Poor Canada. Canada is like Minnesota, but more boring. Culturally indistinct from America (except for the Quebecois, of course), Canada sits safe between two oceans and behind the might of America, sneering at her superior neighbor. America strides the world like a Colossus. Canada watches it pass by like a speedbump. Poor Canada. America has given the world rock and roll, jazz, hip hop, and the blues. Canada has given the world... nothing. America has produced Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, General Dwight D Eisenhower, MacArthur, Patton, and Kennedy. Canada has produced... no one. America has given the world the telephone, the telegraph, the phonograph, the electric light bulb, the airplane, the liquid fueled rocket, the personal computer, the birth control pill. Canada has given the world... nothing. America landed on the moon. Canada landed in Saskatchewan. Poor Canada. We don't begrudge you your bitter jealousy - we realized it is firmly based in the solid granite foundation of irrelevence and unimportance that is the hallmark of your nation.

Poor Canada.

Wow, something got you all riled up alright.

If Canada is so culturally indistinct, and such a bad place to live, why can we smoke what we like, marry who we please, and get our health taken care of for free, while you can't do any of those things? Tell you the truth, I'd much rather live in boring old Canada than be loathed by the rest of the world as a symbol of greed and omnipotent incompetence. You talk about irrelevance and unimportance like they're bad things, but it wasn't three thousand Canadians who died on September 11th and it's not Canadian troops being sent to die in useless wars. You keep your relevance and importance, by all means, and we'll keep our bland, unimportant society - infinitely more peaceable, progressive, liberated, and forward-looking than your own.

First of all, shut your hole dipshit. Canada created Peacekeeping, Canada produced Edgar Graham Bell (ahh, we wouldn't be using computers if it wasn't for him :p ). We also produced the first supersonic jet. We created hockey, we created basketball, plus we have way better beer than you do. :) By the way we never say we're "poor" because we don't whine like some Americans. Unlike America we don't go and hide because of some terrorists. Which, by the way, your country created ;). You know what go ahead and diss Canada because you know shit about it. Stay down there and do not come up here, we don't want you. I LOVE CANADA and damn proud to be a Canadian!! So fuck you!! :mad:

PLUS: Our country sent money to help the 9/11 victim's families. Our country sent firefighters and police officers to help out. I happen to know not all Americans feel the way you do about us, you're just the ignorant, arrogant example of America.

let me preface my comments by saying i've never been to canada but i would love to go, i harbor no feelings of hatred nor do i think the u.s. is superior, etc. my boyfriend is canadian, and part of what makes him so great is where he was born and raised.

that said, your comments on smoking what you like aren't entirely true. my boyfriend just told me a story about how a 70 or 80 year old woman got busted for weed in canada. as for the u.s., it is up to each individual state. i don't know the drug laws of each state, but i do know for a fact that possession of a small amount of weed in alaska is legal (my friend went there last summer on an internship, and that's what she was told by criminal defense attorneys).

also, some states allow people to marry who they please, but the federal government will not recognize those marriages and will not allow other states to recognize those marriages should the couple move to a different state. i don't know canada's policy on such marriages; is it all of canada, or just where you live?

Yes yes. You know, I got busted smoking down a couple of weeks ago and nothing came of it - didn't even get my pipe confiscated. Right now the laws are so vague that the cops might bust you or they might not, but they're getting more and more lenient. Decriminalization of up to 15 grams, if not outright legalization, is just around the corner. If you ask Deaf, I'm sure he'll tell you that Canadians in general have a much more relaxed attitude toward weed than Americans do in general. Thank God.

I think 11 of 13 Canadian provinces/territories now recognize gay marriages, and soon it will be the whole country. My province just legalized the procedure a few weeks ago, round about the same time one-fifth of the USA decided that private relationships are public business. I tell you, nobody in Canada would ever take seriously the notion of introducing to the Charter of Rights or Constitution an amendment banning gay marriage. Well, maybe some of the Albertans.

Alaska sounds like a nice place to visit.

I seriously doubt that Canadians are jealous of you or your country, they more than likely just pity fools (ala Mr T) like yourself for being a narrow minded idiot.
So you're american, and americans have invented plenty of good and useful things over the years - exactly what did YOU have to do with any of them??

Again Paul Nice rewrites history.

The liquid fuel rocket was used by the Nazis, it was called the V1 & 2 and used to bomb the UK. The US accepted Nazi war criminals (against its own rules, yet again) who then perfected their designs. However fully functional devices were in operation in Europe first.

The telegraph was designed by Joseph Henry, but the theory and the technology he used was designed by Sturgeon, a British inventor.

