Inferior to Canadians.

No, seriously. Canada is a much better country.

hear, hear!! XP

Seriously, Canada's awesome, it's kinda like the US but without all the religious nuts, obesity, hating others...etc

US, Y U make fun of Canada all the time?? D:

Is it necessary to always say this? It's really generalising Religion. I'm religious but I'm not a huge nut about it. :P I don't think Pokemon are demons or anything. I also don't think that evolution isn't real, :/ is it possible to not say "religious nuts"?

Once Rick Santorum goes to hell then we can stop.

Shows how much I know... who is he?

Just some crazy "politician" that is somehow still slightly in the GOP nomination race.

I'm guessing he is also a "religious nut"?

Why are you trying to hate me Jay? That's pretty ridiculous of you.  


I don't know. I like to 'break' people. Find their flaws. In most cases, posters do this on their own and there's no effort needed by myself. But you...you're always respectable and nice, almost perfect as a poster. This makes me having a slight hatred of you. Deep down, I know these feelings are ridiculous and illogical, so I can never entirely hate you. That's why I am looking for you to actually do something wrong so I can have legit reasons to fully hate you.

Thanks a lot Jay. :'[ 

Edit; I guess some of those statements were nice so make that face a: :'|

as the joke goes

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said: "Today I am going to create a land called Canada, it will be a land of outstanding natural beauty. It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life, and rivers stocked with salmon."

God continued, "I shall make the land rich in oil so as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Canadians, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth."

"But Lord," asked Gabriel, "don't you think people are going to hate Canadians for this?"

"Not really," replied God, "just wait and see the neighbours I am going to give them."



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

I have a lot of things to say about it (mostly negative stuff), but what annoys me the most is how they think that the entire American continent is theirs (and it's just one continent by all logical geographical definitions, the US, and to a lesser extent Canada, seperate the continent so that instead of making the sacrifice of saying "US and Canada" they can say North America, without realizing that Mexico is part of North America).
It's offensive and disrespectful to the other Americans to refer to the US as "America" and using the demonym "American" exclusively for them.

Edit: "Oh, and as a favor, let us know what country you're from." I was born in Brazil, went to live in Italy when I was 2, and I've been in Canada since 2010.

I personally disagree with this. The name of the country is the United States of America. The name of Canada is Canada. The name of Mexico is Mexico. Only one of these has America in it, and that is the US. Canadians, Mexicans, and Americans. It is not out of arrogance that we use the term American, but because the name of our country contains America. What would you recommend we use instead?



Here some alternatives to american: Unitian, Statian,Usaian. Dont go around and steal the name of a continent just for yourself.

Actually, I think I may hate you because you're so far ahead of myself mentally when I was your age. When I was thirteen, I couldn't even create an idea, let alone articulate them like you do. This leads me to being insecure that you may soon surpass and make me old and irrelevant. I know. It doesn't make sense at all but that's why I hate you. You make me insecure about myself. >: /

EDIT: This is probably why I get upset whenever someone younger than me proves to be better than me at something. This explains why I instinctively beat my younger brother whenever he beats me in a video game.

Great! Now here's what you do. Go convince the rest of the world to use those terms. I did not choose the term, but I use it because that is what is commonly accepted; just the same as everyone else. If you don't like it, change it. Get people to change the word that they use. If you do that, then we can all be proud that the term American can be applied to not just any single country, but to any person living in North or South America.

To blame citizens of the US for using the term American is absurd not only because America is in the name of our country, but also because none of us chose it. It has been around longer than any of us, and the rest of the world uses it too.

Wow! O_O Thanks? It's really surprising to see you say that.
