Answer» what's the friendliest?YELLED at who? Quote from: Laska on April 04, 2009, 10:44:00 PM Obviously not this place I think you're trying to make something out of nothing... They posted a link and Carbon did the right thing removing it... He also informed them of our Forum Rules. CH is not a "SOCIAL networking" site. There are PLENTY of alternatives. It doesn't matter. the post was spam (or so it sounds) OMG! the improper pronoun was used! NOOO! *sigh* I seem to be hated among all the spammers. That's good! This all started because of this: Quote from: macdad- on March 30, 2009, 11:39:01 AM ..And besides this is probably the most friendliest computer help forum. .. I believe its locking time...Or as Patio would put it: "Just let it DIE a natural death..."That is my line and that is spam there. UMMMM ...... yeah I think it should to but lets not compancate over differences after all arn't we all??? macdad your good at older pc's and laska good with advice at times.... Quote from: squall_01 on April 06, 2009, 10:39:50 AM That is my line and that is spam there. Ummmm ...... yeah I think it should to but lets not compancate over differences after all arn't we all??? macdad your good at older pc's and laska good with advice at times.... How did I get sucked into this conversation?? Quote from: macdad- on April 06, 2009, 09:41:34 AM "Just let it die a natural death..." Thats why. Topic Dead, leave it be Well then its offical. Sorry Just wanted to say that so it can go away then. |

Solve : Example of a forum turned into farce due to lack of moderation? |
|
Answer» I own a Eureka vacuum sweeper. I wanted to find a forum where vacuum cleaners are discussed. I found one which I soon discovered is just ruined as a serious forum on vacuum cleaners due to what appears to be a total absence of moderation. If I've stirred your CURIOSITY, see http://www.vacuumcleanerforum.com/ I've never seen anything quite this bad in a forum. LOL Check out the battery charger for it mightn't be chargeing it fully, but if it STARTS then stops and restarts again u could have a faulty wire in the workings. sit down have a nice wine, scream at the ceiling then take it back to the supplier or trash it and buy a different brand. Never heard of shark brand, in oz. we have a Snake brand Electrics. Ciao 4 now an ANSWER to one someones post or a way to get people drunk?? I think he was trying to ask them out. "Say, babe, since you won't be vacuuming- just thought I'd let you know, My vacuum works fine and my carpet is dirty." That sucks!!... Get it? Vacuum Cleaner Forum, Sucks!!I agree with BC_Programmer. In addition to all that Vacuum Stuff, would it be nice if the folks asking CH Forum for help to use Bl**dy well the provided Spell Check facility before firing off their question and demanding answers SAP? Some people think that CH Forum is a kind off Free for All, using Bad Grammar, Bad Spelling, writing the word "I" in lowercase, or doing their writing all in uppercase. Some foreign languages do not have letters such as "l, P, R, E". But the writer(s) could at least have the politeness to re-read their question, and Spell Check. Unknowingly to them (I assume), they make a Farce out of CH Forum. If the "Subject" is not spelled co(w)rrectly, or in CAPITALS, I don't even bother to read it. This is maybe off-topic, but....just could not help to throw it in. And complaining about it is the other end of the spectrum <- Hopefully you have a sense of humor here. It's the Internet. Not life and death. If they use bad grammar or are over-needy then just don't reply. Simple as that.Are they for real. That site is just so backwards... It blows. CH in no way endorses that minors use the link to this site. |

Solve : New Star Trek trailer posted? |
|
Answer» Looks amazing! Sure you'll agree even if you're not a Trekie. Nobody else here cares about this movie? I saw this trailer when it first came out, LOL I didn't realise there was a topic on CH on it. This one would surely kick *censored* with modern graphics. how the heck did I forget good old spock- well let's see here, there are several obvious candidates. 1. a small bobblehead figurine This would be the cheapest. whenever spock speaks some other member of the cast sets the bobble head in motion. The camera stays fixed to it until it stops, at which point the other cast MEMBERS will generally agree with the unsaid logic that would have been presented. This also saves money for the writers, since they don't need to research anything to make up a believable logic circuit. 2. clips from previous movies/episodes Also a money saver- instead of actually having a person play spock they could just cut and paste bits of other movies as appropriate. For example whenever they ask him about something while offscreen it could simply show the portion of the movie where spock is dying in that chamber and puts his hand against the glass and gives the SYMBOL. 