A Canadian, a Texan, and an Iraqi were all up in Canada one day farming their own little bit of land. They ran across a genie. The genie offered each of them one wish.

The Canadian: I have been farming on these lands all of my life. I want these lands to be fetrile forever so that my sons may farm here and my grandsons and so on.

Granted

The Iraqi: I want an impenetrable wall built around the holy land as to keep the infidels out and my people protected within.

Granted

Texan: Tell me more about this wall.

It's 500 feet high. It's 500 feet thick. Nothing can get in or out.

Texan: Nothing?

Nothing.

Texan: Fill it with water.

Was that supposed to be funny or something, boijen?

Personally I don't find genocide amusing. Just my 2 Canadian (worth more than the Yankee Doodle Dollar these days thanks to the gross mis management of your country by GWB Ltd.) cents.

Speaking as a Texan I thought it was both funny as hell and accurate to the Texas way of thinking  Cute Jen, except the texans would also want it stocked with Bass!

Well I guess you gotta be a southerner to get it.

Besides...it'd be funny as hell and acurate if they'd have driven two planes into any prominent highly populated area in Canada 7 years ago now wouldn't it?

And just because your money is worth more world wide doesn't jack...you still pay more in gas than we do. Just like much of the rest of the industrialized world. So keep on spending...I'll shop my side of the border thanks.

Just for the Canadians who don't like my other joke:

We Americans have it all wrong on border patrol with the Candians. It's pretty easy to figure out if you give our guys some phone books. Wack them on the head and from the reaction you can tell who's who.

Canadians: Ow!..Are you okay? You didn't hurt yourself wacking on me did ya, ay?

Americans: Muther fucker! Listen you cocksucker, hit me one more time and we're gonna have to file a suit against your company.

Terrorists: OW! Allah will strike you down, infidel!..oops.

How many tens of thousands innocent Iraq's and thousands of American soldiers, need to die to pay for the three thousand dead on American soil? As horrible as that act of terror was it cannot go on forever, justifying every act of violence the USA cares to brand with it.

Your second joke was much better, except you misspelled eh. But that's a common enough mistake.

Hi, DA. Knew it wouldn't be long before you buzzed the tower. They really let you fly planes with guns on them, did they. Wonders never cease.

BoiJen, LOL!
But don't you realise that the left thinks we have to be, "better than al qeada?"
I thought we already were, not much to "think about" there, is there?
"We" have to treat alqeada nicely but they can do whatever dirty trick they want to us?
Funny when al qeada cuts some guy's head off on camera that the lefties aren't screaming to the high heavens about the "Geneva Conventions" but when our guys decide to have a little costume party and college fraternity initiation with these low-lifes they go ballistic! lol
I didn't think the Geneva Conventions applied unless there was a declaration of war by the congress.
Also, the GC isn't a "one way street."
That's not how you win wars.

Guns, bombs, and rockets. Sometimes even "special weapons"... God I loved the work

Outright bigotry from someone who claims to be a member of a very often attacked group. You do have to wonder sometimes.

I'm a moderate liberal. That's how I identify politically.

And it's been said before me, "You can't fight the bad guys by being good and win." I think they should issue return orders to every American soldier in the Middle east and bring them home...with big fat checks that say thank you on them. And then we should take care of business the proper way. Special Ops teams dealing with threats to our country. Including destroying those fields.

Those poppy feilds are not a threat to the security of the USA. There were no WMDs in Iraq. There were no al Quaeda in Iraq until the occupation. The 100,00 and counting Iraqi civilians who have dies as a result of this most recent occupation posed no threat to the security of the USA... And on it goes.

So again, how long do you think the USA can trade on the fall of the towers for as justification for violating the sovereingty and security of other countries? And how much good will does that generate versus how many fresh enemies? Inventing threats around the world and blowing them up isn't making things better and pretending it does is just a comfortable illusion.

Those poppy fields are the main cash revenue for terrorists.

The main cash revenue for terrorists is Saudi Arabian oil production. Poppies might be a distant second but definitely not 'the main.'

They are the main source of revenue for the taliban, an al quida ally.

That's a good enough reason to flame them.

Most of the profit on those poppy fields are made in the West by those in power there. (You do not really think that those in power do not controll the trade, do you?) So those poppy fields represent a vested interest of those who rule the USA and Europe.
 
@boi: As for the tower twins, they were never hit by any plane: one of them never took off to start with, and the other landed safe somewhere else. Never saw a magic trick before, did you?

Research where your gas comes from. I only buy American. And a bullshit thing like "magic trick" at the cost of three thousand lives isn't gonna do anybody any good other than to call you crazy.

Can we burn their fields with their own oil? Please?

You think you can buy a gallon of gas in the US and be sure of its provenance? Read this if you really believe that:

It is better to be crazy and right, than to be sane and wrong.
