-1 To Joker for being Canadian and picking on my little sister Dark.

!~!HaZaRD!~!

So I lose "karma" for standing up for my country? Honestly...
-1 to Hazard for discriminating against other cultures.

-1 to j0k3r for saying that Canada has a culture, while we obviously don't ;-)

+1 to iago for being more suave than Rico himself.

!~!HaZaRD!~!

Ah I'm just going to give it up.
Us Canadians suck!
Where the hell did my +1 come from I was going to go for all negatives... :D

I just realized that this topic is under general, and the description for "general" is

General computing, gaming, and [vL]-related issues.

I gave you a plus one for putting up with all the anti-canada sentiment so bravely :P

Actually I didn't even know why I was doing that, I really couldn't care less about Canada, why be devoted to a Country which would be taken over almost immediately in the even of a world war (we are right up next to the USA, countries would take us over to have a close by place to attack from, and we have no defence).

[/quote] Yes, we're completely defenceless. Please, get a clue.

Mind pointing the way?

If we got taken over, like you said, there would be an easy way to invade the US. Therefore, the us wouldn't allow us to be taken over and would rescue us. Also, I'm sure England would help us, seeing as though we're basically their child country that didn't kick their ass in the end ;-)

And I'm allowed to say anti-canadian stuff, since I'm canadian. :P

Finally, who would attack us? Nobody has a force large enough to occupy us, and how could they possibly put up with all the french people we have here?

lol@french-comment
I bet russia or china could occupy us... Although I don't presently see a reason for them to attempt it...
I think anyone in the UN would stand up for the other countries if they were to be attacked (not the ones attacking as the case with the USA was...).

June 2nd is my birthday and I'm half Italian, how odd.

May 7 Israel (2003).
The official date is Iyar 5, but you have to have a Hebrew calendar to make sense of that.
