That is where I caught it. Some antibiotics took care of it.

And of course their license plates say it all:

I kid, I kid.
Technically, it’s “I remember”. 
But your translation sticks better to the daily realities of people here.
Question: I generally tip 15%. Is this what the standard French Canadian tips in Florida? Kinda weird that one can afford a trip to Florida but can’t afford to pay tips, eh?
They say the same things in Myrtle Beach about French Canadias and tipping.

Who the hell said that.
UN List of best countries ranks Canada 6th.
Some of you may recall that from 1992 through 2000 Canada ranked 1st. So why the decline?
Some have speculated that it is because of an erosion in our healthcare and education systems. Others linked it to Government policies at the time of reducing national debt at the expense of our social systems.
Well both theories are wrong, the real reason for the decline is due to a formula change.
Yes that’s right, the formula changed. In 2001, the UN added in a demerit system to the calculation based on a country’s proximity to the US. In theory, the closer a country is to the US, the greater the risk of cultural infection.
DAMN YOU AMERICA!!!
On the flip side, we still placed higher than the USA (8th)!

Is this a joke? If there is a demerit system for proximity to the US how did the US place so high?
Reading crap like this makes me glad I am American and don’t have a cultural inferiority complex.

Wouldn’t the greatest country ever to exist be Rome/Italy?
With that whole cradle of civilization (well along with Greece and a few others), ruled the world for a thousand years, etc, etc, stuff. If the US is still kicking butt in 500 years or so, then you might win that debate.
There’s nothing wrong with having pride in your country, but a little objectivity isn’t a bad thing either.
It’s also a matter of perspective (the county ain’t the same for everyone); If you ask Bill Gates, he’d tell you that America is great… if you ask a homeless guy, or a poor, struggling student they might have a differing opinion (until the student invents something cool, strikes it rich and changes his or her mind :-).

we would totally kick romes ass, and my great grandfather’s family has been roman since that time so it’s an un-bias opinion.
the bum who lives on the street here is far better of than the bum who lives on the streets of soo many countries. so if i had to be a bum somewhere it would either be here, or amsterdam with their squatters policy i wouldnt be homeless long.

Yes, the demerit system was a joke, but the ranking are real:
The five countries with the lowest scores were Guinea-Bissau in 173rd place, Burkina Faso as 174, Mali as 175, Sierra Leone as 176, and Niger 177. The report was unable to rank 17 countries, such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia, because there was insufficient data.

no, we ARE the UN. the rest of you are just “members” becasue we kinda like you. keep pushing your luck Canada, and it’s straight to time out. you can’t spell UN without the U, the N is to let you know the we own them. why do you think it’s called “UNITED NATIONS”? because we the “UNITED STATES” own it. they could as easily had named it “legion of nations for peace” or the “peace nations legion for of” or even the “nation for peace of legion”? huh!? Yeah thats what i thought. it’s all part of our all knowing and all seeing governments plan to conquer the entire planet. what would we name it after we take control? how about the United Planet Earth? the good old U.P.E.
p.s. i hope you thicker headed people know it’s all in good fun, you can save your hand strength for the porn.
