General Chat / Dear Canada,

This kind of thing is so old. And when combined with Tyler's attempts at humor, it is just annoying. The most ironic moment of the whole post is "you're counting these scrubs to protect you from a terrorist invasion." We aren't concerned with terrorists because we don't go insulting other countries. The only country that Canadians ever make fun of is America, generally due to the population's general disregard for world events and inability to respect other cultures and countries. Granted that is just as much a generalization about America's population as Tylers story is about Canada.

^ Haha, almost every Canadian I meet on Xbox LIVE makes fun of America. The funny thing is, most of their insults are true for many Americans.

i think you missed the point, Natelox.

it is commentary on the United States, not Canada.

We might be ignorant, but we can take a joke.

I found that pretty funny. That's what we're all aboot. Eh?

we're at war! it's fence-sitters like you who can't even decide what country they live in or what language they speak that are ruining The Greatest President Ever's plan for success.

Plus! It EMBOLDENS THE ENEMY!!!!!

@ Tyler:
If you are serious with this text:
Go and STFU!
I hope you once will be able to look beyond your own midwest nose!
Why do so many americans see themselves as the creation's crowning glory?
What about assuming responsibility for the whole mess the "U. S. and A.'s" highly praised "world police" is doing to the whole fuckin' world?
What about assuming responsibility for your enviromental pollution? Why will the whole humanity once pay for the frailties the USA does these days?

we're america, we don't need to worry about the other countries because they aren't as good as us.

unless they are a direct* threat to us! then we kills bitches.


*debatable.

The whole thing isn't about any countries or territories...
It's about human.
And we're all human, aren't we? So why are there some that think they are better than others?
If there's a god (what I don't believe), he has createt us all equal.
And if there isn't a god, then it should be in our own interest to treat all other human as our equals.
Because if some idiots on the other side of the big lake believe that the're better than others, mankind will annihilate itself one day. And then it won't matter if you're american or canadian or chinese or whatever. It'll matter that you're human being, because they all will be gone forever.

no see you don't get it. americans are the best.
period.

Rick Mercer's Talking To Americans is really funny, but hey, Stephen Colbert could easily go to Toronto and ask a bunch of dumb questions and filter out all the people that answer right. Rick dosnt show the Americans that are not idiots, whats shocking is that there are people who think Canada has a Woodie, and Igloo Parliment, a prime minister named Jean Poutine, and FM radio, which is now made legal along with the VCR.

Yeah, dumbass. USA is the only country that matters.

i was serious, actually.

the United States is the greatest country run by the Greatest President ever.

I'd like to count how many countries hate Americans, but I only have 10 fingers. But it's not the American people I hate, it's the government.

I have been to America, its a nice place, to judge all Americans by the acts of one man is prejudice, all the people I met were nice. And at Cedar Point at the opening of the park where they have the national anthem, there were two guys singing along, I respect patriotism, no matter what country your from, and Americans on average are the most patriotic. Americans are REALLY patriotic, I mean, I love my country, but I dont want to have sex with it.

The Nazis were pretty patriotic.

stfu

I met a man once that spent four hours to talking to me, in the end it turned out that his motive was to convince me that the americans and the nazis are living on the moon. That the CIA here known as MK Ultra is controlling us and there are techniques to amplify energy that you are not allowed to know about. He was convinced he survived three assasination attempts, and that he'll build the machine that amplifies energy and put it to use in Afrika. He was sure he had a way of cleansing water with it.

Now to the real point, Americans are phony people.. but phony people are generally nice. Stupid, brainwashed people are generally nice as well. I think it's all biological, the people that moved to the US were the ones looking for a new beginning. New, and fair chances in the land of opportunity. So without doubt your ancestors weren't the successful here. Given that the really poor never made it out of here either, i'd still say the really smart people aren't located in the states. Look what you people choose for president!

But really, it's just amazing how people in america believe, figuratively speaking, that they're the only ones. And it's stunning at how the rest of the world views america, no one would believe the actual poverty that makes up large portions of the US. Everyone just sees one big country of wealth and opportunity and hardly anyone realises that without a social care system of some sort people are below humane levels of poverty.

Europe has her own problems, though, definitely. For one, even with supranational instances we can hardly agree on anything. Now they want to forbid smoking in restaurants, cafés and even discotheques. Will be one strange world when it's common to walk out in the freezing cold to smoke a cig your night out in a club.

Kind of like America, then.

Personally I'm all for getting cigarettes out of public places though.
