Oh, yes... of course I know you think that.

The guy got fired and rightfully so... I suspect fox will report it just like everyone else.

This is true of any persuasive arguement, but what bill does unlike some media channels, is separates his opinion/editorials from reporting. This doesn't happen on CNN, ABC, NBC. Some people don't like Bill O, and I understand that. I don't agree with everything he says, but to call his reporting not factual and him an asshole is absurd.

He has done his research have you? Even if you don't like O'reilly, I dare you to question his facts. That is what make him so notorious... the fact that he can back up almost everything he says with FACT. You are speculating. His recent stats come fron Steven Moore, President of"the club for growth.

I resent that remark!

already read it ... someone posted it awhile back. I still don't see the humor, but I have never seen that show. Nothing better to do in the cold I guess (that was a joke) Seriously though. Americas do not dislike canadians, but we are getting a sense lately that canadians dislike americans. They are becoming quite vocal about it. All I am saying is.. we don't have a problem with you voicing your concerns, but becareful... at some point we will get sick of hearing it.

Well, let's face the fact that Canada is a socialist society with government run media much like england. I don't mean that as a bad thing, it is just a fact. With that being said I choose to disregaurd some of the opinions that writer has, such as an "Illegal" war. It was legal under a 91 cease fire agreement. But that is getting awayfrom the point. We never (I never) asked people to agree with the US. Germany didn't, China didn't etc... But they didn't go out of their way to make poor political statement against the US. I think your PM is just sympathetic to France. IMO.

I am right there with you. In response to someone saying the peewee hockey team incident in Motreal may not have happened... It did. THe team was from Canton, MA my home town, and the local papers reported on it. I do not dobt it. Also at the Islanders game broadcast here in NY it was evident the crowd was booing the natioanl anthem. I understand what you are saying, but I also remember some senator of something from Canada several months back openly calling Bush an Idiot. Representing the country or not, public officials shouldn't be making open comments like that. That is just bad politics.

yes we need their trade, but we are at a trade deficit when it come to Canada and France. No one is yet calling for a buycott of Canada though.

This is very true in many aspects of life. In a recent poll cunducted by Time LIfe, 20% of americans thought that they were in the top 1% of salaries in the USA. People generally like to think they are a bit better than they are, myself included.

I am in total agreement here... The best part in the 1 second I let go of the plane

Nothing... I think it is a good idea. But he made a point of saying we will not give them to the US. That was unnessesary. He could have just said we will surrender them to the Hauge. It is just a continuation of anti-americanism from the Canadian government. I am with Bill on this though... I am not boycotting Canada, because they have not gone out of their way to disrupt US policies like france did. But Comments made publicly by the Canadian (parlament/government) have been blatant and rude lately.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FELLOW NY'er. When are you coming back to the Northeast to do some jumping????

Here is Bill O'reilly's latest article. I know many people don't like him, but it is a good read, and it raises many questions. It may raise some anger from canadians on this forum, but read it close...He defends canadians but not their leader. It does seem that a few "officials" from up north have made a few comments publicly over the past year that have been a bit harsh. While I respect other peoples opinions, and feel they have a right to voice them, they need to remember that everything they say has consequence. Just like me posting this. here we go.... Oh, Canada, what the heck is going on? In a staggering display of in-your-face defiance, the Canadian government now says it will not turn over any members of Saddam Hussein's crew, should they eventually show up in Canada, to the USA - including the evil dictator himself! Canadian Minister of Defense John McCallum bluntly told the world that his government would only give Saddam to the World Court in the Hague. This non-provoked belligerence comes after Prime Minister Jean Chretien gleefully pilloried the Bush administration over fighting Iraq every chance he got. Chretien and his cohorts have made no secret of their disdain for Mr. Bush and the Canadian press has generally been brutal to America in portraying the war. In response, President Bush has cancelled his May trip to Ottawa and it would be wise not to send him an autographed picture of the Montreal Canadian hockey team anytime soon. That's because Montreal fans recently booed the National Anthem before a match with the New York Islanders causing some angst among American hockey fans who are not generally known for being too accepting of that kind of display. But it doesn't end there. When a group of Boston kids went up to Montreal to play in a peewee hockey tournament, they were not only taunted by the Canadian kids, but also by the referees. Eh? My question is this: Do the Canadian people have any idea how close they are to serious pain here? Canada's economy is utterly dependent on the USA and Americans pump more than 10-billion dollars directly into it every year. Nine million of us cross the northern border more than 40-million times annually and we buy lots of stuff. And that stuff is heavily taxed by the tax and spend Canadian government. So what happens if we all emulate Mr. Bush and just say no to the land of snow? Canada's economy melts, that's what happens. A loosely organized boycott of French goods by some Americans has brought immediate pain to the wine and travel industries in that country, according to business titans in Paris. One analyst told me that French wine consumption in the USA is down ten percent and travel to Paris is off by more than 20-percent with almost record low bookings for the upcoming summer. Since the French economy was growing at just one percent before Jacques Chirac began his quest to embarrass America, a French recession is now likely. If the same economic pressure were applied to Canada, the results would be much more intense. Simply put, if Americans cut back doing business with Canadians that country could go into a depression. And herein lies the problem. Most Americans are not mean people and don't want to hurt working class Canadians. It is Chretien who's the problem and he's out of office in less than a year. But, there comes a point when enough is enough and Canadians should understand that storm clouds are gathering to the south. Humiliating American kids in a hockey rink is simply not acceptable. Thumbing your nose at 127 dead Americans in Iraq by making defiant statements about where Saddam should be extradited is not a wise policy. Millions of Americans are beginning to realize that their buying power is not only a democratic choice, but can be used as a weapon against people who are hostile to us. No American is under any obligation to buy any product, foreign or domestic. I'm sure the Molson beer people understand that Budweiser fits in the cooler as well. So I am giving the haughty Jean Chretien one more chance because I have always liked and respected the Canadian people. I am not going to travel north this summer but I'm not boycotting Canadian products as I am with France. But hear this Mr. Prime Minister: One more cheap shot, one more unnecessary taunt, one more insult directed at the USA by you or your minions, and I'll give you a very accurate long range forecast. It's gonna get mighty cold mighty fast west of the St. Lawrence.

