I didn't know donation boxes existed as I had always dealt with veterans in the past, ASSHOLE.
Who wants to discuss Don Cherry today....
- Thread starter gfelover
- Start date
I made my donation at Wal-Mart and suggested they get a bigger box for those of us who donate in bills instead of coins.

Ignoring the parade controversy for a moment, Sikh soldiers in the Canadian military.

Wearing a poppy is a sign of respect.
Khadr got $10 million and an apology. Most veterans are lucky if they get a "thank you" on Remembrance Day.

Khadr got $10 million because his government abused his rights as a Canadian citizen... The very same rights (and freedoms) that you would claim that our soldiers fought and died for during the 1st and 2nd World Wars (and probably any wars beyond).
So economically you are saying immigrants are a drain to the economy? Taking our milk and honey.

Most veterans weren't held without trial for 10 years in Gitmo.
That there's the difference. It's not about how nice or likeable you are or whether folks would have you over for dinner. It's about whether your constitutional rights were infringed.
The dude "Miranda" - as in "Miranda Rights", the US term for reading rights on arrest of a suspect?.... Miranda was a mafia boss charged with multiple contract killings. Got off because his rights were infringed. Not because he was a nice man.
I Agree.
Unfortunately you're right, people have the freedom to not recognize and support the sacrifice so many veterans made so that they would have that freedom in the first place. Ironic.
Freedom comes with responsibility, the methane narcissist never took any for his actions. Now his grapes got crushed.
Maybe now he can take a history lesson.

Honestly, I know it's not "Politically Correct" to say it.. But nobody died for our freedom. And if you really believe that nonsense, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Both World War 1 & 2 were fought by Canadians alongside Russia, the most autocratic and authoritarian regime in Europe at the time (both as the Russian Empire, and later Sovient Union).
At no point did The Triple Alliance (WW1) or Axis Powers (WW2) indicate that they had any intention of taking over the world, thereby putting Canada or the United States at risk of being subjugated. One might argue that Hitler toyed around with the idea of world domination, but it was never an official plan of the Nazi Party.
Instead we fought for the "freedom" of the French & English, both of which maintained massive overseas empires themselves (collectively resulting in hundreds of millions of people living without "freedom").
If we were fighting for freedom during WW2, then why did our side indiscriminately kill hundreds of thousands of non-combatants (civilians) through the "strategic" terror bombing of cities?
If we were fighting for freedom during WW2, then why did we stop fighting for the "freedom" of so many nations that were forced to live under authoritarian communist regimes once the war was over (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, etc.,.)?
There is no doubt that many of our soldiers died heroically during each war. There is no doubt that the Nazis were evil as fuck. But that doesn't mean anybody died for our freedom.
Neither World War were a war for freedom. If they were wars for freedom, then we most certainly lost those wars.
