He's a returnee acting like a moron.

Only started posting in December. Funny thing though, never once used "bro/brohammer/jizzle/jburger/belee'dat/brotha/HAM" until 1 week ago.

Guess it does take a while though before you decide specifically what type of trolling you'd like to do.

I went on a tour of Europe with 12 people. 3 out of 4 of the Americans were horrendous. Seriously. 1 out of 4 of the canadians was also horrendous (not me, eh!). 4 out of 4 of the Aussies were awesome. Aussies for the win!

In other news, goodbye threads are terrible. If you really wanted to go, you'd just stop posting.

So, stay or go. But please no more goodbye threads.

So you just surround yourself with people you always agree with? Sounds boring.

I know many Americans that still do the 'Obama is a Muslim' crap...and I loathe it, but I still get along with them pretty good. I try not to bring it up with them and it works pretty well. They know where I stand.

Sounds like you do the same thing as me, but you explained it a bit different.

Obama is Muslim? .... I'm definitely not voting for him in 2016 when he uses executive order to allow himself to run for a 3rd term.

Those Island dwellers are probably just angry because the Flames are stinking it up right now, so they need to take it out on others....

I seriously couldn't hang around with people that ignorant. That would be the beginning of me phasing them out. (If we had already had the conversation and debate as it seems you have).

And it has nothing to do with the politics or the US presidency or anything like that. These people, at least from this example, seem easily led, ignorant, unable to think for themselves, and borderline racist. Even if he was Muslim (assuming he was still American citizen, course that is probably part of their thinking too...) what would it matter?

I guess different people have different values of importance to them when they choose and stick with friends. Not to say this is a bad thing, just that people do choose their friends for different reasons.

It also has nothing to do with, 'you only hang around with people you agree with?' There could be lots of other things we disagree on. Just in this example it seems to hint at pretty awful attitudes which I don't like.

My aunt, a Canadian, is one of those Obama is a muslim people.

My dad, a Canadian, is one of those Obama can do no wrong people.

I myself, a supporter of the libertarian party, do not believe either of these views are correct.

The men...That's what makes them great blokes to go drinking with.

The women...Mmmmmmmmmmm, I like Aussie women. Maybe their accents make me blind to their own scummyness, but I don't care.

Gotta agree, love Aussies.

Actually I've made the comparison several times. Obviously the country that Canadians vacation in the most is the States because of it's proximity. And they are always likened to be closest to us in values and attitudes etc.

But being in Australia feels a lot more like being at home to me than being in the States. I'd say our culture and attitudes are closer than ours and Americans are.

Course I hung out mostly in Melbourne, which is so much like Vancouver it's scary.
