Sorry I missed that reference, but Fox news is not real news, ok well Hannity and Beck are sure not news, they are opinutainment..I can't count the number of times I've seen vids where Beck totally contradicts himself in same interview. Fox news may have once been legit but they are nothing but the voice of Republican propaganda now. But its a free country and ppl can listen to whatever they want, even if it is just fiction.

I'll let you know how they handle it.



So you do get Fox news. I didn't think your government would let them in considering how they are not afraid to report what's really going on. The libral networks down here are trying to get our government to shut them down but that's not going to happen (unless Obama gets involved) because we are founded on freedom. If more people watched Fox they would be better informed and Obama never would have got elected. But I don't want to get in a political discussion.

I'll let you know how Hannity and Beck answer my e-mail.
No problem, that is the reason I started this thread. I guess until you come up here you will see that we are not the way you imagine, not at all. I have done a fair amount of travel to the US (Vegas, LA, western seaboard, most of the northern states) and we are VERY similar.

As we have found through this whole thread, healthcare, gun licensing, and taxes are really what is apparently different.

Dont take my hostility as anything other than frustration. I do not understand why your media wants to brainwash you guys into believing stuff about Canada that is simply not true. The worst part is that people believe it and it keeps them from having a good relationship with Canadians and stops you from coming north. I guess that could even be the point.

Just because they are entertaining doesn't mean they aren't news. They are about the only unbiased source of news available. Just because what you hear on the other more libral networks is different, doesn't mean Fox news is propoganda. It's the other way around.

What do you back that up with?

How do you know it's not your government regulated media brainwashing you?

Food for thought.

With your manner of thinking, and that "food for thought", I believe that I would go on a diet...

"real' is about as unreal as you can get.
It's some bs account made up by someone who is just having a little fun.

He had us for a while but jokes over real, it was fun while it lasted.

You know, that is not only rude, it's also the oldest debate trick in the book.

I have a "real" account and it's you guys that appear to be having all the fun while I try to show you guys what's really going on in the world.

Commumism is coming back with a vengance and the signals are everywhere, you just choose to ignore them or treat it all like it's some kind of joke. Socialized medicine is the last chip to fall. By the time you guys understand what happened to you, it will be too late.
