So I spent all last week with Americans...

[superqt4u2nv]

and this is what I learned.

They love football.
They drink piss for beer.
They have crappy coffee.
They think the rule the world.
They have funny accents.
They don't know shit about geography.
They think there better then Canadians.

 

[TheProject]

We do rule the world. You just haven't figured it out yet.

 

[broley]

You should stay the night with me and try my coffee the next morning. It's good.
Belive me when I say I know my geography. I'll prove to you. I, an American, know where I'm going and how to get there

 

[Olsen Twins Banger]

We do rule the world. You just haven't figured it out yet.

you think thats why so many countries hate us?

cuz they are jealous of our wealth and power

and the fact that we DO rule the world

 

[milo hobgoblin]

Well, as much as I hate to admit it.. he is right. We basically do rule the world.

It aint gonna last much longer though.. our ruse is up.

But agree on all the other points.. not liking any of them.

 

[bluepeter]

you think thats why so many countries hate us?

cuz they are jealous of our wealth and power

and the fact that we DO rule the world

No, it's because of the arrogance in stating this over and over along with the overriding belief you are better than everyone else

 

[RottenWillow]

and this is what I learned.

They have crappy coffee.

So do you prefer Bucaramanga or Popayan?

 

[Olsen Twins Banger]

Well, as much as I hate to admit it.. he is right. We basically do rule the world.

It aint gonna last much longer though.. our ruse is up.

But agree on all the other points.. not liking any of them.

history has shown that all powerful countries or empires eventually fall

when will the U.S, and how will it fall and to whom, it will eventually but i

dont think it will happen in my life time

 

[superqt4u2nv]

So do you prefer Bucaramanga or Popayan?

I have no clue about that but I know that Starbucks is geigh.

 

[Robert Jan]

you think thats why so many countries hate us?

cuz they are jealous of our wealth and power

and the fact that we DO rule the world

Well sure. but you also have 300 million people.

The USA is a big strong rich sumbitch but every American makes up only 1/300.000.000th of it. Norway only has 5000.000 inhabitants and is a lot richer and more powerful than 50/300 x the USA

So while America is more powerful than any European nation and probably more powerful than Europe, one American isn't necessarily more powerful than one European.

While I live in a little relatively irrelevant country like Holland, I could make a change in this country. It would be much harder for one American to change anything about America

 

[SoreArms]

Except for Eric Gagne, We are better than Canadians

 

[milo hobgoblin]

Its going to happen very soon.. we are in a HUGE trade deficit.. once the oil money dries up (which we use to artificially support our ridiculous trade deficit) we will be screwed. Most oil producing countries want the Euro.. not the dollar and they are slowly putting that into practice.

The only thing that will save us is our near infinite workforce production ablity and natural resources... but the average Ameicans standard of living is going to drop significantly... and so is our place in the world

There is no way in hell we can keep this up much longer.

 

[KillahBee]

and this is what I learned.

They love football.
They drink piss for beer.
They have crappy coffee.
They think the rule the world.
They have funny accents.

Hey, biyatch, I said mostly good things about Canadians in my thread.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Hey, biyatch, I said mostly good things about Canadians in my thread.

Hmm good point...

Best things about Americans is they live in America!

 

[bluepeter]

Except for Eric Gagne, We are better than Canadians

pppffttt

 

[Dougly]

Canucks aren't very original huh?

 

[SoreArms]

Canadians can't even get HBO, what kind of ish is that?

 

[HS Lifter]

[Pamela]

They have funny accents.
They don't know shit about geography.

QT where did you go?

 

[Dial_tone]

All true except all coffee sucks and we are better than Canada.....y'all just have hotter chicks.

 

[bluepeter]

Canucks aren't very original huh?

You're right, Americans are much more original.............

American: We're better than you.
Canadian: But we are consistently ranked higher than you in standard of living.
American: We're better than you.
Canadian: But all of our citizens are properly covered by healthcare.
American: We're better than you.
Canadian: But we are renowned for our diverse citizenry and our tolerance toward those different than us.
American: Uh......where is your country located again?

 

[Dougly]

Right over your head there blueballs.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

QT where did you go?

Vegas

Oh another nice thing about America you have sweethearts like Daisy and Pamela.

 

[WODIN]

You just didn't come to the right part of the country.

 

[TheProject]

Do Canadians even make beer?

 

[bluepeter]

Right over your head there blueballs.

Just fucking with ya bro

 

[bluepeter]

Canadians can't even get HBO, what kind of ish is that?

Uh, yes we can.

 

[SoreArms]

Hey QT, when you went out to breakfast were you surprised that the syrup for your panacakes was readily available in a bottle instead of having to get it out of a maple tree like you're used to?

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Do Canadians even make beer?

Molson Labatt I could go on but I am to lazy.

 

[nvrbuffenuff_girl]

Molson Labatt I could go on but I am to lazy.

Wasn't Molson sold to an American brewer recently? I believe it was sold to Miller.

I guess Molson will turn into American piss water soon.

