That's why we want our independence from Canada, so we can declare war on everybody! :P

And it's not Québec they don't like, it's because we speak french. They don't realise that if our forefathers left France in the 16th century, it's for a good reason! :lol:

But if you felt the need to answer my post, is it because you disagree with the fact that you have to take care not to hurt anybody, or with my opinion that Bush is a moron?
Hi comrade i`m from Quebec too and i do not want to live under the PQ`s dictatorship,like me you know very well what will happened if Quebec seperate from Canada,Landry or the jerk who will replace him will deport every non french speaking people out of Quebec.

The Germans do NOT hate America. They disagree on several points but this is far from hatred.
Well, it's hard to tell some times. Especially after one of the German ministers called our president Hitler.

Of course, you're all going to have to take up a bigger slack now that New Zealand is going the way of the Federation from Star Trek.
I Trust that you are not serious with that comment?. The American adminisatration just cannot handle the fact that PM Clark does not put out the way PM Howard does.
Heaven forbid that a democratic nation choose its policies and not have them dictated from Washington.
..........

I was referring to the fact that New Zealand has been scrapping it's military, and that Australia will have to take up the greater slack in the region, considering the active defense treaty between NZ, US, and Oz.

I care little for New Zealand's support of the US. You Kiwis are a sovereign nation, you can decide for yourselves what you want to do. Doesn't make you right, but that's how life goes.

If you're talking about the Bundeskanzler then no, he did not make any such comparisons.
The only person to do so was Hertha Däubler-Gmelin and she was thrown out of the parliament for this remark.

I don't know why many Americans think the germans hate them, the majority certainly does not. Granted, currently the two countries don't agree on several issues but it's not as if the population is going out burning American flags.

Do you really believe that bullshit or your joking? Because I don't a smiley in your post... Sure, the PQ has made a lot of bad choice in the health care system, and most of the laws on languages are borderline on fascism, but deportation?

Anyway, the subject is "Does the World hates the US?". My answer is no, much of the World loves American culture, junkfood and people! Except when your government and media seem to be in a state of paranoïa. To say Chirac hates the US is ridiculous.

That pretty much sums up what I think.