3. Arnold Schwarzenegger yes I know, two people played by the same actor? Actually, it would be cheap as well. just have him don some ear prosthetics and scamper over to wherever spock is. that would make for an amusing show in my book. "kirk" asks spock something, runs over to "spocks" location, grabs the ear prosthetics, replies, takes them off, runs back to the captains chair, etc. etc. 4. Al Gore Constantly bringing up the issue of universal warming, Spock will constantly try to convince everybody to plant trees on the moon and collect soda cans from the moons of jupiter, namely Io. Of course being that they are supposed to be exploring the galaxy they might find their funding cut after the federation realizes they've been lolly-gagging around the moons of the solar system fruitlessly planting trees on lifeless planets. 5. John goodman another money saving move, which WORKS better since scotty and spock won't generally appear in the same scenes, easing logistics concerns.Of course, perhaps I just want to see him with POINTY ears. Also seeing spock consuming a whole turkey would somehow be amusing.wow ! I think it looks great. Hope I can see it when it comes out. I do not think that the CHARACTERS will be the same due to different people playing the parts but also more then 50 yeears later the times have changed and the "style" of movie making has changed with it like more violence, more extreme action, etc.Early review of movie |

Solve : Numpty Award Application? |
|
Answer» Turned my computer and monitor on. Had breakfast. Went to check computer, blank screen, MOVED mouse, blank screen, turned monitor off and on, blank screen, - - - then noticed that whilst I thought I had turned the computer on it was in fact off. What?I think numpty is equivilent to idiot. Quote Please send the Numpty of the Week award to, Pantherman, Kent, England I'll send it along as soon as I find it! "Numpty of the Week award"? Mythical award from gross stupidity. Or as we say in London, "Missing the bleedin' obvious"! Been out all day so could not clarify. So, it's different than being a "git"? Would not "git" have to be preceded by "old"? Dam! That might apply as WELL! LOL You and me, both... Quote from: pantherman on May 14, 2009, 03:32:15 AM Turned my computer and monitor on. Had breakfast. Went to check computer, blank screen, moved mouse, blank screen, turned monitor off and on, blank screen, - - - then noticed that whilst I thought I had turned the computer on it was in fact off.

Answer» QUOTE from: CARBON Dudeoxide on April 06, 2009, 09:49:43 AMTwitter looks like it pretty much sucks Maybe not when Google buy it............. I had a blog once. It took three flushes to get rid of it. Quote from: macdad- on April 06, 2009, 09:45:29 AM 2005-2006 New Evil: MySpace ALREADY covered, my friend. hereI read his blog, just was trying to remember the link for it. Thanks for the link Dont have ONE there is just to much to do. Besides no one wants to know what i eat for lunch . Quote from: Dustinator on April 08, 2009, 10:10:28 PM Dont have one there is just to much to do. Besides no one wants to know what i eat for lunch . That's alright, they can just go to twitter and see what everybody else is doing, with such thought-provoking things like "I like tuna mmm" and "delicious ice cream" how can you go wrong LOL. if somebody is blogging in the form you describe- their doing it wrong. the way I think of it is something like an OPINION piece about something. |

Solve : State Nixes Woman's Request For Tofu License Plate? |
|
Answer» http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/19121377/detail.html [size="4"]ILVTOFU[/size] Can Be Seen As Obscene, Dept. Of Revenue Says Is that a statement professing a vegetarian's LOVE of curdled soybean milk or an obscene statement? The Colorado Department of Revenue said it could be viewed as the latter, and won't allow a Centennial woman to personalize her license plate with the phrase ILVTOFU. Kelley Coffman-Lee, a mother of three, said she BELIEVES the Department of Revenue missed the intended healthy message, "I-LV-TOFU," and misread it as the far steamier "I-LV-TO-F-U." "I love tofu; it doesn't mean anything bad," Coffman-Lee told 7NEWS Tuesday. She said she stopped consuming any animal products four years ago, and was a vegetarian for nine years prior to that. "I'm very expressive. I'm anti-fur, anti-rodeo, anti-circus when they come to Denver, and I thought, 'Here's a chance to be positive and say I love something," Coffman-Lee said. She explained she got the idea after hearing about a woman who was denied from customizing a similar plate in California. When she received initial approval, Coffman-Lee said a friend with the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal offered to have the organization pay the $60 fee. Word came later through a phone call that the request had been rejected because some might find it obscene, she said. "Tofu is a word. I haven't said anything bad. I think it's crazy they denied it," said Coffman-Lee. "It's not a dirty, evil food. It's very wholesome," she added. "We have nothing bad to say about (Coffman-Lee's) love of tofu," said Mark Couch, spokesman for Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles. "We’re concerned about others who may misread the plate." Couch provided 7NEWS with a copy of the state statute 42-3-211(5) relating to the issue. It reads, "There shall be no duplication of registration numbers, and the department may refuse to issue any combination of letters or numbers that carry connotations offensive to good taste and decency, are misleading, or duplicate any other license plates provided for in this