 

[Lestat]

I love Canada

 

[Olsen Twins Banger]

hey when i went to canada it seemed like the food was below american quality

like grade B meat instead of grade A

is this true?

and how can you stand the metric system?

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Wasn't Molson sold to an American brewer recently? I believe it was sold to Miller.

Oh that is rich I hope not especially since there marketing slogon is "I am Canadian."

 

[TheProject]

Oh that is rich I hope not especially since there marketing slogon is "I am Canadian."

I think Molson is merging with Coors, but I could be mistaken...

 

[SoreArms]

haha, enjoy our piss, eh!

[The Shadow]

and this is what I learned.

They love football.

TRUE
They drink piss for beer.

SOME DO..SOME DONT
They have crappy coffee.

YOU HAVENT TRIED MINE
They think the rule the world.

WE PRETTY MUCH DO
They have funny accents.

HEY POT - THIS IS THE KETTLE - YOURE BLACK
They don't know shit about geography.

TRUE
They think there better then Canadians.

WELL.......

 

[bluepeter]

I think Molson is merging with Coors, but I could be mistaken...

True. It is an equal merger with the current Molson CEO becoming CEO of the merged company.......

 

[superqt4u2nv]

The Shadow I could name all 50 states from east to west or west to east. How about you do you know how many province we have and where they are located?

 

[bluepeter]

hey when i went to canada it seemed like the food was below american quality

like grade B meat instead of grade A

is this true?

and how can you stand the metric system?

lol, nothing but AA and AAA in our grocery stores.

How can you stand the imperial system? It doesn't make mathematical sense and America is the only major developed country still using it

 

[nvrbuffenuff_girl]

I think Molson is merging with Coors, but I could be mistaken...

Yea it was Coors. I couldn't remember so I said Miller.

I wondered how Molson could be sold to an American company. Isn't all alcohol in Canada controlled by the goverment? That would be LCBO or whoever owns Molson. Your goverment must be suffering and in need of money badly if they sold the oldest Canadian beer company to Americans. Either that or the Molsons are sick of making beer.


The one thing that really sucks about Canada is the way alcohol is controlled. At least in Ontario. If the LCBO stores are closed you're fucked. They close early too. So if you decide to get drunk at midnight and are out of booze you're out of luck unless you go to a bar to drink and even then you can only drink until 2 am. Here we can buy alcohol in corner stores, grocery stores, pretty much anywhere, even gas stations and pretty much anytime of day or night in most places.

 

[TheProject]

The Shadow I could name all 50 states from east to west or west to east. How about you do you know how many province we have and where they are located?

That's because America's more important to Canada than Canada is to America!

 

[superqt4u2nv]

That's because America's more important to Canada than Canada is to America!

 

[from zero]

Molson Labatt I could go on but I am to lazy.

Unibroue = Canadian microbrewery.

They make some good fucking beers.

The Shadow I could name all 50 states from east to west or west to east. How about you do you know how many province we have and where they are located?

I could probably nail 75% of them.

 

[TheProject]

The Shadow I could name all 50 states from east to west or west to east. How about you do you know how many province we have and where they are located?

And hold on just a second here, missy...don't you have to sell stuff to us Americans? So isn't knowing the states kind of part of your job?!?

 

[bluepeter]

Molson was not sold to Coors. The 2 companies merged and the current CEO of Molson is on tap to become the CEO of the merged company.

Molson is not government owned.

 

[Razorguns]

Guess what the NUMBER ONE country on the planet that everyone in the world wants to immigrate to??? Hint: It ain't norway or Sweden or Australia.

Yep -- THE US of A bitch!

It's like the world's biggest migration. If you go to any country -- you'll find tons of newspaper ads and signs advertising services to immigrate here. It's like a mega million dollar global business. The "american dream" that exists here, and nowhere else.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

And hold on just a second here, missy...don't you have to sell stuff to us Americans? So isn't knowing the states kind of part of your job?!?

All I have to know is the east coast.

Hard to believe we come from the same home town.

 

[Deterass]

In case you haven't noticed America is the most powerful country in the world.

"power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"

 

[Razorguns]

Hard to believe we come from the same home town.

hehe. People come here to make money and send it back to their families. There isn't that much money in Canada. Even the hospitals are bankrupt. Hence, why they all come to the US. Canada is like a back-up if they can't get in here.

 

[Robert Jan]

and how can you stand the metric system?

This is rather silly. whatever measurement system you are used to you will like. The metric system is a lot more reasonable to anybody who is slightly objective. The empirical system simply sucks for science or any damn calculation for that matter.

 

[bluepeter]

Gotta love the immigration comments from the same person constantly bemoaning immigrants in LA. Has any Canadian on here ever seen an advertisement to immigrate to the US in Canada? lol

What does Canada offer? Godd whiskey, ice skaters and canadian bacon. Man those three things make the world a wonderful place to live.

 

[bluepeter]

What does America offer? Shitty beer, assimilation to the 'American ideal' and ignorance of other places/cultures. Man those three things make the world a wonderful place to live.

