The rest of the world starts to bitch because the US shouldn't be involved in the Isreal/Palestinian conflict. It was never their fight. They entered it un-invited and, for the most part, unwanted.

Fuck, this is the third time dingleberry.

WE pay YOU because YOU are BROKE and need the money. And we can get away with paying you less than an average American would demand.

Its the same reason we make things in Mexico and Taiwan. Thats the league you are in.

Be glad we give you a few dollars to buy hay and beer.

I say we let Americans build the cars and let you fuckers starve.

FATPad 06-30-2002 04:26 PM

They bitch about us no matter what. If we intervene it's because we're intrusive and want to dominate the world, if we leave people alone it's because we're uncaring and not living up to our obligations to the world.

A friend of mine wrote a kickass summary of this once. I have it saved somewhere.

Just the Village Idiot 06-30-2002 04:27 PM

And current US policy was not to be involved -- 'til the rest of the free world started whining as usual.

Yes, Israel hates all the money we give them to live.

TopTGP 06-30-2002 04:29 PM

FATpad, the United states has no expectations or obligations to the world. the US intervienes because it is intrusive, you can deny it as much as you like... And you can continue thinking that everyone loves the US... You may think you are right, and your opinions are supperior only because you are American, but the world knows otherwise.

TopTGP 06-30-2002 04:32 PM

Labret; stop giving them your money, and start putting the money into your own country, where it is really needed. Your education system is a joke, and you spend millions and millions of dollars daily on the military. That money spent on the military could be spent on better housing for low-incolme families, or maybe it could be used to improve the disintigration law enforcement (you know what I mean, I honestly think its manditory that you must be 300 pounds or higher to be a cop in the states).

Just the Village Idiot 06-30-2002 04:32 PM

Hahaha --

Top: you make laugh.

You must miss the normal screams that the US NEEDS to do something about this...

as far as I'm concerned -- they should call on Canada next time... oh wait... there isn't a damn thing the Canadians can do about anything.

Except brewing beer of course.

Incorrect. If the US does nothing, we get reamed for not saving yet another 3rd world country from death and starvation.

The rest of the world has this nasty habit. They hate the US. They HATE us. They tell us we're domineering, tyranical, intrusive, and out to control the world.

Then they ask where their share of our vast wealth is. Why aren't we sending them as much aid as we send Country X. They call us evil, tell us we suck, then hold their hand out and ask for their share of our wealth.

Personally, I wish we would just withdraw from the whole world. Pull all our military back to our borders, stop sending the rest of the world ANY aid, and just buy what we need.

Be interesting to see how long things run until the rest of the world starts crying about us not sharing the wealth and doing our part to make the world a better place.

FATPad 06-30-2002 04:36 PM

Here's my friends little post he made on another message board a while back. :) Argue as much as you like, it's right on the money. The world bitches no matter what we do. :)

<----------------------------------------------------------------------->
I am an American.

When I intervene to save a nation, I am imperialistic. When I do not, I?m an isolationist.

When I work, I am a capitalist. When I do not, I am lazy.

When I eat, I am fat. When I diet, I am shallow.

When I donate money to a foreign country, I am acting out of self-interest. When I do not, I am selfish.

When I become rich, I am bourgeois. When I do not, I am a failure.

When I defend myself, I am a bully. When I do not, I am a coward.

When I am educated, I am an elitist. When I am not educated, I am an idiot.

When I pray for peace through war, I am warlike. When I pray for peace through diplomacy, I am weak.

When I believe in America, I am a jingoist. When I do not, I am self-serving.

When others resent me, it is because I am American. When I resent others, it is because I am misinformed.

When I offer to feed a nation, but nothing else, I am ruining them. When I trade with them openly, I am arming them.

When I buy oil, I oppress a people. When I do not, I impoverish a people.

When I make a mistake, the world notes it. When I do not, the world belittles it.

When I am proud, I am arrogant. When I am not, I am pathetic.

TopTGP 06-30-2002 04:39 PM

No, see, the US government likes to keep Americans thinking that the world depends on them to keep the peace. The US doesn't get reamed out by the world when they let "yet another 3rd world country" go by the wayside, the government in the US just likes you to think so. The United States, while against communism, is run, in many ways, like a communist country. They don't know what's outside of their borders, they don't think anyone else has any history but them.

