Magnetic rage

To “Health Nut” and every other alias you use…we get the point “put up or shut up.” How many times do you need to post the same thing? It’s time for a new thought…

I agree, I think those magnets are really creepy. Every time I see one on someones fridge It weirds me out and I have to leave. I feel like these people are going to drag their Bush Blow Up Doll out of their closet and start humping it in front of me or something.

it’s pacist’s like you that the Taliban are relying on….idiots like you get our troops killed….they know the more troops they kill, the more outcry there will be….essentially you are playing into their hands

Every time a Cdn. coalition soldier gets killed in Afghanistan I find one more reason to get the hell out of there. What’s the count now? 40? That’s 40 more reasons to ditch this incompetent Bush-loving fuckwad that’s in Ottawa. Maybe if enough of their pretty coloured ribbons on their cars got keyed, they’d rethink wearing their politics on their sleeves (so to speak).

You know what, i’m just sick of the magnets! The first time I saw them was in the States and I thought they were stupid there..but ya know, the’re even STUPIDER here! Once again the Canadians have to do what the Americans do. So sad.

Dear magnethater,It’s like in Vietnam. The Vietnamese knew that if they could get enough of the antiwar protestors on their side that eventually the US would be forced to pull out. The Vietnamese did this by killing American troops in huge numbers. If you don’t like the fact that our troops are fighting in Afghanistan, why not just get the fuck out of Canada?

Dear troop “supporter”,You sound like a broken American record with your ill thought out one liners about “getting out of Canada”. I mean are you flippin serious or have you just been reading too much PNAC literature while wrapped naked in the flag? Yeah man, anyone who becomes a declared enemy of the US/Canada for whatever reason (and forgetting the fact that the “bad guys” live without effective PR departments for a moment) is somehow supported by anyone who doesn’t agree with the war or in this case, tacky car decorations. Straw man garbage. “If you don’t support the war then you don’t support/hate the nation” right? Do you even know what that sort of crap reasoning is primarily associated with?Fascist Nazi Germany. Think about that the next time you defend blind allegiance.Oh and yeah, why again do the dumb magnets not say “come back alive” at least if that’s what they are suposidly intended to mean?

I think instead of “support our troops” the magnets should read “bring my baby home”. Thats how I would feel If my son was over there. In fact If my son was old enough I wouldn’t allow him to go over there. He wouldn’t be allowed in the Military. Not with Harper and Bush running things.

for such a serious topic i have to say there r some really witty people out there- Taliban worrying about us here in NS – really made me laugh.anyway- i think it’s just away for people to feel like they are not helpless knowing that there are people over there fighting for what we hope is a better way of life for those people.now i am not saying it is right or wrong to be fighting this war – but i think people should be able to take comfort where they can

a quote from the article-“The antiwar movement only served to inspire the communists to go on fighting and killing Americans and the South Vietnamese. The visits to North Vietnam by actress and antiwar activist “Hanoi Jane” Fonda, Ramsey Clark and others only served to encourage the communists to continue to imprison, beat and starve our prisoners of war.” Now do you understand????

Right back at ya. So if the war is making us less safe then tell me why again we should support these actions…”stark assessment of terrorism trends by American intelligence agencies has found that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks”-From the NY Times (check it out)

Those damn things are just as annoying as the “baby on board” window suction cup things. Like I’m supposed to be more careful around that vehicle. Maybe those morons driving those vehicles should learn how to drive better by doing things such as turning your headlights on and checking your blind spots before switching lanes!!!And people, get a grip. It’s only 40 dead. The gov went over to fight the Taliban and to help Afghanistan. Would you be calling for heads if the country actually had to go to war and lost thousands? Look at WW1 and WW2. There were days when we’d lose thousands of troops because it was war. People then understood that if you joined the army or were sent overseas, then expect deaths.

i support everybody’s right to believe what they believe.now imagine what you must believe to go to another country and possibly kill another human being. Aside from the freaks of cource, i would think you would have to believe you are doing good in the name of democracy and giving others the possiblity of a better life.i do not beleive you have to kill someone to make a point or help, however i can support other’s rights to believe what they have to do do this job.that is what i think it means to SUPPORT THE TROOPS!

I thought the Liberals signed us up for this war?

