Bad word choice. REALLY bad word choice. In fact, I'd like to tell you to fuck off with that word choice.

Thank you for saying what I was thinking. Kind of shocked me it did.

I'll be the first to say it's not all Americans. But you're viewed collectively and globally. So much like you judge all Canadians as having an inferiority complex, your collective image isn't that good.

As an American, I was offended by your comment. I've travelled more than you have, and I completely understand many of the stereotypes that are portrayed outside the borders. I also understand WHY.

I haven't ever made fun of Canadians - well, other than your inability to master the English language by spelling VaginA correctly y'all have a reputation of being "nice," because globally you are "nice." You're like a larger, colder, more hockey playing version of Switzerland.

And, you didn't just lob out a comment. You took a swing, and kept swinging a few posts into it. It's all good though... carry on.

Here to "spread the good word"? I thought it was only Ed who did the suit and briefcase door-to-door MSF bit?
