Canadians Apologize

[SilentCacophony]

Just got this funny e-mail, which is soon to become another political debate. Why? Because people apparantly don't like political jokes here, but I like posting them anyways.

A truly Canadian Apology to the USA

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.

I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice.

I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we feel your pain.

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you want to have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons. And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

Thank you.

:rofl:

I got to the part where it was talking about wood and I just don't see how Canadian wood is better than American. They're just pissed off because we stopped giving them money. :p

[Hamma]

Not another Canuk vs American thread. :mad:

[Squeeky]

Dont let this get out of hand guys, Be civil
:love:

[Pilgrim]

What's to get out of hand about? that's just funny!

Mad Love to my northern frosty brothers and sisters!

Heheheh...That one's good

The British burned down the White House in 1812, but the Canadians are too fucking stupid to know it.

[Navaron]

LOL, I was wondering who would bite on that.

I was woundering when Dane would step in and say that. I remember this arguement at the CDL site a few months ago.

[Unregistered]

No it was at this site.

Makes you wonder about this education system they claim is better then ours. Not a single god damn Canadian knows anything about the War of 1812, yet they all bring it up like it was there one (200 year old) shining moment of glory.

Go back to you moose humping fantasy world silly Canuk, your not funny.

[Squeeky]

Its already turned to a flamefest *sigh* :rolleyes:

[Navaron]

Like that wasn't the point of this thread in the first place.

[Sputty]

Yep, pretty damn annoying. Yes, we do know about 1812 BTW.

[Sigurd]

lol, poor Canadians, all our exported liberals go there, i feel your pain Canada..

To the rest of you, "Mad Love to my southern toasty brothers and sisters!" :D

[xuur]

*yawn*


I'll pass. thanks anyway


:zzz:

[Bighoss]

I think its our turn to apologize to canada but I would like to congradulate you guys on finally winning in the olympics after all that bitching you earned it !!! no one can complain like a canadian:D

I'm sorry your country you can only use about a third of your land.
I'm sorry you could never set up a great country like us:( that one I'm espically sorry for:D (It seems that our president is driving it into a brick wall though:D)
I'm sorry for the select few that say aboot, jorb, and eh.
I'm sorry that you don't have any beach's of your own so you must immagrate to cape cod and bring the plague with you.
I'm sorry your country has never been viewed are heroic
I'm sorry you got your ass's kicked in the french and Indian war.


and... if your really really want to take credit for the war of 1812 I'm sorry that in the battle of New Orleans you had 3000 casulites and we had about 12:( The funny thing is though is that your communication was too slow and retarded to realize that the war had been over for a few weeks:(

[Navaron]

I NEVER thought I would laugh at anything hoss ever said, but this made me lol


"I'm sorry that in the battle of New Orleans you had 3000 casulites and we had about 12 "

Sorry. I still love Dio.

[�io]

Non MLWA love right?

:p

Oh and Hoss is right about one thing.
"I'm sorry for the select few that say aboot, jorb, and eh."

/me hates those people

[Bighoss]

as in laughing because i might have said something stupid or because its funny and true:confused:

[Sputty]

Come on, the American invasion was stopped by a far "inferior" force by mainly militia-like forces and some natives. 1812 was a useless war for both sides but the US didn't achieve their objective even though manifest destiny existed until the early 1900s(I think it may still exist..heheh)

[Bighoss]

I just checked I had those numbers off it was 2000 casulites for Brits and 73 for Americans... that's still really really really pathetic

[Denali]

Remain civil? Oh ok. Being made fun of by Canadians is always a good time. Remaining civil....oh screw it. I hate Canada, I hope it falls in the ocean, leaving nothing but hot french-canadian chicks, Vince Carter, some Eskimos, and Dio. Screw Canada.

Love

Denali

[�io]

Hmmmm... your plans sounds interesting Denali, you have my permission to set forth this brilliant plan in which i will have many hot chicks all to myself and be the leader of New Canada.

:thumbsup:

[Arshune]

Bleh, I need to buy a keyboard with accents on it.

[Moloch]

You guys do know how the founding fathers of Canada picked the name right? They pulled letters out of a scrabble bag, and read them out loud, and they were recorded by a secretary
C eh, N eh, D eh
:D

We accept you appology over beating us in Hockey and I feel it is my duty to appologise for the US beating you in every other sport known to man. (Except for curling. You Canadians make much better sweepers then the people in the US)

Canadian beer blows (i don't know where Canadians got the idea that their beer was good). I'll take just about any American micro over a Canadian Import.

[Sputty]

It's ok, You cna admit you're jealous. I won't hold it against you at all. BTW, CDN owns. No way around that.

[Confectrix]

Dio:

Here's my potshot attempt at French. Let me know if it is any good. I haven't taken French in years.

Le Fran�ais est une langue tr�s belle seulement si on sait la prononcer correctement. Est alors est non seulement visuellement beau; mais satisfaisant aux oreilles.

:p

:p

1st sentence is fine, 2nd one i assume you meant "C'est alors non seul..." :)

[Confectrix]

Blah.