Edison bought the lightbulb off of a canadian
http://www.mysteriesofcanada.com/Ontario/first_electric_light_bulb.htm

The first electric computer was English, and was used as a decryption tool by the scientists at Bletchly park. Before this the English had been using valve computational devices for artillery ranging. The first mechnical calculatory device was created by Charles Babbage, also English. To be a "personal computer" you are only talking about size. At what point does a "big computer" become a "personal computer" ? When it is not a mainframe or multi-user? When it is portable?

Depending on your criteria, there are numerous candidates for first PERSONAL computer, the earliest publicly available example is indeed the Berkley Simon. However, numerous military and prototype units were made all over the world, and I do not beleive for a second you actually know authoritatively what the "first" personal computer actually was, or even what criteria you are using to define it.

America was not the first to put a man in space, nor even launch a rocket out there. That was the Russians.

Jazz originated with Creole blacks (french and spanish speaking with more european than continental American roots) who were often trained in PARIS. That's Paris, France.

This is the origin of all of the US's musical innovations (Rock and Roll, Hip hop, etc all has its origins in Jazz, which is as American as the statue of liberty, literally)

It seems from your list is that the US is only good at passing off the innovations of others as her own. So, "poor Canada - not a bunch of self-important idea-stealing assholes" would seemingly be more apt.

And Canada got fucked over when the US's shitty under-invested power system caused a wide-spread power black-out that extended North o' the border too. What a surprise that US energy companies' being stingy cheap-ass bastards ends up fucking over everyone!

God bless good ol' fashion US capitalism!

what a stupid fucking thread.


who cares who came from where, who invented what first.....

the name of the game in world industry is not who invented it, BUT WHO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT.

the greatest nations and empires through out history RARELY invented much, but rather incorporated ideas and inventions of others (ok, explioted) and used them and fostered them better than the originators themselves.

the UK, i believe, is credited with the steam engine and advanced dyes.....but failed to take advantage of these inventions near the turn of the century.....
the U.S. and Germany were glad to, however....and went on to overtake Britian as the world powers in the next 50 years.....with ecomomies based largely on those industries.

japan and the transistor, quartz, ect......their new economy after WW2 was based on it.
they didn't invent it, though.......

because of the U.S.'s structure as a melting pot of cultures and ecomomic freedom......it was a magnet for new inventions and industries created elsewhere.......


the real question is WHO will take advantage of the next great industry: Stem Cells.

the country to foster that to a thriving industry will become the next superpower.....
mark my words......

Indeed.

Interesting fact: Callaghan actually KNOCKED OUT Hemingway in a fight. A fight refereed by F Scott Fitzgerald! LOL No joke - look it up.

That being said Callaghan was no Hemingway. I don't think anyone would argue that point. I've only read a smattering of his short stories and they're actually great, but the man wasn't Hemingway for chrissakes.

Jesus, Pauly. You don't fucking get it. Go and be the most "relevant" country on the planet. Jerk yourself off on all the message boards your wigger ass can find. Nobody fucking cares. People, including Canadians and, I would suspect, most Americans, just want to live their lives in peace and progress - something you and your like-minded onanist countrymen apparently have a hard time figuring out. I don't care how many Hemingways Canada has as long as it stays Canada, and not America.

It might come as a surprise, but not everybody wants to be like you. There's a reason your country is loathed by 90% of the world irrespective of all its past cultural achievements (which give you, personally, no bragging rights by association whatsoever). Canadian TV might not be broadcast around the world, but, concurrently, nobody calls Canada the Great Satan - and I'm pretty happy about that, myself.

Jesus, Pauly. You don't fucking get it. Go and be the most "relevant" country on the planet. Jerk yourself off on all the message boards your wigger ass can find.

"Wigger" = white nigger

It's so telling when someone uses that word to express their disgust that a white person would act like a lowly, depicable black. You might just cut to the chase and use the term "race traitor" next time.

Nobody fucking cares.

The fact that so many Canadians spend their time on this very forum badmouthing America belies this assertion. That means it exposes it as a lie.

I also find it amusing that most of you spend all day insulting the US but one person posts once about the mere fact that Canada is - and I think we can all agree on this - not important in any way whatsoever, and that it has contributed practically nothing to the progress of humanity, and all of a sudden whiners like yourself get red in the face and nearly rip their skirts jumping around in fury.

Hypocrites, you are.

People, including Canadians and, I would suspect, most Americans, just want to live their lives in peace and progress

You mean without having to read your country being slagged like you have here and like we have to every day from your lowly, irrelevant, culturally desolate ilk?

I agree.

- something you and your like-minded onanist countrymen apparently have a hard time figuring out. I don't care how many Hemingways Canada has as long as it stays Canada, and not America.

LMAO

I wouldn't worry about that! You should as soon aspire to be Rome or Britain, or any of the other great nations that have towered above the rabble throughout history.

It might come as a surprise, but not everybody wants to be like you.

Not everyone of course. Canada sure as hell does though.

