Well personally, being on the completely opposite side of the country and away from Alaska, I don't hear too much about Alaska where I live, be that positive or negative. The only news and information I have heard as of late from Alaska, was Sen. Palin being nominated as vice president. I'm not bashing Alaska when I say this, but just from what I heard, read and seen in regards to her and her ways, she is in no position to be vice president, and her apparent desire to influence her religious views into her profession in the Government, I already hate her guts.

But that has no relation to Alaska or the rest of the population, and I am certainly not going to paint the entire state with the same brush I shove into Palin's eye.

I know of a few people, including myself, who hate Texas for a few obvious reasons, I personally hate Washington DC, I hate a few of the more sourthern states, and I have a few tiffs over a few other states for varrying reasons (Generally speaking of course in regards to ideology, lack of enforcement of some laws, etc. etc.) And heck, there's a few States I probably wouldn't mind visiting, such as California.

I hope you are not basing your opinion of Texas on one person. That's so childish. You must have the mentality of a 4 year old. So, if you hate Texas because of Bush, how much should I hate Canada because of Harper?

And let's see you say you hate a few of the more southern states. Let me pick me a province to hate...so few. Manitoba. I hate Manitoba. What a stupid name. That the reason I hate Manitoba (NOT). I don't know how the members of this forum put up with you. You are an outright embarrassment to your country.

But when it comes to Alaska, not much in regards to negative reports or situations occuring there has tilted my perspective any..... however within some more time, I imagine more focus will be placed on Alaska when the whole Polar Disputes start getting a bit more intense..... as you're the State that much of the focus would be on when that does occur.

But other then that, I neither like or dislike Alaska at the time being. Once more focus and information comes my way in regards to your State, then I will determine then how I feel.... be that more positive or negative.

What is your college degree in? Bush squatting? Incoherent babbling? Fecal sculpture?

''Heather Mallick doesn't like ANYONE who doesn't live their life according to her plans, so the fact that she doesn't like Sarah Palin means nothing "

Au contraire; it probably means she's damn smart!!:lol:

I've been reading her for years in the Globe and Mail. She tells it like she sees it. Once in a while, that corresponds to reality. Not often, but once in a while.

More of an opinionated pain in the ass. I have some in my family. I usually just smile, nod, and grab another beer.

Jumping the gun before clearly understanding the situation are we? Thanks for proving my point, speaking of childish. You didn't even wait to hear an actual response before you started shooting off your ignorant mouth.

To clarify, no, I don't hate Texas just because of one person....That would be contradicting what I already said " for as long as I can remember I never liked Texas. As I said "Generally speaking of course in regards to ideology, lack of enforcement of some laws, etc.".... The culture, the mentality, how you express yourself here as well, all add up, among many other things, to my personal choice of not liking Texas..... many many other things I'm not about to get into right now, because this thread is about Alaska, Not Texas..... get off your high horse.

Bush is just the icing on the cake.

Oh and guess what? Not everybody is going to like a paticular location or it's culture..... get fk'n used to it princess.

Feel free to hate Canada or any paticular province all you want..... hell, Hate Nova Scotia, I couldn't give a living-twitching shat what you like or don't like..... perhaps you should do the same.

And let's see you say you hate a few of the more southern states. Let me pick me a province to hate...so few. Manitoba. I hate Manitoba. What a stupid name. That the reason I hate Manitoba (NOT). I don't know how the members of this forum put up with you. You are an outright embarrassment to your country.

Lick me where I poop.

How's that for representing my country?

Once again, I'm not about to get into a long debate on why I don't like certain States in the US..... this is about a Northern State, AKA: Alaska. If you want to go on about somone not liking the area in which you live or your culture, then start another thread, otherwise, piss off eh.

What is your college degree in? Bush squatting? Incoherent babbling? Fecal sculpture?

For your own education, Colleges here in Canada have diplomas, Universities have Degrees.

