even if i was american i would make this same comment...so i'll assure you that the US invading canada will never happen in anyones lifetime , cause without canada the states wouldn't be able to survive...
i guess people don't realize how dependant the US is on canada...two main topics at hand 1) water 2) electricity....
like it can't even be stressed enough, and its hard to grasp how people could even make that vote... think of another topic...
for the most part this is what things boil down to:
world hates us +
world loves canada +
us invades canada =
_______________
us starts a war against the world...

and that my folks would mean the US is not so powerful anymore...yes yes i know thats my point of view, but again most people with an idea know this is how it is, and how it will be, and its all common sense...its a snow ball affect when it comes down to these type of things..if somone touches us(canada), the world will react...and thats that..

this will probably move to General fourm i assume....its not really specific to anything

DrOzz,

I think it was meant to be not taken seriously.

In other words.........it is never going to happen

oh d00d don't get me wrong i know its not taken seriously, but you know just as well as I that 8 times outta 10 people really do pick an answer in a poll or vote that they think is most properly suited to them....
i quite frankly don't care about it, its just the person i am, and when i see something that is just a pile of crap, i have to say something...joke or not i would have made the same comment just to be heard..

Mr. Gates is working hard on the later. Ever hear of "trusted computing"?
