Thank you for your concern about my intelligence. Typical Ontarian. Highly insecure....the need make "short bus" comments. It comes from a desire to scream, "Toronto is the greatest city in the world....Look at us, America!" I roomed with a cat from Ontario when I went to Dartmouth (got into a pretty good school riding that short bus). They especially get testy when you jokingly fein that Canadian geography is insignificant or poorly studied by Americans. "Saskatchewan. Isn't that next to Calgary?" That'll set em off real good.

Or, ask as I did many times: "With Quebec having so much going for it, why do you think it has not successfully succeeded from the rest of Canada?"

But what does this have to do with diving? Nothing. Just couldn't resist. Harkens back to the good ole days of my alma mater. :D

Hey am I being overly sensitive or do you find this offensive as well?


cheers,
 
Just remind him that Canadians are only expected to kneel on one knee when meeting the head of state.....
 
While I understand that some Candiens may be offended I left it in place as an illustration of the thoughts and character of the poster.
Just another data point to use to grade the usefullness of information from that source.

Short list is an understatement.

Funny, that's exactly what a Kiwi said to me once. Coming from his mouth I felt it was a compliment.

Glad you guys shut the lid on that other thread.
thanks,
