But they can vote weapons grade f*#ktards into office! They may even shame us on that ability.

Ok cowboy time to get up & go get some fresh air


Edit-


Don't need an excuse, I'm not driven to the point of trolling.

Being trolled, however is a different story.

It is indeed full of people. Most of whom have a Napoleon complex about their allie to the South.


One day the trees and ore will be all gone and they will look around and wish they'd done things a little different.

Although I was born in Seattle and spent the majority of my life here, the rest of my family and relatives are Canadian. We left the US when I was 5 and spent my early school years north of the border, and many summers. Although I love America, I'd have to agree with WB when he says, Stoopid Americans! We had plenty of them traveling the Cabot trail, which we lived on. It was a major transition moving to the states, and each time we returned from vacations. Totally different mindset. Generally speaking, Canadians can adjust to living in the US, blend in and appropriately adapt. But, from personal observation/imo, most Americans will always be just that, Americans, wherever they go. NTTIAWWT.

edit: i did say "most" meaning; not all. there are a fair share of peeps here in the US that aren't stoopid, imho! It's just that, being an American seems to somehow gone to peoples heads, to varying degrees. Sort of an unhealthy superiority complex of sorts. It was drilled into us from a young age. Media, schooling, surroundings, etc! The way they/we present ourselves, yada, yada. But, we do owe a great debt to America, that is the Greatest Generation. They were ready to die for the freedom of the world. And many did. That was, and is the American way. And I'm proud of that.

"...fair share of peeps here in the US that aren't stoopid." - Most dirtbag climbers, especially ones that I new from bitd, for instance!

NO WAY

I can spot a canuck a mile away! You no tipping, clean cut, pursed lip, awful driving, lot that you are;-).

Or just listen for......."it's so cheap"

.

Let me break it to ya brother. We're all the same and that's what kills you canucks the most!


Cultures and countries are too big to generalize and we should celebrate all of them. The US does, cause we are made up of all of them.

Little brainbuster for ya...THe US has more illegal mexicans (30mil) then CA has legal citizens.

Peas man,

Edit: dude, just googled : NTTIAWWT! Very cool. I'm going to use that one.

WRONG.

We, our American culture, changes people! And not necessarily for the better.

I've seen individual after indivdual, family after family move to the US to make a better life for themselves. Yes, they made more MONEY, the Sacred American Buck, etc! But, it came at cost. American culture is FU, period. And getting worse by the moment. To begin with, materialism run amok. Open your eyes.

since you're expanding your 'cabulary, google TANSTAAFL

Since I'm Canadian I don't have to google it. I already know what it means. But... Hmmmm... It was coined by an American. Does that mean I can't use it for free?

Just got back from No frils... What'd i miss?

So much generalization and N=1 thinking man...

YEs it changes people, however I've spent a lot of time in my country all over just living. 15 states in my adult life. You see good, you see bad.. Same as everywhere.

Here's a good. So in this very strict muslim area in a big city in the mid-west. I mean strict like they are still castrating little girls and sh#t. I'm walking along and across the street I see a fam. Wife in head to toe cover, guy very stern looking, but the daughter in reg. clothes with a book bag and what not. Long story short the little girl runs ahead meets up with a friend and their fam. As she's going to depart with them, she turns and gives her old man a high five(!) Super cool.

Look man, good and bad. You may be in a bad place and that's a large part of it, but most countries are too big and too reginal to generalize about all the sh#t i hear you guys go on and on about.

I most recently moved from Boulder, CO and I'd bet that whole city has a lower body fat index than any in CA. You guys don't seem to realize we have almost 400,000,000 people legal and illegal in our great and diverse country. We have more people who live on farms and in small towns they your entire population!!!!!

Cultures should be celebrated. All of them.

I was referring to the 60's and 70's primarily. My parents sold their place and left Canada in the mid 80's,that was the last time I crossed the border. There probably isn't significant difference between the two countries now, except in the more rural areas.

I left during grammar school and we moved to the states, first NY, then shortly after SoCal. I noticed a significant difference in the way students behaved in the classroom, particularly in California. We had great respect for teachers in Cape Breton. We looked up to them and valued education and the knowledge and opportunities it afforded. In NY and particularly California, there was a lack of respect and a general testing of authority. And, obviously, it's gone downhill ever since.

"Stoopid" - Lame would be an more appropriate definition. The consensus was, most wouldn't survive a Cape Breton winter, that was why they only ventured there during the summer.

Draggin' this dumb-ass thread back into the light.

One thing Canadians do pretty well (and not just because the USA does it, either) is to import things from other cultures, like BASEBALL (joke) and dancing to Rockabilly (happens to be a minor backwater in rock 'n roll to a lot of kiddies--you don't know what you been missin').

They are the subjects of her putrid majesty. Mere peons doing the dirty colonial business of the rotting empire.
