American Ignorance About Canada

[TenPenny]

Nothing brings out the "true patriot love" in Canadian, than chance to go Yankee-bashing.

In what sense do you mean 'Yankee'?

We went to Boston last week for a few days, the only rude person we met was the waitress in a bar. If I owned the place, I would have fired her ass. Everyone else was as nice as we were expecting. But then again, we go to Maine at least once a year, so we know what to expect.

 

[YukonJack]

Ya, don't ya just hate Canadians that love Canada more than they love the u.s.? Bet you just can't understand that, can ya jackie boy.

You don't need to teach me about patriotism, gerryh. Just because I don't express it by bad-mouthing Americans, doesn't mean that I love Canada less than those of uber-patriotic Canadians who take pleasure in doing so.

I think it a safe bet that if Americans implied that some province of Canada is renown for inbreeding, Canadians would not consider it funny.

I know Americans who have no problem making fun of other states-particularly the south.

As for a Canadian province renown for inbreeding...New Brunswick? I don't know. We have an inbred head of state (Queen), so they could get away with making fun of us for that.

That is too easy - inbreeding.

I thought he was asking about Arkansas, not north-central BC...

 

[YukonJack]

I know you will tell me to go **** myself for being a Yankee-lover, but I risk asking you: Can you provide proof that the people of Arkansas are any more inbred than the people of British Columbia?

It would more likely be NS. There used to be quite a few communities in NS with incredible occurences of hemaphrodism and various other conditions due to generations of inbreeding, so much so that the medical students would go there to learn about them.

Nope. It is an urban myth and a joke, but I realize that anything said about the United States of Aggression is taboo in your world.

United States of Aggression... as Canada leads the bombing of Libya.

Such hypocricy.

Did they ask my permission? No. Harpo does not represent my interests and his Americanization of Canada is criminal. But compared to a century of aggression on the world stage, Canada's foray into that world of murder and mayhem is rather insignificant. None the less, it is a terrible blight on our reputation and soul. Damn Harper! Fuggin' scumbag!

At least we didn't do anything unilaterally, like the US in Iraq. Its a UN mandate. Better to get involved than sit and watch a massacre.

Yup, why be a bystander when you can get your own hands bloody, eh!???

Better than letting another Rwanda happen. We get blood on our hands either way.

If it wasn't for Libyan oil, do you think we would be involved? The lack of oil is why Rwanda was/is allowed to happen.

We have more oil ourselves than Libya does.

True, but the UN doesn't. The oil is for Europeans. We needed an excuse to justify buying 65 new stealth jets so we can play with the big boys in the murder and mayhem game.

The new jets which we wont get for quite few years and therefore will not be used in this mission.

This is simple paranoia. The Europeans don't need a whole lot of oil compared to the US, and they want out already.

So as long as some other countries give you the thumbs up it is OK to bomb their brains out. Got ya.

Did you type this with a straight face?

That is no excuse.

Really? Canada has pretty much been involved in every conflict! Fighting... Peacekeeping (lol)... and had ringside seats to one of histories biggest genocides!

It wasn't an excuse. I have as much say in what the Canadian government does as you do yours. Which is why I consider myself a citizen of Mother Earth. Canada does not represent me or my interests and all I can do is express my objection to it. Anything I do above and beyond that would get me jail time or dead.

Not taboo, but some 'jokes' are just plain stupid and tasteless and chauvinistic.

Well it kinda makes your insults fall a little flat. One of those "people in glass houses" things.

But how about that new guy!

"Better than watching a massacre."

Wasn't that hilarious!?
