Dalek:

Who mentioned politicians??? I'm talking about the day to day, Joe Q Public Canadians that just seem to love telling everyone who will listen how bad the USA, Americans and their government is and how much better and more "civilized" Canada is than the US.

Your last post shows _exactly_ your thin skin... The "we'll all get along better" phrase had no intent of "taking my bat and ball" BullSh1t.... It was referring you to common decency and how _not_ to piss people off by not antagonizing them... But you took it the "childish" way...

...and I'll continue to wave that brush around... If you don't like the color it paints you then look carefully at yourself and your scribblings here before you tell me I'm painting you the wrong color. Because, while not being the first, loudest nor the most vociferous, you are always willing to throw in your critical 2 cents whenever someone starts bashing the US as you did in this thread and then went on to admit that it was nothing to do with you... So you shouldn't have commented - but you did - and now you're getting bitchy because I'm defending the Americans... If you weren't so damned judgemental of others, (particularly Americans), you wouldn't find yourself as the target of my defense of them...

If you can't stand the heat don't get into the fire in the first place!!!!
