It's not obedience though - but we don't expect a so-called ally to be telling countries who support us to "shut up". Also - we do get very tired of seeing our country portrayed as Nazi Germany and you can NOT deny that our country is portrayed like that in demonstrations. People can say it's directed at our government - that is fine - but our government is a government is a government by the people.

It's in a tone of disdain that Americans tell me that they crushed my country 200 years ago. Sorry, but either both are funny, or both are insulting - it doesn't make sense that one's OK because it's your patriotic joke and the other's not because it's someone else's.

Well - there are some people who joke around and their are some people who use it in distain. Neither statement show be used in distain. I constantly say that Canada is the 51st state - but the people I direct that to - know I am joking.

Anyway, I'm going to take a break from Entmoot for a while. This discussion isn't going anywhere for me. Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas.
