my point exactly. You live ina built-up, well-populated area. You won't see what you claim doesnt exist because you're looking in the places where it cannot exist.
Canada has very little patriotism...

This is about patriotism over-all... and their sure is no patriotism "regionally" in Canada... this is patriotism overall.
And Canada is just as "national" as the USA... I believe this as fact.
West, you're so fulla sh|t, it's in the first amendment that the church and state be kept separate. Read this, you moron:

Um, that's the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the USA, BTW.

Show me where there is no seperation of church and state within their constitution. Quote the exact text. Thanks.
Again West, I don't know how you can possibly think you speak for your generation. I am part of your generation. Perhaps you skipped my post. Take it for what you will. Maybe it's not typical of our generation, I have nothing to go on to say I speak for our generation. I'd like to know how it is you think that you can.
Speaking of love for our country, what does the careless nature by which you toss your refuse on the ground--our beautiful country renowned for it's natural wonders--say about your patriotism? I'd say if that is any indication of your level of patriotism you surely cannot speak for the entirety of our generation.
Your one dimensional view on what patriotism is would be funny were it not for the sad fact that you feel you can speak for a whole generation, as diverse as the country is wide.
But the problem is 95% of the population is in the "built-up" areas!
And the USA can have these unbuilt areas too.
Its not exclusively Canadian
Thankyou, I can't do it anymore. I need help, he's driving me crazier and crazier, please tell me he's not real please help---------
Yes. I know wtf the thread is about. My comment was about regionalism vs patriotism.
You said you were a student, right? What is your major?
Duh!! West, I'd suggest you quit glue-sniffin or whatever it is that's doing in your miniscule number of brain cells.
I'm thinking he's not real. No one can be that daft. I would blame the Catholic school system, but look at me, I''m a freakin genius.
Did you know there are towns every 20 minutes in south western Manitoba? Man, things sure have changed from when I lived there.
:lol:
Some of the people here have crossed over the line of opinion into insult.
Westmanguy I am sorry you are being insulted and crude epithets are being thrown at you.
I can't say any more - actually I can't even call the moderators - they are here - contributing.

I'm not feeding the westmantroll any more. I'm going to sum up my feelings:
1) patriotism is fine and dandy
2) it's better if it's INFORMED patriotism, ie the person learns what their country is all about BEFORE they decide to be proud of it
3) There seems to be some doubt as to whether the OP was correct in assuming that canadians have less patriotism than the yanks anyway.
goodbye

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...."
If this is the case then their should now laws telling the 10 commandments to be kicked out of courts.
Making no laws pertaining to religion or prohibition of religion.
Nowhere does it say, Biblical texts, or Christian values got to be taken out of gov.
Christianity is the truth, and the US realizes that... if it was the way you say it is: How come Bush always says God Bless America, and makes multiple references to prayer and God.

I speak my mind, but I don`t specifically insult and individual.

Comprehension problems is West's problem, I think. It just doesn't understand. Might as well, be speakin Chinese to it, folks. I'm following Hermie. Let West sit in its little corner and babble to itself.
Freedom of religious expression does not equate 'no separation of church and state', which is what you said is not outlined in the constitution (American) or did I read that wrong.. However, the states were free to establish a state religion without out interference from the feds. If memory serves me correctly.
Its says gov. to make no laws or leg. pertaining to religion.
If thats so, then 10 Commandments should not have been taken out of courts.