article." Couch added the Department of Revenue utilizes a review panel to assess applications for vanity plates. The F-U combination is not allowed under established guidelines, Couch said. The panel has also devised a list of 250 prohibited three-letter combinations that may arise on randomly issued license plates. (See listing of 3-letter configurations banned by state.) Controversy over clever combinations on plates is nothing new at DMV offices across the country. "Let me reach for my, 'neverending STORY’ file," chuckled Tom Jacobs, a spokesman for the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles. Jacobs said Coffman-Lee's plate would likely be approved under Nevada's Revised Statutes. "Because it's in context," Jacobs told 7NEWS. "The letters F-U are not banned across the board. They can be connected to other words that are acceptable." Jacobs said the question considered is, "How is someone going to respond?" He added a board was recently created to evaluate license plate complaints in Nevada. One such plate reading, 3RDFNGR, was disallowed because of it’s reference to an obscene gesture. A DMV official from Oregon said the issue has gone all the way to the supreme court. Dave House, spokesman for Oregon's DMV said one driver, who was a wine connoisseur, was prohibited from having "VINO" on his license plate because of its potential suggestion of drinking and driving. The high court ruled in the DMV's favor, citing that the state owns the plate, House said. "We can let the public have some flexibility and still apply standards to it," he said. House, who sits on a panel of staff members that reviews application requests in Oregon, added he would likely deny Coffman-Lee’s ILVTOFU vanity plate. PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said the Colorado Department of Revenue should reconsider the request. "The DMV could do a lot of good by reconsidering its decision and allowing more people to discover the joy of soy," Reiman said. Coffman-Lee said she can't imagine people complaining about her license plate. "Anyone who'd call-in about that needs to get a life," she said. While she doesn't intend to take her issue to court, Coffman-Lee said she has no plans to stop voicing her opinions -- about tofu or anything else. "I think I'll stick with the number combination right now and get more bumper stickers," she said. Quote "Anyone who'd call-in about that needs to get a life," she said. And yet she's the one that thinks a license plate is going to make a difference ENOUGH to go through all sorts of legal hurdles? Does she expect a driver behind her to see the license plate, "hmm... I love tofu..." "alright kids, that's it! We're vegetarian now!" a true vegetarian only eats dead twigs and perhaps the odd acorn. Anything else might be alive. I mean, have you seen the cruel mistreatment of tomatoes? handled roughly, graded amongst their peers- judged by their appearance... THE INJUSTICE!She should just pay a couple of dollars and have a window decal made proclaiming her dis-taste of meat (take that any way you want). that would work as well. Not sure when a license plate became the sole way to convey an opinion.I't took me a few seconds to ACTUALLY get what It could have meant. Quote from: Wefro_froyas on April 13, 2009, 09:53:17 AM I't took me a few seconds to actually get what It could have meant.Lol...same! I could see where people could see that as something else but the only people that would see it in the other way probably wouldnt get offended by it. I say let her get it Quote from: computeruler on April 14, 2009, 02:04:03 PM I could see where people could see that as something else but the only people that would see it in the other way probably wouldnt get offended by it. I say let her get itExactly the same as this picture! This pic is only sick if you are!O K i'am sick , and i thank that she should be allowed to get (I lv tofu) if it turns her on , there well be a lot of guy's and (some girls ) telling her thay like it to as thay pass her on the road. |

Solve : Have you seen the spiral-shaped energy-saving light bulbs? Have you tried them?? |
|
Answer» I agree with ZYLSTRA. I don't like the color of them. They give me a headache. Unfortunately, my dad insists on putting them everywhere in the house (including the bathroom... as if it wasn't dark enough already). But, I use a regular incandescent bulb in the lamp i use to light my room. What are you on about? Homeless don't have light bulbs, silly! go to new york city, chicago, los angeles, any big city place, they flock to the warmth and confort a good 75 watt bulb produces, if it's under a street vent, look out, no room to SPARE!We'll keep some of the old type lights around for their sake. Besides, the homeless folks would probably be tempted to steal the more costly energy-saving lights and sell them on the black market. SO what are those that have energy-saving lights and where is the place I can buy that in black market.,.? _________________ I have replaced most almost all the bulb's in my house with the mini spiral flouresent's. The light output seemed a bit less to me, so I used the 75 watt replacement's instead of the 60's. They knocked about $20.00 a month off the power bill. 2012 will bring the end to incandesent's here in the