IMO we do not need to gang up on anyone
We do not need to tease anyone
We do need to have fun it is Friday.

 

Just remember, Canada boy, that when the turds hit the fan, every country mentioned there (except China) will be on the horn to the USA for assistance. (Read: military protection) I can laugh about our problems and shortcomings, heck, sometimes I rant about them. One other thing, we are the economic engine that runs the world, we go down, everybody else comes with us. American inventions lead the world also, but there is a lot of bad that goes along with the good there.

 

Here is a link to the commercial that started the whole "I Am" thing.

"LET'S BE PERSONAL" Broadcast June 5, 1973 CFRB, Toronto, Ontario

Topic: "The Americans"



The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the world.

As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtse. Well, Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did, that's who.

They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. And I was there. I saw that.

When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.

The Marshall Plan... the Truman Policy... all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. And now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans.

I'd like to see one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.

Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas 10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or a women on the moon?

You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are right here on our streets in Toronto, most of them... unless they are breaking Canadian laws... are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.

When the Americans get out of this bind... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the hell with the rest of the world'. Let someone else buy the bonds, let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both of them are still broke. I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.

Can you name to me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbours have faced it alone and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their noses at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.

I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians. And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.

This year's disasters... with the year less than half-over... has taken it all and nobody... but nobody... has helped.

Not all Canadians are butt heads. Nothing Personal.

 

I did not want to quote the whole thing but i hope you get the point.

THANK YOU.

I certainly hope no one took MY post seriously. I've posted many comments on FTE about Canada and Canadians (but not "Canadian Geese-" let's not go there again), all of them very positive. And that's despite the fact that NOT ONE of you fine folks from the Great White North have ever even CALLED me about buying a new truck! Not that I'm counting or anything...

 

Not all Americans are either, but there are "butt heads" on both sides.
There are however some Americans who <u>hate</u> ANYONE who is NOT American and I don't like that one bit. It is mostly due to lack of knowledge about the rest of the world.
I am a Canadian citizen (permanent American resident) and I have had many encounters with people who know little about Canada, they aren't rude about it they just don't know. Most people could not tell you where Canada is located or very basic information if you were to ask them. Again this is all stuff I have witnessed. I have heard "Canadian" mis-pronounced as "Canada-e-an" and "Canada" mis-pronounced as "Ca-nade-e-ah". Sometimes I cannot help but be completely shocked.

This is not meant to be insulting in the least. I just want people to become more acquainted with your neighbors to the North. Canada has more land than the United States and some people don't even know it's there!

I should tell you the best one I have heard was when a girl told me Canada was a STATE "up north". She got the direction right but she didn't realize it's a separate country.

You SHOULD be proud to be American, I'm becoming a citizen so I can be proud too lol, and I am not raining on anyones parade. I have family (who are Canadian citizens) actively enlisted in the military... how does that hit ya.
I also HATE it when people think Canadians are french speaking people who love France. That couldn't be any further from the truth. There <i>is</i> an exception to that though, and it is a province called 'Quebec'. That's where we Canadians keep all of the French speaking people who like to side with france. Most Canadians don't particularly like them either, as they would loooove to become their own country!

The politics of it are too complicated to get started.
Quebec would love to be adopted by France, but when you look at the logistics of it (france being over-seas and all) it just ain't gonna happen lol. I wish France WOULD adopt them because they tend to give Canadians a bad name.
LOL..........

 

im giving this post a head shake

screw imports anyway

that was a tough pill to swallow
