Well I agree about basketball and Iowa! I mean, who CARES!!!
You know why Jesus Christ was never born in Iowa, don't you?
It's because in the whole state God couldn't find a wise man or a virgin!
And since I'm in a bitchy mood this morning, I think I'd like to complain about Canadians and why they fool people.
To my ears, the speech of the Canadians sound exactly like the speech of somebody from the northern states of the U.S. I can't tell the difference. And I want to complain about that. I mean, if someone is from Finland, for example, I can tell from their speech that they are from a different country. But Canadians? Can I tell that they are from a different country? NOooooo. So why do they think they have to go around fooling everyone like that?
Now when I go to Canada, I don't fool them. I mean all I have to do is to open my mouth and say, "y'all" and they know right away that I am not Canadian.
And I don't think it's fair that children in the U.S. are not taught as much about Canadian history as the children in Canada are taught about U.S. history. I mean, when I was in school, I thought that the history of Canada ended with Benedict Arnold. Well, there was one more little blurb about some slogan called "54-40 or fight", but it seemed more like a Presidential election slogan rather than Canadian history.
And I also think that the people of Quebec should speak Spanish!
I mean, we have bilingual signs in English and Spanish. Why can't it be the same in Canada? Why do I have to go there and read bilingual signs in French and English? That's not fair! Because I can kind of loosely understand what things mean in Spanish, but I don't even begin to understand French!
And while we're on the subject of different countries....I would also like to complain about Russia, China, Japan and the Middle East. I mean why did they have to have a different alphabetic system than most of the rest of the world? I mean the alphabet with 26 symbols is SOOO EASYY!!!! What's all this crap with all these thousands of little picture symbols? And Russia really irritates me. They have the Cyrillic alphabet, which have some symbols similiar to the alphabet that we use, but those symbols mean totally different things.
Talk about fooling people!
And Japanese wouldn't be hard to learn at all if they used the same alphabet that we use. But I don't draw well anyway, so how in the heck am I supposed to learn to draw a whole new language?