US. Anyone that doesn't like the spiral flouresent's had better buy a lifetime supply before then or it will be too late. Quote from: patio on April 17, 2007, 07:57:07 PM Doesn't the wavelength of the light make the real difference here ? ? ?Yes. Incandescent are broad spectrum. Florescent have spectrum peaks. Incandescent lights have a lot of output at the low end. The infrared. You can't see it, so it is wasted energy. Sometimes called "warm", standard tungsten bulbs tend to make things more red-orange colored. The florescent types have a lot of blue output and they tend to do funny things to colors. A lady with very red lipstick may appear to have purple lips. The newer ones have better color balance. Quote from: 49 M on May 06, 2009, 10:26:50 PM 2012 will bring the end to incandesent's here in the US. Anyone that doesn't like the spiral flouresent's had better buy a lifetime supply before then or it will be too late. Can you back this up? I have these energy saving bulbs and they do take a little time to get to their full brightness. This can be a benefit when you first wake up and switch on the light as you don't get immediately BLINDED. In the ceiling fan in my living room I happen to have one 60 watt energy saving bulb and one 60 watt normal bulb and I have noticed no difference in how bright they get.I'm just relieved that this 2 year old Topic is FINALLY getting the attention it deserves... Dang it man. I usually look at the dates and don't bother with really old topics. I guess this one got by me. Haha this is ollldd! Well I guess i will answer anyways. I got a couple of em and they are not bright enough for me. Quote from: patio on May 07, 2009, 06:28:32 AM I'm just relieved that this 2 year old Topic is finally getting the attention it deserves...Of course! They are Long Life bulbs! Quote from: patio on May 07, 2009, 06:28:32 AM I'm just relieved that this 2 year old Topic is finally getting the attention it deserves...It seems I was the only one who caught the fact that the guy who replied to it was a SPAMMER Right up my alley...good... YOU KNOW THOSE PLASMA BALLS? You can buy them at science stores and such, when you put your hand on it the beans focus on your hands? it's pretty cool. Anyways. When you put a Fluorescent bulb on the ball, it will light up. I'm not sure why.. Look's like I'm gonna have to pay a little more attention to the dates! lol BTW - The 2012 phaseout of regular light bulb's was announced on our local news a good while back when they were talking about the analog tv signal phaseout. That's all the info I have on it & I haven't really searched for any more. |

Solve : Who is the economy hurting the most?? |
Answer» QUOTE from: mroilfield on May 06, 2009, 01:30:35 AMIf you need assistance keeping CH alive you just let us know. Shouldn't be need but thanks for the offer. If things GET too drastic I'll just get a temporary job. I rather think many of us would want you to let us know, and see what sort of arrangements might be made. I think we'd be pleased to help. The US ECONOMY has been on a slow downward slide since the "dot-com" bubble burst back in the early part of the decade. The stock market looked good for a long time because it's been "propped" by a lot of foreign money. Unemployment USUALLY "lags" everything else, so by the time unemployment NUMBERS look bad, you're pretty much "tanked," anyway. Even if it is a matter of personal responsibility, and pulling oneself up by one's proverbial bootstraps, there are far fewer opportunities to do so, whether your collar is blue or white. |

Answer» HEY, Any of you guys on twitter? I know Mr Hope is but anyone else?NOPE, but I think I'll JOIN someday for the sake of it.Yeah I try to twitter although haven't been making any new posts recently. Too busy to twitter that I'm busy. You can add your twitter on your profile too. <-----what is twitter?? heard of it but dont really understand itTwitter is a social networking site, it allows you to follow people you like and also allows you to have followers, It works on simply one question , and that is 'what are you doing right now?'....people keep updating the answer to this question.It sounds lame, sorry I have to disagree with you on this. But like if your bathing with bunnies who would else want to know that. Not going against your posting just the whole point of the site when you got myspace and such. Includeing this but its not all that socialble, but we can SIT and talk and drink our coffee when we need to.LOL "Bathing with bunnies" whats wrong with that? They dirty need to be cleaned or cleaner.Nothing- I just imagined somebody in the bathtub with a bunch of rabbits. Quote It sounds lame, sorry I have to disagree with you on this.That's perfectly alright Quote Not going against your posting just the whole point of the site when you got myspace and such.Actually my point here was not to promote twitter or encourage twitter, I saw the option here and wanted to know who else was on twitter from CH. That was all that was to it It is definitely a lil boring on twitter I must admit.Well that rules me out then but yeah didnt know if you were into that or not. |

Solve : reloading all drivers after reformatting? |
|
