Ma'am, stop comparing and contrasting yourselves with the US! Look, I know this is a Canadian trait but to most Canadians, the US is a dirty third world nation; has it occurred to you that by comparing yourselves to them, you're sort of telling the world that you are a little bit better than a third world country? Just think of ways to annihilate all of them so that the world can have peace, you and the rest of your fellow Canadians can have peace of mind and I can get Maine. It's a win win for everybody, if you do that!

Yeah, it's the first time I've actually come across someone like her. Anyway, I believe Canada would be greater if it stood up to the US, protected the nations that it harms and eventually destroy it........

Why didn't Canada stop this war?

Seriously Charles? You ban me for asking these kinds of questions but you let these two go with their malicious comments about wanting to tear up your beloved nation?

Because according to your fellow Canadian, lefties are human beings as well, they have human rights and have the right to self determination..... laws that are also guaranteed by right wing dictatorships , I'm sure.

It is the this "liberal democratic" Canada that allows you to say such things.....

Has it occurred to you that maybe, just maybe, this....... "vile", "evil", "corrupt" government that you are complaining about was set up by the US? Heck, for all we know Mr. Justin was installed by the US so that Canada would taken in all the refugees and US doesn't have to do anything? Ever thought of that? I refuse to believe it because so many all over the world want it gone....... what about them? Isn't it unfair to those who it has oppressed that it is allowed to continue to exists? Isn't it unfair to people like miss Zeitgeist who want a better future but the US keeps getting in the way? Isn't it unfair to people such as myself who want a piece of it?

Yeah you would...... you just haven't experienced the alternative that's why you say that. Anyway can we get back on the topic about destroying the US please, everyone?

Do you even know what a "proto communist asymmetrical dictatorship" is?

Well then he better get his butthole up and do something instead of complaining on some dumb Canadian site...... I fight for what I want which is to one day see the US in ruins so that I can get Maine. I fight the US by telling people to destroy them, people from different continents, mind you. And I believe that one day, I will see that day and I will get Maine and I will be able to build a Singapore like nation in Maine and I will be the happiest person on planet Earth when that happens. By the way, is that you being chocked on your pic?

Well, there is no British YouTube or Canadian Google......

Be careful, you would miss it.

That is why you keep getting into trouble.... you are willing to follows them, often.......... sigh.

Sigh...... yes yes yes, Canadians are better, can we now get back on topic please?

I've asked this before and they said that they are all international sites and no single country owns them therefore it's alright to use them. Some also claimed that although they are headquartered in the US, they are not made by Americans therefore it's alright to use them. Here's another: Why do some people immigrate to the US if they are anti-American? There is a very common, I could say prevailing, sentiment among immigrants in the USA, of America-bashing. The older the age of entry to the US, the more widespread the criticism of the US. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, though. Moving from one’s home country anywhere else involves changes and adjustment. When culture and environment is different, one spontaneously perceives it as bad, a very common mindset throughout the world. After spending some time in America and adjusting to the life and culture there, a change in mindset develops. The immigrant is much more hesitant to openly criticise America in front of Americans (but still feels no restraint while among other immigrants, either his compatriots, or even from other lands). The biggest change happens when immigrant travels to the home country: (s)he is now quite more critical of things at home, which (s)he never noticed before (although this still doesn’t stop them from defending their homeland in America). After a long period of life in America, many immigrants do end up adopting it as their homeland, but remain critical of parts of American culture that they resented before the move. The force of American cultural influence is quite powerful, though. While many immigrants may never completely adopt their new homeland, and while they will remain critical of various aspects of American culture and life, their children, born and schooled on American soil, will invariably grow up to be typical Americans. The environment and its cultural influences will almost always be far stronger than what parents can do at home. Between the school, the playground, the TV and the internet, the second generation immigrant will almost universally be a typical American. One thing also needs to be said. There are immigrants who come to America with only one main purpose: to earn more money in order to send back home, and once they build enough for retirement, to return to their homeland and live comfortably on the American pension. Some of those may be very much anti-American. They may have children, but many of them send their American-born children to live with grandparents in their homeland (in order to avoid the inevitable American cultural assimilation). I know of several such cases: educated couples (from West Africa), strongly religious, fiercely anti-American, living in the US, with kids growing up overseas, putting money away, sending money to their homeland, counting years until retirement. From the American (patriotic) perspective, this is probably the kind of immigration that they would most likely want to stop.

