[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] Firstly, Frank: America has the largest land area, eh? You're fourth, you dumbass! Behind the Russian Federation, [b]Canada[/b] and China. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG] Thanks for reinforcing the ignorant American stereotype... First of Two: 1. A written guarantee of individual freedoms. >>A Bill of Rights is hardly exclusive to the US. Last time I checked, Canada has one. And ours is better because it doesn't have any gun shit in it... [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG] (easy there...) 2. Paramount. >>Shatner. Even more ego. 3. The longest-lived successful Republic-based state. >>Well, the Athenians had a democracy for a rather long time... and you beat France by less than twenty years. Besides, by then many monarchies were essentially constitutionalized and democratic anyway. 4. A viable (though seriously underfunded) space program. >>Don't forget your unneccessary (not to mention very seriously overfunder) military program. 5. Microsoft AND Apple. >>Molson AND Labatts 6. We are, to quote Bill Murray, "10 and 1!" (Okay, we took a dive in 'Nam, and Korea was pretty much a tie, so maybe it's 9-1-1.) >>And you lost in 1812. We beat your asses (well, technically it was the Brits). Canada's never lost either. Not that military might should ever have any bearing on how great a country you are. 7. C. Capps >> Me. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG] 8. Jubes >> Dani 9. Cargile >>Tahna 10. Baloo >>Fabrux >>And, uh, we've got Vorlon, too... Oh, and Baloo... I sorta agree with what you're saying. Except, well, the problem is that Americans are the exception rather than the rule when it comes to national pride. It's one thing to say Canadians are just not patriotic enough, but we feel no less pride in Canada than Australians feel in Oz, Swiss in Switzerland, Brits in the UK or Zambians in Zambia. The problem is that too many Americans think that (misconception 1) America is undeniably number one and (misconception 2) the rest of the world would undeniably be better off if they were like the US.
