50........

as an american, i agree. most americans are rude, greedy, and violent. however they are also self absorbed, mindless, sheep. don't ferget the last part.

In a train car there were a Canadian, an American, a spectacular looking blonde and a frightfully awful looking fat lady. After several minutes of the trip the train happens to pass through a dark tunnel, and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard. When they leave the tunnel, the American had a big red slap mark on his cheek.

(1) The blonde thought - "That American son of a bitch wanted to touch me and by mistake, he must have put his hand on the fat lady, who in turn must have slapped his face."

(2) The fat lady thought - "This dirty old American laid his hands on the blonde and she smacked him."

(3) The American thought - "That fucking Canadian put his hand on that blonde and by mistake she slapped me."

(4) The Canadian thought - "I hope there's another tunnel soon--so I can smack that stupid American again."


:D

Hey now!

I rarely lock my doors to the house, and often have no worries about leaving the car door unlocked. The only time that policy has ever been an issue is when I was living on Hastings in vancouver, but then you're a damn fool if you leave anything around that isn't nailed down, locked up, or chained to a post when you're around the densest junkie-per-capita area on the planet. :2 cents:

Moore may have taken a lot of liberties on a lot of things, but the locked door thing is straight up true for most people I've known and most places I've lived, and I've literally lived from one end of Canada to the other.

The high-tax thing is not nearly as extreme as certain people would like you to believe. Those that push the meme are the business owners who try to wring yet more tax concessions away from the government.

Last year, I paid a combined federal and provincial tax load to the tune of around 24%, and last year was quite lucurative. Business owners get a host of tax incentives, particularly small business, and the average work-a-day joe would pay roughly the same tax here as in the US, with the added advantage of guaranteed medical care. Check it out.

americans are cool, but the current administration sucks dead dog's balls

Just Canada thinks this??? :1orglaugh

I ain't read the rest of the thread yet... but it's gonna be "GFY predictable" - "Canada is shit", "the French are assholes" and everyone else lives in a "shit country" :-) OK.. get over it! :winkwink:

If it was not for the pathetic conduct and scamming of the US Admin and the apparent "acceptance" of this behavior - I got no problems with the US as a whole.

On "rude" - yea, some are rude. I can think of friends in Texas that think "northerners" are rude. There are rude assholes everywhere - not just in the US.

"Greedy"... maybe with some. It's an insulated consumer society that is almost impossible to sustain unless some form of "greed" is there where as much as possible is bought and consumed cheap. (Doubt it will be economically sustained - the writing is on the wall already.)

"Violent"... greed breeds violence, but hard to say for example, if arms were removed from US citizens that it would be any less violent than other countries.

Tho there are some very obvious peculiar US ways - like "criticism" means "hate", "reverence" shown to law enforcement/law (hell knows why - no way in any other western country!) and acceptance of the "way it is", - humans are the same the world over.

Only my 2 cents.. but the major factor in screwing the US up is the current Admin (irrespective of their stupid politics). The Admin does no credit to the US in any way - they are ... well.. basically useless. People deserve better than that.

Ya summed that up!! :winkwink:

so shut the fuck up with your crap and let us seperate
I'm sick of you english canadian fucks who talk shit. I've met some people from outwest who are awesome and honest, but for every one of those people, there are 10 like you who just suck cock and talk out of their asses.

i love the part about the dead and balls.

There's no place like home.
You guys are entitled to your own opinion.

ha ha... you have to admit, that's pretty funny though. :D


I choose to think that the particular individual American in that joke must have been an idiot, rather than think ALL our southern neighbors are personality-challenged. :winkwink:

You know what sucks for Canadians? If they were in the middle east they would be mistaken for Americans by terrorists.

"No wait I'm CANADIAN"

"Cut off his head anyways"

Coulter & Tucker's finest hour :1orglaugh


Proving once again that getting a higher education does not necessarily make one intelligent.

:1orglaugh An oldie but a goodie.

Seriously though. I'm guessing that the average Canadian's point of view is based solely on that of the current administration.

I've never thought that American's were any more rude or greedy than us Canucks. More violent perhaps, but that's a perception solely based on media coverage.

The one thing I truly respect about most American's is how patriotic they are. I'll never forget watching the Baseball All-Star game during the first gulf war. When they sang the Star Spangled Banner and got to, "Our flag was still there," the roar of the crowd was spine tingling.

That's something that I see as sorely lacking in Canada.

I thought it was very funny...the "Hey now" was a take off of the HBO show where Hank was the talk show host's sidekick.

Some people have a serious problem reading stats..

If anyone actually reads the stats , it says the MAJORITY of canadians DONT feel that way. All it says is MORE canadians feel that way than did before..

I think the increase in negative feelings since 2002 would reflect the exact same opinions americans would have of themselves..

If anything this stats shows how utterly stupid journalists are.

If you asked 1000 people if bush was the devil and 1 person asnwered YES then they did the poll 2 years later and 2 people answered yes then the same headline would be valid . MORE AMERICANS think bush is the devil , but in reality 99% of them still feel bush isn't the devil..

As a Canadian I do not dislike Americans at all. Far as I can tell they're as polite and good humored as most people around here.

Just as every country has it's series of assholes so does the USA.

So do we.

It's touching that the Canadians make polls about their feelings towards Americans. It almost makes me feel bad that none of us give a shit about what they think, lol.

Americans are jealous. They want to live up here with us. :)

I think its touching that americans would get so offended by a poll that shows the majority of canadians DONT feel americans are rude,greedy and violent.

Even more touching is how many americans who "dont give a shit what anyone thinks" that respond to such polls. :winkwink:

Gee i wonder if they asked the same question about france what would americans say..

btw heres my favourite american/canadian joke..


This is the transcript on an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US Naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10 - 10 - 95.

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians: No. I say again you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES` ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

and to be fair heres a funny joke to poke fun at canadians from an american perspective..


An American man is having his coffee, croissants, bread, butter and jam at the breakfast table when a Canadian sits down next to him.
The American ignores the Canadian who, nevertheless, starts a conversation. "You American folk eat the whole bread?" asks the Canadian with a large piece of chewing gum in his mouth.
"Of course!"
The Canadian blows a bubble with his chewing gum, then remarks, "We don't. In Canada, we only eat what's inside. We collect the crusts in containers, recycle them, then transform them into croutons, and sell them to the United States."
The Canadian has a smirk on is face. All the while, the American listens in silence.
"Do ya eat jelly with the bread?" asks the Canadian.
"Of course!"
The Canadian cracks his gum between his teeth and chuckles, "We don't. In Canada, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast and put all peel, seeds and leftovers in containers, recycle them, then transform them into jam, and sell it to the U.S."
"And, what do you Canadians do with condoms once you've used them?" asks the American.
"We throw them away, of course," replies the Canadian, with a dumbfounded look.
The American explains, "WE don't. In the U.S., we put them in a container, recycle them, then melt them down into chewing gum and sell it to Canada.
