The guy I like listens to punk rock AND the Andrews Sisters...
the girl i love (and she loves me back...strangely enough ) loves emo...and is trying to get me to go to some summer emo concert....oh the pain i go through for love...
"if asking, begging and pleading doesn't work, always go with a song and dance number."
Yeah, maybe if you move all the way left I will move up there.
...ive been thinking about moving up there, but then i realized "why should i? I live in New England, the most liberal area of the country, the land of the free and home of the married gays!"
and besides, I'd rather stay here and try my luck at running for president and stop all this discrimination by the government crap. fat guys have feelings too ya know!!
"if asking, begging and pleading doesn't work, always go with a song and dance number."
What is it with Canada, what with our gay rights and free health care? But anyway, when I graduate want to move someplace where it never snows, preferably California.
Hey, I think gay people can married in a couple of our states! I've heard about some issues with censorship from the government up there in Canada. I don't know that much about it, so I won't really comment. Did you ever see John Stewart's stand up routine? His comment about Americans and Canada made me laugh. It's so true. Not saying it's a good thing, just funny. When he says it anyway.
John Stewart:"A Canadian woman kept asking me, 'What do Americans really think about Canada? What do Americans really think about Canada?' "We don't."
As of September 2005 in the United States, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts recognizes same-sex marriage, while California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and Vermont grant persons in same-sex unions a similar legal status to those in a civil marriage by domestic partnership, civil union or reciprocal beneficiary laws.
So we're getting there. Don't forget, we've got a lot more people here in the States that have to agree with each other. People never think of that.
That's actually very true. lol, it's not that I don't like the US, but it's my requirement as a Canadian to be bitter about the whole elephant/mouse thing.
Maybe you've heard of Rick Mercer? He's the original Jon Stewart except he takes shots at both the Conservatives, the Liberals, (and the NDP and Bloc Quebecois when convenient). Anyway, he used to do this great "Talking to Americans" segment where he would go around to universities and find out how much Americans really know about Canada. Some of the results were pretty scary. I guess Canadians know so much about the United States because we watch your Tv and your movies. And let's face it, in terms of population we're pretty damn tiny. I heard somewhere that the population of New York City alone was like three times the population of Newfoundland. Pretty crazy.
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
There are more than one America (if you let me talk about US using that term -that I don't like ... 'cos it actually refers to the whole continent-) ... and that's the secret (?) treasure that that country (?) still has got.
YAH!!! That's actually one of my pet peeves... using the term "America" to refer to just the one country, that is.
I wrote America, here, to be able to write AmericaS later (that's what I'd got in mind, tho I haven't written it, after all) ... it sounded/looks better than USs or USAs ...
btw, raxo, you spelled my state, Massachusetts, wrong.
i figure since america really is regionalized, maybe we should divide up into seperate nations. the north east is prodominately liberal
(except for a senator from maine, who said that maine should be divided into the upper part "maine" and the southern part "northern Massachusetts" because the southern part of maine is more liberal like massachusetts, but since the part of the new "maine" is populated by tweleve men, eleven women and a bunch of moose and flying squirrals, it didnt really fly)
and the bible belt is prodominately conservative, so basically its like the north east and califonia....and throw in vegas, we need all the strippers and casinos we can get.
"if asking, begging and pleading doesn't work, always go with a song and dance number."
You see, no other country has America in their title. So when the title of our country is shortened to America, it at least comes from the actual name of the country. People don't say Canada of America or Brazil of America. So people get it. I think people all over the world call us just America every now and then. And it's always pretty obvious as to who they are speaking of. It has nothing to do with us being ethnocentric. By the way we call ourselves Americans, not United States of Americans, it's the American Revolution, American machinery, American ingenuity and so on. So it's pretty much separate from what we identify as North America and South America. Which right there separates the term from just plain America.

Any show can do that. They are always going to air the most ignorant people. Otherwise, how would hey get ratings? Plus, I know many stupid Americans, so it's no surprise to me that they're out there.

Oh, yes. There are stupid Americans, stupid Canadians, stupid British people, etc. I wasn't trying to slam the States or anything.
