I left my sense of humor at my in-laws house, I'll remember to pick that up.
As for historical facts...right

Yay for history!

Good history lessons thereQuote:

Two hundred years later they walk the streets with loaded guns, are two hundred pounds overweight, are led by an individual who has got a police record and are hated by most of the natural world, including Canada.

And all of that history? No personal opinions there. Just a good old fashoined "my country is better than yours" trampoling..

You know, I generally find most of the fun people poke at America usually to be funny and all. Heck, I have a good sense of humor when it comes to that.
I don't know why, but that just hurt...

Hang on a mo. On most forums you care to look at, you'll find an American poster making fun of Canada. But when the tables are turned, as in an English guy making light of American history, all of a sudden it's deeply offensive. Come now, you Americans are made of sterner stuff, Sherly.
I for one think your tradition of thankgiving is just plain greedy. Your get to have turkey for thankgiving and X-mas. Double the turkey the rest of the western world gets. Won't somebody please think of the Turkeys!?

You need to start actually reading posts cold instead of skimming them, it would mean I woulden't have to post fifteen times to explain something.
I said indeed, I have a good sense of humor (something if I recall cold, you seem to lack yourself) and if I recall, almost all the posts that have been made on DS bashing America have been met with good attitudes by most (you not among them.)
God forbid there be just one we don't like - and for some reason I can't explain I don't like. Rare moment for me.

Hey I am from america and I will laugh at it. I don't take what people say to heart. It's all good fun. Plus I dont care what you think of America...were not perfect.
Lets not destroy all our post.
Happy Thanksgiving All!

My post was not directed at you Ent. Yours was merely personal opinion. It was directed at the heavy mod editing, which I think was unnessercary and over-zealous. Particularly since Ax edited out the original comments and left Kenetics' final rebuff to stand. That's just bias.

You're all *?$%!$@~ing idiots for argueing over this.
There are more important things in the world.
Far, far more important.
Who cares what country left where for who and what they get to eat because of that. I for one ENVY them for an extra holiday.
If I was in America, I would have a sucky Thanks giving, because my fiancé left me. All of you need to sit down, and realise what pure idiots you are for arguing over this.
@Downey, you have to remember this is the internet, someone is ALWAYS going to take offence to SOMETHING you say.
@Ent, Ken, the rest... You need to SERIOUSLY chill out. You should of seen it as it was.. A JOKE.
No one is to blame here, and at the same time, you all are. In the future, try and read everything with a bit more jest.
- Jack, your friendly forum king
p.s. @ Coldfury, Ken posted AFTER Axi edited all the posts. He did not see what Ken posted after he edited them all. In the "You evil neighbourhood Grinch" part, Axi actualy meant to write "Your evil neighbourhood Grinch". It was HIM that typed that, not Ken. Just incase that's what you're on about.
