Take ‘Fake History 101’ in college?
Which is why they call themselves Canadians.
Think about it.
If we were in a war with them and were going to invade, we’d have to find 'em on a map.
As most folks know, geography is not the strongsuit of American public school education.
So a bunch of soldiers would sit down and try to figure out where exactly they should invade. Now, they’d know that the folks they were invading were Canadians. And where, I ask you, do Canadians come from? Why, Canadia, of course.
They would look on the map, find a Canada, but no Canadia, and be forced to call the whole damn thing off.
Brilliant and fiendish, exactly what I’ve come to expect from the Canuks.
War of 1812, we invaded Canada (which was a British possesion), Brits came on down and burned down the Whitehouse. At that point, however, the distinction between Great Britain and Canada was certainly not what it is today. Still, Brits and/or Canadians kicked our asses and razed some shit.
To be fair, we also burned down Toronto and repelled attacks against NYC.
I did look at a map you fucking moron. Or is the CIA Factbook suddenly not accepted here? If not I’ll offer this one.
Or do I need to find yet another source for the same damn maps?
Oh, and linking conservatives to Aryans? Thanks for calling me a NAZI. Fuck you and everything you stand for. I may not mean much to you, but there are a few notches above where I considered you that will see the light of day.
I’m just disgusted with you right now.
I would welcome this with an open water-bong. Now I challenge you to tell me how Canadian marijuana law affects the US. At all. In any way. No? Didn’t think so.
On come on!
Much of the pot that comes into our country comes over the northern border.
Of course Canadian marijuana laws affect the US, they influence just how easy it is for us to get Canadian pot.
P.S. What is an open water-bong?
A water bong with an empty bowl. Duh. :rolleyes:
Sometimes I wish I still did acid. I’m explaining an empty bong! :eek:
You oldsters and your slang. :rolleyes:
Wow. Yet again, I’m shown why I love interacting on the SDMB. We somehow got from a Coulter rant to a discussion on bongs. Life is good.
And subtle too, the sneaky bastards!
Or maybe you should get better at searching for maps.
Learn to read, moron. I didn’t call conservatives Nazis–I called Ann Coulter a Nazi, which she is in spirit, if not in actual fact. She spews the vilest garbage that should embarrass any good conservative, who ought to consign her and her kind to the farthest fringes of the extreme right.
Fuck I hate public schools. I was always taught there were 7 continents. Can anyone tell me how many there actually are?
Depends on whom you ask. National Geographic recognizes 7 continents.
I count 7.
~sniffles~
After Pangea it just wasn’t the same.
Specifically, it recognizes:
North America
South America
Europe
Asia
Africa
Australia
Antarctica
Yeah, but out of those that it recognized how many does it know really well?
Like, say, if it saw Asia talking to someone in a crowded party would it make the connection?
If Europe was walking the opposite way down the street would it notice?
If it had to choose Antartica out of a lineup, would it make the right choice?
I have to say, one of my favourite things lately is saying “Laurasia” or “Gondwanaland”. I think everyone in this thread would benefit from taking a break and saying those words.
The White House was burned down by British marines. There wasn’t a single Canadian among them.
They were Canadian in their hearts.
