A Message To Our Usa Friends

[spastar]

A message to our friends in the USA from us humble Canadians eh .......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.

I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.

I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you, doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defence I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it. It's Very Nice.

I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we feel your pain.

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you want to have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

Cheers

Typical American Excess

G*ddamit, onthebottom! Did you really need to quote the whole thing again?!?!


*fuming*

 

[spastar]

And what about calling them bastards. I'm sure that all 250 million of them don't have unwed mothers.

Maybe not all......but close lol
just jokes...... Thank god they are right next door........or we might not be ....who we are!

 

[MuffinMuncher]

ROFLMAO!

OK spastar... even I laughed this time.

On a more serious note, it was nice to see that the Canadians finally stepped up and pledge some support for the pending war with Iraq, sending 2 battleships, 6000 ground troops and 6 fighter jets.

Unfortunately, after the exchange rate conversion, we end up with 2 canoes, 1 Mountie, and some flying squirrels.

Bravo. Who cares what anyone calls Americans. They can indiscriminantly call any nation they want "evil" "terrorist" etc. They can set up unrational dichotomous views of the world (with us or with the terrorists) and then impose military might based on such simplistic paradigm. And yet they get upset when people call them names.

Stupid bastards. However, I do agree with the BQ take on the Parrish comment. This and indeed most of the negativity directed at the USA is really meant for your right wing quasi-democratically elected government. We are just forget to point that out.

To the Americans, when you hear criticisms know that is how we mean it. Treat "Repulican oppression machine" as a silent "e" or the K in knife. You don't hear it but you know its there.

Muffin,

It's the thought that counts. Right???

 

[SDFeuerzauber]

What's with all the hate threads??

 

[TravellingGuy]

What's with all the hate threads??

Whats with all the mislabelling of threads as 'hate threads', this one was obviously humour all the way, as for the other "discussions" on world matters, thats not "hate" at all, those of us involved in the debates on either side (and varying sides) don't hate Iraq,Israel, Newfoundland or the US, do not misinterpret questioning ones government or the foreign policies of other governments as hate. I may not like some US foreign policies but I certainly don't hate the US, the hate appears to come from people who don't want to listen to opposing views and decide to sling useless insults instead of discussing the issues in the open.

 

[onthebottom]

All right, now I'm pissed. I'm going to ask George Will to start calling you "beer drinking hockey monkeys". LOL

OTB

Hah hah I bet most Canadians would find it funny if were were called Beer Drinking Hockey Monkeys.

Canada forms it's own Axis....

In Speech, Bush Calls Iraq, Iran and North Korea 'Axis of Evil" -- N.Y. Times, 1/30/02

ANGERED BY SNUBBING, LIBYA, CHINA SYRIA FORM AXIS OF "JUST AS EVIL"
Cuba, Sudan, Serbia Form Axis of Somewhat Evil; Other Nations Start Own Clubs

Beijing- Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil," Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they said would be way eviler than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are Just as Evil...in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil... we're the best."

Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil.
"They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. An Axis can't have more than three countries," explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So you can only have three. And a secret handshake. Ours is wicked cool."

THE AXIS PANDEMIC
International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered.

Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopolitical chairs.

Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said they had formed the Axis of Somewhat Evil, forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the Axis of Occasionally Evil, while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally Disagreeable.

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics.

Canada, Mexico, and Australia formed the Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About America.

While Spain, Scotland, and New Zealand established the Axis of Countries That Be Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear Lipstick. "That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do," said Scottish Executive First Minister Jock McConnell.

While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but
privately, world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.

A little levity is always welcome.

Thank you Moe and Ron

So you are saying that Budweiser is not the King of Beers?

 

[train]

Good commercials .....mediocre beer .

 

[MuffinMuncher]

Bboy

Ah, I see we have another wannabe politico who posts entire news stories he cut and pasted from another website simply because he is too lazy (I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not too stupid) to offer up an original thought.

And yes, this was a humor thread ... but like most non-hobby exchanges on this board, it takes less than 2 pages for some self proclaimed know-it-all to hijack the thread and start spouting his hatred for the US.

(but "Beer Drinking Hockey Monkeys" was very funny!)

 

[spastar]

So you are saying that Budweiser is not the King of Beers?

Ah....... NO not even close!!!!

 

[onthebottom]

Typical Canadian arrogance. The Great White North is always making fun of our watered down beer and Olympic hockey teams.

Isn't Hockey that game that's like basketball but with short slow white guys on skates? Actually, when I put it that way it sounds a bit gay, not that there's anything wrong with that....

OTB