Canada is part of the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth will always be there for Canada. Did Canadians hurt you?

Don't say that otherwise bcsapper might get angry with you. He's from there, you know. And I don't believe that. Europe and Canada are my only hope.

What's wrong with you? Are you Canadian by the way? If Canada chooses to side with Russia or China or Europe or whoever, that is their right. Canada is a sovereign nation, don't you forget that, ma'am.

Then stop responding to me! If you don't care why keep responding? Gosh this is getting tedious:

I'm not saying it's going to be easy to defeat you and I'm not saying that it is a 100 assurance that if every single nation on Earth, including Somalia united against you, you would most certainly lose....... I'm just saying....... try. But hey, according to Quora, all it takes is China and Russia and two weeks and their air force would flying over the skies of Manhattan......hmmmm? But according to Canadians and Europeans you have failed and only they have succeed in doing so.

I'm not Canadian, so I'm not going to die for it but I do believe that majority of Canadians such as miss Zeitgeist would. The Canadian people are worth dying for and I don't believe Canadians are cowards, they just lack...... determination. They have built a prosperous nation and integrated many people and many cultures from all over the world into one country that have been able to live in harmony for many years now and continue to make Canada great.

Ma'am, don't be like that please. Many Canadians value their independence and right to self determination. But of course Canadians have to fight for it and if blood needs to be shed, then so be it.

Again ma'am, what is Canada doing about it? That's something serious right there, if they succeed, you lose your right to self determination, you know that right?

Never realized that the British were such a hateful people even to their fellow whites...... makes me wonder why they bothered to save you in WW2 and remain allies with you........ tttttt. Anti-Americanism 'feels like racism' "The former model moved to London a year ago, where she is setting up her own business, and has been surprised at how some people have reacted to her nationality. Ms Cox, 29, says she has been called, among other things, "terrorist", "scum", "low life", and feels that she is constantly being held to account for the actions of President Bush and for US foreign policy. This is despite the fact that she doesn't agree with the war in Iraq and didn't vote for Bush." She has travelled widely in other parts of Europe, Mexico, Canada and Australia but says this is the first time her pride in her country has been challenged in such a vitriolic way. "People would make jokes about Americans but I didn't experience the pure hatred I have had since I came to live here. "I appreciate that British people often don't understand why I have so much pride, they think it's brainwashing. "And I do think some people in the US need to be more educated about what's going on in the world. "But some people just fly off the handle without even talking to me - it's as if they had been waiting to run into an American all day to let their feelings out," she says. But in one incident an older man asked her directly if she was American. "When I said yes he said: 'I just want you to know that I think you are the poorest people I have ever met in my life' - meaning we were low-life. "I said I was sorry he felt that way, but that I disagreed." The man started shouting obscenities at her group. The row developed into a brawl and Ms Cox suffered a black eye as she tried to pull two people apart. "After that I cried for two days, then booked a flight back to the States. I felt so hated, I needed to be with people who loved me." Some friends now advise her to tell people she is Canadian, to deflect potential abuse, an option she calls "sad".

If you suspect your 'Canadian' is actually American, ask them to name three provinces (excluding Ontario). Or ask them what the capital of Saskatchewan is. You'll soon know. (We don't like the either, by the way.)Jim Connolly, Toronto, Canada I feel no pity for Americans working abroad - they get to see first hand what their foreign policies are doing to the rest of the world.Ian Anderson, Aberdeen, UK I'm an American living in Belgium and it shocks me to see that Americans probably receive more "racist" comments in Europe than the immigrants we so often read are being discriminated against. My grandfather fought here in WWII and sometimes I think of the irony that it is their freedom he secured than makes me feel so insecure in Europe.Charles, Brussels, Belgium I am married to a British national and did a posting with the Canadian High Commission in London from 2000-2004. I suffered verbal abuse on a few occasions when people thought I was American. It got to the point where my husband asked that we not talk on the Tube into London and I wore a Canadian Maple Leaf lapel pin. Pam Saunders, Singapore Cry me a river. How much American tolerance and openness do Iranian visitors to the US experience these days? We can't pick and choose the aspects of our national image we want to be identified with. This extreme form of individualism - 'I'm only responsible for what I myself did, not what my government does in my name' - is precisely the sort of thing which gives Americans such a bad name.Scott, Stirling, UK http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk/4881474.stm

When the time comes, they would be dealt with as well. You can deal with Kanye West now if you want to while he is not as powerful as Xi Jinping.
