That's a rather ridiculous statement for you to make considering stonecold and his attacks on people. If anyone should be ejected it would be him, but you didn't even flinch about that.... in fact, you agreed with him.
Sure I agreed with stonecold about the fees no big secret there. Why do you think he should be "ejected"? Should everyone be ejected for giving their opinion? You sound like Bush saying anyone against the war is unamerican.
No one has put words in your mouth. You are angry because you can't substantiate your claim that Canada has a higher rate of fraud at Yahoo than does any other country.
Why should I be angry? I never said Canada had a higher amount of fraud than other countries, you did.
Perhaps you should refrain from making unsubstantiated claims if you want people to respect you.
If you think I am here for your respect your crazy lol.

There was alot of fraud from Canada, but dont blame yahoo for it.
Sorry RB but I remember the history that led up to the changes. Why else do you think they banned canadians from the US site?
You're going to have to do better than that. I am quite certain your ego will not allow you to admit the bigotry in yourself that you have exposed, and I still don't see any proof to your claims that there was a lot of fraud coming out of Canada on the Yahoo site.

The only thing I am going to do today is go shopping to heal my ego, and release all the bigotry in my wallet. lol.

Anything that says "Made in Canada", including souveniers made "locally" in places like Banff and Toronto, all come from Hong Kong

RB you are correct Bush cant be trusted. New polls show Americans support the Democrats on the war and economy. With the stock market tanking 100 points daily, if someone doesnt do something.......

BW ... I don't bother following the "Bush v. The World" news anymore ... I change the channel when it comes up.
But, I did think he had gone ahead and lost his marbles totally this morning when, on the way to work, I noticed the cost of gasoline had dropped 10 cents/litre overnight. Figured the Iraqi oil had changed hands

Gas is $1.35-$1.42 here in the east. When Clinton was in office gas was $.99 most of the time. Heating oil is to rise 40%+ this winter. The good ol' oil boys in TX are making a fortune thanks to their buddy.

BW,
You must be kidding on the gas prices. When Clinton was in office, gas prices went over $2.00 a gallon. I wasn't until Bush came into office that gas prices became reasonable again. We had some 99 cent gas a few months after Bush came into office, but it has been in the $1.40 range for most of the time since. As far as fuel oil raising, it always does going into the winter season. That is how the boys on Wall Street make their money. In the spring, the price will drop like a rock too. This is the first time in a long while I have respectfully have disagreed with you.
Anyway, I am from the USA and Yahoo don't do Canada. Aint life grand.

Yeah, those 8 consectutive years of Clinton/Gore era prosperity were sheer hell to endure. Now we can be safe and cozy in another Bush recession/depression. Thank Gawd for that!

tooltimes ... it won't matter anyway. Once Bush and his war monger buddies get their way and light up the skies of the world, everything else will be meaningless.
After all, he's convinced that Saddam has nuclear weapons, and he's the POTUS. POTUS's don't make mistakes, right? One of those mushroom clouds in New York, another in Los Angeles and a 3rd in Washington oughta finish us all off. Who will be left to care about the economy or the price of gas
Seriously, I don't think Bush has the ability to anticipate past next Thursday. If he was the Boss during the Cuban Missile Crisis, we would all be speaking a Russian/Spanish dialect today, and saluting Uncle Fidel every morning.
OTOH, those Cuban cigars are a great smoke ...

I know these posts belong in the AW Round Table forum but while were at it and no one seems to care about this forum anyways ....
Can't everything that is being said about the Iraqi dictator also be said about the Libyan, Syrian, Iranian, North Korean, and Cuban leaders as well? What makes Iraq so special? Sure, he's as crazy as an outhouse rat but the others are pretty bad mentally as well.
No matter what the US should wait till after the coming elections to do anything drastic.

stonecold613 the last 2 years were the worst here in PA for gas prices. We dont want a "bidville" economy!
RB, yes that is per gallon regular grade.
Tooltimes I think this war is over oil, not saddam. Like you said why pick on Iraq when there are worse countries. And what happened to Osama?

Yea, and what about dat dere French guy in Canada eh
( if the USA really wanted to simply get rid of Saddam only, does anyone really believe he would still be alive? )
The difference between Osama and Saddam is that my American friends might get a choice of which country they want to live in when they are conscripted to be part of the occupying populations. On the one hand, you have Afghanistan, which is hot, dusty, and full of camel jockey pull-starts who whine at Mecca all day, and on the other hand, you have Iraq, which is hot, dusty, and full of camel jockey pull-starts who whine at Mecca all day.

There will never be conscripted or drafted armies like there was in the Vietnam war ever again. We can have entered into the smart bomb/weapnary era. The US has changed the old rules on foreign political leaders being exempt from assasination. The US simply can not kill Saddam because he is too elusive and used too many doubles.
One thing that I do not understand about the probable coming war with Iraq is the huge cost that the US is suppose to pay. Why? They have a huge percentage of the world's oil supply in Iraq. At the end of the short war why not take 25% of the oil wells and have all of their profits repay the US treasury untill the war debt is repayed? Then give half of those oil wells to the United Nations to pay for anti-terrorism causes. And divide the damn country up while we're at it the same way the Germany was divided at the end of WWW2. The Kurds should get their own country with a lot of oil wells to repay them for all the evil done to them by the Iraqi dicatator.

I'm not talking about armies, but rather normal people like you and I. Someone has to occupy these countries and keep the wells running after Bush has obliterated the natives

The military can occupy the country till they get a new government. That's their job not ordinary citizens.

Are you talking about a nuclear explosion event by Iraqi? A few precision air strikes and the country of Iraq is in chaos. Loss of communications and Saddam losses his grip on the people in a few short days. The Iraqi military cuts a deal to surrender right away. The only joker in the deck is an Iraqi nuclear bomb and it's a sure bet that Israel would be the place that item is aimed.

That would be a nice clean and quick fix, but, like I said before ... if all Bush wants to do is take out Saddam (the guy who tried to kill Bush Sr), he could have done that a long time ago. If he wants to take over the Iraqi oil supply (his real motive), he's going to have to wipe out the entire population to get it. Then, he's going to have to protect it and work it, which is where you guys come in.
It's a sticky situation, particularily when Bush is so stubborn and single-minded. He is going to go down in history as the guy who destroyed the world if he is allowed to continue. Even a child gives up asking for a new toy when he has been told "NO" 6 times ... why can't Bush?

Bush's real motive may be to safeguard the country's oil supply but you pick a worst case scenario of killing every Iraqi citizen that is not realistic at all. Once the military collapses, which should happen very quickly, it's all over. Saddam reigns with an iron fist but if he is not on TV every night with his stupid grin the masses will quickly lose their fear and admiration of him.
Bush the Elder supposed that the people of Iraq would quickly get a new leader after the humiliating Gulf War but that was a foolish supposition. It's like a battered wife getting married to another wife beater, you'd never think that would happen but it is a very common occurance.
I really think the US military establishment wanted to keep some "evil doers" hanging around to justify their budgets and very existance but now they are trying to clean house.
