I don't agree with you Jasen, but I do see your point.
I think it's hard for a lot of you to see how hard it is for Canadians to like Americans. We don't morally agree with them on a lot of things. It seems we're always being overshadowed, bought out, etc. etc. by them. As a nation, they never seem to recognize us for anything, or bother to know anything about us.
Let me give a few examples:
After 9/11, Bush said some sort of thankyou to all the countries who had helped them get by it, or something, but not once did he mention Canada.
When there was a major electricity blackout in the States and Canada, the mayor of New York automatically blamed it on us, even though after a bit of investigation, it turned out that the problem started somewhere in the US.
The other week, I met a woman from Conneticut. I told her that I was from Toronto, and she said "wow, your English is really good!" for those of you who don't know much about Canada, Toronto is a VERY English city. When I explained that, she said something like "Yeah, well, I guess that in Toronto you guys speak English, but in Ontario they speak French all the time." Toronto is in Ontario.
I'm not saying that these are good reasons to hate a country, but I'm just trying to put everyone else in our shoes. Personally, I try my hardest to like Americans as much as any other country, but it gets hard sometimes. And I can understand why a lot of Canadians feel the same way Jasen does.

"Why I hate Americans "
Pierre, no one's interested in how you became a gimp. But, I'll have to admit, your ramblings are mildly diverting - a bit like watching a monkey eat its own shit at the zoo.

Maybe it would help, Jasen, if you'd start thinking about Americans as individuals. Not ALL Americans did something to you. You're generalizing! Stupid. Not good. Don't do that.
I don't agree with the USA government, but that doesn't mean I 'hate Americans'. That would be insane. I don't agree with the Dutch government, but I don't hate all Dutch people. I'd hate myself as well then. See? We are all persons, individuals. You can't hold an entire population responsible for something you don't agree with.

A Canadian once took a big, steaming dump in my flowerbed. Another Canadian cut me off in traffic on I-75, and yet another flipped me the bird when I passed him later that very day.
I hate the f@#$ing Canadians...
Times have changed,
Our kids are getting worse
They won't obey their parents,
They just want to fart and curse. Should we blame the government, or blame society, or should we blame the images on tv No!
Blame Canada! Blame Canada
With all their beady little eyes,
their flapping heads so full of lies
Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!
We need to form a full assault, it's Canada's fault! Don't blame me, for my son Stan, He saw the darn cartoon, and now he's off to
join the klan!
And my boy eric once, had my picture on his shelf, but now when I see him, he tells me to fuck myself
Well, Blame Canada!
It seems that everything's gone wrong since
Canada came along
Blame Canada!
Blame Canada! They're not even a real country anyway. My son could of been a doctor or a lawyer, it's a true, Instead he burned up like a piggie on a barbecue, Should we blame the matches? Should we blame the fire, or the doctor who allowed him to expire. Heck no!
Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!
With all their hockey hubaloo and that bitch Anne Murray too. Blame Canada!
Shame on Canada!
The smut we must stop
The trash we must smash
Laughter and fun
must all be undone
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before somebody thinks of blaming us!

Ah, Another topic filled with love and joy! :)
Ah, a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I now know that no matter how I live my life, or what I stand for, I am hated, regardless.
Sort of takes the pressure off.

It's a good song, but I'd recommend coming on AIM to hear Vincent Price talking about pork sandwiches instead.

Jansen, I'm American. I'm not saying the USA is the best, even a blind man can see it sucks sometimes. But you know what, while your pissing and moaning about how you lost your job, our economy is in the sh*tter and millions of people in this country are laid off and if you REALLY want to blame any American - just do what we do - blame President Bush - he is, after all, in charge of the "free" world. Oh yeah - one more thing, pull the stick out of your ass - maybe then you won't be such a b*tch.
