for some reason this reminds me of that John Candy movie where someone yells "Canadian beers sucks" at a hockey game and it starts a war between the countries
This is exactly why you don't let content play with the keyboard. Baseball was invented in NEW YORK in 1845 by Alexander Cartwright. It was based on a game called Rounders invented by the British.
And this is why you don't let Americans play with... Anything? So one dude sees a whole whack of Englishmen playing a game.. He goes home, invents his own rules, makes a field, and VOILA he's the MASTERMIND behind the game?! C'mon. Really?
A special Commission of 1907 concluded that baseball had been "invented" by the Civil War hero Abner Doubleday (1819-1893), in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839. But it was actually Alexander Joy Cartwright (1820-1892) of New York who established the modern baseball field (1845). In Cartwright's rules of play, however, plugging was allowed; a ball fielded on one bounce was an out; pitching was underhand; and the game was won by the first team to score 21 "aces" (runs), in however many innings
<----- Sounds a lot like the game of Baseball we play today? lol.. hold on, 2 lol's are necessary for this one.. One to laugh at you, and one to laugh at your absolute sureness.

Big surprise, Cooperstown doesn't recognize this obviously LEGITIMATE letter. Why? Because the USA is the centre of the universe, and anybody who claims different is ignored, of course! Be proud of your ignorance.

Although Ford's original letter is in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, officials there have never formally recognized the validity of his claim for Beachville.
Research of county records and tombstones in the area indicate most of the players would have been boys and men 15 to 24 at the time of the game, again making his recollections believable, say the researchers.
It's Ford's letter, which also includes a diagram of a five-sided playing field, that sets down for the first time the specifics of a game. There were distinguishing features to Ford's game: there was territory to show where fair and foul balls were, or "fair hit" and "no hit" as he called them. And the number of men on each side had to be equal before a game could be played, usually between seven and 12 players per team.

Sounds a lot more like baseball to me?
I can't believe you started your post off good too, like you like Canadians.. You called us FOREIGNERS! Dude.. How was your country founded? On immigration? How many years ago? C'mon. Nobody owns anything in this world brother, we just use it while we're here, then we die. That includes the land you stand on now.
And as for Canadians coming to the USA.. Why are you guys complaining?! We have 1/10th your population. You have 10x our population. Whose gonna get more of who?
Why do Canadians, in defense of their country, always provide a list of inventions and actors? And then claim they were responsible for the burning of Washington? I would give credit to the BRITISH. Without intervention the Canadians would have eventually been defeated. The burning of Washington was in retaliation for the American army destroying the Canadian capitol.
As for it being the BRITISH that kicked your butts....
No buddy, I don't care how you want to slice it.. Canadians burned your white house down and defeated you.
Let's look at this logically.
American revoutionary war.... American slapped the British silly and sent them packing
America came to invade Canada and the people north of the 49th parallel slapped America silly and sent them packing home.
Now when the good old USA was kicking the shit out of England, the French were helping.
Since the French settled Canada first....
How about I give you a choice?
It was either Canadians kicking your asses or the French. Which would you have prefered it was?
Pft whoever you decide it was to make yourselves feel better, you godlike armoured deities you, the people here were killing your people, because they weren't on your side. In fact if I remember right, they followed you back home because they were so mad about occupation here (imagine? That wouldn't happen today would it? COUGH COUGH).
The point is, the people here fought for HERE, and joined together for the cause. We fought with our natives, you tricked them and poisioned their entire populations (BIOLOGICAL WARFARE AGAINST FAMILIES?!)
COUGH COUGH
HIROSHIMA?!
COUGH COUGH
You guys are so proud for the wrong reasons. I have no idea why Japanese people even do business with the USA after that. I even heard Lucky Strike cigarettes are called that for the bomb that hit Hiroshima, from a Japanese person who lives in Nagoya.
The funny part is, I love Americans! I don't like your government, or your policies, or your policing, or your foreign relations ideas, or your warring, or your international bullying, or your general ignorance, or your media constantly making you believe whatever they want to.
Every time I see CNN Headline news lately, it's all about the Mexican border. That's the topic of the quarter. So what are Americans all up in arms about at the moment, even on here? Mexicans! Like that's your real problem. CMON WAKE UP PEOPLE! Wait.. The next thing CNN takes a hold of, even on GFY, there will be a proliferation of people believing that shit.

"The basis of this claim lies with a lengthy letter published May 5, 1886 in the Philadelphia-based Sporting Life magazine. The letter, entitled "A Game of Long-ago Which Closely Resembled Our Present National Game," was written by Dr. Adam Ford of Denver, Colorado, who had grown up in Beachville."
Some dude from Canada writes a letter that gets published in a Philadelphia magazine claiming that baseball was first played in Canada and all of a sudden it's historically accurate? His letter could be pure fiction (there were no witnesses to the fact, just his say so) or it could be right, so there is no point in arguing it (canadians think canada, americans don't).

I called you foreigners because you are NOT american citizens. Personally I dont really differentiate between americans and canadians. However, when it comes to a canadian butting in to "our" politics and insulting "our" president, I do have a problem with that. Because he is OUR president (Americans not Canadians). And even then (as I said) I am not hating on all canadians, just that one.
I am the fourth Horseman.
If someone offers you an amazing hosting deal, call WEBAIR before you choose. You won't be sorry.
And Americans don't have an opinion on Fidel Castro, or Kim Jong-Il, or Saddam Hussein, or Ali Khamenei? :D If you asked around the world who the most hated, untrustworthy, agressive, and self-serving administrations were, you can easily add your man GWB to that list.
If your president sat at home and behaved, people wouldn't talk so much. You're defensive because you're compelled to defend his actions, whatever they may be.

Wake up!! CNN doesn't count for shit. Rush Limbaugh has a bigger audience. For that matter Gilligan's Island reruns prolly has a bigger audience.

My 2 cents worth!
1. Then by that theory so is Arizona, NM, Cali. And Canada is a suburb of the US.
2. What invention are you talking about, dumb whore?
3. Yeah, you could still burn the White House, we all fear Canada's mighty military! [/sarcasm]
4. Which are you? Canadian or American? or is it Puerto Rican? Make up your mind.
5. Your 2 cents isn't worth shit.

Actually, the people that live in the USA are not Americans because they live in the USA.. They just called themselves Americans because it didn't sound as stupid as United Statians did lol.
We all live on a continent called North America which makes us all Americans.

Yes, I know. It was a lot easier to use the term "Americans" for reference of citizens of the USA; as it is a widely accepted and understood reference. Technically, Central and South Americans are also Americans.

I am American because I live in the USA. You cannot call yourself American, maybe Far North American if you so wish.
Damn, someone got out of the wrong side of bed.
I personally like all the canadians that I know and find it strange that anyone could catagorize everyone like that. Each to there own I guess.
On a lighter note, whats the weather like up there in Canada? hehehe
In reality, Canada wasn't even Canada at the time... so to speak. So yeah, it was the British all the way on that one.
However, Canada (as it was) did hold off the mighty US from just walking in and taking over for quite some time. Something that I'm sure was quite a shock to the US at the time.
It's not nearly as wonderful as many Canadians make it seem, but had the roles been reversed, I'm sure that Americans would be proud and boast about it as well.
Yes, I'm just saying that by referring to them as Canadian then maybe you could also almost say that the White House was British as well.
