>> >> Canadian culture is alive and dynamic, and sophisticated far >> >>beyond than what your pitiful American intellect is capable of >> >>comprehending. >> >> >Yeah? How? Hockey riots when you losers lose? Bob and Doug MacKenzie? >> >Drinking alot of Molson and hitting each other? Name three provinces you stupid american. I could name plenty of states, but half of the americans I ever see on vacation think Canada is either a state or somewhere in Eupope. >> You really believe this stereotyped image? The MacKenzie brothers were >> _satire_ you idiot. Which illustrates an important point. Canadians can >> laugh at themselves. Not just what they do, but who they are and what this >> country really stands for. We can look at what we are honestly. And >> sometimes we have to laugh. In the states you cannot look at yourself >> honestly. Those who do and find something they do not like are considered >> "un-American". >Well, there's really nothing to laugh at, because we're perfect. If we >weren't perfect, someone would take our place. Hasn't happened in 50 >years, now. If you were perfect then I think some people might like you. >> >Give me a break. Canada produces nothing. Not music, not film, not art, >> >not science. Zip. >> That shows you have never even bothered to look. There is more Canadian >> music, film, art and science around you than you know. >This reminds me of a joke: "How can you say Canada sucks? Haven't you >heard of the Tragically Hip?" Oh I get it! That's funny, right!!! Who the fuck are the Tragically Hip? >Get a life! All Canadian music is is homogenized whining. The Hip, >Spirit of the West, 54-40', Our Lady Peace. Celine Dion? Come on. I won't even go INTO yank """""""music""""""". How about your lame-ass rap? Yo! WZUP! Nigga nigga bitch bitch fuck fuck dick dick! Have you ever realized how offensive that shit is? >Film: What film? Where? The best Canadian films are produced in Quebec, >anyway. Art? Which artist is Canadian? Science? The Canada Arm on the >American space shuttle? What film? Ever heard of the X-Files? Oh wait! I forgot! That's filmed in Washington DC! There's a lot of good movies filmed and produces in Canada. Do you ever watch interviews with producers? They like filming in Canada because it's cheaper, the people aren't brainless dicks and they don't take shit from a million people thinking they're allowed to sue them! >> >>American culture is fast food, conservative politics, and t.v. >> >>shows like "A Current Affair" and "Oprah Winfrey". Bravo! >> >It's also Jazz, Blues, great film, great theater, great writers....the >> >list is endless. Great film.. Imported from Canada, Do you yanks ever watch the credits? Actually FIND OUT where they are made? >That's funny. I can't think of a single great Canadian writer. Hmm. That's cause you're a yank. Or an idiot. You don't even know ANYTHING about Canada. >> >>Hey, when you >> >>vacantly stare at Rush Limbaugh on tv in that characteristically >> >>American way, does your jaw hang open, and drool run down your cheek? >> >>Just wondering. I bet they do. >> >No, but the drool does run down the cheek of Jean Chretien. Should I be offended by that? OWTCH! You insulted a politician! Why don't you take a look at YOUR politicians! Clinton - he lets his wife run the country, and fucks it up pretty much too. Newt Ginbitch - do I even need to comment? >> Going for the old Kim Cambell tactic, eh? >> >By the way, has he lost the country yet? >> As popular as ever. Whereas people continue to shoot at the White House >> to kill your leader. >And in Canada, you think SO highly of your leader that the only protection >you give him is his wife, Aline. At least we make assassination >difficult. Did anybody try to assasinate a Canadian Prime Minister? That was a burglar, you stupid git. That just goes to show the intelligence that you pour into thinking. >> >> Not exactly. Canadians carry maple leaves when travelling >> >>because they don't want to be mistaken for Americans. U.S. foreign >> >>policy doesn't exactly endear people in, say, Central or South America to >> >>Americans. >Yet they still worship our culture. Hmm. Do they even know what Canada is? Who worships you? I went to Europe last summer, and I never saw a SINGLE person who smiled at a yank. You know who a yank is too - the one who has a big yank flag on his jacket, and is bellowing in his weird form of speech into his camcorder. >> >Yes, and you know what? If you idiot canucks would actually learn french >> >(one of your official languages) or German, you would hear what they say >> >about you. They laugh at you. As one of my friends from Paris said "Joe, >> >why do these people wear that stupid leaf?" Wel if he's your friend, then I don't wonder why he shares your delirious, pitiful ego. Who's 'they'? The ones who worship you? They hate you even more! When my friends went to Greece, they were treated like garbage until they said they were from Canada! >> A lot more Canadians know French and German than yanks. Most Canadians >> speak at least two languages. You yanks think you can get by with that >> language you call "English". >It's not our fault if some damned woggie or spic can't speak the bloody >language. They just become irrelevant in the larger picture. Oh, I see. So if YOUR minorities or whatever they should be called do something bad for your country, you think they're unimportant, but if WE have some minorities, they get blown out of proportion. Typical american perspective. >> >"They don't want to be mistaken for Americans." >> >> >"But that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! I mean, Americans have >> >power. Canadians are just Americans with even less culture and nothing." That is singlehandedly the most AMERICAN thing I have ever heard. You're like the british. One day somebody's gonna BLOW THE SHIT out of your country, or maybe you'll just be surpassed by another one, but you'll still think that you're all mighty. >> More compassion towards other nations, a more civil society, a more >Blow up the fishermen! Kill the Froggies! Nuke the yanks! >> consistent foreign policy, real commitment to world peace and the environment, >Invite the fishermen to our waters and then blow them up! Spill cyanide >in Guyanan rivers! What the fuck was that supposed to mean? >> and a much better attitude towards the countries we travel in. >"Hmm...You funny-talking guys have good beer, eh?" HUH! OH! YEAH! Y'ALL LISTENIN'! >> >>Dale. (A proud Canadian) Stefan (Yet another one) >> >Nothing more pathetic... ...than a yank who thinks like this imbred foghorn. >> Oh sure, it is okay for all those inbred yanks to be pretend to be >> patriotic (while in reality they are just brainwashed), but God forbid there >> should be a patriotic Canadian. Canadian patriotism is at least more sincere, >> we actually know what we are patriotic about, whereas you yanks are just >> patriotic to whatever the government tells you. Score another point for the canadian... >I thought Canada was supposed to be a bilingual, bicultural country. >You're supposed to be proud of this fact. In actuality, you regard >Quebeckers as either "foreign" or "insurgent". Let those goddamned >lamb-fuckers go, you say. At least in the States we are patriotic enough >to keep our country intact. Do you have any states that have a TOTALLY different culture? I don't think so, just about half of them talk like hicks and marry their cousins. >*** AND WE KICKED YOUR ASS IN 1776 *** I bet you'd have liked to rub it too! >*** AND WE KICKED YOUR ASS IN 1812 *** Forgive and forget, asshole. We aren't all pissy about that, it's in the past. But I bet you think it's something that should go down in history.
