I'm sure that's the way that it plays in your head - unfortunately your imagination is far from reality.
You never retracted your statement. I asked you to clarify and you neglected to comment or clarify your hypocritical statement.
Let me spoonfeed you ala Charles:
You: "Oh, and as for what's best for us, we'll worry about that."
Me: "Too bad, I gave you some advice. Alternatively, I suggest that you follow your own advice and no longer post opinions on what the US should do in many of the situations discussed on these forums. Of course you won't or would cry if I simply said 'Oh, and as for what's best for us, we'll worry about that.'"
You: "Umm, you wern't suggesting policy for my country, which I do for yours. You were suggesting policy for your own country. I probably wouldn't suggest a trade policy for my country based on your county's interest, I don't know why you would do that for yours. " - Completely missing the point.
Me: "I specifically mentioned that a diversification of trading partners would be good for Canada and you responded with:
quote:
Oh, and as for what's best for us, we'll worry about that.
Please explain such a comment and why you do not follow such behavior in regards to yourself. This is an inherent problem I find in many Canadians - they love to comment up on the US, but an American commenting on Canada is forbidden."
Then you fled, yet remarkably replied to other people in the thread.
How manly of you! Your e-biceps must be bulging in pride!

You know if take better care of your records, they won't skip as much.
Thanks for 'reminding me' because "primarily based upon an inferiority complex" is just so relevent, and adds so much to your argument, and you've done such a fine job of establishing the veracity of your claim.
Either offer something of substance, or get the fvck out of the thread you've so effectively trashed.
If you took better care of your books, you would actually be able to read a thread.
If you wish to ignore the primary reason I do not wish the world to become like Canada, then so be it.
It was effectively trashed when you refused to allow anyone to hold their own opinion, Charles. Not to mention that it was additionally trashed when you asked a completely unrelated and offensive question. Congratulations, Charles.
Umm. ..ok, I misremembered. I edited that post, the original version was closer to my memory. I guess I decided to follow the more common tone of the forum.
And you were suggesting that the US distance itself from Canada, not the other way around. Than means that it is a US policy, the most concrete reason for which was that it would be good for us. And thus my response was relevant. Since you response was a non-sequitor, I think I was just too lazy to point out your inconsistency.
And this is still an irrelevant ad hominem attack.
Why are you pulling out quotes designed to attack your opponents, instead of just justifying your argument?
Pvssy.
Edit: Clarity
Sure you did. You're welcome for the refreshing of your memory.
Sure, use the forum tone as some sort of excuse to try not to deflate your e-biceps.
No, your response was not relevant. I was suggesting policy for both the US and Canada that would be beneficial to both. It is quite clear. Under no circumstances was your manly response of "Oh, and as for what's best for us, we'll worry about that" warranted or justified. There is no situation where such a comment is valid.
I'm not sure if you're intentionally being hypocritical or not. Given your history as I have displayed, I'm going to guess that you are actually serious.
As if you are seeking any justification of any argument? I was trying to justify my arguments until the Canadian mafia came along. If you wish to actually debate the notion that the entire world should not be like Canada within 100 years, then you may.

Ahh.. when I went back to the OP, and asked you to comment on the actual topic?
You know you could still do that, if you weren't so obsessively anti-Canadian (is it really Canada you hate so much, or is that just your favorite political target?).
I can read what you claim, but you have in no way established that the mental illness/inferiority complex even exists, let alone that it is an important factor in Canada.
We actually agree that the world shouldn't try to model itself after one nation (try telling your president that
). But you refuse to offer anything excet hyperbole about mental illness to support your hatred of Canada, and you intentionally over-interpretted the original post by Anita so that you could go on tilt. I don't care if you don't like Canada; you're free to do just that. But if you want to make strong statements about anything and then call other people idiots for disagreeing with you, then you simply need to do better with the support and argumentation side of things.
You can have your pet attacks; you love to claim that I didn't read the thread, you love to trot out sandorski's little foray into hyperbole (IMO less blatant, and far less consistent than your own), you like to call Stunt a rabid nationalist (ironic, he's the most American-minded of the Canadians in this thread, at any rate); it's all very clever.
Oh, and of course every sentence in a post for me should include my not-name, Charlie, because otherwise I might not be able to keep up.
How very clever.
And I did - I said that Canada is one of the least racist countries in the world.
I already did and praised Canada in that regard. One that is 'obsessively anti-Canadian' would not praise Canada.
Sigh. Read the thread.
You are welcome to hold that opinion, although I vehemently disagree with any denial of a widespread inferiority complex within a large portion fo the Canadian population.
Thankfully we can agree on that one point. Yes, it would be great if Bush could comprehend such a notion.
I did not intentionally over-interpret anything - If I am incorrect on her post then so be it - it happens quite often in the context of a discussion forum.
I don't hate Canada - just the rabid patriotic Canadians that make ridiculous comments. As I often admit, I can be very acerbic and flawed in my responses when met with such ridiculous statements from these people.
Yes, you can have your pet attacks as well, which started from your first post addressed to me, which included what would be a rude and offensive question. I honestly do not care too much for such trivial matters in a personal sense.
Yes, I used to call Stunt a rabid nationalist. This stems from the days when he would be hypocritical regarding Canada's supposed activities and commitments, reciting a UN report in a thread about the Olympic Games, and so on. However, he has much improved and I actually agree with him on many political and social issues. He may say something ridiculous (IMO) every once in a while, but he is not anywhere near the level of Sandorski and others of his ilk. Sandorski's declaration of Canada forming a moral authority with others is clearly ridiculous and quite humorous.
Why thank you, Charles.
Umm. . .I am asking you to once and for all to justify your anti-Canadian statements. Since it is upon this that your argument re: the OP rests, it is within the boundaries of the topic.
Describe to me what behaviours a national inferiority complex would predict, show me evidence that Canadians demonstrate these behaviours more than those of other countrymen, and then show me that the consequences of this pathology outwiegh the benefits of a culture of tolerance.
Or do you realize that you can't do this?
Pvssy. <----Yeah, I realize that that is hypocritical, but it's fun. And my argument isn't based around the fact that you are a pussy. It can stand on its own.
Stupid Pvssy.

