Point taken.
You could try.
'We at least have french canadians who are insane but cultured wheras you guys just have deranged gunmen on schoolgrounds"
or
"hey the US has to have a place outside itself where people who don't want to shoot strangers can run to."
or
"Us and lapland are the only countrys capable of looking down at you, we got the balcony you got the pit, mosh on yanki-boy"
or
" Hey at least our indians have still got their health."
or
"We have moose and a moose would kick a bisons arse (providing you guys could still find one)"
or
"At least our presidents not so dumb that he can't chew and watch football on TV at the same time."
All for now.
--and triona you do leave yourself open sometimes, theres this big statue called the statue of liberty, it was a gift from france who had a constitution that supplied liberty, equality and some other rty since the french revolution which occured long before america saw the benefit of a dead indian. but to be honest france isn't blameless either. In fact I blame you all.

We have moose too. And the Bronx Zoos program to bring back the buffalo, has significantly replenished their numbers. Besides, based on weight and fighting styles, my money's on the buffalo.

I have since been corrected by a chorus of local americans who are actually quite possessive about their moose. They are american moose, they were born in america and its only out of a deep sense of moosey indifference that they don't organise and migrate up to kick some canadian moose butt.
Still i like the idea of Moose Vs Bison, does anyone know anywhere where only a fence seperates them?

HOWEVER, I'm hoping jonnyflash can clarify this quote:

However, I suspect this will only strengthen your resolve that we live in a comic-book, starring GOOD Captain America VS. the EVIL Arch-Axis leader Lenin-Ho-Che-Sadaam-Hitler-Stalin-Osama Bin-Kim 2 Sung.[/QUOTE]
Your tone here regarding the goodness of the US is sarcastic, but surely you're not implying that your hyphenated list of oppressors and mass murderers were/are not really evil?

Well,let's see..
Take Hitler for example. Henry Ford, a self-described fascist who produced and bankrolled an anti-semetic newspaper for years, donated millions to Hitler's party, and set up factories to produce vehicles for the Axis war machine is firmly on the good guys side in the hazy American Dream type world-view, while the man he helped install in power in Germany is always on the bad guy's side. Why?

Take Osama Bin Laden...
Given he did have anything to do with the recent terrorism, even CNN has admitted he learned all his skills from american intelligence operatives. This previously nameless religious zealot was turned into a respected leader by the CIA.
But the CIA are good, and he is bad.. Why? They both look bad to me.

Now Bush wants to boost his war economy by attacking and murdering not just the average Afghani, but Phillipinos, Iranians, Iraqis(who are already dropping like flies from US sanctions), and Korean citizens as well.Who's next, Canada? Sure, the oil pipeline is in the middle east, but what the hell is in Korea? Surely it's not the food. It looks like this madman is about to start a nuclear war.
I agree that terms like Good and Evil are useless when describing world politics. I prefer just and unjust, honest and corrupt.
Apocalyptic and non-apocalyptic.

Still breathing, non-bombed and non-nuked in Canada.(Thank God)

Simple really fits nicely on a bun, don't you think? Add an egg and you have a ready made hot sandwich on your way to the morning lottery.

One of the few thing mcdonalds got right I figure.

Triona,

Thomas Jefferson based his writings, including the Declaration of Independance and parts of the constitution, on French philosophy and ideas. You see, while there was a war going on he came here to hide... euhh I mean study. And Ben Franklin was just here groveling for money, and to flirt with the ladies, of course!

It's all been documented in the Merchant Ivory modern classic "Jefferson in Paris" starring Nick Nolte.


France is the birthplace of many great IDEAS, things just never seem to actually get DONE. That's where those yanks come in...

France & the USA actually had an enormously amicable relationship until the 60's when DeGaulle & Kennedy had a hate-hate relationship. Funny enough, one was assasinated and the other was kicked out of power not long after because no one could stand mr "I am France" anymore...

P.S. that referendum was RIGGED! QUEBEC SHOULD BE FREE OF ANGLOPHONE CANADIAN OPPRESSION!!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

If all Americans are "proud" to be Americans then why do they always travel with a Canadian patch on their backpack?

I don't mean to add fuel to the fire but I had to pose the question.

Oh yeah, and check this site out www.standonguard.com

What in the world are you talking about?

If this is kind of response you give to the "52nd state" remarks, then it's a step in the right direction for you to ask advice on being witty. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

You know, Canada could have had American know-how, British Government, and French culture. Instead she ended up with British know how, French Government and American Culture. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
