[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 4832392, member: 48469"] Nobody cares what you think about the situation in Afghanistan. But it probably wouldn't be a bad idea for you to at least have some respect for your fellow Canadians who have fought and died there. Even if you believe it'd be difficult for anyone to have respect for you because you spend your days spouting silly communist things in your underwear in the comfort of your evil capitalist mummy's basement.
