I don't expect all to serve - the military is not for everyone.

But you call those who don't cowards?

No, only whiners who hide behind bad excuses on why the won't serve.

Try reading the context, it makes you look less foolish.

Sorry dude, but you called Donny a coward. Poor choice of words if you are trying to read within the context.

Fife, my forefathers fought for a Republic. It’s now called Eire. No hard feelings towards the bloody English.

The article wasn't meant to call anybody a 'coward'. It just shows who in Canada volunteers for combat and where the poor bastards who die in the service of Canada are from.
It ‘aint Toronto.

It was posted with the sentiment of "Hey, look, white guys are actually doing something here, despite all the PC bullshit that is saying that we have been saved by immigration."

Not too many immigrants stepping up to the plate in Canada.

Not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s just what it is.


The pendulum has to swing back. Canada had a heritage and a history before mass immigration. It would be nice if that was acknowledged.

White guys actually did a lot in the building of this country and 'shock-horror', some of them were Brits and Irish, although their contributions do seem to have paled into insignificance since the Tamils ran on the highway and the Mohawks dug up a few roads.

And I am saying that in the past, Aboriginal peoples have bled and died for this country in numbers disproportionate to their place in the population.

I have two other points to make here: First is that only a little under 60% of the population of this country support our place in Afghanistan. Some idiot coming on and saying that it's only "White folks" who support the war is not going to make any friends for the war or the troops. Second, I wonder why the article was written in the first place. Why would anyone do that. The only thing I can think is he is trying to get support for an anti-immigrant thing. Not a good idea in a multicultural society. My dad was a Scot. I am sure I can find some idiot that feels that the Scots were the only people who "really" bled and died in the WW's. Does not make it true, and does not make it useful.

Lastly, what are you talking about with the Tamil thing "ran on the highway?"

[EyeBrock]

Donny, More of the same as usual.

It would be nice if you actually thought about solutions and opportunities instead of the usual:

"You steal our land, cheat us, take our kids, abuse and degrade us to this day."

Do you really think you are the only people ever to have had it rough?

Because you and your ilk are so fixated on your own sad past, you fail to see that others have suffered but moved on to be successful.

As long as your attitude is mainstream in aboriginal Canada, you guys will stay in the rez ghettoes.

Donny_Brasco Donny_Brasco:

You steal our land, cheat us, take our kids, abuse and degrade us to this day...and you want me to go fight strangers for you?

With countrymen like you who needs enemies.

My measure of success is not how many foreigners I can shoot - it is measured by the number of times I can hold you and the likes of your pathetic narrow-minded trailer trash accountable for what you and your forefathers did to the aboriginal populations of this continent.

And as you can clearly see I'm not really affected by your condescending tone and your dislike of me. As a matter of fact your attitude is what pushes me to want to continue to turn the screws every single day.

I appreciate that rural white men are giving their lives for this country.

My people have given more than enough.

In the end, your personal cowardice and the immutable temper tantrums you throw is your own cross to bear. The natives I've met in the service are nothing like you, and I suspect, they are representative of the proud warriors of your own very distant past. They serve selflessly for their kith and kin and for this country and have matured as a people enough to find their place in this country. I would gladly have them on my six as I would take theirs.

That's the kind of mutual respect you will never attain.

Not really. It's exactly the choice of words that suit the context.

[ShepherdsDog]

I'm pretty sure that Donny could serve, just as sure as I am that if he maintained his attitude, if serving, he might experience an 'accident', to help manually adjust said attitude.

Don't think Donny would last very long with his racist views, he would be punted pretty quick for that attitude.

[EyeBrock]

I think Donny's belly would be a bit of a problem on an assault course. I don't think he runs too much.

just on cheque day, to the LC

[Donny_Brasco]

Well nice to see you guys can construct good arguments and avoid personal attacks and insults.

Did you guys spellchekc all my posts too, maybe I have verb confusion somewhere or a misplaced modifier?

But that is typical of the ignorant and less intelligent, devolve into personal attacks when they have no real point or can't back up their flawed points of view.

Oh well, it is my cross to bear.


Like I said, every multi-million dollar settlement we get I just think of you guys and it just makes everything so worthwile.

[EyeBrock]

Ah, the whining continues.

So it IS all about money after all? If you say "yes", you get a +1 for honesty.

[putz]

Obviously not all Natives think like Donny, there were the 12000 (total) that served during WWI, WWII, Korea. Plus none of the dudes I serve with now think like him actually a hand full of them make fun of guys like him.