well richard.... They arrested him before the body was Id'ed like you said. That leads me to believe they have other evidence. But let me ask you this... Why did he drive 3 hours to go fishing for just 1? I think we know why.... ocean/fishing/bodydumping... Guilty!!!! He didn't call in his wife missing, her fam did. When the police came to talk about where she was, he said "Get a warrent" This is all allowed true, but someone concerned about their missing wife should be willing to talk with the police...

We all know accidents happen, so that must be the worst if you get injured on a naked jump!!! The paramedics show up, look at you and say WTF? As your Femur is protruding from your naked body.

LOL ... I have never seen what a naked skydiving boobie looked like!!!!! The fucking things are inside out!!!

Run over by a giant Snowblower!!

This was read on the radio on WOR in NY. It is so true. There is only one thing I find wrong with it. There are not as many people listening to these celebs as the media would have you believe. The polls clearly show that. It is just that there voice is loud, and media coverage is greater. For the most part, the people in this country are intelligent, and we can think for ourselves. I don't ask my mechanic for medical advice, and like wise I don't look to celebrities for foreign policy advise. I leave both to the experts. The only thing that really bothers me is that these people go on Unchallanged. I would love to see Colin Powell have a debate with George Clooney, or Rumsfeld vs. Susan Surandon. I think then it would be fair. Put it on PPV!!! I would definately pay to see these celebs try and back up facts they know nothing about.

I was just having this dicussion at work with some friends. I have no sympathy for those journalists. But I didn't wish that journalist would die, but I found it interesting that most other journalist (not embedded) were in Jordan or Qatar. So, these ones that chose to stay in Baghdad had to have know that their lives were in Jeopardy. I am not trying to be a hard ass about this, but if you are going to eat dinner with the devil, you better bring a long spoon. ie don't stay in downtown Baghdad while it is being invaded.

I know what you mean. Actually in one sceen two chutes open into one another, but end up clearing. There were very few shots when they actually tracked off!

My favorite is "the Care Bears Theme song" It lightens the mood a bit.

Well, suing TWC won't work. See, I am a meteorologist, and we get very angry when we're sued. So, what typically happens when a suit is brought against us is... We call up GOD and tell him to create more bad weather. THis is probably the reason it's going to snow here tomorrow. Some sorry asshole probably tried to sue the local weather guy and Bam!!! God interviened!

Thanks!!!

I agree with you in that, if a second resolution passed, we wouldn't here AS MUCH talk about the UN's uselessness. However, it is and has always been a bit of a useless forum. The idea is right, and so are the principals, but it appears to me looking through history that they tend to be procrastinator (spelling?). I know what you are saying, but when you have a group made up of so many nations, there (in my opinion) is no way to get anything resolved. Every country has their own interest and agenda as top priority. And it should be that way to a point. I had no problem with the French opposing the war, or the Chineese, or the Germans. That is their right. They could have just chose not to vote. The US is mad at France more than anyone, because they went out of their way to get other coutries to vote against us. One could say, "well the US went to other countries to get them on board". That is true, but our object was to show those countries it was in their best interest. While France went out of its way to "Obstruct" US negotiations. That only means ONE thing to me. FRANCE wanted to keep SH in power. They didn't mind him killing and raping and all that shit. Chirac wanted SH to stay. And to me, that is sad. (disclaimer.. these are my views) Chris
