It's not the end of the world. If you want to whine about the state the world is in, then try reading a book on the middle ages.

Darth_Revan, you must realize that your Dad is not all conservatives. There are nice and mean, smart and stupid people on both sides.

In my experiences in the South, conservatives are always welcoming and loving--until they find out you believe anything they don't, or disbelieve something they believe in. Then you're drawn and quartered.

But until you Canadians have a U.S. citizenship and have a right to vote for a president of US then STFU. What good does it do to complain about our president if you have no choice in it? Honestly go somewhere else and complain with Micheal Moore who plans to live with you all now. It's not your country. Yours is much better run then ours is but if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it.


Scuse me, but I believe America sticks its nose in pretty much everyone elses business... Proof? How about a year ago when Canada wanted to introduce the Decriminalization of Marijuana Bill. What happened? Well, AMERICA put its nose in where it didnt belong and decided to threaten to tighten up border control unless we decided to not pass the bill. Yeah, so don';t tell me that America is all perfect and doesn't do the same. Or how about not listening to 98% of the UN when they said not to invade Iraq... Well, that didnt happen did it?

What about the constant stereotypes of Canadians mostly created and said by Americans... We live in igloos, we're all drunken idiots, we're for the most part lumberjacks, we play nothing but hockey, we have no army...All those things..

America can ***** at the rest of the world for pretty much anything, but they definately can't take being *****ed to for anything as well.

Like I said, America = Arrogant.

It's more along the lines of 66%.

66% is still a hell of a lot more than half.

A. Make me shut up.
B. No.
C. I don't care if it's one administration, I'mnot talking about one administration. I'mnot even talking about the dumb Bush Monkey anyways, I'm talking in response to the post about Canadians sticking their noses in another country';s business, yet it's very hyopcritical of an American to be saying that...Above all else.
D. Like I said, make me shut up.

How am I acting like a 5 year old? YOU are the one who got all upset at what I said and told me to shut the hell up, twice, in your post.. All I did was defend myself by telling you to come and make me shut up, if you think you're a big man and willing to tell someone crap like that over an internet discussion. That's not acting like a 5 year old. You instigated it.
2004-11-16, 2:23 PM #90
"You instigated it" is just a different way of saying "OMG MOMMY HE STARTED IT".

How are you acting like a five year old?

1) You insult me. I'm an American. And your amazed I tell you to shut up? This wasn't an all in good fun insult either. Not like saying "Oh he's canadian, he must drink beer" or some stupid worthless thing like that.

2) "Make me shut up" I believe that one speaks for itself

3) Making up statistics doesn't make you seem very mature.

2004-11-16, 2:28 PM #91
No, you instigated it is pointing out the fact that you arethe one who got upset at what I said and began to insult me over it.

I'm sorry, but Americans ARE aarogant, and already do have that general image of themselves everywher in the world. Americans arent well liked, and whether or not you want to continue living in your bubble or come out of it and accept that fact, is up to ytou.

How about the times the millions of Americans insult Canadians, how many times have you seen a Canadian get all angry and start flipping out..

Make me shut up, does not mean I'm acting like a 5 year old, and even if you think it does, I stand by it. If you want to tell me to shut up, the only way I'mgoing to shut up is if you come and make me, and I can guarantee that if you even attempted to do so in real life, youd fail.

America is a democracy. In a democracy, the government is never alone to blame. Bush can't do whatever he wants because he knows he needs to have strong popular support. That means, wether you like it nor not, that the american population is also responsible for anything they cause. When people invest in america, trade with america, do buisness deals with america, crash planes into america, they don't take time to see if the people they're dealing with voted for Bush or Gore in 2k. Obviousely alot of americans disagree with what's going on, but they have no choice but to deal with the consequences of other people's choices. It's just how the system works.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Tempermental I understand your frustration from with him... personally I agree he's extremly arogant and I don't like him but you might want to take the punch out thing... call it... past experience.
2004-11-16, 2:34 PM #95
Well, I appreciate the warning :) But I still stand by it because it's not a direct threat to him, all I'm saying is that if he thinks he can talk to me like crap, and tell me to shut up, he's more than invited to try and attempt it. But I guarantee he'd fail. That's all I meant by it. One-Punch just means it'd only take one hit and he'd be out. Not, OMG IM GONNA KICK UR ****ING ***!!!

My objection to the choice the Americans made for president is based almost entirely upon the following: The people who have the most to be concerned with in regards to both homosexuality as well as terrorism did not believe Bush could best protect them.

The people who elected Bush were, for the most part, people who live in the midlands of the United States with absolutely no viable military, economic, political or symbolic targets and an extremely low rate of homosexuality. Meanwhile California and New York voted Democratic in a near landslide. This should tell you people something: The people who are actually affected by Bush's decisions don't trust him. Maybe you should be listening to them more.


Omg...LOGIC.. SO ..FLAWED.

I would still prefer anarchy over politics in general. Mostly so people would shut up and stop their *****ing. Seriously, most people have taken this to a whole new level of whining and complaining.
obviously you've never been able to harness the power of cleavage...

All I was attempting to show was that the a majority of the midlands voted for Bush as stated by Jon'C.
2004-11-16, 3:43 PM #106
That's true, but it makes no connection to the rest of what he said. It also doesn't shoe how clsoe the races were in many or those states.

Seems like a reach to me to say that only those spartan blue areas are affected by homosexuality or terrorism concerns though.

Shut up Mech, I'm serious. You've already pissed me off enough today. I'm not arrogant, despite your thoughts on me, but I do have a strong backing to my ideas, and I do hate you, so I guess I come off as arrogant to you (and probably others), but hell if I could care.

Temp--if you didn't insult me by saying "Americans (implying all) are arrogant etc etc" then I wouldn't have cared. If you had said "Some Americans" or hell, even "Most Americans", I would have been completely fine by what you said, because I agree. But by implying that all Americans are arrogant and ignorant, you pissed me off.

No, I don't think the world likes me, or any other American, and never have. Not since I was ~8.

And Flex, I agree he may have the popular support (unfortunately), but that doesn't mean I agree with what he's doing, therefore I do not fall under Temp's vast generalizations. Telling him to shut the hell up probably didn't help my case much, but I don't care--I don't like being stereotyped (unless you call me a geek or nerd ;))

What a horribly irrelevant example. If you hated acorns in your yard, and your neighbor was about to plant a bunch of oak trees, wouldn't you be concerned about acorns being brought into your yard?

Reading this thread is possibly the most entertainment i've had in quite some time. Its like watching Rick Mercer's "Talking To Americans", and then watching the American public react all over again.

Personally, I don't agree with the American government (which has started to make me more than a little paranoid with its constant invasions of foreign countries... not that we're probably in an immediate danger on your north border... as long as we don't piss you off TOO much).

I also don't agree with the Canadian government (anyone with that much trouble with money shouldn't be in charge of an piggy-bank, let alone an entire country)

Finally, i'd like to point out that a government does not make a people, even if those people elected that government (parts of Gernamny during the early 1940s should be ample proof of that).

So as a Canadian, relaxing on my chesterfield, I can firmly say "Pass the beer my fellow people of North America (or South America... or anywhere else on the planet), and try not to start another fight just yet, eh?

oh please, its not like your government doesnt whine when some country elects someone who isnt going to serve american interests in that part of the world. everyone does it. atleast canadians dont have a reputation of single handedly rigging elections over seas to put up a puppet. its been done for ages now really, so im not specifically talking bout iraq. true canadians couldnt actually come and put a puppet government in the US, but point is, having an opinon is not as bad as having an opinion and acting on it
