Title: Interesting discussion?

What Country is better, America or Canada.

...never end up containing usefull discussion.

Well... I have something that may be interesting to say about that, and it's not a 'flame' or 'rant' or similar item.

Canada and the United States of America make up the Continent of North America which is part of the collection of continents called the Americas.

:idea:

This is not a criticism it is simply a pointing out of the fact that as Canada is part of the Americas, it could be nor better than America nor worse than America.

In other words... it's like those things from grade school called ven-diagrams.

A ven diagram in this case would be a large circle labeled "Americas" with a smaller circle named "Canada" inside of it.

Because the Canada circle is inside of the Americas circle it is a part of the Americas. Because the Canada circle is inside the Americas circle it contains a portion of good or bad that is equal to that portion of the Americas. Because the Americas cannot be better or worse than itself [which Canada is a part of] then America is neither better nor worse than Canada.

Adios!

(btw, this is not a rant or a flame or anything... I just wanted to try and rationalise the point of Canada being a part of the America)

Post by: Silvanoshei on September 5, 2003 02:04 pm CDT: If you were to try to put a piece of coal up my ass that could produce a sizable piece of diamond, I'd more than likely beat you. With a 2x4. With nails in it.

Post by: Jason_Xero on September 5, 2003 02:05 pm CDT: Hell, if that is what it takes to make diamonds, I sure as hell would do it!

Post by: Silvanoshei on September 5, 2003 02:20 pm CDT: Oh, please. Joke or not, I want no part of this ridiculous shcoolyard-like bullying of a country. I'd much rather live in France than in America. Better living conditions and lower crime rates aside, I'd simply be ashamed to live in America.

You do know that the Google Victories/Defeats was made by a Canadian laughing at the way the Americans were treating the French, right?

Post by: Particle on September 5, 2003 04:15 pm CDT: Yeah, this thread didn't work.

Who honestly didn't see that one coming, anyway? For those of you that want to blame somebody, blame yourselves for not being able to make an honest discussion.

It's just the high attitude "Blah = blah", "nuff said", "blah >(<) blah2" kinda crap that ALWAYS upsets people. I don't want that kind of crap here, and the next person to make a replacement thread will be banned for eternity.