My diplomas revolve around graphic design and animation, which includes being creative in pissing people off like you.

If my husband didn't have cancer - aw heck - I'll take you own my self, broken bones and all. You don't have any guts. You would take one look at me, and say - NEVERMIND.

Hey there, boy, you don't talk like that to an old lady. You show respect.

Bush is just the icing on the cake.

Since you live on a bush, you should be an expert. I looked up your city, and our suburbs are bigger than 191,000 people. As you yourself have said, it is not the size of the idle wasteland that matters. Rather, it is the people. Look up Plano, TX and stick that in your wrinkly craw. Then get at the end of the line.

Oh and guess what? Not everybody is going to like a paticular location or it's culture..... get fk'n used to it princess. QUEEN.

Feel free to hate Canada or any paticular province all you want..... hell, Hate Nova Scotia, I couldn't give a living-twitching shat what you like or don't like..... perhaps you should do the same.

I don't hate any province. What's wrong with you that you hate so many things?

Lick me where I poop.

Well, kiss me then. I'll close my eyes.

How's that for representing my country?

Damn poor job. Pitiful. Shameful. If you talked to me TO MY FACE --in person-- the way you do on this forum behind a clock of distance -- a couple of rednecks would straighten you out. And I wouldn't even have to ask.

Oh THAT. My daughter has a degree in engineering and one in public relations. The other has a degree in culinary cuisince, clinical dietetics, biology and organic chemistry. So, in other words, your degree is in fecal sculpture. :roll::lol:

Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine, described Sarah Palin as "George Bush in drag" during her guest slot on Real Time with Bill Maher on Sept. 19th. (http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=uCHBLt-w9wE) and Sarah Palin's candidacy (http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=snvUA_smXwo).

Oh good.

Naomi Klein and Heather Mallick.

There's two wonderful people............:roll:

I suggest we send them on the first manned mission to Mars.....and ****ing leave them there. The world would be a better place.

Better a thousand Sarah Palins as VP of the USA than one Klein/Mallick in any position with more power than a dog catcher (Geezus, pity the poor dogs!)

Luckily, both are merely journalists........

Hither and yon
I have come to this forum in search of an answer. It was the first one listed in my Google search for Canadian forums. It has been said by others that there is no love lost between Canadians and Americans. It has also been said that there is no love lost between Canadians and Alaskans, only entitlement. Through the years I have heard some really ugly things said about Canadian/American political opinions from citizens of both countries and I've heard just as ugly things said by both Alaskans/Canadians as bordering neighbors.

I am an Alaska and live in the city of Anchorage. I personally, don't know too many Canadians. My husband and I knew one family in particular here that transferred with the oil industry. The husband worked in the oil industry. They moved back to Canada within two years as the husband's job was completed. I can't say really what I thought of them as Canadians. I never really thought about them as Canadians, I was too busy thinking about them as friends. Prior to their transfer here, the wife had made me a diaper bag for my daughter when she was an infant and her husband brought it with him on a business trip here. I was blessed by her kindness before I even met her in person. When I did meet her, she and I became fellow gigglers. She was an old soul like me even though we were young at the time. We had fun together while they lived here. So there is my experience with Canadians in a nutshell. The only other experience I have is watching Candace Olsen's Divine Design on HG-TV. The only thing I know about Canadian life is what I watch from that particular program because we don't get any other Canadian programming.

That being said, I would like to ask some of you, the real truth behind the "Alaskans hate Canadians" and "Canadians hate Alaskans." Do you like Alaskans or do you not like Alaskans? There has been quite a bit of talk at office water coolers around all over Alaska about what Heather Mallick has said, there has even been quite a bit of talk about it on the boob tube the world over. I don't care about that. For me, it's nothing but a distraction because it didn't come from the people. It did, however, incite in me the interest of finding out the sentiment of Canadians on their relationship or lack of relationship with Alaskans. Is it favorable or unfavorable?

