Yeah, because Canadians are so cultured... Some of the parts of Canada I've been to make Deliverance seem like a Canadian documentary. There are more guns per capita in Canada than in the US. We can't help it that all of your professional sports leagues are a joke. Also, just because your idea of fine dining when you come to the US is Chilis doesn't mean you have a right to complain about the beer. We have a wider variety of beer than you do and as I pointed out in another thread, Canadians drink the same crap most Americans do. Best selling beer in Canada is Budweiser.
You're honestly not making a comment about the way we use the English language. Gotta, bear, that IS, huh?

Anyways, even though you started this, I don’t think you’d want to get into a debate of comparing the two countries on such issues like crime, or for that matter healthcare, education, racial tolerance, economic divides…
As for beer, yes our industry has been taken over and lately our consumption is shaped by supply (and promotion). Unfortunately, supply breeds demand, not the other way around in this case, so many more Canadians are drinking shity beer. Still, walk into most Canadian restaurants and you’ll get a beer list as long as your governments transgressions with facts. Most consumers here still demand it. Meanwhile, most restaurants in the States had a tiny selection of lousy American brands, obviously a problem with controlled product distribution. Hence this is where the shity American beer perception lies.

Just checked this thread for the first time in a few days. WTF does any of this have to do with the topic???
Ike, when you and I finally meet and have a few rounds, would you like me to pay for the Budweiser rounds, and you the Guinness?

I also love how other countries think we all live in trailers when we have the highest per-capita income of just about anybody.

Ike dont add wood to the fire.
I'd rather have a free "mediocre" one that is just fine for most things than a great one that most people couldnt afford anyways.
Now thats enough.

Utopia Taco Bell
I'm a Canadian who is now an American... I was born in Toronto but now call New York City my home. Basically I came to make money but I ended up finding my wife here as. Although I love Toronto I plan on rooting my family in New York. Queens is plenty multicultural like Toronto - actually Queens is the most multicultural area in the world with residents speaking approximately 140 different languages. People are friendly once you present yourself well and I have yet to be shot at. However, I will say that people have no problem with bashing your car while parallel parking and leaving no note (okay I've bitched about this for too long). All in all, I'm falling into the ol' cliche of saying "I love New York".
I can go on and on but there are pros and cons to every place. As for living in places like Texas with all those fat people that voted for Bush - I don't know about that..... I mean I pray for that man to make great choices for this world but it's hard to watch him make so many blunders like Wed speech...
Let the political flames fly!

Other countries think that America is a giant living embodiment of the Simpsons cartoons.
... and they would be pretty close to the truth.
America, for all its good and bad points, can be neatly summarised by the Simpsons.
(Oh, and Luxembourg and Norway have higher per capita incomes)

Speaking of Top Gear ...

Top Gear is currently off air - but it'll be back on our screens on January 28 at 8pm on BBC2.
If you find yourself having withdrawal symptoms, though, don't panic...