I'm leaving this argument now on a final note. The United States would be just another country on this planet, had the leadership been different, and American's would be so much more different (mainly, they wouldn't be so damned arrogant towards everything) then they are now. Had the US been under different leadership, and been much more passive, a couple of "world famous" buildings wouldn't have gotten knocked over, and the US wouldn't have so many goddamed enemies.

Look at Canada. No-one hates Canada because we are friendly and peaceful. The only people that dispise Canada seems to be the Americans.. (which, in my opinion, are jelous over the fact that Canada is liked by everyone, and hated by few).

Nobody knows who you are.

Nobody hates Zimbabwe, Argentina, or Cockjackistan either.

Why? Because nobody cares or knows where you are.

What has Canada given the world to recognize you for?

Bad music? All your talent leaves and moves to the United States as soon as they realize they would actually like to make money.

But wait at that point you'd be crying about the US being isolationist.

Everyone knows where Canada is Labret. They know because we're right above (above not only on the continent, but on the list of the most respected people) the US. People know that when the US bombs a poor country because they don't like the idea that their oil prices wen't up 2.3 cents, Canada had nothing to do with it. When they see your soldiers shooting at Muslims, they don't see Canadian flags on the jets or the soldiers, they see the American flag. Why do you think so many people in foreign countries seem to enjoy burning American flags? Because they hate America.

Im gone. I can't bother arguing a point any longer, at least not with Americans as ignorant as you people are.

Actually [Labret], people who work in the auto sector in Canada earn more then the average U.S. auto worker and more then the average U.S. worker even if you were to convert from our northern peso back into U.S. greenbacks; you must of had us confused with your southern neighbors. The auto industry also receives less subsidies for their plants and such in Canada then they do in in the U.S. .




Diary of a new Canadian Immigrant...


Aug. 12 - Moved to our new home in Canada. I am so excited.It's so beautiful here. The mountains are so majestic. Can hardly wait to see them with snow covering them.

Oct. 14 - Canada. It is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves have turned all colours and shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful countryside and saw some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly they are the most wonderful animals on earth. This must be paradise. I love it here.

Nov. 11 - Remembrance Day. Deer season starts soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it snows soon. I love it here.

Dec. 2 - It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won). When the snow plough came by we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place. I love Canada.

Dec. 12 - More snow last night. The snow plough did his trick again to the driveway. I love it here.

Dec. 19 - More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work. It's beautiful here but I'm exhausted from shoveling. Friggin snow plough.

Dec. 22 - More of that white shit fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands and a sore back from shoveling. I think the snow plough hides around the corner until I'm done shoveling the driveway. Asshole.

Dec. 25 - Merry F'ng Christmas! More frigging snow. If I ever get my hands on the son-of-a-bitch who drives the snow plough,I swear I'll kill the bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt the friggin ice.

Dec. 27 - More white shit last night. Been inside for three days now except for shoveling out the driveway after that snow plough goes through every time. Can't go anywhere, the car's stuck in a mountain of white shit and it's so frigging cold. The weatherman says to expect another 10 inches of the shit again tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10 inches is?

Dec. 28 - That f'ng weatherman was wrong. We got 34 inches of the shit this time. Can you believe that he missed it by 24 inches. At this rate it won't melt before summer. The snow plough got stuck up in the road and that bastard came to my door and asked to borrow my shovel. After I told him that I had already broken six shovels shoveling out all the shit he had pushed into my driveway, I damn near broke my last one over his bloody head.

Jan. 4 - Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on my way back a damned deer ran in front of the car. Did about $3,000 damage to the car. Those stinkin' beasts should be killed. The bastards are everywhere. Wish the hunters had exterminated them all last November.

May 3 - Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing is rusted out from all that blody salt they put all over the roads. ??

May 10 - Moved to Florida. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever want to live in such a God forsaken place as Canada.



O.K., I'll let you get back too poking fun @ canucks now.

Wow, what a nice simplistic Canadian view on just about everything.

