you cant critize your friends then what is the world coming to?
Mods if you find this thread pointless or think I shouldnt have posted bc the other thread got locked feel free to get rid of this thread.
Cheers

I personally don't care what Canada does, stay withdraw, that is a political decision for your government and people. I look at it this way, If I had my neighbor sticking his nose over the fence telling me how to raise my children or cut my grass, etc I would tell him to go * himself.
