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.

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.

Haha. Nice, Angrist.

Also to the Prof: All the french Canadians I've met have been pretty awesome and the females wildly attractive. My girlfriend also drove through there and said that the French Canadians she met were by and large pretty good people.

*shrug*

Matter of opinion I suppose.

Then again the french widely and openly hate the Americans, and we're not American, which can be why none of us have ever had problems with them.



So yeah...300...

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.