So now we are bombing Muslims? I could have sworn we were bombing terrorists? Out of how many Muslim nations on the planet... how many are we bombing? One that I know of. The one that harbored the individuals who flew they asses into the WTC.

Why do they burn American flags?

Well, most Muslims you see burning American flags are doing so because we support and prop up Israel.

If Canada was sending to Israel they would be burning Canadian flags as well. But given you have no money thats out of the question. And I know you are not saying we should stop supporting Israel. Are you?

As long as we feed the Zionists, you will see our flags being burned.

You give up very easy little girl. I enjoy your sesame street view of the world. Give me more to laugh at.

Three Canadians and three Americans are traveling by train to a hockey game. At the station, the three Americans each buy tickets and watch as the three Canadians buy only a single ticket. "How are you three guys going to travel on only one ticket?" asks one American. "Watch and you'll see" answers one of the Canadians.

They all board the train. The Americans take their respective seats but all three Canadians cram into a bathroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the bathroom door and says " Ticket please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Americans see this and agree it was quite a clever idea. So after the game, they decide to copy the Canadian's trick on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that).

When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Canadians don't buy any tickets at all! "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed American. "Watch and you'll see" answers a Canadian.

When they board the train the three Americans cram into one bathroom and the three Canadians cram into another bathroom nearby. Once the train leaves the station, one of the Canadians leaves their bathroom and walks over to the bathroom where the Americans are hiding, knocks on the door, and says "Tickets, please!"

for the most part, most of the canadian posts have consisted of either hockey, beer, cars, canadian flags, their strong economy, beautiful scenery, or their huge accomplishment during wwII like 50 years ago. other than that it doesn't seem like canada has really progressed as a country... except for those things.

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.

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."

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

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

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

My dislike of Canadians began in college. Prior to that I had never met a Canadian. Living in Washington State (or as some insist, Palestine) I had probably ran into a couple, but I had probably mistakenly assumed that the speech impediment and the eyes that set too far apart were a result of some inbreeding by the residents of Tumwater. A whole community of inbreeders. But I digress...

At the beginning of the fall semester, 3 girls (1 semiattractive, 2 buffalo) moved in across from us in our apartment complex. In retrospect I should have viewed what came next as a warning of what was to come. Before they did anything else, like build a nest for burrowing into at night, or shaving, they installed the prerequisite Canadian flag.

No big whoop I thought, exchange students.

Being Canadian they immediately began drinking, and I dont mean drinking, I mean DRINKING... it even startled me at first. Hell, I even thought it was a admirable trait... at first. And soon after one of my friends began banging one of the water buffalo, and another friend started procreating with the half decent one that had a voice as deep as a mans. unnerving.

It was right about now that I began to realize the massive chip that rests on all Canadians shoulders.

I saw someone ask them if they were Americans.

With their reaction you may very well have assumed he had just told them that he had just returned from raping their grandmothers, or the elders of the herd.

We all laughed at their reaction and were subsequently thrown out of their apartment. oh no. But not before I could streal some of their hay. But thats a whole different story.

Soon we began taunting them because we knew it got a reaction out of them. Sometimes very violent. We soon learned that the worse thing you can call a Canadian, is an American. They would sit around and moo about how Canada was great and that there was lots of grazing space and the sun felt good when it fell upon their coats. And of course each and every time we would inform them of the greatness of America, their basic Canadian education prevented them from arguing with us. So in true Canadian style they resorted to more drinking and violence... and we all got thrown out of the barn again.

This went on for a couple months before we started feeling like it was our patriotic duty to get them deported or at least make them voluntarily leave. So began the campaign.

Really, shouldnt use the word "campaign", it was much simpler to achieve than we had hoped.

I installed key trappers on their computers and had it email me the logs every night. And every night like clockwork, we had a fresh batch of boyfriend trouble, family trouble, school trouble, and best of all... lots of good ol fashioned Canuck inferiority induced American bashing sent to the herd back home.

We saved it up until we could see some patters and establish some good story lines... who was who, what was what, and then we began systematically emailing it to everyone they knew. What? Your boyfriend didnt know you were fucking someone else? He does now. Your American History professor doesnt know that you dislike Americans as much as you dislike bathing? He does now. Parents didnt know you liked to give blowjobs at parties... they... do ... now.