I'm more versed in Latin and German. Both are needed for higher level degrees in philosophy.

With time; I could get better.

But I'm not motivated enough.

Figures.

[�io]

Meh, other than english you don't need any language. I like french a lot though cause it's a very poetic/romantic language. I took a Japanese course and would like to take more, i'd like to learn it(anime/video game fan :D).

[Confectrix]

In today's world; yes, all you need is English. For academic purposes [like my doctorate] I need German, Latin.

Crazy I know.

I can read any major work in English even if it was published 300 years ago in German.

[Confectrix]

Some feel that the original language give the most precise expression of thought of the author.

Such things cannot be transposed by a translator.

I take it they are right.

[�io]

Yeah the original work is usually better be it a movie, book,etc

[Denali]

Plus you never know if the translator wasn't reading enough into certain things. And Arshune? 2 Ps in apprendre :D

Why do we learn French? Easier to communicate with our slaves when we take it over! Fetch my shoes, Jacques!

[Moloch]

bahahhahahahaha
mmm, french slave wenches.

[Derfud]

bein la, les Canadiens ont de le "medicare", ca veut dire que nous ne devons pas vendre nos maisons chaque fois qu'on visit la dentiste...

[�io]

:lol:

[Bighoss]

lol I know some french...J'ai une grande �rection et je vous tuerai maintenant tout avec un couteau

[�io]

:huh:

Ummm....yeah...

/me slowly backs away from horny killer

[SilentCacophony]

lol, was I right or was I right when I said this was going to turn into another long ass debate? I like everyone making fun of the french canadians as if they're french. Last I heard, people in France hate french Canadians. I guess they see them as wanna-bes. Je ne sais puis pas parlais francais.

As for all the stuff about 1812 being the british, Canada was founded in 1867, so technically it WAS the british. Canada was founded by the people who were fighting though, so it also WAS Canada. So saying it was britain fighting is like saying the British fought the British in the American revolution because the States hadn't truly gotten their independence until they beat Britain.

[KoldFusion]

Wow deep stuff silent. Pretty good point :)

[mikkyT]

I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

Nope, the analogy does not fit.

If you were to pinpoint when the entinty that is the USA came about you would probably pick the declaration of independance(July 4th, 1776), not the Treaty of paris (September 3rd 1783).

There is a reason why we celebrate July 4th as independance day and not September 3rd.

[Moloch]

except hitler didn't have nukes. And didn't have the means for a really devastating bio/chem attack. And we were isolationist at the time. so thats irrelevent. What we do know is that Saddam DID have weapons in the gulf war, we told him to destroy them, waited 12 years, came back, and he hasn't proven that he has destroyed them like he was ordered. With his near unlimited oil money, he can dig holes as deep in the sand as he needs to hide what he wants. Also, the reporters going in and hearing iraqi's say they love saddam is bullshit. If they said the contrary, they get their ears cut off. The iraqis who have left the country say they want him out, and fast.
Now why did I start that? must be the "Curse of the Lounge"

No offense to any Canadians here, but Canada is basically just a bigger, colder America. Seriously, we don't even have a different cultural background and we still bicker like an old married couple. Beer tastes like beer no matter where you get it from...

[Arthell]

Yep, Canadas culture turned into American culture so theres no real difference between the two, aside from Canada being a official bi-lingual (sp?) country. (Of course, thats enforced different in different provinces, etc.)

As for 'aboot' im guessing that came from Canadians smuggling in (bootlegging) alcohol into the US when alcohol was legal in Canada and still illegal in the US. Mucho money. :D The only time ive heard someone say 'aboot' is when people are trying to make fun of Canadians. :p

[Unregistered]

Aboot is how they pronounce About. It's making fun of the accent. Some people in the U.S. sound that way too.

[SilentCacophony]

I've NEVER heard a Canadian pronounce it "aboot". Don't try saying cause I'm a canuck I just don't realize it. Maybe I should go talk to some newfoundlanders, they might say it like that. They talk real funny (lord be tundering jesus). Canadians do say "eh?" though. I like it. Americans say "huh?" and that just makes you sound dumb. Not to mention the southerners saying "y'all." Like a texan asked me "y'all from Canada?" when there was just me.

[Bighoss]

okay obivously you've never met a hot southern girl.

[Sputty]

SilentCacophony ripped that joke off from a comedian..heheh...Hotz I think...

[Fire_Monkey]

:lol: Arshune is right of course. Ya damn old decrepit arguing couple. Shut up both of you.:D ;) And I have yet to hear that American beer is better than German beer.

[�io]

Me either ? Know one that always wanted to visit Quebec? :brow:

:D

As for the Canadian accent thing i've yet to hear someone actually say Aboot, and only 2-3 people say "eh?" often, it's just a common misconception. (that or Quebec doesn't speak english like the rest of canada :))

[Moloch]

they start iut hot, but go into middle age fat. read it in a comedian's book :D
hey, smiley with a mustahce :-)D

[Arshune]

Actually, I say "eh" a lot...try doing it for a day, you'd be surprised how fast it creeps into your speech pattern. I don't sound goofy like the canucks in movies/TV though...
