I remember the good old days, when if you quoted somebody and editted the quote they would realise that you had done so, and ask themselves why.

If it turned out that only two words needed to be editted and the quote would serve equally well as an argument for the other side then they would retire to reconsider their position, and perhaps comes tto the conclusion that it was untenable.

Those days are over.

I would never want to pretend to be an American. I can understand why an American would want to pretend to be a Canadian, but it still annoys me a little bit. Sort of like those American backpackers who sew Canadian flags on their stuff so that people won't dislike them.

That time of the month? Old lady won't give you any? or just bored?

Shhh, Spray. I'm having fun.

You think thats why I have a Canadian flag in my local field? So I won't get flamed by non-Americans? As I said, I have a Canadian flag up because I live in Canada, pay Canadian taxes, make Canadian money, have a Canadian girlfriend, and pretty much live, breath and experience Canada on a daily basis. Not difficult seeing as I, well, live in Canada. Unlike you I might add.

When and if I leave Canada, I will change my flag accordingly. But until then I will remain unapologetically an American-Canadian, and take on any opinion I choose.

There there. You really don't have to continue posting it, sugar.

[JimmyCracksCorn]

Don't know what happened, Apolyton went down for a while there for me. Didn't think it posted in the first place, let alone twice before.

[KrazyHorse]

That's okay. We're all sensitive about certain things.

Is it legal up there to make Canadian money?

[KrazyHorse]

Funny you should mention that.

There's been a large increase in counterfeiting recently.

Hmmmm....

Yeah, because everyday my Canadianess is questioned. Only my close friends know I'm American, random acquaintences have no idea, because I'm not the type of person to flaunt my nationality. Just like I'm sure every Marylander goes "whoa, look at that Canadian!" wherever you go.

But seriously Krazy, you haven't even made an argument yet. What side of the issue do you stand on? And do you realize what you've suggested flies in the face of what the Canadian Government actually has planned for handling the region?

But I guess you wouldn't, since you don't live in Canada.

How can something nonexistent be questioned?

Given that I have been eligible (and have) voted in two federal elections, including the most recent one I have much more responsibility for taking decisions on this issue than you do.
