Interesting discussion?

What Country is better, America or Canada.

Quote
...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)

Gotta love SBC with their 6Mbps tier for 45$
(Yes, on their site it only shows 3Mbps, but it is actually 6Mbps, I would know :)).

Some would argue that Mexico is contained by Central America, while others favor just a North America/South America split.  Nobody seems sure.  :)

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Well, I got 80300 hits for French Military Victories, UG. I don't know what kind of Google you're using. Unless you're basing your argument on some picture from albinoblacksheep.com that someone put together. My, that's a great source of fact.

You take everything too seriously. I could put a piece of coal up your ass, and make a diamond.  :roll:

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.

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?
