ok i was just wondering what SOME Americans(i think thats right spelling) have against us Canadians like myself?

just for an example, i while back i used to play neopets(glad i quit) and on my sig i would say and i quote "I AM CANADIAN!!!, AND PROUD TO BE IT!!!" now on a daily baises i would get flamed i would recieve junk hate mail saying that i was a "Dumbass idiot who should just leave and never return" so i was being made fun of for being Canadian (i bet i was smarter then all of them put together)

so again i well say what do SOME Americans have against us Canadians?

P.S. this was before the Iraqi "Conflict"

P.S.S. i also have nothing against MOST Americans, there are some exceptions like the flamer i was posting about above.

I don't have anything against Canadians Dude, and most that just say that are just trying to get you ryled up. Actually, I never really understood whats so bad about Canada either, nice country from what I hear. As I've said in other posts, people that say that kind of crap are narrow-minded and don't really have much to do except argue with people whom they've never met on the internet. Just ignore it, and talk to people that are actually worth your time [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]


Home of one of my favorite teams anyway

Dude! All the Canucks I've met rock! Serious party animals! I've heard that some of the French folks in Canada can be rude or obnoxious, but that's just hearsay.

We're just all upset you guys still think you're a separate country. [img]graemlins/evilhaha.gif[/img]

Actually, Canadians are probably one of the least-disliked peoples on the planet.

I'd love to move to Canada when I retire.Actually Nova Scotia,my sister just bought a beautiful place in Margeretville(spelling) and she keeps telling how wonderful everyone is there.I hope to visit this fall.You want to see rude just visit L.A.My only trip to Canada was in the 60s when we drove up to Toronto.To far back to remember much,then again those were the 60s most of that still seems a blur..

I think its mostly the government that conservatives dont like. I listen to a lot of AM talk radio, and they have lots of negative things to say. Personally, I have no problem with Canadians, or anyone else for that matter. Conservatives have a loud voice and gets interpreted by the liberal media as all of us not liking all of you. Boils down to propaganda. It is sad. We have a lot to share if we could knock these barriors down. [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]
