In response to skiier dude: My posts aren't 'anti everything', nor are they 'anti American'. I am an American, I choose to live in Canada becuse the standard of living is much higher, and the percentage of people who think they can solve all the world's poblems with brute force is much lower.
My posts are 'anti stupidity', eg, holding a gun to someone's head because they scratched your car. IF my posts seem anti-American, I apologise, but these days seems like 'American' and 'Stupid' are synonyms. My beef with many Americans is that they cannot see themselves in a global perspective, they tend to be very closed-minded.
For example, if I asked you, or any American on this site, what the capital of Canada is, how many could answer? what about the capital of Mexico, or even the capital of Iraq, the country you are so blissfullly bombing the crap out of?
And I certainly dont feel superior to 'everyone' on this site....on the contraty, I have respect for everyone. I have many good friends on here, and have nothing but respect for those on here who can actually ski and not just talk trash about skking. I also have respect for those on here who are intelligent and have valid points to make. My beef is with those who come on here, have no intelligence, and make dumb statements to try and feel important. That is why I am sometimes harsh in my posts...its kinda funny when some 13 year old starts spouting off about soemthing he knows nothing about.
So yeah thats the end of my rant..but all that being said, keep in mind, this is the internet...DONT TAKE YOURSELVES SO SERIOUSLY! I enjoy the intellectual stimulation of a good debate now and then, but geez, this is the interentet, therefore everything said on here is pretty much worthless. I am the first to acknowlege that, and remeber what they say about arguing on the internet...
cheers.
