Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ahahaha.....

Ignorance is funny. 3nodding

Lol, yeah yeah I understand. I'd probably be that way too. I mean, yes I knew Oregon exsisted but if you gave me a blank map of the U.S.A I wouldn't be able to tell you where it was at all.

And by the way.

We have provinces.

"Like a state, but better"-My former geography teacher. xd

I don't believe the Canadian government has anything 'sovereign'....

But then again.....

All I know is that we have a prime minister, a governer general, and a useless head of state.

After that, the Canadian government eludes me.

And I couldn't be happier. blaugh

Yieah. blaugh ........


I think. xd sweatdrop

Homifreakinggawd.

I can't believe you don't know where CALIFORNIA is, Shazzer. xd

Isn't there some province with an odd name somewhere waaaaay north in Canada?

Like, "Bear Territory?" (I'm being completely serious...)

It has something to do with bears...

Well, I know where California is. I just didn't list it. sweatdrop

>P

I see my city on the maaap~ surprised

You see, the sad thing is that in recent studies; about 40-something % of American residents were unable to point out there capital city on a map. When asked where Iraq and Afghanistan were...well the answers ranged from hilarious to scary! ^_^ It's odd that when an American seems to know something of history or geography, it always seems to be American history or geography. What's the point! Here to give an example of how boring north america's history is I will sum it up in one post.

Fat rich englishmen wanted money and pushed poor europeans off there land to feed sheep which were more profitable and cuter than the current residents. These residents became colonists because hard labour beat starving to death. The english and french had a 7 year war in which nothing changed because the British were too damn lazy to actually do any punishing so 7 years of blood were all for naught. America decides it doesn't want to pay there taxes and throw rocks at the english. After the British push Canadians into the waht would become the USA agaisnt there will, the 2 sides beat the hell out of each other and USA is granted freedom. USA believes that God has granted them the land. England believes they just found one more way to lower operating costs. A few years later Canada asks nicely to succeed from British rule. Britain again is happy to get rid of the freeloading bastards.
The potatoe famine strikes and Irish refugees settle in what was now the USA. A bunch of angry Irishmen known as the fenians decide that they really want to beat the hell out of the British. Since Canada was closer they tried to beat the hell out of them instead. Unfortunetly they were drunk and we had no clear borders. This just ended in everybody hating the Irish and from that point on the Irish were cursed so that all through the ages they would be stereotyped as short red-haired drunkards.....not that they weren't already.
At about this time the warhawks emerged. These were a bunch of fat Americans wanting to get better discounts on cotton and lumber. Being Americans and having a few Fenians as drinking buddies they decided to do what came naturally to them; beat up the British. Unfortunetly the Canadians were just about fed up with these antics and decided to slip by the idiots with some kerosene and a few rags and set fire to the Americans capital. It was all in good fun though! ^_^ and thus the 1812 war was brought to a close.
By this time furs had been discovered and it was realized that a better profit could be made by ripping off teh natives and raping there women. This was doen and it eventually lead to the British and French fighting over trailmix and the natives shooting up a bunch of mounties. This was during the days of the Pemmican Wars and Louis Riel. This whole thing turned out to actually be casued by some Scottish lord screwing up and basically getting fed up with some fur traders tresspassing through his field, so in the end he was sued for the cost of the war. Good for him. As for Louis Riel, he would be damned as a traitor and a rebel until about 1980 something when it was realized that if he was played up as a native hero, history books would all have to be rewritten and Scholastic INC. could make a killing of the school board.
Gold was then discovered and racial barriers were dropped completely...well except for the natives and asians. When they died in mining accidents they were listed not in the obituaries but the section used to tally up the tools lost in the cave-in.... Ok, so I lied; racial barriers between white people were dropped. This wasn't due to any new peace but due to the fact that each person hated his fellow man just as much.
People shot each other, got drunk, and then raped the local women of visible minorities until the late 1800's when they decided that drinking tea and growing corn would be a neat hobby. Unfortunetly World WAr 1 and 2 had now shown up and since Canada was Britain's b***h due to some left over sovernty (which to this day is enforced) Canada was sent to war. Ironically, even though they fought with tools that even the FRENCH didn't want, they were the best trained and moralized troops. They discovered how to fend off the mustard gas where everyone else had failed. In fact, it was reported that the Canadians were some of the most feared troops. Thayt is until the USA arrived. They were better equipped then the Canadians.....of course when your population can afford to pay x10 more due to a higher population your army tends to look spiffier.
WW2 rolled around and again Canada was Britain's b***h. They had new equipment this time...unfortunetly this 'new' equipment turned out to be the shitty hand-me-downs the USA still had left over from the first world war. So as Canada was put through the ringer Americans happily watched news reels and praised the troops they'd sent to the war....troops that wouldn't actually arrive until about 2 years after the war started...thanks again guys. ^_^ Ah, but all that changed when D-day came. Americans would storm Juno beach and take a vital foothold on the German front. What they didn't tell Canada was that Juno was actually one of the smaller, lighter armed beachheads...thanks. Canada made wonderful cannon fodder and even though we eventually took the beach USA still got the glory and the movie rights. Not that I mind, those are some damn good movies. ^_^ I get to laugh everytime they do the clicky thing.
The clicky thing you ask? One more peice of American ingenuity. US paratroopers were equipped with cheap noisemakers that would alert comrades to there position. 1 click was to be answered by 2 clicks. Ironically the sound that the toys made was VERY similar to the sound made when cocking the German's new bolt action rifle. This lead to some rather unfortunate situations for the US troops.
After the wars things quieted down. USA crawled back into it's little hole of self-glorification and Canada was and still is Britain's b***h. Everything was as it should be. Things didn't stir up until George w. Bush entered office...but we all know how his story goes.

So to some up the history of North America is: A bunch of fat rich dudes wanted to get richer so they sent poor people to work for them. The poor people beat the s**t out of each other until the World Wars were they banded together to beat the s**t out of the Germans. They then returned home to right books about how great they thought they were and make exagerated movies about WW1 / 2 that make it seem like America was the first last and only troops in the wars. The world was as it should be, and still is. God bless North America and all the nutjobs in it! ^_^
