Proud to be canadian

And as a rebuttal to this why keep making threads about why America sucks? and then why do they act shocked when they say "Canada is better than America" and we say "no way it's the other way around"
 
I agree with you but why keep shitting on a country just to start an argument when we already know exactly how it's going to go and that there will be nothing gained by either side?
 
To be fair, I first looked at the video about the little princesses and thought they were Canadian, as in the thread title being a sarcastic "Proud to be Canadian... not!"

Like Will Ferrell said on the last page, this escalated quickly.
 
It always does because no one can take a joke. The thread with the title I have no problem with but the idiots on this site will always find a way to turn something into an argument.
 
Well actually that analogy wouldnt work unless Michael Phelps decided he wasnt going to participate in the race so his coaches, trainers, sponsers, and "towel boys" went in the race for him and then near the end of the race one of the competitors called Michael Phelps a pussy so he jumped into the pool and beat him half to death then claimed the medal for himself even though he wouldnt have been in the race at all if not for the coaches, trainers, sponsers, and the "towel boy"
 
I dont have a sourse but the reason it says British forces is because Canada was still a British colony at the time so the Canadian army at the time was considered British but it was the Canadians that did it
 
Because most Americans are patriots. And patriotism sucks. We as Europeans have quite the experience with that, trust me. It ALWAYS leads to racism, I would even say it nessecarily includes racism. It's simple sociology, patriotism origins in strict dissociation from "others".

The concept of nation states itself sucks. Americans need to reailze that there's no reason to be proud of their country. Their "history" includes genocide, forced labour, slavery, racism and countless crimes against humanity.

Why should anyone be proud of something he/she didn't do by himself anyway? I don't get it. F.e. if Michael Phelps would have been born 2500km South he would still be a good swimmer whom you've never met personally but winning medals for some South American state. There is no reason to be more or less proud, you just have nothing to do with him. It doesn't seem like you are aware of your own hipocrisy. Of course 90% of all countries did act the same way in the past, which leads to the conclusion that our earth would defenitely be a better place if 90% of the current population died from some exotic virus leaving small social communities.

 
No it was British solidiers who sailed from Britain to invade the southern US. not Canadians, plus the war was a draw anyway. (US advanced into Canada and Britain into the Chesapeake and they made a treaty drawing the current Borders)

I know you guys are joking, but that whole war is basically irrelevant to today.
 
So you're saying that if I made a thread about how terrible your country is, you wouldn't say anything to defend it?
 
I kinda see where you're trying to come from man, but if you think the US the only country to do this you're fucking stupid. I guarantee you this has happened so many times in every other war that has taken place, war drives people to do shit like this. I bet if you went to war and some of your best friends were killed by the opposing faction you would want to piss on them too, I know I would. Fuck em.
 
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK

WHAT THINGS HAS CANADA INVENTED THAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE WORLD?

AMERICAN INVENTORS:

ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

THOMAS EDISON

SAMUEL COLT

THE WRIGHT BROTHERS

HENRY FORD

Your move Canada.

well alexander graham bell was scottish...

and if you think Henry Woodward invented the first light bulb you're retarded. the first invention that is considered a lightbulb was by Humphrey Davy in 1806 in England, called the arc lamp. then, in 1841, Frederick DeMoleyns patented an improved light bulb.
 
see? all it takes is one of you dumb motherfuckers to step out of line and people notice.

best keep your hens in line.

solution= say less dumb shit on average.
 
Or, as I've said before, stop making dumb ass threads about how America sucks and it won't become a fight.

Or you could realize that it's just one person and stop being an idiot yourself and classifying it as all of America

Or, you know, don't. Keep being stupid. It's up to you
 
Ah. What the fuck. This thread is dildos. Switzerland kicks both of our asses. I wanna live there. Fuck North Americans
 
I don't make any threads and in case you didn't notice I'm not even canadian.

you're just mad because everybody around you is dumb. I would be too.
 
I really liked that article, I think every citizen needs to make sure they are not over confident in how great their country is. Every nation has it's downfalls, unfortunately patriotism can cause people to turn a blind eye on their countries shortcomings. If no one really acknowledges these shortcomings then they will never be fixed. Like George Carlin said, we must teach children to question everything.

I am not directing this at any particular nation, everyone needs to question how great their country really is or else we will never be able to make our nations better.
 
You have no right to call anyone "butthurt." If you're going to chirp canada, make fun of tim hortons, not our war heros. Sure, the USA ended the war by dropping a nuke, but that started the cold war, as well as all the other nuclear related issues. If everyone used the canadian nuclear reactors we wouldn't even have the same kind of waste needed to build nukes.

SPARKNOTES: Rosshole is an ignorant shit, Canada is great, wars are touchy subjects
 


Canadians have been responsible for some of the best inventions of our time, but a National Science Literacy Survey showed that two thirds of Canadians aren't able to name even one Canadian inventor! Canadians should be proud of all the products we're contributed to the world market. Have I missed any? Let me know!

Below you'll find the invention, inventor's name and date of invention.

i don't think i read one thing in there that could be qualified as "some of the best inventions of our time". i think we could live without any one of those things and life would remain virtually unchanged.
 
i don't think gravy on eggs is a big thing here, it's a small percentage of people who would actually eat it. and it's white because it's sausage gravy?

however, gravy on eggs has to be better for you than gravy on biscuits or gravy on french fries
