"I could understand how arrogance could be met with backlash, but never have I seen a thread with so much bashing of one country."
Well when someone makes a thread that gives off the vibe "we're so much better than all of you," that can't be met with surprise.
"It's funny being from Canada, you'd think there would be so many staunch similarities between us, but when I drive down into the US, I just have to marvel at all the incredibly overweight people who go into all night buffet steakhouses, and drive enormous SUV's."
That's a bit of a low blow, but world wide obesity is unfortunately increasing. I read somewhere by like 2050 about 9/10 people in Britain would be Obese.
In Canada as of 2004, it was about in it's high %20s while in the States it's about low 50s/high 40s.
