bush_cheney2004 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 But it wasn't. Everyone has a right to their opinions but no has a right to their own facts. The CBC poll was a fact...a sad, pathetic fact. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
bush_cheney2004 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Cultural assessments are always relative. To say that Americans are conspiracy minded, as a Canadian, is relative to our viewpoint. Doubting authority is a long held American value, just as sniveling compliance is a trait of Canadians. Agreed...that's why the U.S. exists in the first place. The British and Loyalists in Canada were America's founding enemy. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
punked Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I no longer believe that fairy tale....you never post as an American. Just another wannabe..... You will have to tell my vote and my passport that. Sorry buddy boy as American as apple pie. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 You will have to tell my vote and my passport that. Sorry buddy boy as American as apple pie. We can be anything we wish on the Interwebs. Congratulations ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
punked Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 The CBC poll was a fact...a sad, pathetic fact. A poll about what people think and feel is a poll on opinion. A poll on something like "Who is the president of United States" is a poll on fact, no matter if 99% of people answer Romney that doesn't change reality. Sorry maybe next time I will use smaller words so maybe you understand. Quote
punked Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 We can be anything we wish on the Interwebs. Congratulations ! We can which makes you posting from Sask and pretending to be American so weird right? Quote
Michael Hardner Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Agreed...that's why the U.S. exists in the first place. The British and Loyalists in Canada were America's founding enemy. As a Canadian, that makes me feel special to think that we were noticed by America so early on ! I throw my countrymen under the bus, jokingly, to point out the relative relativity of such assessments - often also made in terms of race, religion, etc. ex. People from the west saying that Asians are so industrious and not lazy when... well... yeah... Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner

Guest American Woman Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I no longer believe that fairy tale....you never post as an American. Just another wannabe..... Ditto. All of the "your country" vs. "my country" posts tend to dispel his claim. Quote

What's next...watching American television programming ? Never ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
punked Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Ditto. All of the "your country" vs. "my country" posts tend to dispel his claim. That's fine you can call me a liar fact is I haven't missed casting my ballot in a national election in 10 years. I have done nothing to make you think I am a lair but you don't like that my vote counts as much as yours so you create your own reality. Why not though right you are an American so you are entitled to your own facts. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Ditto. All of the "your country" vs. "my country" posts tend to dispel his claim. Yep....dead giveaway. Real dual citizens are much more diplomatic ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
bush_cheney2004 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 .... Why not though right you are an American so you are entitled to your own facts. You just said we were entitled to our own opinions too. My opinion is that you are not a native born or naturalized American citizen. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
punked Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Yep....dead giveaway. Real dual citizens are much more diplomatic ! Lol keep attack the messenger when you hate the message, keep proving my point that Americans make up their own facts when presented with facts they don't like. This is my point and we have two "Real Americans" here proving. I'll keep voting and hoping my vote starts to matter in big elections and that the culture changes. Until then I am great up here in Canada with half my family. Quote

Why not though right you are an American so you are entitled to your own facts. According to you, you're an American, too - so whatever you say about Americans bounces off of me and sticks to you. But yeah, you have done something to make me doubt your claim - and I clearly stated what that something is. When you refer to the U.S. as our country and Canada as your country, it belies your claim. Quote
punked Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 You just said we were entitled to our own opinions too. My opinion is that you are not a native born or naturalized American citizen. I am not native born we have been through this. My mother is American which entitles me to American citizenship. I have lived in states after my 15th birthday long enough so my children will also be entitled to what I was entitled to. Hope you are ready for more progressive Americans voting in your elections in the future. Sucks to be you. Quote

When you refer to the U.S. as our country and Canada as your country, it belies your claim. The US you live in your country. I vote for gun control, progressive health care and progressive taxes. It hasn't been my America for a number of years. I will keep voting for my America and someday we will get there but the road is long. Again though I get it. You don't like the facts in front of you so you think you are entitled to your own facts. Just like many Americans. That is part of the problem with the country. There is no reflection, there are no facts, everything is spin. Edited January 16, 2013 by punked Quote
