Is this the Holy Grail thread? I am lost again.

omegajim · 03-17-2008, 10:56 PM

back to the origins of the thread.......

Portugal!

frostbitevinnie · 03-18-2008, 04:50 AM

Now there is a country rarely spoken of.

**Clint** · 03-18-2008, 06:59 AM

I hate to say No Portuguese, but, ahhh... No Portuguese.

What situation is that?

that was the revolutionary war;

the country was close to bankruptcy, we couldn't afford to pay the military and had we not won the battle of Yorktown we'd be in the same boat as Canada.

frostbitevinnie · 03-18-2008, 06:12 PM

Now where did the Portugal discussion go? Clint did you stomp that one out?

omegajim · 03-18-2008, 06:14 PM

I'm not following. What "boat" is Canada in?

omegajim · 03-18-2008, 06:22 PM

Canada is in a different boat than us; more socialistic, more gov't regulated.

Which, when times are bad as they are now, looks tempting. At least to some it does.

The downside is that Canada was basically considered a colony of the UK. Great Britain finally allowed it to be an independent country in 1964.

Sgt Mike · 03-18-2008, 07:24 PM

GB didn't have a choice in the matter. Canada was going it's own way weather the Brits liked it or not. In a ceremonial gesture the queen signed the paper work, I don't think that it meant that much to most Canadians,,,, the paperwork that is.

when it comes to great military comeback, a Hanna Barbera cartoon character really says something.

What that something is I HAVE NO IDEA.

To be honest if it is not some kind of documentary, history related, blah blah then I don't watch it. Never seen the show only commercials. Sorry for being in the dark, I likes it that way.
