I'm going to agree with Mercury_Hat and Warren on this one.

The Queen's english... isn't. We've got the bigger economy and the bigger population. Torches? Lorries? Flats? Using the letter "U" where it doesn't belong?

If I wanted to use the wrong words and make frequent misspellings, I'd give myself aphasia; then you'd circuit my wrench with flamingos.

Haven't you been paying attention, War? We're the United States, we take what we want with ol' George W in charge and that includes your <strike>precious oil</strike> language, too!

Can't you people just be satisfied with boiling everything into a grey inedible mash?

Uhm, American English doesn't have the bigger population. India alone has double the population of the US and theirs is the UK varient.

And 'kiss' shouldn't rhyme with 'keys' but I ain't badgering any Aussies over that one.

Not that my fanatical love of the Australian accent has anything to do with that of course *cough*

I'm not on the up and up when it comes to Australian pronunciation, but I like the Aussies, they've got moxie. Pizzazz, even.

And you want to tell people who eat chitt'lin's and fried oreos they've got no imagination, you're more than welcome.

Shows what you know. Their biggest industry growth is in call centers that support the US. So they're having American english rammed down their throats like a cheap whore doing a nickel blow job.

Just as it should be.

Just cause they have American English rammed down their throats doesn't mean they'll convert!

You're Canadian. You're already our bitch.

No really. You are.

The only reason you aren't our northernmost state (yeah yeah, aside from Alaska) is that we hate Quebec.


::edit:: oh yeah, and lawforkids sucks eggs, agreed.

Sad, but true.

As far as politics go, Canada seems like a decent place to live, though I've heard the mosquitos get big enough to suck you dry.

I don't think it's the size, so much as it is the quantity.

Do we still have that kind of villain anymore?
Amusingly enough, now it's the heroes that do that. I'm the nicest person ever but if I ever found a magic lamp and had three wishes, I'd use the last one to permanently erase the human race. And any thinking hero would do the same thing. The humans are the supervillains!! Death to us!!

Gotta love how lawforkids.com messes up their credibility so much by making so many of the offenders [whatever is the most politically correct word for non-caucasians at the moment]. You also gotta love how the knife guy has an ENORMOUS peace sign on his backpack.
