Four generations separated and dilluted by Irish, Prussian, and Cherokee, but it still describes me to a tee. Especially the not-liking-you-part. No offense.  We're still irked by that whole King George thing. Same is true for the Scots, but I do believe that it was a different king then 
Funny you should say that Canadians are better educated. Back during the 2004 U.S. election, I knew a Canadian exchange student who loathed the fact that I was voting red. Her particular complaint with the administration was that it did not have government health care like Canada. She then gave me a sob story about how her cousin died because he couldn't get treatment. "Where did he live?" I asked. "Canada. But he couldn't get treatment there, and he couldn't afford treatment in America, and so he died." I didn't pursue the subject any further.
Yeah, that's purely anecdotal, but such is the nature of stereotypes  |
