[QUOTE=Leaffan] Who’s with me? [/QUOTE] Just to clarify here… are you asking if there are others on the board who agree with your opinions, or are you asking people to guess the names of the spirits inside your head? Try standing inside a pentacle of salt and see if that helps any. ---

Much of the world, it seems, [disagrees with the OP.](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5077984.stm) > [@](#): > > People in European and Muslim countries see US policy in Iraq as a bigger threat to world peace than Iran’s nuclear programme, a survey has shown. > > The survey by the Pew Research Group also found support for US President George W Bush and his “war on terror” had dropped dramatically worldwide. I think that Tuva might be the only place on Earth where they still like us, but don’t hold me to that. ---

I am currently not a fan of the administration. I do believe that Afghanistan was correct, but do not believe that the war in Iraq was. ---

I would like clarification as to whether there really is a Carp, Canada, or if it is just a state of mind. A Google search mainly turns up holiday trips to Canada to fish for carp (a rare treat, I’m sure) and stuff about the Canadian Association for Retired Persons. I kind of like the idea of a bunch of crusty CARPers lobbying the Parliament for rights of ancient Ontarians. Or the Duma. Or whatever legislative body you have up there. :dubious: ---

**Leaffan** –you are an imbecilic, syphilitic Sperm Monkey whose sole employment in life is flinging poo at your betters. And yet, we can **cure** you of this. We need only attach Electrodes to your body, in the form of boxer shorts made of Reynold’s Wrap Aluminum Foil. Every time you start jerking off, or crapping in your chancre-covered paws, we give you the juice. The only risk involved is that a deviate like yourself might come to _enjoy_ the voltage. If you do, you may _keep_ the tinfoil knickers. Call it our gift to you. So. Get Penicilin, get a job, get the hair shaved out of your ears, nose, & off your back and polychromatic baboon-like behind. ---

I think I understand. You perceive an American victory in Afghanistan, and being a Leaf fan, you are so unfamiliar with victory that you embrace it heartily. ---
