A cistern for the American athletes' tears.

I swear, you must find something better to harp upon then the US. You are truly starting to sound French or Iraqi, I can't make up my mind.

Did you get kicked out of the US or were you spurned by some US honey? I'll have to check with Homeland Security to see if you ever applied for US citizenship and were refused? :)

Oh and if you want to make fun of the US, just look at our president and the election process. Even we still after eight years of the buffoon can't resist making fun of him. The sad thing is that the majority of us never voted for him.

yes you did - you just don't want to admit it.... just like people who vote liberal up here.... :)

Take a look at the Canadian athletes who leave the event with a 15th place, and are happy because it's the best ever for our country in that event. Then look at the little American crybaby who's devastated because the little bitch only got silver in her event.

But don't worry, there should be at least a dozen more golds for the U.S. after the blood testing and age verifications get a few Chinese disqualified.

you lump all the American athletes together? I agree, it is stupid for the networks to display all that, but it is a ratings game.

I'm not into the gymnastics and always avoid them and ice skating. If the girls were twenty and nude, I would watch. Hey, that may be a new idea for a new channel on cable or something. You know any good looking twenty year olds that can ice skate or do gymnastics?

Just one of a hundred anecdotes across the Olympiads (non-boycott). I could mention the (losing) sprinter who walked away in the middle of an interview because he didn't want to talk about his ex-coach, or the winner of 7 golds at a previous Olympics complaining that nobody gave him a free ticket to Beijing (or showed his face on TV in Athens for that matter). But I won't. I'm good that way.

You're right, though. I am singling out the Americans for ridicule here. It's just part of our Canadian heritage, that's all.

But one of the things that does impress me about Americans (and true, there aren't many things that do) is they really don't accept second best. They want to win and they drive themselves to get there. It's why they are the world power, it's why they won the space race, and it's why they dominate most sports.

You can hate them for it, but it's impressive anyway. Personally, I prefer the Canadian approach of striving for excellence, but accepting failure. But it also pretty much ensures we will never reach the level of prominence the US has.

Unless of course the Earth overheats, the US turns into a desert and they all immigrate to Canada where the whole north suddenly becomes a tropical paradise.

Hey, could happen.

I mean, sticking up for the U.S. like that.

I think the Americans cry so much when they don't get medals because half the athletes for any given event are americans. Also they have the most to loose, since they put so much damn money into training their athletes.

Canadians don't need to push themselves to become better then the States, we just have to wait patiently for the States to ruining themselves (which they are doing an American style job at right now.) So I agree with that point, when americans want some (like a ruined economy) to go petal to the metal to get it.

(All the above comments were said with heavy bias against the United States of America, because I hate those dumb shits)

The American athletes for the most part pay for their own training. Some have sponsors, but they are not always American.

As for the U.S. going down the tubes, you are correct. We are on a downward path and we know it. We could shut our doors and tell the rest of the World to go away, but that is not an option really. Most probably in our lifetime, there will be a civil war in the U.S. again and the U.S. as we know it today will cease to exist. When that happens, you can jump for joy. You had also better take off for the hills as there will no longer be someone willing to kick the shit out of any aggressor who attacks a U.S. ally. I also wonder how many things that you use daily are either made in the U.S or at least invented there. Since you say we are all dumb shits, it can't be many can it.

For your edification, most Americans would see you as a dumb shit as well. I am not biased towards any nationality, just obnoxious dumb asses who view themselves as superior to others. Most of my countrymen think the same way as we tolerate a great number of things in our country.

Clearly I need to tone down the generalizations when I write comments. Obviously not all Americans are retards.

I was trying to find that map of how New Yorkers see the rest of America, but I couldn't find it. (hopefully someone can, I thought it was post on this site recently) Either way, most of all the stupid people in the United States are shown in the red section (Central and Southern States).

Last time I checked we were still allies with, what, all of Europe. It is a safe bet to say that I don’t think people “(‘IN GENERAL’)” will want to attack wee little Canada. Our Igloos, giving away a trade secret here, have force fields able to withstand the biggest nuclear explosions.

Finally, on a more serious note, I don’t recall saying anywhere that I was “superior” to anyone. In my books intelligence (less dumb shitness?) doesn’t equal superiority.

A simple question.

    loose –> lose
    then –> than
    ruining themselves –> ruin themselves
    some –> something
    to go petal –> they go pedal
    petal –> pedal
    dumb shits –> dumb shits

And I am sure I missed something but it was full sensory overload trying to figure it out.

Noir's picture

dumb shits –> dumb shits

Even I fail to see the differences there.

Stormblade's picture

Here are my two cents.

Noir's picture

More corrections below:

-americans (twice) should be = Americans

-comma after States should be = ;

-Title is not appropriate. Aphorisms are not allowed in formal writing. Same reason for the phrase "to go petal to the metal", it should also be removed.

- don't should be do not

- missed a period in the closing statement