There's a reason your country is loathed by 90% of the world irrespective of all its past cultural achievements (which give you, personally, no bragging rights by association whatsoever).

Indeed - it's called "blind envy".

Canadian TV might not be broadcast around the world, but, concurrently, nobody calls Canada the Great Satan - and I'm pretty happy about that, myself.

Nobody calls Canada the Great Satan because nobody thinks about Canada. Canada plays no great role in the scheme of things, and therefore Canada is neither envied nor hated nor respected nor emulated - by anyone, anywhere on earth.

Dumbass Randist moron.

Paul,

Unless you singlehandedly were responsible for rock, jazz, rap, R&B, soul, Ernest Hemingway, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Emancipation Proclamation, etc. etc..... just shut it.

The only reason you're boastful is from a pure accident of birth. You just as easily could have been born in Thailand or Nigeria or Chile.

We're not gonna give you points because you come from the land of the brave when you yourself come off as a coward.

So proud of being an American? EARN your stars and stripes. Clean up the mess America has created (at home and abroad). When you've achieved world peace, then we'll talk, okay?

Schmeltz
12-02-2004, 01:56 AM
Jesus, Pauly. I don't think anybody here spends too much time badmouthing "America" - a term that almost everybody on the planet would probably define differently. There's plenty of great things about America, as you yourself have pointed out. When people criticize American foreign policy, which is a perfectly valid line of thought, do you think they mean to criticize Mark Twain? When people criticize past American misdeeds, as many an observer of a superpower is wont to do, do you think they are implicitly slagging the principles in the Declaration of Independence? Do you honestly think we're slagging every single aspect of your country? What the fuck is going through your head? You've got to have one hell of an inferiority complex. And it is you who takes it upon yourself to assert that other countries are entirely valueless - it is you who displays the stupidity and prejudice here, and nobody else. Oh, the irony.

Again, you simply don't get it. You make fun of Canada being "neither envied nor hated nor respected nor emulated" without realizing that this is a good thing for us. I am perfectly content with Canada's ungreat position in the world, I don't care what anybody else thinks about it, and I envy nothing about your country, whatever you want to believe. I'm perfectly content with Canada's minimalist role on the world stage, as are the vast majority of my countrymen - especially since all we have to tolerate in return are the idiotic ramblings of Randist wiggers on diverse internet message boards.

Man, this is too funny. Go look up "wigger" at urbandictionary.com. You'll find that it doesn't refer to somebody who "acts black" (as though there was a set definition of "black" to which every single black person conforms), it refers to a very specific set of wannabes trying to buy into a very specific subculture. Given that, I suppose I can understand why Pauly thinks everyone else is trying to buy into some set definition of "American" - he did after all give us a solid definition of psychological projection. It's just so telling when jackasses use their own prejudices to define what someone else is telling them.

Furthermore, if Canada wants so badly to be like America, why have we legalized gay marriage in nearly the entire country when Americans just voted in huge numbers to do the opposite in spite of what Pauly here thinks of the idea? Seems like Canada is more about dispensing freedom than restricting it... oh wait, I forgot that because Ernest Hemingway lived in America it is impossible for America to have any shortcomings whatsoever. My bad!

Poor Canada. Canada is like Minnesota, but more boring. Culturally indistinct from America (except for the Quebecois, of course), Canada sits safe between two oceans and behind the might of America, sneering at her superior neighbor. America strides the world like a Colossus. Canada watches it pass by like a speedbump. Poor Canada. America has given the world rock and roll, jazz, hip hop, and the blues. Canada has given the world... nothing. America has produced Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, General Dwight D Eisenhower, MacArthur, Patton, and Kennedy. Canada has produced... no one. America has given the world the telephone, the telegraph, the phonograph, the electric light bulb, the airplane, the liquid fueled rocket, the personal computer, the birth control pill. Canada has given the world... nothing. America landed on the moon. Canada landed in Saskatchewan. Poor Canada. We don't begrudge you your bitter jealousy - we realized it is firmly based in the solid granite foundation of irrelevence and unimportance that is the hallmark of your nation.

Not that they should be critisised to for it.

Why Canada?
Because it would get a rise out of people and start up another pointless debate?
Probably.

Paul Nice and any other Americans should try coming to Fort Erie Canada for the Friendship Festival during the week of Canada Day & the 4th of July,

It is a HUGE party in the park right beside the Peace Bridge that connects Fort Erie Canada to Buffalo New York.

It is a celebration of the two best fuckin countries on earth, and all of its people.
the event is FREE, they have FREE concerts, Lots of beer and things that explode.

and the best part is that you never knbow who you are talking to when you are there,
you can learn alot about the people of both countries and if you have a beef with a certain country when you get there, then iam sure you will have a more positive outlook on that country by the time you leave there.

Check out the website: http://www.friendshipfestival.com
