Deranged Rhino Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Why is there animosity towards the military? Is it what Boyst mentioned? Allying against ISIS. I mean really... How can people/countries NOT stand up against ISIS? That I'm not sure about so I don't want to speculate too much until more is known. But based on the targets and the methods of attack, a tie to terrorism seems likely. As someone who wears a military uniform daily here in the US, I'm starting to wonder if I should remove mine when I leave work. Scary it's coming to this Please stay safe. I think it's an overreaction at the moment personally, but it might be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, just a thought, I'm not sure if I will, but it just makes you pause for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) HAHA someones going to take out a carp counter? The Fish and Widlife Service are the one's counting the carp... I count commodities like iron, coal, chromium and steel. Anyway, I am not so worried about myself, I am expendable... It's the facilities and the damage that can be done to it and the people around the area. I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to light the wick on 6,400 tons of jet fuel though.

John Adams Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I told the story here how a few Christmas' ago, they let us (wife and two children) into Ontario without passports or asking for a shred of ID. I wasn't sure what the deal was with regs/laws so I went to Duty Free by the Rainbow Bridge to inquire. Bad thing is, you gotta cross the border once you pull into the DF lot (spikes going the other way)... Okay, so we go and cross the border... Canadian Customs (older lady that looked like she didn't play) officer says: "Where you from, where you going?" Just like the old days... We say: "Illinois, going to spend the day @ The Falls." She says: "Fine, have a nice day." Now... The only problem was getting back home to the states. We cross back into NYS after about 8 hours and the US Customs officer asks for all of our passports. We say: "They are @ home in Illinois, but we have ID... Even for the children." Boy did he go ballistic and read us the riot act. I said that Canadian Customs just let us in like the old days... I wasn't sure what the new regs/laws were. I felt like getting smart and say: "What we can't come back into our own country?" But... My superior discretion got the best of me! ;-) ;-) Should I say, he wasn't a happy camper. That said, all my prayers to Canada. Thread hijack but why is this surprising? Different countries, different rules. What does the US Customs guy care what the Canadian Customs person does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should ask him, I wanted to but I figured that might not be in our best interest to get him more riled up. What exactly is ISIS to you? I am not really sure what you mean by this. The enemy to a more peaceful world. An entity that should NOT exist. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I am not really sure what you mean by this. The enemy to a more peaceful world. An entity that should NOT exist. ?? So they're just an enemy? And how do you know they have become the actual "enemy" that is a threat to the daily life of this country? Because Western media says so? Because there has been some clean and well recorded videos of them executing some Western people/journalists sent to media outlets? Every single piece of footage to come out of Iran, Syria or Iraq connected to ISIS is totally suspect. I suggest you look as to how groups that are deemed to be an immediate threat to the West like ISIS and Al-Qaeda come about in the first place. These groups just don't magically appear and have the networking to facilitate and arm large numbers of their members like the media would have you believe. Look up "Operation Cyclone" for Al-Qaeda and for ISIS refer to Mossad-MI5-CIA / NSA: "Hornets Nest". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Certainly a sad day for all of us. Prime Minister Harper said it best yesterday when he said that this proves that Canada is not immune to the terror attacks we see all over the world and that we will not be intimidated.