The devastation was swift and yielded almost instant results. One girl was back in the cattle car headed for home within a couple days. The remaining two didnt last much longer.

America was safe.

Jump ahead a couple years.

I am doing a year in Helsinki Finland as part of an exchange program.

Guess who else was there?

Canadians. Somehow they had scraped up enough money to send a few.

And the drinking begins.

I became friends with this kid named Neil, he was cool as hell, he couldnt help it he was Canadian. We would get piss drunk almost every night.

I decided to try my theory out on Neil and the rest of the herd. Sure enough, when asked if they were Americans, the reaction ranged from disbelief to horror and rage.

I also noticed that everything they had with them, or took with them on outings, had Canadian flags on them. I mean EVERYTHING. So I ask... "why all the Canadian flags Neil?" "So nobody will mistake me for being an American Labret." Yeah, god forbid someone mistake you belonging to the worlds largest super power... whatever turns your crank Neil.

And sure enough, everywhere we went, if another Canuck was within 5 miles, they would run over happy to see a fellow member of the herd. It was fun watching them sniff each other.

One night we were at a bar and several Finns joined us. I dont know why the Finns decided to start bashing Canada, maybe they know something we dont, but they did. In broken english, the Finns went on a rampage. Within 5 minutes Neil was crying. Seriously, crying. I felt bad, Neil was an ok guy, he couldnt help where he was from. He just didnt understand what all the hatred was aboot.

Canadians have a chip on their shoulder. A HUGE one. They live in the shadow of their big brother and it kills them. They get no recognition from the rest of the world. All they want it to be recognized... thats why they always use the "we are the best, the jewnited nations says so"... bleh bleh bleh. And when they get recognition, they are confused with Americans. Which REALLY kills them.

Nothing infuriates a Canadian more than confusing him with his Superior. Its fun, try it out.

you actually expect any Canadians to read that? we're too busy trying to brew tastier beer, exploit our free healthcare, and reinforce our igloos ;)

Too true - I dont know why this is but it is very true, must have something to do with the way that Canada tries to represent itself - as a whole world country, a melting pot, when in reality it is not - this only exists in the larger city of Toronto and maybe Vancouver, but no where else - the rest of Canada is isolated and full of small town sensibilities.

I think that the only thing the average Canadian hates more than Americans is the city of Toronto - which is where I'm from - that is even stranger than the Canadian US thing, but hey we're Canucks so go figure.

I'm glad I'm canadian because americans are being ripped off. For example. Everyone knows that ISP's run monopolies. Take AT&T Broadband. If you live in California, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, Virginia, Mass., Maine, Wisconsin, and I think there are a couple more, you would know that You have to get AT&T if you want cable internet. That's fine, except they charge $49.95/m for 1.5 Mb/s down and 300Kb/s up. Not to mentions horrible service. The techs are retarded but that's because they're americans. Now, if you were Canadian, you would get 1.5 down, 400 up, for $42.95/month CANADIAN (less than $30 US) and the downtime is... well, I was down once for about an hour this year. Also, we pay the same amount in Canadian dollars that Americans pay in American dollars for computer parts. To sum it up, when it comes to electronics, americans take it in the ass because they don't know better. :2 cents:

There are a few historical reasons such as the isolationist movement in the west and the seperation movement in Quebec, but lately it has to do with Toronto being the capital for almost all of the media and economic power in Canada. Whenever a coast to coast sporting event is broadcast it is 95% of the time a Toronto team that is shown, wether it is the Leafs, the Blue Jays or the Raptors (the Raptors dont really count since the Grizzlies are gone), the national news almost always has a Toronto bias towards it, the people in the street interviews are usually people from Toronto. Toronto has come to symbolize the way Canada wants to be but might not really be - such as with the multicultural melting pot and a very left of center political base.

We are definitely the big dog in Canada and get some of the same hate from Canadians that Americans receive from other countries.

And you know how it is - when your the big dog you like to swing your dick, it's just that you Americans have a much bigger yard to swing it in.
