vmsfreaky1 0 #26 March 7, 2003 No. Rick is funny. I'm not Canadian however i know what the CBC is I know what the 22 minutes is referring to and I know you dumb fuk americans can't take the piss out of yourselves for one minute. I'd also like to apologise for lashing out at right wing dum fuk americans in this ( im sure there are many others) forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #28 March 7, 2003 Quote I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. 1812? Kinda like the Italians standing around discussing how they sacked Carthage because of the speed of their oars. "We sure showed them what-for in that battle 2000 years ago..." Of course, the Italian army is respected and feared the world over today. Especially after they almost beat those Ethiopians... darned spears hurt, huh? There is a new early warning system for Canadian invasions... people on cell phones calling to complain about how slow they are driving... "We've got an entire brigade moving in on our position... they're 300 miles away... oh no, Tuesday probably..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vmsfreaky1 0 #30 March 7, 2003 How bout a picture too? Look, I browse through here every day and I happen to see lots of really inane posts much like yours, defensive, ignorant and frankly quite sad. You've taken this guys post personally and then ridiculed (rather hopelessly I might add) Canada in not a very clever manner. Canada may be outgunned, but i think they have folks like you outclassed. And Gee you dont really hear about them burning down your White House too often in this U.S media drenced world we live in, do we? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyhi 24 #32 March 7, 2003 QuoteExactly. Jokes about the US are not funny; they are funny about any other country. Insulting other countries' leaders or military is fine and proper, but insulting the US military is nearly a capital offense here. After all, there's really only one country anyone has to consider, and that's the US. Bill, you totally missed it. I see this as nothing more than banter between two groups. It's not even close to insulting shots across the bow. No flames erupted and no irate comments were posted. Next time maybe you shouldn't be so quick to admit how screwed up your countrymen are. Sometimes, just sometimes, we really aren't. BTW, I agree that every mass produced beer in this country is like sex in a canoe, but I would be more than willing to stack Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale against any beer in the world. We are learning from the world (including Canada) and I whole heartedly thank each and every one of you for those lessons.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Schroeder 0 #33 March 7, 2003 You guys are amazing. Turn that around if you want, and compliment yourselves, and say, "huh, we really ARE amazing! Holy Sh!t We're Great!...." But I think you know what I'm really trying to say here. I am intelligent enough to not say "You Americans are amazing." Because that would be a gross generalization. Which are bad. I mean, why would I use sarcasm like that against a whole nation, when really, only a portion are deserving? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #34 March 7, 2003 Personally, I thought the original was pretty funny, especially the "we've got better trees" comment. "You Americans may be world leaders in everything else, but we've got better trees". Quote ... i think they have folks like you outclassed. You may be right there. I attached a picture of the new fashion for the style-conscious Canadian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,116 #37 March 7, 2003 >Bill, you totally missed it . . . "Rick Mercer is an idiot" "I wonder how long it would take before another country destroyed Canada" "Rick Mercer will be the first pussy . . ." All those seem like comments from peole who are not taking it as playful banter. Since then it's gone back to jokes, which is great. >Next time maybe you shouldn't be so quick to admit how screwed up >your countrymen are. Sometimes, just sometimes, we really aren't. In fact, I would put it to you that _most_ americans aren't that screwed up - but some are. Same is true in most other countries. We're not all that unique. >but I would be more than willing to stack Sierra Nevada Celebration >Ale against any beer in the world. As well as Ballast Point Yellowtail, Lang Trimotor, and McMenamin's Ruby. I can get really good beer around here, but I think that's true in most places if you look.

MC208B 0 #40 March 7, 2003 are you apologetic for being an American? Or are you an import (before you jump on the we're all imigrants except the Indians, oopppssss...Native Americans bandwagon) recent import? Near as I can tell, our neighbors to the north are by and large a mass of sheeple looking to the government to take care of them and paying through the nose (taxes) to have that happen. Of course, the Canadians that go to Lost Prarie are okay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevets 0 #44 March 7, 2003 I'm Canadian, and I got this e-mail a few days ago and was disgusted. I do realize that it is a joke, but it's timing is less than perfect. I agree with some of the other comments made in this thread. Wait until we get attacked by terrorists one day, then all of a sudden the states will be our best friend. The USA will help us because they always do come to help a nation in need, even though they face ridicule from everyone else after the fact. But wait, we won't get attacked by terrorists because it is in Canada that they set up shop!!! Get a grip and don't post such stupid things in a public forum. If YOU think its funny forward it to some of your other narrow-minded friends. STEVE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second generation, actually. >Near as I can tell, our neighbors to the north are by and large a > mass of sheeple looking to the government to take care of them > and paying through the nose (taxes) to have that happen. I think they're people just like us, and want pretty much the same things we do. Both countries pay taxes, both are somewhat socialist (we pay the government to maintain the roads, the airways, social security etc.) although canada is more socialist than we are. Both places have good beer if you look for it. There are fools and geniuses in both places, and extremists in both places. We are more alike than we are different. Nationalistic pissing contests are kinda silly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #47 March 7, 2003 QuoteWe are more alike than we are different. As someone who grew up in the Great White North, but has lived in CO for the last five years, let me say that I haven't really noticed that much different between living in these two great countries (except of course for the colder winters in Canada). We are like cousins and we share the same historical roots. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
