MLB orders Foulke to take Flag off baseball cap.

[ensanimal]

I believe there should be an U.S. Flag on all uniforms, not necesarily the hat, but it should be somewhere.

What about Montreal and Toronto?

Montreal wont be in Canada for any more than a year, and does anyone really care about Toronto? (besides Jackal and Mookie )

i'm pretty sure montreal will be in canada for more than a year. the expos may not be, but i'm pretty sure montreal will be.

Not so fast ensanimal. The Bloq Quebecois did very well in the last election - Montreal may not be in Canada in a few years. (For the Americans - Quebec wants to separate and take Montreal with them into a new country).

And as for the flag - we can put the flag on our uniforms but can we sew them in upside down?

Does anyone remember what happened at game 2 of the 1992 World Series?

how about we use this flag?

even though the bloc did well, i still don't see them seperating. i know many bloc supporters, and most would not want to seperate. i think that even if they have another referendum, they will lose once again.

at least that's what i'm hoping, or else i'd have to move outta here.

Ha good job catching that! I meant the Expos, though the real world link was quite nice. I forgot about that Quebec wanting to secede. Stupid Frenchies.

Never heard anything about this. Why do they want to break off from Canada?

hmmm...its only been an issue for the past 30 yrs .

A terrorist organization developed in the 70s called the FLQ (Quebec Liberation Front) and they actually kidnapped and murdered a Quebec cabinet minister (Pierre Laporte). The Quebec police arrested my uncle because he had the same name as the guy they thought was involved and my Dad had to go and bail him out of jail. (all true)

(am I hijacking this thread??)

A really cool prime minister (Pierre Trudeau) called in the army and there were tanks stationed around Montreal ready to roll in. Things cooled down very fast. (this is true too) I think that we just cut off the supply of wine and they caved. (this is not so true but I like to think it is)

They want to separate because they think that they are unique, being french and all (plus I think that we give them too much money).

[CubsFan7724]

For some reason it seems that French people are nothing but trouble. You should let them secede, then conquer them. It would be hilarious!

Sorry. My knowledge of Canadien history leaves much to be desired.

"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind." -Albert Einstein

Did you ever read the document from which that quote is extracted? I am assuming you did not because tagging it onto this thread is innapropriate.

"Patriotism, the virtue of the vicious." - Oscar Wilde

Again, perhaps you should try reading Wilde. He's referring to the evils of man in the guise of patriotism. Not simply lofting a flag because someone is proud of his country's people.

LOL.

Looks like bboy is taking lessons from Michael Moore.

The end does NOT justify the means.
