Jokes are funnier with facts. Sorry you had to make things up. Anyways it'll be more fun for me to debunk. Please take no offense Quote: Quote: 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 that's the only export you have. I am sorry we use you for cheap labor in making our cars that WE design. Then we sell them back to you triple what you built them for. (you get paid HALF of what US citizens make )And no, Japan is our biggest importer. http://www.canadianembassy.org/trade/wltr-en.asp - in summary, it's not japan. In 2000, U.S. transactions with Canada reached $489 billion, 52% more than its exchange with Japan and 62% more than its trade with the United Kingdom. Another big misconception. Oh well, I'm sorry you have no idea where your own US$ is going to. You can probably blame your education system and media for lack of information. They're the easiest targets. You should really understand that America is the 11th province and Canada is the 51st state. Quote: Quote: 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 won 62 other medals compared to your 2, Hockey wasnt THAT bigga deal, but The Mackenzie brothers know no other sports, except cheap beer chugging and hockey Holy, is your math off today. Salt Lake city Gold Silver Bronze US 10 14 11 = 35 Can 6 3 8 = 17 Well based on population, Canada kicked booty as the US has a talent pool that is 9 times larger to draw from. You're probably thinking now, as most american's would: "That's because you guys are all living in igloo's" Well some of us are, but the lack of Big Mac's and Whoppers in our diet has prepared us for the summer olympics too. Sydney G S B US 40 24 33 = 97 Can 3 3 8 = 14 We're still pretty good as you guys have 9x the population but only 6.9 times the medal. Quote: Quote: 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 you dont have a government, nor a population for that matter, I am sorry that Mexico City has more people than youre entire Country. I am sorry that when you decided to start a country that no one showed up. err good one, some more make believe? Bad attempt at humour. Leave the funny to mike myers and jim carrey. Listen to Homer - "It's funny because it's true" Quote: Quote: I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side. I realise it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons. Yes, I truly am sorry that Hussein tortures and mutilates his own people, that they CANT be liberated, and I am sorry that he takes his own army, if they dont do what he says, he grinds up their feet in an industrial paper shredder, records their screaming, then plays it back and laughs, then tells his commanders that's them if they dont do as he says. I am sorry Hussein, hangs his people just because they wave at the US military as they walk by. I am sorry that he gives his people acid in their water, if he doesnt lget enough extortion money from a city in his country. I am sorry that Hussein takes 40% off the top of any aid ANYONE tries to give his country, and starves his people. I am sorry he uses chemical and biological weapons on his little peasant settlements to disfigure them, just to see if his faulty weapons work. I am sorry that in High School Udey Hussein brought a tiger to school and had it mutilate 14 classmates(he sicked it on them) , just because it was "pet day". At least this part is true. But you have to round our your picture to the other attempts at regime change by the US. Then summarise with the number of people America has killed. Capped off with some big red markers showing what governements, the US has let commit genocide on milliions of people. As I agree with your last point here, I just need to round our your views. Governments whom US has given $$, to fight for 'freedom': Taliban in Afghanistan Shah of Iran Saddam of you know where IRA, damn straight it's the Irish in america who gave some $$ to cause some terrorist acts. pinchot of chile manuel noriega of panama Countries where America does killing good: Vietnam Cambodia Finally countries that have commited many times worse genocide: Rwanda bosnia Funny, laugh, har har. These are all things you can leave out when put your blinders on and go after that mean ol Saddam. A country that hasn't sparked the interest it deserves in comparison to the other atrocities in the past. Coming for a country that believes in 99.999999999% of what america does, I'm glad we only disagree on this issue, because it's the least important one. Freedom to be funny being one of the most. If you want to drag this one disagreement into other issues, then please go ahead. Your threats about divesting US money with canada, is many times less important to us than the morale truth. (In case you missed my point, Saddam needs to be in prison/dead. We tend to feel money is why the US is attacking because more severe atrocities have occured in other countries. The largest difference is oil here.) Oh yeah, your Minster of Foreign relations with Canada said that canada is actually contributing more to the war on iraq than most of your coalition. eg. Vessels in the water ways and soldiers on exhange with the US. http://www.cbc.ca/news/iraq/documents/cellucci030325.html Points: - In fact, for 38 of the 50 states the number one foreign trading partner is Canada. - We get more oil from Canada than any country. - In fact, on September 11, 2001, a little known fact, is that it was General Findley, a Canadian general, who was in the chair. - So we are disappointed that some of our closest allies, including Canada, have not agreed with us on the urgent need for this military action against Iraq. That last one i had to put to balance the picture. We are also dissappointed that US is at war. Oh well tit for tat. Quote: Quote: I am sorry that the CBC cannot report the correct news, because the war with Iraq did not start because we bullied our way in, it started because Hussein is torturing people, and we have morals and protect innocent people (including you Canadians). Hussein had 12 years to disarm, you think 15 more days will help (what the UN wanted)? I'm glad we agree on iraq here. But I'm sorry that you don't know about the 800,000 tutsis in Rwanda that died in the 90's. Quote: Quote: On behalf of all US citizens, I am sorry you have no military to even attempt to help the US in IRaq, and that WE protect YOU. I am sorry we ever went into a bound agreement with NORAD, which we built, we maintain, and we defend Entire North America from people like Saddam Hussein. I'm sorry that you still haven't realised we have Canadians who look and talk like americans, embedded in every city in the US. At any point you guys come and piss us off, Mike Myers and Jim Carrey will kick your yankee ass from within your borders. Quote: Quote: I dont see why it's so bad to be there and help men, women, and children who cant help themselves. Grand summary: If you haven't learned from previous wars, vietnam and that little 40 year spat between israel and palestine, you can't take land away from the native people. If a country tried to invade america, Every american would fight to the death. The people in the middle east are fighting for their land until their deaths. Whether you agree on war or no war, everyone understands the fight for survival until death. Suicide bombers do suck, but instead of attacking israel, they will now go after americans. By putting soldiers in the region, It's almost as if they now can attack america directly. The way this would have worked in the past was through annexation and genocide - refer to native americans. If you kill 50,000 Iraqi's in the next little while, aren't you committing a form of genocide? Let's hope saddam dies, and the war is short. US is the 2nd best country b.
