Do most Canadians think folks from the USA are arrogant, belligerent, ignorant assholes?

[/quote] So you're saying that you were here first, before the europeans, and that we latecomers to the land should have a greater appreciation for the customs of the natives. Additionally the borders of the current nation states are not in alignment with the previous order. Is that right? [/quote] Nope...I'm Irish/German/Moorish and Canuck. I did learn how to make friends with my neighbours (Sechelt). Thats the important part. I've never met a non-idealogue I've had a problem with. Only those folks who can't see beyond their self-imposed veils of idiocracy merit my attention when it comes to neighbourly relations. I do have the ability to see from many perspectives though. The Acadian arguement is kaput in the face of Indian decimation. The historical divide between North and South throughout the continent, country wide is kaput and so is the Canuck vs US arguement. The differences are miniscule when viewed and experienced in a regional context but look massive from a centralized governmint (sic). I'm a byproduct of several river basins. I'm not a product of centralized programmers. But if you want to hold onto the myth of a 'America' or a 'Canada'...go for it. If your a Floridian when the dollar implodes...who ya gonna turn to? An Oregonian or a Texan? I've placed my bets on the aware in the States and Provinces that surround me. Call them Alaska, BC, Washington, Oregon and Northern Cali or Coast salish or whatever...I'm doing my best to befriend them all. I suggest we all do the same. So I will still stay with my original post that 'Americans' are not belligerent assholes because there is no such thing as an American. And most of the Americans I have met are rather intelligent perhaps because they ARE 'Oregonians', 'Indianans', Ohioans' etc. You do have a 10th ammendment right or something do you not for States rights? You will soo have an ammendment for Indian rights. [/quote] It's difficult for me to understand the mystical manner of your speach. I am accustomed to a more direct manner. I hear you saying that to maximize our survivability probability in a soon to arrive SHTF scenario, we will need to rely on our neighbors and be able to grow plants. You are saying the exile of the acadians from canada is irrelevant in the face of indian decimation. By that logic, you could ignore the plight of the indian when considering the holocaust of the european jews. Each is its own disaster of greater or lesser degree. Anyway, I thnk you make some good points but I don't agree with all of them. [/quote]
