Deleted1217574User Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 I've never heard if a death linked to water moccasins. But Steve Irwin was not killed on dry land. A whipray impaled him through the chest with a very large poisoned barb. And you can find those pretty much anywhere with warm shallow oceans. And you'll have to forgive me but I really dont understand patriotism-or nationalism. As far as Im concerned we're all human till we start shooting at other humans simply for diagreements. Some people very easily stand up and go into a raving fervour about their homeland. I dont understand this. It's most common in america and europe-and in very small countries. So I often wonder if those patriots would be half as zealous had they been born in somalia, or cambodia. I just can not empathise with it at all, this hyper possesiveness over a patch of rock you didnt even evolve on. Especialy when it's a puny rock. The one's I understand the least are nations like north korea. Pitifuly weak militarily, with an outdated military and a seemingly rather unreliable nueclear program as liekly to blow themselves up as us, but still constantly howling imposible threats and raving about their "undending might". I agree, man. I was just kidding about it all anyway. I mean, I'm personally not a huge fan of my country at all. Yeah, it's great for some things, but others... Eh, not so much. Sorry if I came across as overly zealous, I just meant it all in good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindekarr Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Canada is a country I like-it seems to treasure the bizaar and wierd like nowhere else, atleast, judging b the 20 or so canadian's I've met, almost all of whom were free spirited, expressive, and quirky.
