You got some real dumbasses in the US

[Alientank]

I was reading the bestbuysux.com page and it reminded me of when I was in Florida, dealing with complete morons, while on vacation. Here's a few things some americans asked me. Remember, I'm from Canada, London Ontario to be precise, a 2 hour drive from Detroit.

I was asked a lot of questions jokingly, but some of these were asked by people with dead serious looks on their faces. Some were from while we were in the caribbean, others while at disney world. Oh and I told them all where I was from in Canada, and they still asked these questions, as if, when you go over the boarder to Canada, suddenly there's huge differences.

"You guys really got them igloos up thar?"
"Ever had a bear walk into town?"
"Ever had to shoot a bear?"
"Has a bear ever come into town and killed someone"
"Do you guys get warm weather"
"How many states do you guys have?"
"Is it true you can't own assault rifles up there like we can?"
"You guys need someone like bush in Canada running for president" (take note we don't even have presidents)
"Why do you say eh all the time?" (Why can't you speak fluent english, hick)
"Do you guys still have that huge S.A.R.S. plague?" (There never was a "plague" to begin with)

There was some others but I can't remember them all. Now, don't get me wrong, there was a lot of really nice SMART Americans there, and I'm not saying all Americans are dumb, just some of them are unbelievable. Granted, we have a lot of dumbass Canadians in Canada, believe me I've met a few. But some questions, I mean, igloos? How the **** do I know? I've never even see an igloo.

 

[Steve]

As an American (from the South, no less) i will say you are totally correct. We've got some of them thar dumbasses. More than our share, if you ask me.

 

[SpuD]

Some people never get out of their homes, and I'm glad you said not all americans are dumb, I hate gross stereotypes.

But yes, those people are dumb.

Hey man, we got a lot of dipshit canadians up here as well, totally ignorant about the US as well. You're not alone.

 

[Jakeic]

south sucks.

 

[Steve]

south sucks.

oh, HEY! now, that was unnecessary!

 

[Phisionary]

gross generalizations again. MOST of the south sucks...

igloos. hah. that's funny.

some people would probably ask half those question if you were from montana, too.

 

[Steve]

yeah, dude... igloos! jeez! which part of florida were you in?

 

[Alientank]

yeah, dude... igloos! jeez! which part of florida were you in?

We were there in August, late august before the hurricane streak. We were on a cruise for 4 days, then in disney world and NASA after. So around the orlando area, but also the NASA one.

oh, well that explains it. you talked to the people who decided to live near either the biggest theme parks in the world OR near a freakin' rocket launch pad. smart folks either way, heh heh (no offense to ya'll in orlando and cape canaveral)

 

[Tr0n]

south sucks.

**** you!

 

[qckbeam]

Canada....isn't that some sort of communist country or something? Down in the Caribbean? Stupid people, you can’t have igloos in the Caribbean!

 

[Phisionary]

I'm sometimes tempted to make assumptions about the south, I admit. I don't know much about it. You know:

"So, have you had a lynching in your town lately?"
"Everybody down here has drugs, right?" (Miami)
"What grade did you get to, mister? 4th? 5th?"
"Who's your lovely lady here? Your cousin, or sister?"

I doubt those are likely though so I try not to.

 

[Steve]

yeah, get him Tr0n!

 

[Steve]

funny thing is, i've been to the north on a number of occasions...and the impression i get is that a lot of us in the south are actually LESS racist, simply because we've been around minorities more. now that's just my IMPRESSION, i know there's very little or no actual truth to it.

Gotta love stereotypes...No lynchings...ppl do have drugs..not everybody.Nasa was created here...remember?That last one is total bullshit....nasty, but false.

 

[Steve]

no lynchings? oh, come on, Tr0n! you've never hanged a guy just cuz he was black? heh heh! j/k. totally. seriously, i'm just kidding. i love black people. some of my best friends are black. don't kill me. i have 2 kids.

Most people in the US are really stupid. CA has a high concentration of smart ppl though. Silicon valley area mostly.

You've hurt qckbeam ;(

yeah. I get it. I live in a place where an outsider would likely sterotype me. It's... let's say, a particular western state.... commonly associated with a particular religion. Which particularily no longer supports a certain kind of ceremony, between Dick and Jane... and Sue.
I don't get it personally, but my uncle worked in Cali and Oregon, he said people usually assumed he didn't drink, or drink caffeen, and other silly nonsense.

It's a shame. This place (my state) has politics that are close to a polar opposite of mine. Oh well. Not a politics thread. This is a make-fun-of-people-through-inaccurate-sterotype's thread. Right?

[Edit]Wow, this thread moves fast. Added context.

right! Mormons look silly riding those bikes. Or are those Jehova's Witnesses? i can never remember....

 

[Phisionary]

I'm not sure. Probably Jehova's Witnesses. I don't see too many of them. More often missionaries. Then I just stand in front in the window looking out, until they stop knocking on the door...

 

[Steve]

okay, dude, so one time, these Jehova's witnesses came to my door and tried to sell me on the word of god and all that, right? well, i said no because god would take up too much of my computer time, but then i realized one of them was retarded and i felt bad. the end.

 

[Phisionary]

riviting story.



well, your beliefs are your beliefs. I dislike prosthletizers, coming up without being asked trying to sell you their religion? It just doesn't feel good cause you know they are doing it because they are doing it because you are a sinner or a heretic or whatever, and it's their job to 'save' you. I can't really respect that.

 

[Viperidae]

Any of you guys seen Rick Mercer's 'Talking to American's.'?

true that. "Hey, you're wrong. Believe me. Cuz i'm right" screw that. to each his own.

religion is a great thing, when used properly. it's PREACHING that pisses me off.

 

[Phisionary]

religion is a great thing, when used properly.

yes. as a tool of insidious mind control. :|

I kinda wish I was joking, but that's where I see it. NOt completely, but enough so that I think it's valid.

Bah. this is off-topic though. Don't reply to this, ppl. Religion has already been debated to death (so to speak). you can ressurect those threads, I'm sure I've said something that would offend you in one of them too. :E

 

[Jakeic]

well, i'm not speaking about the people in the south, because i don't know that many, and the ones i do know are good people. what i am saying is that the south is run down, the only towns that really impressed me were Atlanta and Miami. Atlanta because it seems like a city that should be further north and miami because i can't believe people actually want to live there.

the places where i've lived and where i come from certainly are kept much nicer, as well as having better education due to high property taxes. i wouldn't want to live there, but that's not saying a whole lot since i don't know where i want to live.

 

[Steve]

you mean WHAT YOU'VE SEEN of the south is run down. i'm sure you haven't seen the ENTIRE south. and name one true urban center where there isn't a run-down part of town?

I'm sorry but the only decent city in the US is San Francisco. I'd say NY was good, but heck, you gotta worry about planes crashing into buildings, or maybe LA, but its way too smoggy there.

[RoyaleWithCheese]

"Ever had a bear walk into town?"

that's not really a stupid question, even I could have asked that one :angel:


wait, er...

 

[Icarus]

Yes, those people are dumb, but I've had people from other countries, including canada ask me dumb questions about California...(Wow, I heard it doesn't ever rain there...)(Have you ever seen snow?)(Do Californians really surf every day?)(Do you know 'insert famous person from hollywood's name here'?)

So

You got some real dumbasses in Canada
