I have a great many friends that are American, and I have been to many states, and everywhere I have been I haven't been treated with any disrespect because I'm Canadian, Well except once being stopped by a Texas Trooper, but that was mostly curiousity on his part, as my car had a British Columbia flag in the back window and he was intrested as to which "state" it was from :D Yes I get very pissed when my country is slammed, but hating Canada for a polital idiots is understandable, 99% of our politicians are retards and are only intrested in making a buck, and not looking out for the best intrest as a whole. BUT I must ask how can you HATE the entire country, have you ever traveled Coast to Coast across Canada (I doubt it) if You haven't then what gives you the right to judge the country as a whole.

If I cared or WE for that matter, don't ya think we would be over bribing all of the mid-east with our valuable U.S. dollar's. And don't say Iraq and us rebuilding it...waste of money...More money to the Military not damned Iraq...now im off-topic
Personally I think 2 things about Iraq, first somebody had to stop Hussain, and George W had the balls big enough to do so, I think his reasons for doing so were off center on 2 points, First I think he did it out of revenge, second for the oil.
On another note, Im not a redneck, hick, or a "stupid american". Stupid people dont score an 89 on their ASVAB and are given a $10k bonus to join the Navy. Air force wouldn't take me because of my laziness and I went to get a GED. So in that respect, I guess I am Stupid...point taken... Iraq is futile.
I have no idea what the ASVAB is, but if we're talking scores, I retook my CompTIA A+ certification Feb. of 2001 and scored better that my first, my first take on it was January 1990 and I scored 640 out of 1000 on part 1 and 720 out of 1000 on part2. In Feb of 2001 I scored 880 out of 1000 on part 1, and 960 out of 1000 on part 2. But the computer industry in Canada is dead, so I work for a telecommunications company doing Tech support instead :rolleyes:.
Yes I have my grade 12 I graduated in the 80's and I have 1st year college and 4th year university, in another year I will have my BSC in Computers, as soon as I complete my thesis, I also finished at UBC in the top 10%.
Our Military is a joke, and no one in Canada really looks at it as a Career, not like the US, but I have the upmost respect for anyone who joins the US Military.
