Here is a light-hearted look at different parts of the world.
Please don't take offense,No offense is intended.




I AM CANADIAN
*************
Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader. And I don't
live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled. I
don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm
certain they're really, really nice.


I have a Prime Minister, not a President. I speak English
and French, not American. I pronounce it 'about', not 'a
boot'.


I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I
believe in peace keeping, not policing; diversity, not
assimilation; and that the beaver is a truly proud and
noble animal. (Amen brother!)


A toque is a hat; a chesterfield is a couch, and it is
pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed', dammit!


Canada is the second largest landmass, the first nation of
hockey, and the best part of North America! My name is Joe,
and I am a Canadian!


I AM ITALIAN
************
Ciao! I'm not a construction worker, a brick layer or a
school janitor. I don't live in a basement, or eat pasta
every night. And I don't drive a Camaro. And I don't know
Tony, Rocco or Gino from Woodbridge, although I'm certain
they're very, very hairy people.


I drink wine, not beer. I don't use utensils for pizza. I
believe in open bars at weddings, not cash. And its pronounced
'espresso', not ex-presso. I can proudly fly my country's
flag out of my car during the world cup. Gelato is ice cream;
biscotti are cookies; Antonio Columbro IS the best of the
tenors; and it's Broo-SKetta, not Broo-SHetta!!


Italy is the only country shaped like footwear; the first
nation of soccer; and the best place in Europe!!


My name is Giuseppe, and I am Italian!



I AM PAKISTANI
**************
Allo, I'm not a cab driver, a 7-11 clerk or a gas attendant.
I don't go to fleamarkets, or worship elephants, or eat with
my hands. And I don't know Akbar, Rampreet or Mohammed from
Rundel, although I'm certain they're very smelly people.


I eat roti, not pita. I don't only shower once a week. I
believe in discounts, not full price. And I pronounce it
'what', not 'vhat'. I can proudly fly my country's flag out
of my car during a terrorist siege.


A turban is an article of clothing. Spicy foods are better
than mild foods. Curry is a very tasty dish, and it is
pronounced Gaun-dee, not Gun-dee, Gaun-dee, dammit!


Pakistan is a third world country; the first nation of cricket;
and the best part of the Middle East! My name is Raheem, and
I am Pakistani!



I AM CHINESE
************
Wai! I'm not a cook, or a computer tech, or the owner of a
laundromat. I don't live with my parents, I don't eat dog.
I don't drive a souped-up Civic. And I don't know Ping, Ching
or Wing from Bedding Heights, although I'm certain they're
very rice, I mean nice people.


I use chopsticks, not a fork. I rarely drive on the sidewalk.
I believe in giving cash, not gifts And I pronounce it 'hello',
not 'harro'. I can proudly wave my country's flag at a tank
during a massacre; dim sum is brunch; Gwai-los are white folk;
Jet Li can kick Van Damme's *** any day. And it is pronounced
'Gon Hay Fa Choi', not 'Gon Hee Fa Choi'.


China is the largest country in Asia; the first nation of ping-
pong; and the best remaining Communist country. My name is
Fung, and I am Chinese!



I AM AMERICAN
*************
Wassup! I'm not particularly intelligent, open-minded, or
well-liked. And I don't live in a safe place, eat a balanced
diet, or drive very well. I don't know Shakespeare, Da Vinci
or Gutenberg, although I'm pretty sure they were American.


I drink beer, not water; I am outspoken, not opinionated; guns
settle disputes, not discussions. Winning isn't everything,
it's the only thing. And it's pronounced 'ruf', not 'roof'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack, unless I
go somewhere. Burger King is fine dining. Washing after
peeing is for losers; Twinkies and Moon Pies are good for
breakfast; I have a shed, not a garage; and WWF action is real!


The United States of America is the only country in the world;
the first nation of ignorance; and the best part of South
America! My name is Jim-Bob, I am married to my sister, and
I am American!

 

OUCH that one will leave a mark

 

OUCH!! where did that come from?? And she's not my sister she's my cousin.

 

I am offended. Granted not everyone is perfect & I can say the same thing about other countries, but I consider myself a better person if I do not.

I know you probally got this in email & thought you would post it. I hope that is not the way you truely think or feel. If it is, I may have some hard feelings about it.

 

Relax......it was supposed to be funny
The "I Am Canadian" part is from a beer commercial.
Someone added the rest.

 

I assumed what your intentions were, but I just took it the wrong way.

That is why I was being nice posting my opinion.

You can see what I'm talking about right?

 

I can assume that not ALL Canadians are this (ahem) "enlightened?"

Or perhaps all that money I spend in Toronto once a year should just remain in this outspoken, ignorant, incestious country of ours.

NOW I know why I bought the new-style F-150 and not a Heritage. Those things are built in CANADA!!

 

all the "quotes" are positive except the one about america......

1. i am an american, we had to fight for our independence.
2.We keep guns to keep our independence.
3.Beer safer to drink than water when visiting "other countries"
4.When your a super power, you make decisions, that others won't.
5.We give more than we recieve.
6.We vote.
7.We support freedom.
8.We have freedom of speech.
9.Free enterprise.
10.Freedom of worship.

racerguy DIDNT WRITE THIS! he just posted it. but if you have EVER traveled outside this country, they don't think very highly of the u.s.a.

 

Funny how we can all make jokes about Canada but not about the US
I guess maybe before anyone else takes this too seriously we should have it removed.

 

My Turn

 

no don't remove it,
lets see how adult everyone can be, thinking outside the box is a good thing.


good one dennis,see guy's ......even our nothern brothers , when they thaw out ....
have a sense of humor....

 

I do not think you should remove it I think it just stung a bit.
The USA has been talking a number of shots from around the world.
I am not saying they are or are no justified.
However, this one seems to have come from our own family.
No harm no foul, I know the way you meant it.
IMO

 

I don't think it should be removed either.

I know that is not the way you yourself truly feel. (I hope)
What stuck me like a thorn was that the only negative thing in that post was about America. If it was worded positively like the others it wouldn't of been a problem with me.
Plus, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Ok, I woke up on the floor this morning so that has a little bit to affect my attitude right now.

 

easy fellas...I'm married to Jim-Bobs sister and just so all you Americans know-most of us here in Saskatchewan(thats Canada)wanna join up.We like beer and a good scrap as much as anybody and we're sick of losin our freedoms to a bunch of pencil pushers that see guns as weapons not tools.Course...thats a whole different argument ain't it!!and besides-like it or not-we're all in this together!!

 

Had an affect on your altitude too…………. sorry from bed to floor…….left that door wide open