Answer» Can anyone give me detalied info on how to load wireless drivers ETC after i reformatted my WIFES laptop and forgot to back anything up am a total beginner so be gentledo you have any CD for those drivers? Quote ...laptop and forgot to back anything Well nobody needs to be harsh. Still, he is so many requests like this then after a while it does become tiresome. Windows VISTA hes good provisions for making backups and for making a restored disk for your SYSTEM. You should have done those things when you first got the computer. And by the way, we don't even know what make or MODEL of laptop you have and if it's a NEW laptop or an older model. In cases like these what I often tell people is to find the serial number and service code somewhere on the back of the laptop or maybe underneath. Then look up the manufacturer's web site and try to post an e-mail or perhaps a call to the 800-number and explain to then your problem. They may be able to give you a replacement is if the computer still is under warranty, or else they will charge you for a CD that will restored the system to its original condition. But they will insist on having this serial number and service code. In some cases they will take care of it even outside of warranty, but you may have to pay a nominal fee for shipping and handling of the CD. |

Solve : Do You Think the Country Is Heading in the Right Direction?? |
|
Answer» This is a rather simple question... and at my website blog, you will find the rest of this wonderful excerpt and a poll! It seems that lately, the USA hasn’t been all it used to be made out to be. We no longer hold the highest IQ Rate, nor are we one of the richest nations in the world any longer (Then again, it seems no one is at this time).Read the rest here: http://zylstrablog.co.nr/wordpress/?p=84 Whether you are young and hardly educated on the topic, or old and cranky about it, I want to hear what you think -- and I am rather curious as to poll results. Please either comment on my blog or here, either is fine. I need to test my new comment system on my blog... I guess the other countries are just beating us. Kinda like those ancient civilizations. They always fall sometimes. I guess the US is just falling to other countries but I dont think the us will be like gone or anything.Actually, thats a very interesting perspective, comparing us to past civilizations. I think that we fail to look at their mistakes since its been awhile since a larger country has failed completely (except Iceland, of course). I think we believe there are so many systems in place to prevent total breakdowns that we assume we are invincible... All failed empires thought they were invincible. the reason for the USA to fail was to many greedy people ( bankers etc ) taking and making to much money on the backs of other people other countries make money and put it back into their country not in the states from we are and the stories we see your econemy is not improving its getting worse you cannot expect your pres; to help failing car makers if he did why not help all the failing shops and small people working hard you speak as if the states is an empire , its not its a country , britain and russia were empires all big countries must go bad some time they can only grow as far and as fast as the people and gov; will let them the U.S doesn't meet the definition of empire, but it comes close. one of the definitions is "a group of countries under a single authority" One cannot deny the large influence the U.S has on almost every other Country in the world, no matter how small. Even if a country doesn't have any direct contact with the U.S either diplomatically or through trade, reverbations of U.S actions on those countries that it does deal with can have a lasting influence. If, for example, the U.S was to suddenly stop all trade with Canada (hypothetical, of course), the U.K and Australia would probably GET a little worried as well- which may or may not affect their stance towards other countries, in an attempt to prepare for the possibility that the U.S decides to stop trading with them. (of course, this is hypothetical since the U.S is by no means self-sufficient, as much as some of their citizens like to think otherwise)- they cannot even provide power to California and that state ENDS up importing electricity from British Columbia- where most of the power is provided by hydroelectric dams on several rivers. These rivers run into the states, and I don't believe there are any hydroelectric dams on the other side of the border. It's cheap and it's clean, and more importantly it doesn't require non-renewable resources such as Coal, Oil, or Gas. The prohibitive factor is simply that the facilities would be more expensive to build and setup- it's far easier to simply wage a war in the area of the world that controls the most oil and attempt to set up a puppet government in that area that will provide oil without the requirement of too much in return. Which is good, since there wasn't much to give in the first place. And of course there is the whole issue of the federal bailing out various companies. That is ridiculous. if a company cannot stay afloat in bad economic times, it obviously doesn't have the drive or determination to provide it's products to the consumers during those times. As Harry said- if they are going to fund companies that do