*best segway to a political conversation EVER*

Oh, you're talking about Americans.

You know what? While living in Canada I did notice that Canadians are a bit more thoughtful* than Americans in making their political decisions. In America political discussion has degraded to taubts of "You're a terrorist!" and "Your'e a racist, evil conservative!". Those that honor intellectual honesty and objective discussion need not apply, or you'll be branded a bigot, hatemonger, commie or terrorist-lover.

My politics may not go hand in hand with a lot of Canadians, but at least your leaders seem to be knowledgeable and well read. I think this stems from a Parliamentary form of government that makes you confront other ideas and defend your own with intelligent vigor.



*Well, outside of Quebec they are more thoughtful, but thats a given. Quebecers are inbred jackasses with severe penis envy.

Care to explain that comment?

Well I didn't think I was being all that cryptic, but sure:

Quebecers are so caught up in being Fake French that they tend to interbreed with one another in their own little Fake French universe at the Fake French capital of Montreal. Their gene-pool has become so small and polluted that all of Quebec's combined IQ equals that of Corky from Life Goes On. This is the reason that such idiotic notions like cessession can become common thought. Also, its kind of funny/stupid how they pretend to hate Americans while they consume American culture like an alcoholic throws back a flask of vodka.

Have I crystalized my opinion a little better for you?

Oh wait, Quebec does have one thing going for it: Strip clubs. Super Sex OWNS. You go ride that national strip club pride while you **** your sister.







Wow, I am in a rare mood thi morning.

Like how Americans are caught up in fake English that they tend to interbreed with one another in their own little fake English universe?

Not talking about language, Ty, I'm talking about culture. Quebecers WISH they were French and European. Its not just the language. Americans don't act like the British or wish they were British. Americans love being Americans (in general) and you don't see New York trying to cecede from the union. Relativistic argumnts don't work when you miss the point of the argument.

Besides, I'm not talking about Hockey and Beer Canadians... I'm talking about Baguette and Attitude Canadians in one area of the country. I've stated many times that I loved my stay in the Toronto area. I don't know why you would defend those people who obvious dislike the rest of you enough to want to remove your shared nationality.

The amount of Quebecers who want to seperate is far greater than those who call themselves Canadian.

I dont know where in Quebec you visited, but you must have got a **** draw, because you might have stumbled into one of the only seperatist cities in the province.

And of course they're proud of who they are, and what they are. They're a french speaking province, among an entire continent dedicated to English. They're the one difference about all of North America. I see it as no different as everything else. Culture is what you make of it, not what you take away from it.

Although a lot of New Yorkers don't really consider it to be part of the U.S.

Those two paragraphs seem to contradict each other.

I really, really want to agree with you here, because I think what you're saying is what I think. But please clarify what it is you're saying. Culture is what you make of it, not what you take away from it isn't exactly clear.

The cinematography was quite nice. The picture was incredibly bleak, like Sin City, with the minimalist backdrops, the color choice, and simple sets. Snyder’s style of gore is pretty decent; it splatters and has a certain thickness to it. It’s nice blood. As for the movie itself, it was pretty good. I enjoyed Sin City more when I think about it. But 300 had its moments, and I was rooting for those Spartans till the end. Given the current state of opening movies this weekend, 300 isn’t a bad choice to go see.

Quebec speaks french, but exactly what language are you writing in? Once again, I'm not talking about the language... I'm talking about how Quebecers think they're european and look down on those around them, especially to the south. As for what my test group is, I was in Montreal and I've been there many time. If Quebecers aren't like them, then Quebec needs to replace it.

And yes, they have every right to be proud of who they are, and I have every right to think they're stuck up, inbred, rude and lacking in any sort of redeemable personality traits.

KillerGremlin, please stay on topic, we're talking about Quebec here.
