ldt026: Your Construction Smells of Corruption, I Manipulate to Recreate..
#026 - [ Your Construction Smells of Corruption, I Manipulate to Recreate.. ] [ jvaldez ]
One of those things in life that register a question mark in my head:
Canadian Supremists, Yesterday and Today:
Why do canadians feel superior over Americans? Basically a canadian is an American with better healthcare, more french accent and background, slightly better educational system and no guns. I'll be honest, I joke around a lot with the whole "canada sucks" routine and would even go so far as saying "bomb canada!" but let's be honest with ourselves here! What has Canada to offer to the world? A dual language sign system throughout one of its provinces ? Awesome. Below and in the rest of this 'shpeel' I have listed 2 things CANADA VS USA they are pretty big ones, but there are more, I have just yet to think of them. Please no death threats, this time.
Cool Cities
Canada Has:
- Vancouver
- Toronto
- Ottawa?
USA:
- Los Angelos
- San Francisco
- Seattle
- Chicago
- New York
- Miami
- San Diego
- Las Vegas
- Houston
- New Orleans
- Boston
Hm, thats kind of weird, I can't see the point that they have more big landmarks then we do.. However, the normal canadian would approach with the line "But our crime rates are lower!" Well, so are your populations, our cities are not exactly modeled after Rio De Janairo (sp?) (aka city with highest murder rate in the world.) The pollution argument can be linked with this fact too. Our cities are not little Mexico City's either (aka city with the most pollution AND population)
So we get two basic facts straight:
- Crime and Population are very important factors.
- Pollution and Population are very important factors.
Working on this, city-wise, the US has canada beat. You also cannot use any form of 'land mass' argument because in a literal sense, canada has close to what America has. So what if Canada is half covered with permafrost, not our fault, you guys chose it.
Places to See:
Canada Has:
- The other side of Niagra falls ?
USA:
- Disney World
- Used to have WTC's
- Empire State Building
- Sears Towers
- Mount Rushmore
- Devils Tower
- Mount McKinley
- Mardi Gras / Bourbon Street
- Yellow Stone National Park
- Space Needle in Seattle
- Golden Gate (Gay?) Bridge San Francisco
- Vietnam Memorial Wall
- Capitol Hill
- (too much to list really)
Basically another win. You have to remember, these places are things people all over the world would know of. How many people have ever heard of world famous monuments / things to see in canada ? 4 maybe 5 at the most? Odd, I'm still trying to find out why we Americans suck and you Canadians are awesome.
Overall, I really could care less what people think, but I like to think of things that are weird and to top it off, really have no justification or back up (i.e. canadian supremecy and canadian supremists) Just seems a bit off putting when a country right above the US considers itself a 'better' people because they have less to do, less interesting sites, and weirder accents.
