This is why I was keeping out of this until things started to flow from both sides.

I remember a month ago or so, I got into an argument with someone from the US about their conduct in Afghanistan, Iraq and the current government in the US...... it ended up pretty much how this is starting.... before I knew it I had people from the US bitching about the faults of Canada, and vise versa..... the problem was, that the people from the US in question were trying to pull facts out of their arse, before they knew what they were talking about..... I wasn't trying to say my country was better, nor trying to bash the US or it's citizens. Constructive criticism can sometimes be taking the wrong way, it seems.

It's the whole "My country is better then your's" mentality, that neither side can win, because if one country was truly better then another in all aspects that truly mattered, then you'd think all other countries would follow suit and conform to their ways..... they don't, because they're not, therefore the argument is void of any real end in sight.

The only thing that can come from this is who can argue their point better then the other..... because they can argue their point better, doesn't make them right, however.


I don't live in Saudi Arabia or USA... I was just refuting STW..
