Living in the greatest free country in the world, that’s what he wanted to do… :hmmm:

Yup.
Just another random terrorist attack with no rhyme of reason to it, totally unrelated to anything.
 
and i presume that showing vanity and persuading that usa is the best in the entire world because one says so is alright, and making me a Canadian my country less so? I made a comment that was respectful, i am sorry you cannot except others opinions but many nations are great in gods eyes not just in my opinion one that in braces greed and self interest is the best…why post a comment if you think it wont offend someone that doesn’t share your opinion, im sorry but the kingdom of god is not the kingdom of usa…

as for what was posted, im glad he was stopped before anyone was hurt. killing by any standard is wrong, i was remarking on number 2 because you disrespect every other country by saying your country is best in the entire nation, no country can claim so, not even mine.

Not all Canadians are like that though Mary. More than enough are for sure, but there are those here who admire what American has given to the world.
You have some Canadian connections so you probably already know that, but maybe not everyone here does, so it is worth repeating.
 
i dont understand though a user posted that not all canadians feel this way, i like american people i love there warm heart and been there many times. I just took offense to branding one country the best because like a person in thet usa who loves his country, i love mine.

Thank you. I had the pleasure of living in Ontario (Caledon East) for three years when my husband was transferred there. I really enjoyed my time there and made many friends that I still stay in touch with. I had a terrible experience with the healthcare system, but that does not taint the whole country. It is beautiful and because it is your home, of course you love it. I think that is true with anyone (usually) with their own home country.

Good grief, lighten up. I think everyone feels that way (mostly) about their home country. I don’t think the poster was nor did he intend to be vain and trying to persuade you or anyone else of anything. That was his own personal opinion. The comment, put differently, might have been respectful. The words you used were not.

Sorry you feel that way. Stay around. You might find something you like.
 
For some badly needed perspective, see…

The FBI again thwarts its own Terror plot

Excerpt…

I have several observations and questions about these matters:

(1) The bulk of this latest FBI plot entailed attacks on military targets: the Pentagon, U.S. troops in Iraq, and possibly military bases. The U.S. is – as it has continuously announced to the world – a Nation at War. The Pentagon is the military headquarters for this war, and its troops abroad are the soldiers fighting it. In what conceivable sense can attacks on those purely military and war targets be labeled “Terrorism” or even illegitimate? The U.S. has continuously attacked exactly those kinds of targets in multiple nations around the world; it expressly tried to kill Saddam and Gadaffi in the wars against their countries (it even knowingly blew up an entire suburban apartment building to get Saddam, who wasn’t actually there). What possible definition of “Terrorism” excludes those attacks by the U.S. while including this proposed one on the Pentagon and other military targets (or, for that matter, Nidal Hasan’s attack on Fort Hood where soldiers deploy to war zones)?

NO, that is very true.
Sadly, Americans who have grown up in American and have enjoyed its benefits to the maximum, and yet are ashamed of what America has to offer, are as common as mud.
