It's a daily part of life.

But these guys.... wow. They at least deserve an honorable mention.
I thought it was a joke until I read the whole article.... it's real!
Have we now exported our national self loathing and extreme PC
leanings to other nations?

Even WE haven't gotten this far yet.... stay tuned for next year,
though. We wouldn't want anyone to get ahead of us in the "stupid"
category

Ya know... Coming from a Canadian, I
have to think that perhaps some
Americans are victims of bad press.
Including their own.

Robert, your country has its problems,
as all countries do. But it doesn't
suck. Far from it. I"m not about to
defend the US or its policies, some of
which I'm very much against.

The US is the largest and most powerful
democracy in the world, and because of
that it's under some pretty intense
scrutiny. So, when it ****s up, it's big
news. When we **** up, the world yawns.

Although my respect for the US has
diminished in some areas over the last
few years, it's not near the bottom.
Yes, there is room for improvement, but
there are cycles we all go through.

There are a lot of Canadians that love
to hate the US or Americans in general.
I'm not one of them. You have a system
that has prospered for well over 200
years, and I have faith that the system
will right itself.

The only real time you suck is when you
get that lovely bandsaw on Craigslist
for $4 bucks and it's delivered free.
