Angry With Thanks to Our Canadian Friends...

When are we going to learn that we need to start looking after ourselves and let the rest of the world start doing the same? http://www.torontofreepress.com/2004/weinreb063004.htm

It's not the youth's fault. Propaganda is simply most effective against them.

We only ignore Canada like somebody might ignore their brother. In the end, the people of Canada and the people of America are almost the same, regardless of political dispositions of our repsective governments.

Does it really matter that 14-18 year olds think America is evil?

100% of 14-18 year olds think pimples are evil also.

Speaking as a Canadian, I think we should tax all people writing on message boards.

I admit, as an American, that many Americans ARE ignorant (as there is many ignorant people in every nation), and we are full of ourselves. Why shouldn't we be full of ourselves? We are the greatest country in the world.

I always tell my Canadian friends that in order to be considered a REAL country, you have to have a war.

Now, with 9/11, America has total bragging rights! We got the biggest nutz and we`re about to bust `em all over the face of terrorism. Then we`ll wipe them clean with the Tube Sock of Freedom and pull countries like Afghanistan and Iraq off their knees!

Of course, we invaded them and they burned our White House.....how did that happen????

I am still waiting for the day that Quebec cedes from Canada to become French Canada. Then the rest of Canada can join America. We will then take the first part of both our countries names, join them together and be called AMERI-CANs.

I say we just invade them again and take 'em over. Raise their tax rate even higher but keep our tax rates the same. Win-win for us. I'm tired of all this "longest continuous unprotected border in the world" crap.

I eagerly await the followup article that reveals that 40% of American teens don't give a shit about Canada.

Like Europeans are any better? It seems that Americans get dump on when our country is the most powerful and the most free in the world when Americans visit foreign lands. Sure our government is something to dump on, but I think people think that Americans act the same way, or agree, with our government.