I don't wish to engage in a debate or push a "hot" button. I just want your viewpoints. :smile:

Hiya Coffeegirl,

Well first off you have to get by the envy thing.
A lot of people in a lot of places have issues with the USA.
In my opinion some of it is founded in jealousy
The old "king of the hill" thing.
And lets face it, money and power wise you guys are the "king of the hill".
So far anyway.

Once you get by that that, a lot of Canadians have problems with your Government.
The problem is, as I see it, is that most Canadians don't realize that a lot of Americans have similar issues with your Government.
As far as Canadians are concerned it would be a pleasant change if the American government would quit telling us what to do.
I do realize that Americans have been screwed (by default) into being the planetary policeman however most Canadians feel we neither need nor want advice from GB.
Your government also has a history of bullying its neighbors on occasion.
Canadians feel that is dirty pool.
Look up Nafta and the softwood lumber issue.
Also check into the wild salmon treaties on the west coast between Alaska, BC, Washington and Oregon.
In short we got lied to and screwed.

After that it's all good.
I like America, it's a beautiful country and I like Americans.I have American friends.
I have worked in several States and i lived on and off in Texas for three years.
Your government is hounding me to get a green card but I think I will pass as I don't plan on working much down south anymore.

Whats the difference between a rancher in Southern Alberta and Washington?
A guide or trapper in the Yukon or Alaska?
An organic dairy farmer in Ontario or Illinois?
Not much I figure.

I have worked with a bunch of Alaskans and spent a fair bit of time in the high arctic.
Fun-loving bunch up there if I do say so.
I would be happy to call an American a friend or neighbor.
In fact I already have.
I plan on spending a lot more time wandering about in the States,
its a good place.
Best of luck with your countries banking issues..I hope not to many of the regular folks get hurt in the fall-out.

What is the percentage of fundementalist christians in Alaska? I have heard and read that it's a very religious state.

Alaska is one of the least religious states in the US, Beaver.
http://www.nationalpost.com/news/world/story.html?id=780757

"-Only 22% of Alaskans attend church weekly, compared with 39% of Americans.-27% of Alaskans describe themselves as atheists, agnostic or "nothing in particular," compared with 16% of Americans."

If my husband didn't have cancer - aw heck - I'll take you own my self, broken bones and all. You don't have any guts. You would take one look at me, and say - NEVERMIND.

I point out your own screw up and now you want to get physical with some faceless person on the internet, in another country?

You need to grow up, and the Cancer sympathy card doesn't work with me, I've already lost a few family members from it and none of it has anything to do with the debate/topic in question. Get over yourself.

I expressed my so-called "God-Given" opinion and what I like and don't like.... you jumped the gun and began to act like an ignorant jerk before even understanding the situation.... and now you're doing it again...... and you're getting pissed off at me?

If you think the term "Ignorant" is an insult, then you best look up the term and understand it well. Then maybe you won't be ignorant anymore.

You were ignorant on the reasons of why I don't like Texas, you started to throw out your own ignorant assumptions as to why I don't like Texas, and now you're getting all pissy because of your ignorance and want to attempt to beat me up because I pointed out your ignorant ways.

Good job.

Hey there, boy, you don't talk like that to an old lady. You show respect.

Too bad... respect is earned, not given, and I have encountered a lot more older people who are a lot more assholish then I who have no clue as to what the word "Respect" means. Your age means nothing, you're a human like everybody else, with all the same flaws as everybody else, including myself.

If you want to come all up on here and start sh*tting all over me because I said something you didn't like, that wasn't even directed to you, and show me no respect for me expressing my honest opinion, then you can kiss my ass.

You started the disrespect, not I.... as soon as you show some respect, it will be returned in kind. If you can put two fingers to the keyboard and express yourself in the way you are, then you get treated just the same as everybody else.

Deal with it.

Can't? Simple solution: Turn off the computer and walk away.

