That debt will be cancelled when we save you from Sharia law. China doesn't pay cash, they just deduct it from Walmarts bill.

I think that the incidental nuclear deterrent the US provides to Canada is probably being considered as payment at this point. That should be worth a couple billion barrels of oil per warhead.

Missals are not your concern, suitcases are. Anywhere, any time, any place, and that is impossible to defend against no matter how much illegal eavesdropping wiretapping you do. Missal defence is a useless way of spending a buck, a buck you do not have.

Did I do relatively ok for my first redneck bounce here?

(I may act as if I am indifferent to affirmation or not, shhhh, I like it)

I would say on a base of one to ten, I did a six.

No, you continued to misspell "missile" after being mocked for it and that removed two points.

Actually, weeding out the spell checkers, I am one for one, so far.
I give myself four points.

I think he means Missal, like in a book of religious ceremony and doctrine.

Those can be quite dangerous when lobbed at a country, you know?

Did I mention I am dyslexic? Word’s spell-check does not pick up errors such as missals. To them it is spelt properly, but they do not know it is the wrong properly spelt word.

Next time you are in town, Undertoad, I will show you the seedier side of Montreal. It is not in the tourist guides. Are you into seedier?

Don't worry. ZippyT's spelling makes you look really good.

And we love our ZippyT. There's a point at which it becomes endearing, you know?

dov is kinda bugging even me now. Relax, ya Canuck ya. I get so tired of furriners coming in here and taking that stance right away. Go fix your own country and then enlighten us all, OK? Jeez.

That is my stance, now or then.
Did I miss the newbies must stick to Pollyanna, for six months, or at the discretion of the cells hierarchy, in cells rulebook?

relax. don't do it. Don't have to stick to Pollyanna. I said fix your own country and then come tell us how to run ours. Obviously your fellow countrymen and women are screwed enough to vote for the conservative, bush-loving blokes. Fix that.

It’s an impotent minority Government we voted in, equals status quo, which is fine with me and I appreciate your concern.

We will not become Blairish Bush puppies.

Our Conservatives are relative to your Ultra Left.

Our Liberals have tree hugging exercises every morn. Their slogan, No Tree Left Un Hugged.

(I could not do Pollyanna if my life depended on it.)

Some people enter a room, cyber or real, find themselves a safe vantage point, take notes on who is who and once they have a general idea of the people places and things, will get a toe wet, then a foot, then both, etc.

Other people, like me, enter a room, immediately push buttons, measures the responses, sits back a while and decides if this is home or not. It is my nature being a button-pushing, people studying, man.

Unbelievably, I am a funny guy. Lol

Time will tell.

(I like it here)

It wouldn’t hurt fixing my country if you paid your $8.1 billion imbalance with us.

On top of that, the $4 billion in illegal tariffs on our soft lumber you stole from us. $12.1 billion you owe us is not chicken feed and it would go far in remedying some of our meagre problems.

BTW, we have no problems. We make excellent igloos, and take care of our sled dogs.
