Aiee!  Did I touch a nerve or three?  Let me clear some of the murkiness 
contained in that them thar head of yours.

Your first sentence clearly shows that you have no bloody clue as to who you 
are talking to.  First off, there is no 'guys'.  That was the second time I've 
ever followed up Masatakas post.  Too much ASS-U-Mption on your part.  
Secondly, if you think I'm that insecure that I need to appease 
regular Usenetizens, check Dejanews.  I spread my sarcasm quite generously to 
anyone I disagree with.

Your second sentence can't be directed at me, for I've never charged him of 
being a slacker for taking advantage of government subsidies.  As for the last 
part of the first paragraph, that was a logical leap I took based on his 
postings to Usenet.

Yes.  I think he is a spoiled brat.

As for my edge-uh-mu-casion, I never paid a thing.  See, the thing is, they 
don't charge no one to go to grade school.  I was one of the smart ones and got 
out in grade six and joined the travelling circus.  Yes, I've seen it all.

ANYWAY... if you are fishing for sympathy on foreign students, I'd suggest you 
keep looking.

As for the benefits of being Canadian, you'd better believe I know of them.  
Otherwise why the hell would anyone be here when they can make twice their 
salary in many other countries?  As long as Canada serves me well, I'll pay 
her taxes.

Complacency.  Heh.

Oooo, now we delve into your illusions of grandeur in your third paragraph.  
Add some, "...average intelligence of the population...", sprinkle in some, 
"...propose that provincial governments test students at graduation..." and 
one can immediately sense we have a ... person who is quite sure they are 
above it all.  No?  Come down from that perch, and show all the unwashed 
masses the way oh wise one!

Finally, your last sentence does you in for possibly the worst insult thrown 
my way.  Come on, man.  Can't you come up with anything better?

Oh well.  Married with Children is on, better go get sum ov dat 
edgeuhmuhcasion.
