Ok.... now Im ignorant on this whole argument but I just gotta know. WHY DO THESE TWO COUNTRIES HATE EACH OTHER SO MUCH...? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't hate America. I think there's a lot of media stuff goin' on there. Then again I could be wrong, maybe all Americans hate Canada and the other way around. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Coz the US have loads of stars on their flag, whereas the Canadians have only got one ganja leaf. Which is red for some strange reason. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont know any Canadians who hate america, and I dont know any americans who hate Canada. I do know some americans though who think the english language is actually called "American". As in, "I speak american" |
||||||||
|

|
|
Nah its got to due with that Due South programme. I think it stoked the flames or summat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because the general view from america is that WE ARE THE BEST!!!! USA! USA! USA! and suchlike. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol... that's gota be it. All of our countries tensions can be traced back to Due South. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess its like the Welsh, Scots and Irish hating the English. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was given quite a verbal assault from my ex-girlfriend (who's Canadian) for saying that the flag looks like a ganja leaf but red. Guess that must hit a raw nerve or something. Mind you I really like that Kraft Diner stuff they have over there.... mmm, pasta. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont hate the English... Must be one of the VERY FEW scots who dont... |
||||||||
|
|

Why not? You're letting the side down. Go and watch Braveheart this instant |

My mate was in that film. He played the young William Wallace. TRUE YOU KNOW! |
||||||||
|

Stop telling porkies Fernz. |
||||||||
|

I did smile when I heard Blame Canada mind you. No offence to you Canadian peeps obviously. I kinda have a bad feeling this topic could get out of control if given the correct um, thing.... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

I aint tellin any porkies man. He went to the same Academy that I did (Kilmarnock). His name's James by the way. |

|
|
Cmon you guys, this argument is NO FUN....Lets not fight.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I speak American... What's wrong with that? I don't hate Canadians...I just think it's hilarious to follow sentences with "eh". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have never used the expression "Eh". I think that could be a small town east coast thing or something like that : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll be checking the film credits Fernz. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you should start saying "eh" and "hoser" and talking about how much you like hockey... Sorry. I speak American. No harm intended. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are you some stupid american hoser eh? : ) how was that? It's my first time using those everso articulate expressions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh sorry I forgot to mention how much hockey rules eh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I actually do say "Eh" As in "Geogaddi is wicked eh?" I jsut cant help myselffff........ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You guys are my kind of canucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

To answer Fernz original question: I don't think that there is a hatred. Canadains think that Americans are ignorant savages, who eat to much and have no cultural identity. Americans on the other hand think that Canadians are stupid for choosing to live in igloos. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah whats up with the igloo thing 010101? I talked ot a guy in bellingham at a card tournament and he actually thought there was snow on the ground all the time in Canada.... A ONE HOUR DRIVE FROM WHERE WE WERE. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
My impression of Canada, before I lived here was that winter was constant blizzards and I wish someone had explained to me that Vancouver is in rainforest! Peoples impression of England really amuses me as they think that it is eather like Corination Street, Sherlock Holmes or Heartbeat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
010101 I know. Everyone who lives here know's its like Eastenders |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

More like Robin Hood in your case!!! |
||||||||
|
|

I'm hearing you. I saw Friar Tuck yesterday; still a fat bastard. I'm from Wales where its like Pontypandy in Fireman Sam |
||||||||
|

I am from Cheshire, like the cheese apparently! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cheshire eh? A bit close to our border. |
||||||||
|
|

I love canada; lot's of beautiful land. Can't stand the people though. Those stupid accents; almost as bad as them damn brits. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got nothin' against canada. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey Canerfold, at least we can pronounce the word "Roof" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spain against usa&canada LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because Canada consistently ranks among the best, if not THE best overall country, and yet they continue to believe THEY'RE the best. Meanwhile, we don't live in igloos and fish for our supper, we simply enjoy a better quality of life, with health insurance and no guns, lower crime, etc,etc. |

i thought most of the world had some problem with the US. this is nothing new. i don't have a problem with americans as inviduals, but i do have a problem with the way their government works. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
canada rules (by the way i never said eh or hoser and any cliché like that... but i guess it is because i am in a french school and french surroundings anyway ) but quebec sucks it is full of mindless drones well most of them . it's like there constanly patting themself on the back cuz they think there the best. I am actually surrounded by them right now scary isn't 8~( |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ok here is what i think of this topic: i dont fucking mind about countries...i just want to find people like ophecks, ironlung, woofer, lecoeur, reflex...(or any of the buddys in this board) whenever i travel along the world |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

damn i couldnt resist, ill get flamed for this but.. eheheh http://www.negativepositive.org/fuck-canada.html "Poutine - This is a concoction (for lack of a better term) of French Fries, Thick Greasy Gravy, and Cheese. It resembles a mixture of morning sickness and something an 8th grader in a cafeteria would be paid by his peers to eat. If you ordered a value meal at McDonalds and supersized it and filled the bag up to the rim with lard you could not touch the fat content of poutine. The popularity of this 'food' is why Canada approved socialized health care." damn |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Poutine may be one of the few things better than Ae, BoC, squarepusher and afx all put together. |
||||||||
|

|
|
hahah id like to try it myself, ill have to have several doctors present though |
||||||||
|

Canada - Free Healthcare America - Two Tear health system Go figure. |

How the hell do I pronounce "roof"? I think I rhyme it with "ooh" (+ an 'f' of course). However I say it, it's right and it's the way the entire world should say it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think taoist was refering to the fact that some americans pronounce roof as "ruff". But both Canada and the US are very, very large countries and each have some odd accents. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was just kidding, no offence intended if thats how you took it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah i wasnt offended, but it made me think. i honestly couldnt remember how i pronounced it. i hear people say it both ways, along with melk and pellow. that bug me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only other country i've been to is Canada, & i hold no grudge against it. i personally don't really understand the talks of rivalry. |
