Do you work hard at being a condescending, insulting ignoramus or does it just come naturally to you? Comes natural. I've always been good at it. But I have to work to keep my skills sharp. It's ironic that your sarcastic insults of an entire nation only seem to bolster the stereotype of Americans. Hey, don't blame me for being a little pissed. Canada is one of many nations around the world who are happy to benefit from the free billions we give them ($2B, for Canada). This doesn't count the fact that we keep them from having to have their own damned military. When they're needed, they are notably absent. Fair weather friends, I'd say. And we have a bunch of them.

Canada: "It's not our fault we're morally superior to U.S." thestar.com For a country that has nothing and offers nothing it sure has a big mouth. For a country that is totally dependent on the United States they should be kissing our ass instead of throwing stones. It's amazing that jealously can cause a country like Canada to bite the hand that feeds them. Just a bunch of Cuba lovers.

You have previously stated that you know nothing about Canada except for what you have read (what ever that is) but now you state that a couple of freaky left-wingers exemplify "that well-known Canadian attribute of intelligence". Do you work hard at being a condescending, insulting ignoramus or does it just come naturally to you? It's ironic that your sarcastic insults of an entire nation only seem to bolster the stereotype of Americans. Instead of insulting people for no apparent reason why not try a different approach. I would be interested to know from what sources you derive your opinions from. Is it from Bob and Doug McKenzie movies or rural Southern folklore? By criticizing others, it keeps people from looking at this own shortcomings and insecurity while releasing a lot of pent up anger. Unfortunately, on some level, he actually believes what he's saying is true. A conservative mind is a good thing to waste.....if you know what I mean. <g> ted
