No problem thrawn96!
I was not offended by the fun you poked at Canada and, indeed, I thought some of it was quite humourous. I was merely shedding some light on the perception that Canada has no military history of which to speak. Quite the contrary. In fact, your White House was once pink (if I remember correctly) and was later painted white for a visiting French dignitary after a small force of Canadians torched it. OK, OK, so most of the force was British, but they were Britons from Canada! Finlandril Far Seer |

Oops, with that constitution thing, I was referring to a different document... don't remember exactly what I was going to say, but... how would you classify the British North America Act (1867)? Because that's what I'm referring to. Not the Constitution. Sorry.
Finally taking on that nuke thing... Quote:

So in summary, NONE of the reasons you provided justify nuking Canada. Oh, and secondly, even if you tried to nuke us you'd fail in doing so, because of our missile defense system that the United States relied on heavily during the Cold War. |

And just another point about the health care system. A few days ago the newspaper her printed up the UN ranking of countries according to their health care systems. Canada didn't do great, it was 30th. But the US was 37th.

Why do you bitch about a mere couple boatloads of illegal immigrants, when we get dozens of boatloads of aliens ever day? They come illegally from the Orient, Mexico, and Cuba. And then there are the countless amount legal immigrants coming off the boat every minute. And you bitch about a couple aliens?
There's a difference between Japanese cars and Canadian cars. First of all, Japan has been a kick ass country ever since they got on our good side after WWII. Japanese food is great, they have awsome technology, and they're just plain cool. Plus, foriegn-made goods are always better than American-made goods (except for Canadian-made goods). And yes, my parents own a Toyota. |

IP, let's not forget these are children we're talking to.
They have been brainwashed in thinking it's better to make a war than to prevent one. The greatest warriors are those who act so they do not need to fight. |

Ok, time to make peace with IP. I was thinking of a way to do this for a while. This will only work if IP decides to go along with it. The plan will make both of us probably go out unhappy, but at least we'll be at peace.
We each must make a list of 5 things that suck about our country and 5 things that are good about the other person's country. Once IP agrees, I'll go first, or he can go first. It doesnt matter, but I wont go until he does. Hopefully this will bring total peace between me and the rest of the board. I've already made peace with Tater. |

U.S.A. Positives:
- John Philip Sousa and all those catchy march tunes - The universities (I might be going to one of them someday) - More interesting tourist attractions - Aircraft carriers - Easier to order stuff online Canada Negatives: - Our dollar is worth less than yours - Canadian citizens don't qualify for American game shows - No major league baseball (our two teams don't really count) - Too much French-English disunity - Too economically dependent on the U.S. |

Well-done, guys! You both gave a good effort, though technically I have to take some exception to the redneck statement
Redneck is an example of something that was not originally derogatory, but has become so through common use. But hey, it takes all sorts to make a world, right? |

Well, I dont think the peacemaker thing would work. I dont thinks it'll be long until I cause more trouble at the board. Today, I'm at peace. Tomarrow, nobody knows.
