A simple 'Happy 4th Would Have Been Nice'

Trolls
Please DO NOT feed the trolls.
Trolls try to disrupt, destroy or change discussion groups to fit their own agendas.
Trolls are pin heads.
These trolls like to visit and try to disrupt our happy forum. Their lowly reason for existence is to post provocative, hostile or annoying messages. They claim theyre here to discuss but in fact are just here to cause trouble. Trolls have an exaggerated sense of their own importance. Trolls will frequently use a persecution defense when they are asked to cease their antisocial behavior. When someone asks them nicely to stop posting negative comments, theyll claim innocent intent and will scream censorship. They will claim that they are being singled out because of their unpopular viewpoints.
Trolls will only stay when they are fed or given attention. So please do not pet, respond to, or feed trolls. Doing so only results in their prolonged stay.

Okay. Happy 4th.

Wow, you sure got your knickers in a knot, eh?

Us Canucks whooped the Americans in 1812, and beat the French on the Plains of Abraham way back when, but we don't gloat about it.

Get yourself a life and have a good day mate!! :D

You guys sure gave us a lesson in humility. In addition, the British could have done us in if they really wanted to. Fortunately, some one over there in England knew that we worth more to them alive then dead.

So, we Americans of the United States thank you. Wish us a safe and happy holiday!

Whooped the Americans in 1812? You best go back and read it again cause it ain't so. England spent lots of money fighting the war with Americans. If fact, it depleted their treasury. That is why they packed up and finally went home. They could not beat the Americans on the battlefield and they could not beat them at the bank.

Happy 4th of July!

I originally posted this as a bit of a joke and to wish you all a good time. Let's not get into a fight about it.

Sorry, Mary, but it's true.

In the 1812 war Canada also emerged from the war with a heightened sense of national feeling and solidarity, as it celebrated its defeat of multiple US invasions. Battles such as the Battle of Queenston Heights and the Battle of Crysler's Farm became iconic for English-speaking Canadians. In Canada, especially Ontario, memory of the war retains national significance, as the invasions were largely perceived by Canadians as an annexation attempt by the United States. In Canada, numerous ceremonies took place in 2012 to remember the war, offer historical lessons and celebrate 200 years of peace between Canada and the United States. The war is scarcely remembered in the USA today. Britain regarded the conflict as sideshow to the much larger Napoleonic Wars raging in Europe. As such it welcomed an era of peaceful relations and trade with the United States.

Hey Canucks, time to prepare for another Plains of Abraham. Pauline and her band of Coureurs de Bois are looking for a fight. Maybe three or four of us could teach them another lesson.

It happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I made what I thought was an obviously tongue in cheek comment and got clobbered by several people who's side I was on.
I thought that your post was funny, and a nice gesture.
