I'm going to try and not respond to this in a nasty way, but
both of you, I find are REALLY offensive. This is pure generalization on
both of your parts. Sure, those people exist, the same sort of "love it or
leave it" people exist in Canada. I just won't sit and listen to people bash
America for stereotypes. You're both propogating all the negative
views on yourselves....


Really, I'm a dual citizen, and I've lived in both, Peter, Troy, have you? 
Before you label, experience.

Now back to the networks assignment...
