Yeppers....and I love Canada and I did do one post to a good old friend that hailed from the USA and gave my thoughts. And in no mannner do I hate America....in no manner.
Feel better now? Anything else you want to set straight? "" Inquiring minds want to know."' (laugh, they do)
Well I think this America bashing has got out of hand by some and some others take it personal now. All I can say on that is many-Many- countries and people would not have the freedoms they do today if it hadn't been for America. That is history. America as a nation is a young country that rose to great world power faster than any. Much younger than most other nations. And has done so much in that short time for freedom and other things--that none can compare there in that short of time. Yes they have made mistakes and sometimes fought within herself hard (the civil war)----but the good they did as a country can not be denied.
I don't think we should worry about if someone points out our errors neither. If their honest about it and honest about their own. And their motive is good. (motives are more important than what people say if you ask me) I worry more when they are not corrected and can be. Or when no one will say anything when they see wrong, thinking that makes them good. That goes with anything.
I don't blame you for loving Canada-beautiful area for the most part. So many things I like about it there. One of my favorite countries to visit and see. Been going there since a child (Father was a Fisherman). And your lakes and areas are outstanding. And I think more conservation conscious than many (on most things-not all and I get upset about some things there that are done). Hope it stays that way----let me say when corrupting influences are allowed/tolerated it just spreads and spreads like any toxin. You can cover it to look better and we often do around the world but.........it is what it is
I think one way we fail and failed is on good, clean growth-greed and selfishness being a big factor. But those two things are everywhere so all should watch that.
Anything Else you want to get off your chest? Now would be a good time.
I never said you did. Never came to my mind that you did. Not at all. Where did that come from? I said some have taken to bashing (that is a know fact) maybe that is why some are sensitive And added that America has done some extraordinary things for her time
Haddy I was reading it and I do understand what you mean. My apologies as my reading takes a bit of time right now and I read it and understand what your meaning here..so I thank you and shall read it again.

Really that again sums it all up very well and there are many that are actually excited about this and it would be nice to be there for this but yes I think that for the most part there are many that now are looking at things within a perspective of realizing that this is of importance and the one thing I do now and then is indicated where I am originally from and and as well I guess that is what I was writing Haddy.
and the what so called ' American dreams' ... that all foreigners is dying for, is it still alive :) so much is going on, in politics and in america as a whole. I wonder now if it still a place to die for, as what others thought of ...
Tee glad you said it as I do. I truly would love to write on some historical values between these two countries that really illustrate how connected we are but all in good time. I hope your feet are much better.
I will write at sometime....lol sometime how closely we all are within our roots but we are, I don't see much difference but we embrace the differences. Hugs there friend.

Take Care
The thing you missed within your entire paragraph is I don't bash America. As well I shall choose as to what I say when I say it as we all do.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is definately in trouble. I'm not sure what can be done to reunite us.
ReplyDeleteWhen there is trouble then you work out of it and I think that is the main premise Sharon.
ReplyDeleteI never said you did. Never came to my mind that you did. Not at all. Where did that come from?
