Belgians and Koreans were both ****ed by 2 different powerful neighbours.

Irish only got it from one (well, in medieval times and later, that is).

[Q Classic]

well, the chinese never really ****ed the koreans over. most of the ****ing-overs have been from japan.

[Nubclear]

Japan is close enough to be considered a bordernation to Korea

[KrazyHorse]

The Chinese took heavy tribute for a few hundred years, no?

[KrazyHorse]

Plus, Chinese and Japanese fought in Korea

Just like French and Germans fought in Belgium, mainly.

Bull****. You only remember the Japanese ****ing overs because they were so recent. In the greater scheme of things, China ****ed Korea over for a lot longer.

Go back and check your history again

Canada has placed covert officers on some flights into Washington, New York and Chicago for almost 2 years. They're the ones in the red Habs jerseys drinking heavily. So far there have been no incidence.

Actually, it's your history, not mine, which makes your seemingly complete ignorance about it quite troubling...

actually, we do. that's mostly a function of the eisenhower interstate system, though.

OK, I was refering too innercity travel though.

I'd actually say the Belgians are.

I was reading Q cubed's post and thought too myself, ohh, not the Belgians for once..

belgians secretly wish they were dutch.

Go wash your mouth with soap immediately young man!!

Apparently you are not talking about our history, so it must be yours.

Oh, I forgot, you are not Japanese, just a wanna be.

No they aren't, especially along the Eastern seaboard.

That's about the only place. Maybe California too, but that's it.

If you add the Seattle - Vancouver area, I think that's quite many Americans that could live with efficient train system, don't you?

I was under the impression the cops were of the plane's country of departure. IIUC, the British (who are always the first to happily obey to big bro US) have set up their own marshall force just one or two days ago.

This is just plain wrong.

The UK Air Marshall programme has been training for over a YEAR.

The UK air pilots Union are kicking up a stink - they want the same practice as adopted by the US air pilots (in brief; to know when air marshall(s) are on board; to retain pilot authority; to use low velocity non penentrating non incendiary rounds; etc etc.

They have NOT been given these safeguards and are threatening a boycott of flights to the US as a result.

The US govt is NOT at fault here; it's the pencil pecker packing Brit beauracrats.

Now, let me ask you this question. Will you feel safer if an Air France plane flies over the US with French Marshalls in it?

Depends on whether their family is Algerian in origin...

I'd rather have a trained air marshall with a weapon providing security on a plane than an untrained airline pilot.
