Posted it it because most of it's funny and quite a bit of it's true.

I like that...its funny.

As far as the last one, Subtle humor is easy to follow. It's that damned closed-captioning I have to use that turns me off!

After reading that...I get the funny feeling it was written by an Aussie.

That was pretty funny....

I thopught it was written by a canadian...but that are stereotypes that at least are known aren't they.

omg 😆 i love it

I seriouesly questioned the first part about being American.

I don't know w single American that would want to be considered Candian while traveling abroad.

I can see the reasons for it....but I can't see someone actually doing it.

I know that's what I do when I travel abroad. Then, I have to spend five minutes explaining that I don't live in an igloo and keep a grizzly tied to the tree out front. That's when the glamour of being considered Canadian begins to come back to bite me.

[/sarcasm]

True that was kind of stupid but made me think a canadian wrote it.....the real problem with that is though that Americans don't travel abroad ✅

why should we?

we have 500 channels of television.

this is true

how many of those channels are worth watching?
probably about 20

Nah...almost everyone of them is "worth" watching.

I just choose to stick to about 20 of them. HDTV nature shows are awesome!!!

and i bet u dont get to see any british programmes
there are loads of great programs that never get shown over in america

Discover HD (channel 76 on DirecTv) is one of my favorites, too.

I watch the BBC sometimes....they have better coverage of Iraq than America because we just get the biased crap.

The only real European television I watch regularly is Premiership Football....oh and I guess you could consider the Ali G show....even though I'm sure 90% of American's think he's from the US.

u like premiership football?

Hell yah....what we play over here isn't football...it's soccer. (Amature Footie)

So I don't think there is a problem with the difference in the name considering the skill levels involved.

I just don't follow any specific team because none can be considered a "home team" for me.

did Chelsea play yesterday or the day before?
