What I'm proud of in being Canadian is that we have a virtue of less idiots (through less population) although I can't speak for the ratio of idiots.
Regardless, think twice before you act like you're representing the sentiments of your countrymen
I never said that all Canadians were glad they were glad the Canadians in comparsion to American, merely that I've heard Canadians say they were glad that they were Canadian, and that I'm glad I'm Canadian.
The "American humor" you referred to is actually just *shitty* humour, and not necessarily representative of the typical humour that comes from that country
By "American humor" I didn't, and don't, mean the entire population of America humor, I meant a form of humor in America which is not nearly as spread in other places as in America and (I'd think) that originated in America.
(Note: I'm not talking about shitty/racist humor in general, but that off shoot of it (iraq bashing, etc))
If I was glad of where I was from because of the opinions and behaviour of the people that live in the same place, I'd have nothing to be proud of at this moment. That's Canada -- full of variety, including fucking morons.
I never said I was proud of the behavior or opinions of Canadians in general, I'm proud of the role of Canada in world affairs (keeping or nose out of where it doesn't belong).
Another post by an anonymous coward demonstrating American humor at its finest.
This reminds me ever so much of the insurance commerical I've seen being shown on American networks wherein Osama Bin laden (played by the spokesman of the company) is on a game show, says some dumb dilogue, answering the questions wrong, and being crushed by a boulder followed by Hussien (also played by the spokesman) looking shocked.
I've heard another people say it before, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm glad I'm Canadian
The education system doesn't work, I doubt it ever has. The only purposes it serves is to make people subservient and give them a basic idea of the world. Schools are one of the root reasons people aren't in control of the goverment anymore. Schools way of making kids working is by saying "This is your only option, you will be happy in the end by doing this, you don't have any choice." I find this to be very close to the USA of today, which give or take is "Live here, you'll be happy if you live here and don't make a fuss, your only choice is to go somewhere else and die there." The only difference is in schools you have no rights. No freedom of speech, no right to talk much of the time, no right to leave, no right to protest, no right to even use the washroom without permission. I'd say its quite simliar to a prision. America itself is heading towards that, for example the patriot act rings a bell. The online grades are just another invadsion of school into homes (first invadsion would be homework). Hours are becoming longer in schools, where I am schools will be extending there day by two minutes next year (might no seem like much but its just a small increase in a slow large increase). Schools are taking away students conciousness, not by some sci-fi device, but by Conditioning (another word would be brainwashing) them.
As one whos currently in Grade 11 and has been screwed up completely by schools I can say only this.
School has made me neither human, nor a ignorant brainwashed moron. I've become what so many students shall become, a lost, unforfilled, soul.

I shall sleep, I sleep an existence empty of the terror of bombs falling from the sky.

just a bun in the sun being held down to look where they shouldn't.
America, keeping you free of confrontation of grey area issues since 1776.
Still glad I'm Canadian.
