I always get a laugh at the impression people from the U.S. have of what Canada is like.
'wow.. it's really cold up there'.. 'do you live in igloos'?

jeez... Canada looks exactly like the U.S. except it's cleaner.



... see ... ooh pretty!

Can't say Ive ever heard anyone say that about Canada, but that could be because I live about and hour and a half away from it.... Wouldnt put it past some people though.

Similar to what they do to people in cults... they're training you to do as you're told and getting you in the mindset that they are the ones in charge and you're all working for the greater good.

man... where did that come from...

That reminds me of what happened on my trip to LA to visit my aunt a few years back....
It was about April, so it was pretty much perfect temperature in LA, like a not-too-hot Canadian summer. My mom and I were taking a walk around this really scenic hill, and this guy who we had met earlier (my aunt's neighbour) drove by and shouted "Pretty nice out, huh? I bet it's still snowing where you're from!! Hahahahahahaha!!!" Then he sped away. It was pretty lucky he did, I just about spit on him.
Later on, we were meeting another of my aunt's neighbours, this old Italian immigrant guy. We were like "Nice to meet you" and all he could say was "Move down here, huh? It's-a nice down here. It's so much better." All I could think was "Not really, everyone here's a jerk!"

Y'know, it's kinda ironic... I've been planning to someday move to Canada.

Yeah, that's it. Like forcing everybody to wear a uniform to school.
It weeds out individuality and trains you early in life to follow directions and be like everone else.

You lnow school uniforms is an old idea. I seen news reels from the 30s about it. I couldn't understand them though cuz the narration was in German.

my god.. I just read the entire thread from beginning to end.. all 200 posts of it.. here's the only thing I could find to say:

dude, you are going to the wrong grocery store. you gotta come to the safeway were I work, we aren't allowed to have more then 2 people in line or else we have to call for more checkers.. the only time when there would only be 3 lines open with 10 people in each line would be late at night, when there is no body else to call for checkout.

Well at least the check writing crap has stopped since they introduced debit cards. You just knew when you were in a hurry that some idiot ahead of you would want to write a check... so it'd be a call to the manager, a long wait while somebody went to find him, then a long wait while the check was written and the I.D. checked, then authorized... and the 'special' key inserted in the till... then a final signature on the receipt...then some people actually had the nerve to make you wait even longer while they finished putting the entry in their checkbook and calculated their balance.

people still write checks, though it's not that sort of process anymore. it's more of, they write the check, then we write their driver's license number on the check (so we can track them down if it bounces) then the check gets scanned by a computer thing, then it's done.. it still takes longer then just sliding a card through. but it's not quite that long of a process anymore.. though it still can get annoying.

Alright. Cool...but isn't a totally free country and anarchy?
