11. Ignorance (common hating reason)


By ignorance you mean how you always think you are better than everyone else and therefore you don't consider the critism you get as valid and always do what you want anyway knowing that noone can stop you? Because if that's what you mean we agree.

Why do you think I'm an American?

I meant Ignorance in that people see two or three TV shows, read a rant or two in a newspaper and meet a couple of obnoxious tourists and then somehow forget that the majority of people in the US are ordinary humans like you or me. The sort of ignorance that leads to people assuming that not only all americans voted for Bush, but that they are directly responsible for each and every one of his actions. The sort of ignorance sees a nation of 300 million people as a single stereotype of what an American is based on what the see in a news round up.

Okay, just wondering what you meant cuz you could have been more specific as there are many different types of ignorance.

19. Not sending me all you monies.
20. Not invading the Czech Republic, liberating the beer & giving it to me.
21. Not knowing what beer is to begin with.
22. Making it known you'd started calling chips "freedom fries". Seriously.. What's wrong with you people?
23. I don't need no fucking reason.
24. But breathing my air's as good a reason as any.
25. Not sending me the skulls of the half million civilians you've gotten killed over the last couple of years. Khorne's starting to bitch about it.

Isn't Canada like, the 51st state? It just likes to pretend it's different when you get loud and embarrassing, and an itchy invasion-starting finger?

Kinda like New Zealand for us?

I've got another one - the litigious culture which has spread to Britain and Ireland.

No, that'd be Australia ;)

I'd have said the UK.

Actually that gives them the 51st, 52nd, 53rd and 54th State all rolled into one.

Then the Canuks make up 55.

And Aussie is 56th.
