[ZS Agent281]

Communist, NO! Not even socialist... However, anti-imperialist yes. American history is so self-indulgent, read a textbook and it is like kissing your own ass...

you know i figured you would know about it. i like to bring it up when americans call canadians weak, just to enjoy their remarks



many of the southerners i speak to not only never herd of it but dont belive that it happened




"and the whitehouse burned burned burned and were the ones that did it. "yah um forget which band sings the "war of 1812"

[ZS Agent281]

That is because we burnt down the Canadian Paralimentary building, correct?

{I know it was an offical building, but I am not sure which or where...}

why does that stop people from knowing about the war of 1812?

[ZS Agent281]

No reason why that should stop them, no reason for anyone not to know anything of their nations history, despite the iffy details. It prevents blind patriotism, a certain cuase of embarresment when you meet a Canadian.

The reason I don't agree with America, or at least it doesn't sit right with me, is that it has very iffy practices that can be hypocritical sometimes.

For instance, we went in to Cuba during the Sp-Am War in 1898 and denounced the Spanish concentration camps as barabaric. Then after we secured the Philipines, when the insurgents started to revolt, we used concentration camps again.

Sometimes it has to do more with the heroic spin we put on things. Take the Open Door policy, we have no spheres of influence in China, so what do we decide? That is right, we don't want anyone to have them. Yes it was probably for the best, but what truely irks me is the fact that people make it seem more righteous then it was.

I don't hate America, but I disagree with blind patriotism. That really bothers me, any sort of leap of faith or blind obiedence does.

{If that was too political just delete it or mod it. Either way just don't lock the thread if this spirals out of control...}
