So I prompted that? Wow, I never knew I was so powerful. ;)
I actually liked what you had to say. I get rather aggravated when I'm visiting political threads at message boards and posters from the right wing will start slagging France, or Canada, or any other country because they don't spend trillions of dollars on their military.
On at least five occasions, I've seen someone post something like, "Wow, Canada has a military?" followed by a photo of someone in a rubber dinghy, with the words "Royal Canadian Navy" badly Photoshopped on the side.

Somehow Google has disabled that one, though.
I read somewhere recently that Google was accepting payment to bump pages up, though, which is probably why you'll see Wikipedia and IMDB pages consistently come up at the top.)

No? That's too bad. :( I guess too many people did it, and it ruined the joke.
