This is supposed to be based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.) Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision. Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision. Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course. Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call. |

im pretty sure that was NOT a real radio conversation.. doesn't exactly sound professional... especially showing off about ur fleet to someone on teh radio.. ..then "this is a lighthouse. you call." im pretty sure tha american battle group would know there is land over there.. its a joke, people... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hm well i guess that radio conversation is concrete evidence that every American is stupid |
||||||||
|

My superior is Canadian and she claims all the time that americans are a sick, perverted nation and that canadians are somehow better. (although she does admit that everything that happens in america, transfers to canada shortly after...) I'm trying to convince her that for us, Europians, they are all one and the same... No disrespect to any of you, our transatlantic friends. As I've already written on some thread or another, i hate americans and Canadians as much as i hate my own nation. BTW, that conversation is obviously a joke. But it's funny... |

My only impression of Canadians is the mountie Frasier from Due South. Canadians don't make much of an impact on the world. Americans are bang in yo face however |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, to me they are the same... I mean NBA and NHL cover Canada too and they're both in NATO and so on... But in this South park movie (a lot of fun for me), there seemed to be a lot of joking about American - Canadian differences |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aren't the Canadians supposed to be really polite to the Americans "brashness"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's what they say. |

Just to let everyone know that 'navy vs. litehouse' was not a joke. It really did happen. It's funny because it's true. It's not a stupid american's thing but rather a "stupid millitary" thing. |

well, yeah, I remember during that NATO action against Yugoslavia, this f18 pilot has been assigned to bomb this Serbian military convoy. He reaches the target and can see for himself that this is a convoy of albanian elderly people and kids, trying to escape from war zone, with old trucks and agricultural vehicles. So, he's like, are you guys sure, there seems to be a mistake here, these people are civillians. And his people just confirm that this is the target, regardless of what he sees with his eyes. And he goes BOOM, some Air-To-Ground missiles are fired and 80 kids and old people are roasted to fucking death. Just due to relying on fucking technology and system. And those were the people they came here to protect in the first place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know whether protecting the people of Yugoslavia was NATO's objective. The bastards |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, they said they came here to protect Albanians from Serbs... Not that anyone believes it, mind ya, but all the same it is somehow hilarious (and frightening, too) what they did to those people... |
