I think we are hated because we aren't owned by the UN.
Yup. That's why.

true.. I don't live on a border state, so I only hear about Canadians from the Internet and the media.. And, frankly, that is the same type of unbalance that the rest of the world has with us. They don't understand how Bush could won because defeat was ineluctable( or so it seemed ) because nobody liked him in all of the US they see; AKA the Media.lord dubu said:I love the concept that a lack of hatred recieved somehow indicates goodfullness and niceosity. If no one hates you, it doesn't always mean you're a good person (or in this case a country) it just means not enough people care about you to hate you.
I don't hate Micronesia either, but then I couldn't find it on a map either, and frankly I have no need to.
I second that. Terrorists have a REASON to exist, they don't kill, maim, rape and destroy for sheer pleasure.

Speaks for itself, thank you USA for "allowing" me to exist on the same continent as you.
The xenophoby of this made me wanna puke.

Scoobnfl said:that's exactly what they try and do. They're tongue in cheek and not taken very seriously. The more they say and do things that piss people off the more $$$$$$$ they make. People tune in to watch, listen, and yell at them on TV.
It's hillarious.
Absinthe said:And yet the people that say this are the same ones that throw a fit over Michael Moore. Why am I not surprised?.
Absinthe said:Any way, aside from her just being a bitch, I am concerned by what she promotes (regardless if she's legit or not). She has the right to free speech, so I can grudgingly respect that. But God knows how much she contributes to xenophobia in the United States.

Scoobnfl said:you weren't supposed to. you were one of the ones that it was supposed to piss off. probably because you're in Canada and with Fox just getting on the air up there it was done to get people talking and to watch the show in hopes of being able to see her dumbass to yell at her on the TV.
looks like it worked.
Scoobnfl said:I think Michael Moore sucks, he's a piss poor movie maker, worse even than Goebels. His schtick is old and busted. I do like that there is a cottage industry that has sprung up that makes $$$$ exposing his lies and cleverly edited 1/4 truths.
Not too much xenophobia here in the USA. If there was we wouldn't have all of the Mexicans here that we do.
She is incapable of promoting anything other than herself. Very very few people take her seriously.

Absinthe said:There are other countries that exist aside from Mexico.
Absinthe said:What a ****ing dumbass.
Scoobnfl said:really?
the xenopohobia you are phobic of does not exist. It may have in the past (chinese immigrants in the west late in the 1800's) but not now.
This is exemplified in the fact that a different looking and speaking people are welcomed here as the Mexicans and other central american people are.
Most of the people here in the USA want everyone across the world to enjoy the same freedoms we have here, and we welcome people that come here in hopes of participating in and embracing those freedoms. If you come here to complain about things, leech off of our hospitality and exploit our freedoms for your own idealogical gain then no, we for the most part don't want you here and do not welcome you.
back to personal attacks, I'm shocked. :x

Absinthe said:Did I ever say that the xenophobia was widespread? No, I didn't. But to deny it's existence (no matter its size) is stupid. I think that Anne Coulter contributes to something that I consider dangerous, and when people like her start to get more and more attention, then they find themselves having more power and influence. That's why I dislike her and what she thinks..
Absinthe said:Exploit our freedoms for what ideological gain? Am I not allowed to criticize the system if my humble abode is located on soil belonging to the United States?
Tell me if I'm wrong. Does your line of reasoning go something like this?
"The United States is better and offers more than any third world shit hole you came from, so why are you bitching?"
Because I don't buy it. Even if the United States was a country of better quality than everywhere else, I don't think that should absolve it from its problems.
Absinthe said:Somebody didn't find her amusing, but offensive and ignorant. So you went ahead and assumed that "Oh, if you're angry at her, then you must be some kind of angry Canadian".
May I even ask what Canada has to do with this?
If that wasn't an act of idiocy, then I don't know what is.