Oh!!! The pot question!!
See though, it's not so hard to realize that you've made a mistake; and if I misinterpreted the extent of your response to Anita, then I made a mistake, too.
I really would like to see some evidence of this inferiority complex though; it's a pretty strong theory to hold without significant empirical support. It almost borders on religion, or, perhaps, nationalism

Interesting. I am not going to provide a dissertation on my own observations and theories. As I have said before, this is my own opinion. I am sure that you can find multiple other opinions with a simple search.
No, I think that it is in your very nature to be hypocritical, as I have shown.

Yes, it is a pretty strong theory. However, I feel that such a theory would be almost impossible to prove at this point. As of now it is merely my opinion.
However, do not be too offended with my declaring a large portion of the Canadian population to be afflicted with an inferiority complex. I have often said in conjunction with the previous statement that a large portion of the United States population has a superiority complex.
So, you are coming onto the boards with a controversial opinion, one that leads you to call an entire country vile, and you don't want to back it up. At all.
And you expect others to listen to it? Or do you just come on here to give yourself some kind of masturbatory pleasure by reading your own posts?
Pussy.
Edit: Oh, look, it's not filtered. haha. Stupid Pussy.

The evidence is everywhere!
The Great White Waste of Time

Yikes, even Ottawa admits it. I like the American Idol ads on the CTV website. Come up with your own shows, eh.
Canada is so tolerant, she rolls out the welcome mat for terrorists!

Canada is one of the main terrorist hideouts in the West. It's mainly due its weak security and lack of concern for the matter. Terrorists operate at will in some of the cities in Canada.
Remember, terrorists *hide* among their own. They prefer large cities so they could blend in and not stick out like sore thumbs. If they moved into the generally white neighborhoods, they'll encounter more suspicious glares than in the city. Canada is contributing greatly to recruitment and funding of Islamic terrorists. For many years, Hezbollah and other groups have used Canada to raise money. Canada's extreme liberal immigration policies is what is the main worry here. The so-called Holy Land foundation has raised a lot of money that goes directly to the terrorists.
Terrorists from all over the world operate in Canada. Did you miss the recent news? The suspects in the bombing of Air-India, which killed more than 300 people in 1985, were aquitted. The families of those who perished are furious that the men were not punished. This was the worst terrorist attack in the world prior to 9/11.
We were very fortunate to nab Ahmed Rassam on New Years in 2000, otherwise that would have been a great tragedy in this country's history. He is the person who is linked with a Algerian terrorist group as well as al-qaeda. Al-qaeda, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah all operate out of Canada.
Canada needs to wake up to the fact that it is harboring terrorists and something needs to be done.
This is one of the better commentaries I've read recently. Text
Thanks dmens
I do not find my opinion to really be that controversial. It is actually a theory accepted by many people. Thanks to dmens for the links. You can do a quick search to find thousands of references to such a complex within many Canadians.
I do not expect anything from anyone - I am merely here to state my own views, which I find to be very common and accepted. If you choose not to listen, then I find that an acceptable solution for your patriotism. Some will listen and some will not - such is the atmosphere of a discussion forum.
By the way, it is quite humorous that you were censoring your insult when you judge the context your insult was placed in. Bravo.
Sure, but then again the Brits copy American TV far more than vice versa. Still, the Brits are better off than the Canadians in that aspect.
AMERICA :roll:
Why must you state something SO OBVIOUS? No doubt America has a lot of terrorists within and we must hunt them down. But denying the fact that Canada is a haven for terrorists is like sticking your head in the sand. Refute anything that I have posted INSTEAD of your typical ignoring the topic and blind America bashing.
Read these comprehensive reports by CSIS (Canada Security Intelligence Service).

"Why do you continue to feed a disastrous healthcare system?" "It's non-American."

When your entire national identity is defined by opposition to your next-door neighbor, that is an inferiority complex.

Ohhhh I know this one. Hamburg, Germany? :shocked:
What point were you trying to make? Every country in the world underestimated the islamofascists before 9/11. Sadly, even after 9/11, Canada and many europeon countries still pretend the threat doesn't exist.
