Re: Why do so many Americans make Canada jokes?
[ QUOTE ]
But it seems to me the aggression really started towards Canada when the US National Anthem was booed by Canadians at a few hockey and basketball games. I don't think most Americans really care what foreigners think of our policies, but most of us thought there wasn't much class there, and that it represented hostility not only toward our government, but toward our country in general and everyone that lives in it. [/ QUOTE ] [censored] YEAH!!! [censored] CANADA!!! WOOOOOOO!!!! U!S!A! U!S!A!

Yes, I know. I'm a Bruins fan (don't hate me for that...but we are going to win the division again this year) [/ QUOTE ] I don't hate you... I kind of pity you, actually. No way anyone that's not in Ontario wins the Northeast this year. And by that, I mean Ottawa. Who will fold in the playoffs (again).

Re: Why do so many Americans make Canada jokes?
i basically never hear canada jokes in day to day life
you're on a forum. if it says LOCATION:CANADA people are going to gig you for it. they'd do the same if it said HAIRCOLOR:RED. same reason, which is to say, no reason. it's not a big deal.

No way are that band of stiffs even *making* the playoffs this year. As a result, Ottawa may even have a chance at the cup. And yes, I know, we should take it to Sports.

If it is an insult, it is misplaced, and not very well done.

Like, oh I don't know, maybe a Leafs fan. Don't worry, you'll make it back to the finals eventually. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] We'll see how it shakes out w/ Ottawa. I don't think Hasek can be a force anymore. Mark my words now, the Bruins will win their 3rd NE division title in four seasons this year.

[ QUOTE ] 100% serious. Is it jealousy? rJ [/ QUOTE ] I'd say it's ignorance. [/ QUOTE ] Haha.. Just from reading this post, I knew you were Canadian (before your location confirmed it). The whole US vs Canada thing reminds me of a joke: A Georgia Tech student and an MIT student find themselves sitting next to each other on a plane. The Georgia Tech student turns to the MIT student and says, "You know, at Georgia Tech, we consider ourselves the MIT of the South." The MIT student replies, "That's funny, because at MIT we don't consider Georgia Tech."
