There is truth, there are lies and there are opinions. The truth stands
on its own. Lies are what they are - a contradition of truth. An opinion
is a statement that cannot be proved to be either true or false. You
can't hold an opinion about something that is known to be true - either
you are telling the truth or you are lying.

If someone offers an opinion, you can accept it as it stands and consider
whether or not you agree with it. Truth has nothing to do with it.

If you reject others' opinions outright, as you have so clearly demostrated
you willingness to do, then it is clear that you are not interested in anyone
else's opinion, in spite of your claims. In other words, you're a liar.

That was a
impressive poll, with impressive numbers, that does not prove
anything.

It demonstrates what a large number of Canadians think of Bush. What else
does it have to prove?

and what a
bunch of Tories believe up in Canada, didn't matter 200 years ago, and
matters now even less, no matter how loud and long they stomp and
squeal.

You don't know what a Tory is, do you?

If you think that what people in other countries think is unimportant,
then you are ignorant of the importance of international politics. But
then, that's what a lot of people find typical among Americans. You
don't know or care about what happens outside your borders and then
you don't understand why no one outside your borders automatically
agrees with you. America is a debtor country and in a few decades will
be much less significant compared to growing economic powers like China
and a more united Europe. Don't you think you'll be needing a few
friends?

Can you accept what I say just because I say it, or because it is true
fact, the Dems lost!!

This has nothing to do with anything I posted. Quit ranting.
