JayB Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Found in a Canadian Magazine of All Places... MARK STEYN Michael Adams had a big hit with his last book, Fire and Ice, about the differences between America and Canada. My cousin always keeps a copy to hand and tells Americans, "If you want to understand the difference between our countries, read this book." And there's the rub. A couple of years back, I began some generalization or other by saying, "The difference between America and Canada is . . ." And the American I was imparting this insight to interrupted me with: "The difference between America and Canada is that Americans don't care what the difference between America and Canada is."

kix Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 we might like canadians better if they would take all the low paying labor jobs so we could boot all the mexicans (who are very nice) and not have to learn spanish just to get all our houses and yards cleaned.

TREETOAD Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Ok let me reiterate. You guys are AWSOME!! America is a great country. Done great things. The problem lies with the clowns driving the bus right now and how they got hold of the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archenemy Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 all the mexicans (who are very nice) I am pretty sure that it is racist to characterize a whole group of people--even if that characterization is "nice". I mean, is that any better than saying blacks are "lazy people". I don't think so. But hey, I'm just a woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kix Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 the discussion was about countries and citizens e.g.: canadians, americans, mexicans. you turned it into a racist gender bash. so typical of a woman to twist the entire premise of the conversation.

Its likely people would still use pinata's and eat tortilla chips. so I;m sure your commercialized sense of we are the world would not come tumbling down around your twisted schoolgirl panties. now heres 55,000,000 pesos, go buy yourself a better sense of humor instead of the one you have which was probably made in a asian sweatshop by child labor from a company owned by a Thai family who also smuggle unwitting slaves to America to add spice to your melting pot.