not even have the initiative to stay in business, what about those shops and other corporations that are struggling successfully to stay afloat? What about those run by headstrong executives who want to stay in business not for the sole purpose of making a profit but to provide services to the citizens of their country, and PERHAPS other countries as well? It's true that the automobile industry employs a large number of people; and the bankruptcy of those companies will cause the loss of a number of jobs. it's also a fact that the collapse within the industry will release those companies stranglehold monopoly on the industry, and denigrate their percieved status of being an "invincible" corporations, that never struggles no matter how tough times get, and it always able to create some counter to any economic situation. Instead, they lie back and allow the government to simply baby feed them funds they never deserved in the first place. To put a interesting spin on it- fascism can be condensed to be a "corporatist ideology"- a government that both owns and supports corporations through funding of those corporations and the reaping of the companies profits back into the pool of funds. Oddly, this is a "better" situation then what happened. The government basically threw taxpayer money at them and said "there you go". No "contract" type agreement was drawn up- no obligations of what to do with the funds (actually, maybe that was defined, but I forget) was indicated. So those funds, provided by U.S taxpayers are now in the hands of greedy executives who likely will not be looking into the best interest of those who provided the money to them. It's basically forstalled the inevitable collapse the U.S auto industry, which for many years was barely competition for foreign automobile companies, such as Mercedes-Benz,Porsche, and so forth, at least until Henry Ford was able to perfect the idea of assembly like construction, as opposed to having the entire vehicle be built in one location, and the various parts and specialists converging there, the vehicle was built "module by module" and it moves to each station in turn. Since in this fashion each set of workers was kept busy almost all the time, production shot through the roof and cost per vehicle was reduced exponentially, ALLOWING Ford to successfully market the vehicle to the working man. Since the foreign automakers weren't really interested in marketing to the "common man" they kept with their own methods, which proved successful in some ways, since the extra cost and the desirability of their quality vehicles fetched high prices. They didn't get a bailout- they are still in the black. The issue at hand is simply the loss of the perception of the human factor by the U.S automobile manufacturers- they have lost their perspective on what the average person WANTS in a automobile.there's some reading there and your fingers must be sore , ha ha , but i disagree with you , you say the US is a group of countries , sorry they are a group of states to make up 1 country to be an empire you must have taken by force or conquest a LOT of countries as the following did long ago spanish empire british " roman " byzantine " mongal " russian " empire means ruled by military command or rule and united or ruled by a monarch still reading the rest No- that wasn't what I meant- I meant, it had a strong influence on a lot of countries. I was merely saying that in effect it is a central pillar in a very loose global community.reading the rest , the us is going to have to learn to make small and use little to get by in the furture Quote you speak as if the states is an empire , its not its a country , britain and russia were empires In effect, it is an Empire, but nopt by itself. The USA has become the second head of the British Empire. If is a huge giant standing over the Atlantic ocean with one foot here and the other there. The will advance or fall together.sorry i did not see your post yes it has all over the world in many countries they say if the usa sneezes the world catches a cold geek-9pm sorry to say , get real , the rest of the world and britain in particular are laughing at the states this years the way they run their country into the ground and destroy other countries and murder or kill its people , sorry to say that but its true , all because of a pres; who was an idiot could not talk properly and would rather chop down trees . it might have 1 foot in the states but the other foot is in any country that has oil or they would like to go to war with sorry for rambling but thats a lot of peoples veiws in britain but you do not get to hear this in the states because of your news black out on anything bad said against the states Quote could not talk properly On the other hand, at least he could say "United states".. Jean Chretien insisted we were in a country apparently called "Canader" Although I suppose coming from a French Canadian background almost gives him an excuse... didn't really help Canada's image though, with all that "Aboot" and "eh" crap.who is SHE , jean chretien never heard of her it was a HE. I think I'm aware of their genders. here: http://canadaonline.about.com/od/primeminister/p/pmchretien.htmi thought it was a he , my brother would know him then he lives in Edmonton |
