“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
-- Ulysses S. Grant
Might as well face it, we're a nation of assholes and no one would even talk to us if we didn't have money and lots of guns.
So when the money starts to dry up... people start telling us to fuck off. It's that simple.
you are too fucking stupid to realize your comment goes more towards Canadians being disingenous rather than some fucked up personal indictment of yours of USA
I've always been friendly with the US and have had pro-American ideals on a wide range of issues. But I also temper that feeling of goodwill with the memory of guys like that one bonehead at a Wyoming gas station (a northern state no less!) who looked at my Canadian twenty all dubious-like (back in the 80's) and said quite seriously "How do I know this is even real money?"
lol
Or the other dufuss at a Florida gas station who kept repeating "We don't take Canadian (money)" after seeing "Bank of Canada" typed across the top of my AMERICAN traveller's cheque with fucking USD printed beside the amount.
Trust me, my American friends, when you're up here travelling I can assure you with 100% certainty that your american money is good anywhere you go. Which means obviously that our dumbass rednecks are smarter than yours, at least where international currency is concerned. :D

I'm a shooter and I do business in private and I only take CASH.
PS I'm impossible to troll.
So I'm on day 3 of having the worst flu ever. I don't remember posting this shit yesterday at all. I'm changing my password. I was just talking to a Canadian colleague yesterday on Skype and as some of you know I lived overseas for 5 years without coming back to the states.
I have many Canadian affiliates, friends, etc. I'm the last person to pigeon hole people based on what country they're in. I've said so many times in posts over the years that I don't judge based on location or nationality but whatever. I was like WTF when I saw this post in my email. Ignore it.
When did the Canadians stop being Americas friends and start being the nasty crooks?
Just curious. I have an idea. Your thoughts?
Can people not read?
OP: when did the Canadians stop being America's friends?

Perhaps I'm missing the sarcasm if there is any.. But I didn't feel this was directed at the usa. Yet enter the anti-american guff no matter.
Is America perfect? Fuck no. There are a lot of terrible things going on. But I fervently believe that we still have a lot of truly awesome qualities and capabilities.
Americans themselves for the most part can still be really kind people. Of coarse there is a lot of dumb fucks who act like drones but if you want to blame someone, blame american media.
One of the greatest inventions of all time (the TV) has been relegated to one of the most poisonous things about this country,
people aren't cunts because they are or aren't from america, or because they are or aren't from canada, or they are or aren't from insert_country_here
people are cunts or not, idiots or not, thieves or not, arrogant or not, and so on and so on. baffles me how people think 'their' country is good and 'the other person's country' is not so good, purely because they were born somewhere. wtf lol, it's like sports fans saying how their supported team is great and the others don't come close, except with sports at least you normally have a choice who to support and who not to. brainwashing at it's absolute finest, so credit for that at least to govt's around the world.

Speaking of which - I'm always amazed that so many people (especially Americans) have no clue who Philo T. Farnsworth is - and his pivotal role in basically inventing TV. It's as if his name was relegated to the dustbin of obscure inventors. Most everyone knows of Marconi, Edison, Bell, etc. But for a guy who made such a major change in the world...a vast majority of people have never heard of Farnsworth.
As a kid I remember reading a story about him and his role in TV pioneering in Reader's Digest.
