See Marty, Americans do make jokes about Canada and the things they find weird about the country. They also make fun of Canada's military. What they DON'T do is post flamebait threads about Canada in which they ATTACK rather than joke about your country. All it does is allow a few Canada bashers and a few American bashers to turn a thread into a flame war.

If you posted a constructive piece on WHY you think US foreign policy is overreaching or had an article that detailed your views, then a debate could ensue rather than a flamefest. You start these threads with a biased article of a quick quip or even your cartoon today. You don't stick around to give your well thought out opinion or give facts. You throw flamebait out, give it some fuel occasionally and sit back and have a big ole Marty fest over the flamewar you just created.

Why not create a thread that gives your ideas about what the US is doing wrong? Or post a link occasionally that is not inflammatory. I find the cartoon humorous, but I know that your intentions were not to create a humorous thread. You wanted to start a flame war.

BTW missing something? ;)

This thread was meant to be a joke. Some people just don't know how to take a joke.

If I wanted a constructive debate, I wouldn't have posted a pic at all (especially one that came from the simpsons).

It seems it's perfectly acceptable for americans to make lame jokes about Canada's military and such, but heaven forbid a Canadian make fun of Americans! Nooo, these trecherous bastards must be lined up against the wall and shot!

Gimmie a fscking break.

What does a definition of Canada have to do with anything? ;)
