this post is not filled with facts, it is filled with the exact bullshit that lets everyone else know you are a liberal that believes everything that cnn and msnbc has fed you. in this country, cnn has been known as the communist news network damn near from day one in 1980
Because it's common knowledge that if you go to Europe and you are Canadian you gain way more respect than Americans. Some Americans that go there put a maple leaf on the backpack just to save themselves from being looked down upon. Your country only cares about itself and that why you didn't join ww2 until pearl harbor. Canadians are embraced for what we've done to help out during both world wars and man for man have one of the strongest armies. Remember the battle of 1812? Probably not because your school systems are too embarrassed to teach that war. Your military goes to poverty cities and picks the poor out to fight for you because that's the only chance they have of making a dime. I'm not against all Americans because some I've met in my travels are great people but lots aren't and the way those that aren't carry themselves and think they and their country is the greatest rubs me the wrong way. I come to these boards often more to read than to post and seeing bullshit like this I won't stand for and have to say something. Sorry if you don't agree with my point of view but I'm going to express it and we can all agree to disagree after I post what I feel on the subject.
let's look at the list...
Americans, primarily servicemen, were advised to not tell people they are American when traveling in Europe because of the La Belle targeted bombing. That advisory died years ago. It's got nothing to do with "being looked down upon", in fact, if you'd actually have been to Europe you'd know quite a few places to this day roll out the red carpet for Americans because of what we did over 70 years ago.
This country did not get involved in WWII right away with actual military personnel because we didn't want to get involved in yet one more of europes many wars. But maybe you could explain what the lend lease program was. That is also why we didn't get involved in WWI right away. Maybe you can also tell everyone how Canada could NOT be involved in the world wars from day one when you were direct sovereigns of the crown of England. What is the year of your faux independence? I keep forgetting. The British empire didn't break up until after WWII. That is why the international business world speaks English, not because of American hubris.
Since WWII, the U.S. has been quite often been admired and scorned ar the same time by the same people, we are somehow expected the be the policemen/first responders of the world then admonished by liberals(which today means socialists) for "consently interfering with other governments". We were very isolationist between the wars. Before WWI there is NO ONE alive today that had any influence in domestic or foriegn affairs to blame for the way the world acted over 100 years ago, which begs the question, why do liberals insist on applying today's standards to events that happened 75, 175 and 425 years ago?
What the fuck does the war of 1812(it wasn't a battle) have to do with anything??? True, we do have issues with the public education system. But they can ALL be directly traced to liberals and common core, and if we're honest, it looks like your education that is severely lacking.
You've quite obviously never met anyone in our all volunteer military. Our military has never "gone to poverty cities" to recruit. That is a libshit hollywood myth that came out of the Vietnam war. In fact, one must be highly educated, and very capable of learning to be in today's(since 1980ish) military. Low IQ democrats couldn't handle it. Which brings up another point, every single "poverty city" in this country has been run almost exclusively by democrats for the last 50 plus years. These just happen to be the same "poverty cities" where "systemic racism" has "cops targeting blacks". Odd how cops have the most interaction with the group that commits the most crime in those locations. Also odd how all this systemic racism happens in democrat run cities.
You may be able to claim you've been to more cities than me to attend games, but I garundamntee you I've traveled this country far more than you have. There isn't a U.S. city I haven't been to on the eastern seaboard, and not just to fly in for one day and a game, but to spend my vacations in. Those travels extend all the way to the Mississippi and up the front range. Though there are quite a few I refuse to go to today, and oddly enough, they are very poorly run by democrats.
yea, you definitely get all of your news about the states from cnn, without a doubt. Now, if you'd care to actually learn why you are wrong about trump you are invited to discus it on the other side since this side is supposed to be hockey discussion.