Your age doesn't give you a free card to be a jerk who can avoid response.

Since you live on a bush, you should be an expert. I looked up your city, and our suburbs are bigger than 191,000 people. As you yourself have said, it is not the size of the idle wasteland that matters. Rather, it is the people. Look up Plano, TX and stick that in your wrinkly craw. Then get at the end of the line.

I said what now? By all means, show me a quote of what I said so I can understand wtf you're going on about.

And quite honestly, if I wanted to live in a city with more then 200,000 people infesting a small patch on the earth, I would have already moved there. I live where the hell I want to live, not because it's the popular thing to do. I make my own decisions and I stand by them.

But you know, you are right.... it's not the location, it's the people, and it's the people that generally make me hate Texas. Your narrow perspective and close minded view in this thread is certainly helping me hold true to that view of the people of Texas.

You're being close minded, you're being arrogant in regards to your omnipotence over everybody outside of where you live, and any conflicting point of view or opinion that you disagree with, you have to attack, rather then just accept it.

Explain to me why the hell would I want to live in an area filled with people like that? Explain to me why I wouldn't hate Texas after you clearly express all the traits I hate?


Anybody who bickers and moans about stupid things get's called a princess by me... male or female... get used to it.

I don't hate any province. What's wrong with you that you hate so many things?

Hating things means there is something wrong with those things and need to be changed. If I just smiled and acted all happy about everything in the world, everything would stay the same, nobody would see the problems that exist, and those problems will continue down the hill like a big giant snow ball, getting bigger and bigger.

I voice my opinion and my views as I see fit, which is well within my and everybody else's right to do so.

I suppose the entire world could be loaded up on anti-depressants to make them feel there isn't anything wrong with the world, but just something wrong with themselves, and life can continue the way it currently is..... but it solves nothing.

Nothing can change, nothing can improve, nothing can get better, if nobody speaks out and stands up for what they believe in.

I hate just about as many things as I like.... life is a balance, it can not be completely evil and it can't be full of Care Bears spreading joy and happiness. Maybe someday, but not today.

Damn poor job. Pitiful. Shameful. If you talked to me TO MY FACE --in person-- the way you do on this forum behind a clock of distance -- a couple of rednecks would straighten you out. And I wouldn't even have to ask.

Well if you can't take what you dish out, then that's not my problem. To me, I don't give a sh*t if you'r 14 years old or 120 years old..... I don't care if you're male, female, black, white, christian, jewish, muslim..... anything..... you are text on a screen and a picture in the corner to me.

If I am attacking anything, I am attacking your opinion, your point of view, and what you say to me and others..... I am sure that in real life, you are probably a very nice and respectible person, but your actions and what you say online do not reflect that, and I treat everybody's opinions in the exact same way...... whether you are from Canada, the US, the UK, or anywhere else in the world.

Just remember, I came into this thread being respectible, straight forward and honest.... you dragged this into the sh*t, not I.

Oh THAT. My daughter has a degree in engineering and one in public relations. The other has a degree in culinary cuisince, clinical dietetics, biology and organic chemistry. So, in other words, your degree is in fecal sculpture.


Uncle

The problem is, I'm talking to you, not your kids. Clearly, you have no post secondary education of your own, or else you would have shot that off in defense, rather then you're kid's.

And to express what you just did in regards to my education and what I actually contribute to society with my education and experience, clearly shows how ignorant you truly are.

Now that we're done with that, could we please get back to the fk'n topic?

As a reminder, the topic is about Alaska and what Canadians think of them..... not what we think about you and Texas.

I have at least contributed to the topic.... all you did was side track this whole thing with your own short-minded rants to someone who doesn't like where you live. Either stop trolling and contribute to the debate, or just leave and venture into another thread.

Pretty please with sprinkles on top.

To be fair, I also hate texas. I despise it with the burning hatred of a thousand suns. Wanna know why?
