America Vs. Canada

I don't know if you guys in the states know of this saying, "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story"

Either way it's bloody funny. And what builds the credibility in this text is the arrogance. Of course all of us outside the US would believe it. It fits the description.

Pearl Harbor wasn't a hoax but the movie still made it look all heroic. Was in the video store tonight, and saw the 911 tower movie. It's amazing how a complete screw up disaster always ends up smelling like the roses of success. What the?



you do have a point, although being the 2nd most powerful country in the world is a reason to be arrogant.

the problem is you don't see #1 bragging too much..Ireland rules over all Bi***es...lol

now in all seriousness, the Americans see the rest of the world as arrogant too and I suppose it is true, almost everybody supports their homeland and thinks it is the greatest and everybody else's isn't, thats the way it is, and that is the basis of people teasing eachother on the threads.
hell I have no problem with the Americans, no problem with the Canadians,none with Russians, nor with French, and no problem with the Aussies. but its fun to tease them. :o :D
 
Canadian bacon = ham.

American bacon = tasty goodness that smells so good while it's cooking that you drip a little in your pants. And, it tastes so good that it leaves you smiling and wanting more.

America pwns bacon.

/discussion.

We don't call Canadian bacon just bacon. We refer to it as Canadian bacon/back bacon. It is not served EVER. It does suck. We eat normal bacon. American style bacon.

Russia blows at hockey, kserg sucks at life, Newfoundlanders talk funny, poutine has cheese, soulgeezer got a pizza that was an error on the part of the makers, and is no way an accurate representation of pizza in Canada...although, the maritime provinces do have a creepy pineapple fetish...I mean, they have Pineapple Crush (like the soda)...messed up, and this thead should die.

Oh, and...



"Eh?"
 
Funny that if non-Americans love their country, they are patriotic, but if Americans love their country, they are arrogant. Considering how much Canada copies the US, the dislike doesn't make a lot of sense. Must be the French influence. ;)

BTW, the American who invented basketball was still a Canadian when he invented it. Thanks for that.

Tim Hortons coffee. Mmm.
Eating spaghetti with a spoon. Boo.
 
Mr. Fontaine, as much as I respect the alcoholics of Canada and particularly Newfoundland (Screech'll give anyone a kick in the teeth!) I must remind you that you just called on Russia for a drinking competition in liquor.

...

We kick their ass at hockey, but never invite Russia to a drinking contest involving liquor.
 
I've never seen anyone do that in my life.


French maybe?

Actually I think it's a north vs south thing. Something about twirling the fork on a spoon to eat it. I'd never heard of it until I was in Ontario. I was trying to mention things that I'd experienced personally, and I'm running out.

Here's a couple more, though:
V8 Mustang as a rental car. Yay.
Wind chill at 50 below. Boo.
