I get paid. You FAIL
FAIL
And...
A Canadian site whose servers are managed in the United States. And we spell it L-A-B-O-R here and it seems parts of Canada does as well!
You FAIL
Wow... you seem to be more jealous of us than most!
So what is your reason? You feel a lack of national identity? Culture? Relevance?
BAHAHAHAHA! Damn right it's to ensure we aren't mistaken for Americans. Cuts down the chances of being attacked or kidnapped and also gets us friendly treatment wherever we might be.
Unfortunately it isn't a myth, lots of US travelers use maple leafs to hide their nationality.
Now there's a moral quandary. If you kill a Canadian thinking he's an American, have you morally and righteously rid the world of a war criminal, or murdered a good person?
"A" for honesty.
Wow... you Canucks are really paranoid!
Until it comes time to tip!
Nah... just something Canadians came up with. Everyone knows Canucks plaster the flag all over their bags. I travel a lot and enough internationally. Nobody has Canadian flags on their bags.
But if the myth makes you feel good about yourself Nick... then it has done its job!
I'm glad. Somebody on a US site said differently and I took him at his word. Thank you.
Of course that would be in the urban and poverty areas... which are naturally "blue" controlled.
Probably a Canadian.
Like Alabama? Gawja? Louisiana? Mississippi? Land of the branchless family trees.
Boy, good thing you don't stereotype.
By the way, does your hatred for Americans extend to non-whites? I ask because Alabama is 1/3 non-white, Georgia's 45% non-white, Louisiana's 40% non-white, and Mississippi's 42% non-white.
Do the non-whites also have "branchless family trees?"
The cities in those states...Mobile... Atlanta... New Orleans... Jackson... all blue baby!
That would be Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. You know what I'm talking about too don't you? lol... you know.
'Most Wanted' American jihadist rapper killed in Somalia
An American who became one of Somalia's most visible Islamic rebels and was on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list was killed Thursday by rivals in the extremist group al-Shabab, militants said.
The killing of Omar Hammami, a native of Daphne, Alabama, may discourage other would-be jihadis from the U.S. and elsewhere from traveling to Somalia, terrorism experts said.
Hammami, who was known as Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki, or "the American," was killed in an ambush in southern Somalia following months on the run after falling out with al-Shabab's top leader, militants said.
Reports of Hammami's death have cropped up every few months in Somalia, only for him to resurface a short while later. But J.M. Berger, a U.S. terrorism expert who closely follows the inner workings of al-Shabab, said he thinks the current death reports are accurate.
The rebels did not immediately present proof of Hammami's death.
Hammami was highly critical of Shabab's leadership over the past year and freely shared his views in Internet videos and on Twitter, making him a marked man.
Somalia has been an attractive destination for foreign fighters, and about two dozen Somali-Americans from Minneapolis have joining al-Shabab in the past several years. Hammami's death will hurt the group's recruitment efforts, said Abdirizak Bihi, an advocate for the Somali community in Minnesota and the uncle of a young man killed in Somalia in 2008.
"We always knew the Somalis inside Somalia knew that al-Shabab was bad," Bihi said. "We were concerned about the Somalis in the diaspora … who never really knew the facts on the ground and were always manipulated and misled."
"So that's why it's a victory. They now know exactly what al-Shabab is, as much as the Somalis inside."
Terrorism expert Clint Watts wrote on his blog, Selectedwisdom.com, that Hammami's plight "probably soured recruitment pipelines from the West into Somalia."
Along with Adam Gadahn in Pakistan — a former Osama bin Laden spokesman — the 29-year-old Hammami was one of the two most notorious Americans in jihadi groups. He grew up in Daphne, a community of 20,000 outside Mobile, the son of a Christian mother and a Syrian-born Muslim father.
His YouTube videos that featured him rapping and his presence on Twitter made him one of the most recognizable and studied U.S. foreign fighters. The FBI put Hammami on its Most Wanted Terrorist list in 2012 and offered a $5 million reward in March for information leading to his capture.
U.S. prosecutors had charged Hammami with providing material support to terrorists.
In Alabama, Husam Omar, vice president of the Islamic Society in Mobile, a mosque Hammami once attended, said he had not heard of the reports of his death.

Sweet! I was waiting for them to get this guy.
Killed by his own... seems to be a lot of that these days!

Interesting that Canadian lefties revere Carter.
I wonder if they know that, as Governor of Georgia, he led the charge to get William Calley pardoned.
