FR
Just thought I'd add my two cents because of the morons I've been reading here on this forum lately. Here in Canada, the gun used to kill Cpl. Cirillo was a gun that people were able to get their hands on more easily due to the removal of the Long Gun registry by the current conservative government. If the Canada had the same accessibility to automatic weapons that the USA has, then you'd bet your ass that more than one innocent life would have been taken that day.
How many people would have been killed in an equivalent US shooting, with an AR15 instead? I think most intelligent people could come up with a much higher number than 1 and believe that it would happen. I mean, jesus christ, I can't believe how fear based the USA and you americans on here are. It's pathetic, you people are so afraid of every little thing, so afraid to even trust that other people have your best interest at heart. But then again I look at your politics, the people running your country and the opposing political parties, and I have no reason to think you shouldn't be afraid.
On one hand you have religious extremists, and on the other you have a bunch of spineless wimps, and both are bought out by industry and big money. Here in Canada, we have issues with government, sure, but we at least respect the law, we respect our leaders. I don't like Harper, I look forward to voting him out in 2015, but our media doesnt blame him for literally everything and anything under the sun, his opponents aren't trying to impeach him over little itty bitty things, his opponents don't liken him to hitler, Mao, stalin, or try to threaten him or promote the idea of a coup or civil war.
We have respect, honour, integrity. But americans? All they do is hate, fight, complain, and fear. Our reaction to this act of murder wasn't a feeling for revenge or bigotry, but a sense of loss and sadness, and a hope and determination that such an occurrence doesn't happen again. We dont suddenly hate muslims, in fact we are facing a time where more people are coming out in support of muslims because we know that these extremists aren't the majority. We want peace, not conflict (although you people mistaken it as freedom), and I think that's the difference between us and you. We have freedom, freedom to choose how to live our lives without the need of fear always being present in our lives. You have freedom, or at least you feel like you do, to do whatever the hell you want, and that scares a lot of people.
Go ahead and call me a bigot, I don't care. I honestly dislike America, I think Americans can be fine people but in general you have your priorities all warped and twisted and it's really quite sad. You value keeping your killing machines over the safety and lives of those you love, you value your own opinions over the right for others to live the way they want, you value hate and fear because it's the only thing that seems to get people interested in your sensationalized and corrupt political and media systems. You don't care about peace, and you sure as hell don't actually care about freedom, you care about winning, being right, and being the best.
That is why America will fail, why it is failing, and it will be just another in a long line of empires to have collapsed under their own weight of ignorance, selfishness, and arrogance. Canada doesn't have everything perfect, but we're a lot closer to it than America has ever been, thats for sure.