You tell 'em brother!

 

[Deterass]

[Deterass]

Oh ..............good one!

 

[Razorguns]

Ask every immigrant or illegal immigrant what brought them to the US -- and you'll get MOUNTAINS of data on why america is so great and why they risked their lives to come here.

There isn't a big business in canada for getting Canadians to move to the US mainly cuz it's not easy for Canadians to do so. Their only option is getting married to an american.

 

[Y_lifter]

Molson is sewage IMO....

I LOL @ you gauging Americans by Las Vegasans

And I personally am one American that has a good grasp of anatomy.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

What does Canada offer? Godd whiskey, ice skaters and canadian bacon. Man those three things make the world a wonderful place to live.

Man this is getting carried away I was making a joke please refer to Killahbee's thread to see the source of my mockery. It is funny that for a nation of people that are so patriotic you can't accept the same from others.

 

[The Shadow]

The Shadow I could name all 50 states from east to west or west to east. How about you do you know how many province we have and where they are located?

My intimidating good-looks must have gotten to ya...I said "True." to your statement about us not know geo.

The metric system is better.


We have it much worse though since we now use both.

Have to have two sets of tools and nuts/bolts etc.


Canada would be cool.....but it is simply toooooooo cool.



America's #1 industry will soon be fines gathered from its citizens. Gotta love that. Already that way in Florida.

 

[beastboy]

"their"

 

[Austin316]

Lol the beer thing is sooo true, you would like what I drink though, NOOO piss poor horse piss beer for me, all domestics are included, microbreweries and imports are the way to go! Oh yea...Ummm Vegas, lol hun I hope you don't go by Vegas to judge most places, you would feel just fine in the northern states, Minnesota for one is basically a hybrid of america and canada without all of canadas outrageous prices for anything and everything, oh and our accents aren't nearly as thick lol

[SoreArms]

mm x 24.5 = inches

 

[beastboy]

LMAO.

It's 25.4....

and it is mm/25.4=in

 

[Deterass]

No Sorearms is right

12" = 304.8 mm

12x25.4

 

[beastboy]

No Sorearms is right

12" = 304.8 mm

12x25.4

No he isn't. Look again at your equation and his.....

 

[SoreArms]

LMAO.

It's 25.4....

and it is mm/25.4=in

oops, it is 25.4 and it is divided

dam Deteras we both got it wrong and we're both in the C&C biz. You must be screwing up some parts. LOL

 

[onerepmaximum]

One question. Do we live in South Canada or North America?

 

[beastboy]

oops, it is 25.4 and it is divided

dam Deteras we both got it wrong and we're both in the C&C biz. You must be screwing up some parts. LOL

C&C?

I work with it daily too.....LOL....family members are amazed that I can do conversions in my head.

 

[SoreArms]

Cnc

 

[beastboy]

Cnc

Cool...what are you running? And are you doing all manual programming or using MasterCam?

 

[Deterass]

Cool...what are you running? And are you doing all manual programming or using MasterCam?

I have been using Mastercam for 10 years now.

 

[beastboy]

I have been using Mastercam for 10 years now.

Do you link it from a design software or do you do the tool paths?

 

[SoreArms]

I work for a CNC manufacturer (we make the machines, controls and write the software). Among other things, I test the software.

work for a cad/cam company?

 

[Dial_tone]

geighest hijack ever

your assvatar makes me want to hijack every thread you reply to.

 

[beastboy]

No....I design tooling for grinding machines....so I only use the software.

 

[Olsen Twins Banger]

geighest hijack ever

true

 

[Deterass]

Do you link it from a design software or do you do the tool paths?

I draw it and run tool paths.

 

[SoreArms]

We have a dxf converter that allows you to laod a dxf file and create a tool path from it. It's simple, no need for expensive cad/cam software or a pricy cad/cam guy like you, Deteras

and this is what I learned.

They love football.
They drink piss for beer.
They have crappy coffee.
They think the rule the world.
They have funny accents.
They don't know shit about geography.
They think there better then Canadians.

Let's see yes I love football.
I prefer Guiness which is definitely not piss
Don't drink coffee
Don't think we rule the world
To us you have the accent
Know probably more that 99% of people about Geography as I used to compete in geography comps for school
Have pretty much liked every Canadian I have ever met. Also I was well treated when I was working in Canada.

What I am saying is "Dollface don't generalize all of us based on a few people you ran into for a couple of days"

Try to take all people one at a time, anyone who generalizes a race or country is a peawit.

Cheers,
Scotsman

[Pamela]

Girl you need to come To the South and spend some time with Me and So Klue!

and this is what I learned.

They love football. Don't hardly ever watch foot ball
They drink piss for beer. Don't drink Beer
They have crappy coffee.Coffee we can find some Good Coffee.
They think the rule the world. No, we dont' rule the world here in the south.
They have funny accents.Now! You may have something here.. We do have very funny accents here.
They don't know shit about geography. We may know how to get to one side of the state to the other..Well maybe...
They think there better then Canadians. We don't ever think that way here in the South.
