Talking To Americans!
answer the above question please !
When I hear somebody sigh that Life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?
If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were; and I say Why not?
It is a hard matter, my fellow citizens, to argue with the belly, since it has no ears.

Re: Talking To Americans!
ahhh! i love it! i love it! "Congratualtion Prime Minister Tim Horton on your Double-Double"
"Congratulations, Canada, on getting your first woody" (the fictional five-dollar coin with the maple leaf on it).
if you haven't seen it, that probably doesn't make any sense, but soemhow rick mercer always gets americans to congratulate us on something hilarious, or to sign some ridiculous petition like to legalize staplers or to stop us from pummelling caribou with Timbits (doughnut holes).
lmfao! good lord, rick mercer is brilliant!
canadians... we just want attention. lol i loved it when he kept asking americans if they thought it was terrible that 70% of canadian school children couldn't identify their own state on a map (which is actually something found about american school children) and the best part was that the only person to know that canada has provinces was a little kid!
don't get me wrong, we love americans.
The Laws of God, the laws of man,
He may keep that will and can;
Not I: let God and man decree
Laws for themselves and not for me;
And if my ways are not as theirs
Let them mind their own affairs.
Their deeds I judge and much condemn
Yet when did I make laws for them?
Please yourselves, say I, and they
Need only look the other way.
But no, they will not; they must still
Wrest their neighbour to their will.
