Yes, I apologize about some of my posts here, particularly regarding fat Canucks. I've no beef. It's just that after six years of experience here, I've found my biggest pain to be some Canadians who are 'joy happy.'
They've found release, some instigating reason. Like Canadians can really withstand the political mayhem inherent in the Cree Indians you're soaking in shame, but must lash out at Americans for standing in some uncertain land, uncertain future, uncertain political clime.
Then you lash out, as if 'it's our fault', making some Americans, like me, all the more forlorn. Like I shouldn't speak up, strike back, make a point?
It then seems, they sink into politics and put America, ie., Bush, down, never realizing we're neighbors. No one from America puts Canadians down. You visit our beaches, some straining for indifference. Othes ask for love while their crippled husband is at home waning. Most skirt by, without a reply, they being perhaps someone who's never to understand Why? But they love the nature and what we've saved from these lies.
These lies, I say. Think about it. It's Korea bringing this out of you all, since I certainly don't know of any Canadian forum back home whereby you'd speak as such against a land, like your own, susceptible, politically vulnerable, volaltile, voiceless?
You just leave this long haired hippy alone. |

Haha, yeah right, have you not read this board?
Regarding Canadians complaining about America, have you ever heard Canadians talk about Canada? We are usually the largest criticizers of Canada as well. Other than that, I think you need to relax and not let it get to you. |

| Maybe Americans don't realise they're insulting Canada. All that "51st state" crap and "United States of Canada/Jesusland" garbage shows that Americans don't think of Canada as much of a country. I consider Americans to be equal to me, but there are a lot of Americans who don't consider Canadians to be real people. Just look at that Canadian who was just deported to Sudan or some place to be tortured recently. |

Sometimes for better, and admittedly sometimes for worse (recently), when you brazenly play center stage (on many levels), you stand out and you KNOW you stand out.
Americans generally know the world is very aware of what happens in their country. Do you live in Korea? Look at the media. It's the same in many other countries of the world.
Canada simply doesn't garner the same attention on the world stage. Right now, I am envious of Canada. We Americans currently have crap as leadership. But there is a sense we will work through this.
Point is, Americans just feel like Canada is a great neighbor, but the action and drama is taking place down south. |

Gee, thanks a lot! I clicked on your link, and now I have that Journey song stuck in my head. You might as well remind me later on to have "Juke Box Hero" by Foreigner stuck in my head. |

I think Canadians and Americans get along fine. The problem is Canadians are much more politically involved since everything in Canada is associated with the goddam government almost! When talking about politics Canadians will stand firm for what they believe in. I think Canadians are so harsh on American foreign policy and beliefs because Canada has little or no voice at all on the world stage. Where as Americans do. The best thing to do is avoid the subject if possible. Never ever talk politics with a Quebecer especially sovereignty and that includes Canadians outside of the Q.
If things start getting heated just start asking about hockey.
here are some topics;
What do you think of the new rules?
Do you think there should be no touch icing in the future?
Instigator rule! Whats with that?
Why does everyone hate the leafs?
Were you happy when fox took away the blue highlighted puck? |

| Both countries suck. How difficult is it to figure that out? You're like Jeffrey Dhamer's father getting upset at Paul Bernardo's father for saying that your family produced a jerk. |
