Americans and Canadians...?

Question

Are american really as ignorant about canada as they are portrayed on tv and such? Y'know the americans that say "i love visiting overseas to places like canada" or, "so how long does it take you to build your igloo?" lol. Buffalo is like 20 minutes from where I live and a lot of the states got way more snow and worse weather than parts of canada where it was like, sunny outside without a trace of snow. Do you realize how alike to american we are and that our country is pretty damn good? I know all the states and visit all the time...I hope americans are the same.

Answer 2

I am US borne, I lived in Miami-Florida for seven years, before that, I lived in south America and recently move out of Florida for good to the UK, and now I look back to these past 7 years and even though I did my professional career there, I felt it was the 7 worst years of my live (social wise), because of this capitalistic systems I did not have many friends, everybody was busy, did not have a real girlfriend cause I did not have money to show and people saw me like I was a rat because I was poor “the more you have, the more you are” . And in the US, you can not pursued a university degree unless you come from a very wealthy family or live in debt for the rest of your life and if you become sick, you either have to have an insurance (very expensive if not paid by employer) or lived in debt for the rest of your live.

I think in the US, there is a culture to work but not culture to socialise with others, for example Drs see you as a number $ more than as a patient, i don’t want to generalise but i think the US system changes people into machines and blocks their mind form what is outside, most of the people I meet there, think that the US is the best country in every single way, without even visiting other countries, well I don’t blame then , with the little time off we had in Florida as listed on linked below, there is not time to visit any other countries,

Well, something else I realize when I was travelling Europe and south America, I noticed that most of Americans did not make any effort to a least speak the most common or used word in other languages and expect everybody to speak english as once a girl from Chicago told me “we are leaving the a globalisation world so everybody need to speak English”

In the other hand I think that economically wise US is great , my parents are doing financially very well so is my brother and most of the people I know, but unfortunately all the money they make and have, cant not even be enjoyed. I truly respect you opinion but I think that WE as “Americans” should see the world equally, change our minds, not because we are richest and have the economical power we have the right to abuse others and impose our system, ethics, morals as every country has their own and we should respect that.

Answer 3

The Americans know nothing about our country. Have you ever seen how they draw there maps. We are the largest country in the world since the USSR broke into many little countries and yet the Americans do not recognize us as any thing unless they want our Resources. To which they think they are entitled to. NOT. If you talk to an American they will ask you if you know someone, You live on the east coast and the person they are referring to lives on Vancouver Island??????????

Answer 4

Hey, why are you losing sleep over little remarks by stupid Americans who are herded like cattles by a Canadian Jew?

David Frum = Canadian Jew who wrote "Axis of Evil" for idiot Bush = pissed off N. Korea and Iran
