Give up. Find a battle worth fighting.

You give it up. Americans are always so busy correcting others for saying anything other than "God bless the USA" that they can't be arsed to look at themselves.

Start a CanPol thread, Sloww. If you've got the knowledge to play ball then I won't mind. And if you hadn't noticed, the place the Canucks get most worked up is in their own threads...

The same is probably true about the Finns, but I can't read that funny language they speak.

1) I was talking to the originator of the thread, who is from the States, Einstein.

2) Like this one is strictly about Canadians, even though 9/10 of the replies are from Canadians, Brainiac?

3) Putting down the Finns, are you? They read your language better than you read their's, so who is "funny", oh Learned One?

I'll assume slow, that this was a simple case of cross-posting. Prove me right.

I don't tell Belgians how to run their country.

Just the Iraqis then

Actually, the States do some ahrd to believe things.
I was watching a special on the grey wolf the other night.
How these do-gooders went to Canada and rounded them up to bring back to like Idaho and that.
The trappers they saw were asking them," WTF is wrong with you? You want these things back in your country?"
Yeah, we killed them off once, but it took like 300 years, and that included having bounties on them.
So now, here are these ranchers, and all they can do is watch the wolves drag down members of their herds,
as they're not allowed to shoot these protected wolves

Was going to respond to Sloww...but won't directly, since I'm annoyed and don't want to push this farther than it's already gone.

So I'll just say this: I value this place for the fact that I can get points of view from all over the (developed) world. There are rightist Americans, leftist Euros (and vice-versa). I'm happy with that. Now, this would be useless if we all clumped along national lines, so we require common discussions. These fall under two categories: international politics and domestic politics. And of those two, domestic politics is naturally the richest source for discussion. International politics mainly revolves around security and trade, while there are dozens of major themes dealt with in domestic politics.

I'm just as happy to talk about the health care system in Canada as I am about gun control in the States...but to do so I'd have to give a backgrounder to 99% of non-Canadians who wanted to take part. Because, by and large, the average person is more informed about the US than they are about us. Because the US is more important than us on the international stage.

Q ****ing ED when we talk about domestic issues, 90% of the time they'll be indigenous to the US.