As a soldier in the Canadian Forces, I am appalled by by the lack of support, due to the lack of understanding. I would like to think that I speak for many other soldiers when I say we are not looking for anyone to support the mission, but support the sacrifices ae as soldier and our familes are making for this mission. When I see the “little things” that people are doing i.e. yellow ribbon magnets, red shirts on Fridays, or even a thank you from someone on the street, I know that regardless of your political views you care for the troops.

What a lefty comment, what do you think the liberals would have done different, told the troops to stand there and get shot? It’s a war. I don’t like it either, but don’t tell me the liberals would have kept it stickly to peace keeping, get real.

Anyone who believes the liberals and conservatives (and even the NDP these days) would do much differently on the overall political/economic front is an idiot. Outside of a few domestic social policy differences both parties are very much the same and are indicative of a general slide to the right in Canadian politics that has been happening for years now. Sure the fanitical Christians like the Cons more and the urban lefties prefer the Libs but seriously…..they are as fooled as most people. Tell me where the big policy gaps are that define these parties. Let’s focus on the issue at hand and stop playing parties like the Americans do so much because it’s pointless.

*sign* Once again soldier guy, you miss the point. I don’t feel any animosity toward people serving in the forces nor do I wish them harm OK? Got it? But because they signed up for a job that brought them to places with car bombs and dusty air certainly doesn’t make them “heros” or anyone to be thanked for squat. You obviously believe that people should be thanking some soldier for shooting person X in country X simply because the government tells you that it’s a great and glorious mission and I doubt very much you’ll ever crack open your mind to see otherwise.Thankfully, the official military line doesn’t matter much to many people besides those who refuse to think. If you want a big hug and a thank you from anyone then give us a reason at least.

Oh come one soldier guy. You really want me to post on that site and upset a bunch of army wives? Let me know and I will if you think it would be constructive. Cats? What?

I am also a Soldier in the Canadian Army and I do not want you to think by having the ribbons is in any way making a political statement. The ribbons are not to support the mission or to validate our governments decision to put us there in the first place. It is first and foremost for the soldiers and their families to recognize their sacrifices and efforts no matter what region of the world they are in.It is unfortunate to see what is being shown by the media regarding the Canadian Forces and its mission in Afghanistan. Our involvement, wasn’t initally an offensive shoot em up type mission. In fact it was about bringing stability and reconstruction efforts to Afghanistan.also having served one tour in Afghanistan, it was nice knowing that the PEOPLE back home were thinking of us. It made it just a little easier to be away from home

Gratitude? Why? Look “open your eyes”, like I said, any soldier that is defending our nation deserves respect, a thank you, etc but do a little reading yourself and you might come to a different understanding of the role of everyday citizens in this case.”these people are doing this because they support their country”…so some probably believe that but so f*cking what? Most military people join for other reasons than “defending the homeland”, they have no say in where they go or what they do and you expect me to have gratitude simply for these guys doing their job? You might as well expect me to walk into Revenue Canada and start handing out roses to all the tireless public servants helping to make our lives better!Gad, get real will you. I personally hope the soldiers get the heck out of there ASAP and without more deaths but I am not going to simply march down the gangplank of mindless patriotism and start thanking anyone for their involvement in a mission that has no positive bearing on any of our lives. What if we sent troops into central america to prop up Canadian corporate interests? How about if we participated in an agressive American invasion of say…Burma? Do we all line up to thank the troops then regardless? Are you that indoctrinated?Get educated yourself pal because you seem to just be spouting off propaganda lines devoid of real thinking.

ps it is more likely that we attacked in an american false flag operation than by afghani’s, unless of course our presence in their country continues

I have served in the CF(the navy to be more persice) for 6 years since i have been in i have done a 6 month deploment to the middle east to board suspected vesseles carrying wepons and suplies ment for terrorism as well as terrorist so no we are not fighting in our own countrey but for every load of weapons and every arrest we make it is one less way for the terroist to attack canada and our allies and as well as my counterparts in the army not only are they doing what i do they are also shuting down terrorist camps that train hundreds even thousands of terroist so to you who say we are not protecting our country think about that for a minute… and to those who say we are fighting a american war we have lost many canadians in terroist attacks around the world including the wtc so yes this is an american war and a canadian one and a british one and a german one etc….
