    Makes it easy to remember his name! Extra points if the name is Jimmy or Timmy.

      So you can't say anything about PC liberals because you are PC too, just because you don't like to be called a Canadian-American.

        I think the term "Canadian-American" is absurd. I'm arguing that if other groups don't hyphenate, why should black people? Pretty much everyone I know uses black, white, Hispanic, Asian, etc, and absolutely no one is confused by these terms. African American sounds about as cutting edge as "chesterfield".

        Also my White South African friend is "African-American", while everyone in the US who is born in the US has nothing to do with Africa. So the term doesn't make much sense.

        Also, the term, "hyphenated Americans' hasn't exactly been equated with politically correct, supporters of multiculturalism. So I'm baffled why you're saying this.

          It's not absurd at all. It's an accurate description of you. Why do you hate yourself?

            Ok. Well, use the term in conversation sometime, and I'd be curious how others respond. I've *never* once had anyone call me a Canadian-American. Ever.

            I prefer the term, "snowback". TBF.

              Kid, if you can reply to Ben, you can reply to me - why so quiet all of a sudden?

                NPR is great. I some how doubt Kid listens to it though.

                  They have a long tradition of cooking with beer. Belgium is great.

                      You must be mistaking him for his twin, Evil Mobius. We shouldn't judge Nice Mobius by his brother's actions.

                        It's because she didn't say it, Kid!

                        You're calling ME stupid when you are flat out wrong about Whoopi Goldberg accusing people of being racist and you don't even have the balls to admit you're wrong!

                        Christ, you even make Ben sound reasonable in this thread!

                                I actually thought some of my imitators while I was away were rather clever. Tops though has to go to Drake who managed to impersonate me at WPC for several months before anyone caught on.

                                Then when I actually posted there, WPC banned me for... being a DL of myself. There were 4 Kenobis at one point.
