I was just wondering if there were any Canadians among you people. I think I found a few, but not many. So I was just curious as to how many Canadians there actually were here.

Thats too bad, not even the rest of Canada likes Quebec. Im not entirely sure why though. It could be that they are very rude, this I know from personal experience, but im not sure if that could piss of an entire country. But then again, we Canadians dont take kindly to people being assholes round these parts.

Jim from Ontario? yeah, I know him.

I R teh Canadian too, but I hate the fact the people exclude themselves with borders and flags when in the end, it doesnt' really matter. So I'm as proud of being Canadian than of not being American. Wait... that didn't come out right. OMFGLOL!!11

Its true, so our health care isnt really all that "free".

Judge's one post there reminded me of a little fun fact I picked up somewhere. Did you know that it is most Canadian's hate for America that brings them together than anything else? That isnt true for all Canadians, but most of the people I know dont really like America. I personally have no problem with Americans, I just think the American government isnt all that smart at times. Which unfortunately gives the whole country a bad name sometimes. But then again im sure every country has had its moments of stupidity.

See, I was connecting your anecdotal "evidence" to the last statement in what I thought was an amusing & obviously lighthearted manner.

Not the good old English Government, we are as steady as a wall. (a strong wall).

You dont see the English government doing stupid things all of the time... do you  :lol:

But the American Government... Well i am not even going to approach the matter in depth, but i will say, that government is really shit, you guys should form an anarchy or protest, you need to do somthing to rid yourselfs from the blanket of retardedness that is George Bush.

Yeah, so you can't organize anarchy.  By definition, the very act of organizing creates a leader (or leading body).  Creation of a leader (or leading body) negates the possibility of anarchy.

And before we can organize... or... uh... DISorganize, us Anarchists first have to decide what exactly Anarchism is, how it will work, and how it can be achieved. Hell, I can't even decide what kind of Anarchist I am from day to day. Then there's the whole Minarchist thing.

The head fairly spins.
