50 confused Canadians

All I have to say is bite me. Most Americans have nothing to do with our Foreign policy so even if we all knew what that Day was
it would not change a thing. So put that No wonder we suck and
go to war up your ass and smoke it.....

Good, name calling now... I can see this will continue to be a good discussion. http://www.sponsorslist.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif

:1orglaugh

with the exchage rate it's 39 confused Canadians

you :1orglaugh but you know I am right :)

You're joking, right?

If I would turn on the news right now it would be about the Euro2004 :winkwink: The only all news thing we have here is CNN and they are probably talking about Iraq.

The latest big news we had that would be of interest of you has been about the JFS, we are buying them from you and there have been major discossions about that.

I agree that there is not a lot of dutch news you should know about, but there are things happening in other countries every day. Do you get on the news if lets say ETA blows something up?

right.. and your "good discussion" makes a lot of sense... "you guys are dumb and have no clue whats going on in the world which explains a lot about the current events happening today"

*yawn*

Wow... so much hostility towards Canada in this thread. A lot of ignorance a lot of "who cares we could bomb you" attitudes.

Sad really.

Please don't use quotation marks unless you plan on quoting what I've said. Putting words in my mouth only makes you look childish.

I never said any of that and you know it.

Never mind btw, I am getting off subject with all this. I just love a good discussion. Although I am not an US expert :winkwink:

i agree

as most non-Canadians might have noticed, i was summarizing the context of your remarks.

Shut up or I'll invade you with my weapons of ass destruction.

If I keep talking do you promise to?

You do know the purpose of quotation marks right? It's not for a summary.

Anyway, this hardly has anything to do with whether or not you know what Canada Day is.

ETA? European Tennis Association would do that?

JFS? open source?

:1orglaugh thanks for taking my serious mood away. I can't help it we lost the big match tonigh:)

There's a Canada Day? Shit I guess most Americans dont care.

They're also used to para-phrase. His use of quotation marks was pretty normal.

Jummmm...can I join :Graucho

you do realize you are wasting your life posting on GOFUCKYOURSELF.COM right?

grow up.

July 1st is Bob & Doug day

You do realize that business can be done here, and money can be made right?

by insulting people who might not know what Canada Day is?

who are you hoping to do business with? eskimos?

Nope, the Bush adminstration now admits those were counted wrong. They were all red anyway.

Again, please quote me directly where I have insulted anyone.

And try not to "summarize" incorrectly again, if you can please.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You implied it. Don't play coy.

How many people on the first page knew what Canada Day is? A fact is a fact.

yes, i have nothing better to do than waste my time with semantical arguments with some guy who thinke the world would be a better place if some guy in Shitfuck Kansas knew what Canada Day was.

sorry you are offended and insecure about this issue. you might consider encouraging your government to play an active role on the world stage or at the very least make a small dent by placing some small "hey, i am important too" ads on your TGP's

have to admit, your question/comments did come off as "Americans don't know shit" attitude.

:2 cents: USD

Yep, the invisable Canada that is silent and contributes nothing to this world. No need to even bother with it! I mean, what in the hell has Canada ever done for the U.S. or for the rest of the world.

Mind you it is not a complete list, there is a vast number of medical and technological discoveries made by Canadians but I thought I would list some of the most obvious ones.

So next time you are undoing your zipper to rub one out to a color photograph of a hot chick before you call your friend on the phone and ask them to go out on the snowmobile with you and then head back to your house to watch basketball on TV while you wash your clothes in the washing machine and you turn on the kitchen light so you can inject yourself with insulin, you can think to yourself. Today was brought to me courtesy of those Canadian neighbors of mine who I consider insignificant.

Please don't tell me that you think the answers given were serious. You do remember what board this is, right?

I have TGPs? No sense in proving you know nothing really. Especially the Canada playing a role in world events part. Seriously, read the news sometime. You'll feel better for it.

I have an idea about what Canada Day is about because I have Canadian friends and I DO ask these things, believe it or not. BUT in general and as a whole, I wouldn't have a clue..... simply because I don't watch my own news, much less the news of the rest of the world. And for me to say ANYONE can know the REAL goings on of other countries is like trying to say you know what goes on in MY house. It isn't possible. We have preconceived notions of what we THINK might be going on in other countries is kind of silly if you ask me.

Sure we'd all like to THINK we know what is going on in the world, but what WE see is what the news media allows us to see, we don't see the PEOPLE and how they conduct themselves, what they celebrate and what have you, we see what they WANT us to see and that's that. And MOST of what I see when I decide to give the news "another shot" is all the bad of other countries, as well as my own, who needs all of THAT doom and gloom?

The world isn't completely run by doom and gloom, but that's what they would have us believe. Oh hell yes, there is more now than I have ever seen....... but not as much as the media would have us believe.

So while I can't tell you EXACTLY what Holidays you celebrate all of the time, when I know one is there and I have friends there, I DO ask and I am fascinated to an extreme extint of how people celebrate, how they live, what they do, what their beliefs are and so on, I couldn't a bit more tell you most of that than you could honestly tell me that you know what goes on in MY home...... all you know is what I WANT you to know...... same as the media is with us....... you know what you are allowed to know or what someone else has written and you have read.

I watched one of those on-the-street interview things, I think it was on Leno several years back, asking Americans what the 4th of July meant to them and why the US celebrates it. Most of the dozen or so passers-by asked had no clue about their own holiday, so there' s no way in hell most of them know anything about Canada day.

Except for those living along the Canadian border I'd say that most Americans neigther know nor care about the nature of Canada day or what it means.


For myself, since I love both countries for various reasons, I choose to celebrate both the 1st AND the 4th. Toss in the weekend and for me it becomes "North America Week". :glugglug

Nah, didn't take most of it seriously, but a joke doesn't necessarily mean that they knew it either.

But many did admit to not knowing.

Indeed, makes for a great holiday :thumbsup

That's easy. July 4 is the celebration of when Americans stopped paying taxes to London and started down the long road of paying even more taxes to Washington DC.

What does this guy have against Eskimos now?
Not only hates Canadians but hates Eskimos?

I am not going to go thru your entire list, but this one kind of lit up your list as being b.s.

It was originally invented in England, in 1806, by Humphrey Davy.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess "no high speed internet access"

A neutral question would be "For how many countries can you name the primary national holiday"?

seriously its not considered common knowledge to know other countries holidays.

Seriously if you live right above another country typically you do.

and was Alexander Graham Bell from Canada?

oh, and the zipper was invented by an American inventor, Whitcomb Judson of Chicago. As in Illinois. USA. I don't care enough to go through the rest of the list. Ehh.
